Abstract: A downhole cleaning tool (120) for use in a drilled bore, such as an oil and gas well (100). The tool (120) comprises a tubular body (130) defining an internal bore (136) and at least one radially extending blade (148) defining a pocket (152) having sides and a base. A cam-activated radially extendable cleaning element (154) is mounted in the pocket (152) and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. Multiple pockets (152) and cleaning elements (154) may be provided. The activating cam may be in the form of a pipe, which may be a single unitary part or may be in multiple parts. The parts of the multiple-part pipe may be axially spaced and may activate the cleaning elements in a staggered or sequential manner.

Abstract: A downhole cutting tool (13) for perforating a tubular (14) in an oil or gas well comprises a body (4); radially moveable cutting members (3) mounted on the body (4); a helical profiled member (1) rotatable relative to the body (4); and activation members (2) axially movable relative to the body (4). Rotation of the helical profiled member (1) generates axial movement of the activation members (2), and the activation members (2) configured to actuate the cutting members (3) from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration.

Abstract: A cover system and method of automated deployment for protecting structures from fire dangers uses water pressure to force fire resistant rolls and folded arrangements of materials to deploy when a water valve is triggered by high heat. Water then is forced through sprinkler hoses on the interior of the deployed materials to maintain a wet condition on the interior surface of the deployed covers and also on the exterior of the building that is being protected. The water is collected in pockets of the deployed material which anchors it in place and pumps within the pockets return the water to a distribution manifold on the roof of the structure.
