  • Publication number: 20230304376
    Abstract: Provided is a float for use with a fluid flow control device, a fluid flow control device, a method for manufacturing a fluid flow control device, and a well system. The float, in one aspect, includes a ceramic base material having one or more cavities therein, the ceramic base material and the one or more cavities creating a net density for the float that is between a first density of a desired fluid and a second density of an undesired fluid, such that the float may control fluid flow through a flow control device when encountering the desired fluid or the undesired fluid.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20230304377
    Abstract: Provided is a float for use with a fluid flow control device, a fluid flow control device, a method for manufacturing a fluid flow control device, and a well system. The float, in one aspect, includes a base material having one or more hollow ceramic shells therein, the base material and the one or more hollow ceramic shells creating a net density for the float that is between a first density of a desired fluid and a second density of an undesired fluid, such that the float may control fluid flow through a flow control device when encountering the desired fluid or the undesired fluid.

  • Patent number: 11499398
    Abstract: A wellbore downhole tool, comprising: a nozzle assembly, the nozzle assembly includes a nozzle including: a cylindrically-shaped tube with a substantially uniform outer diameter across substantially an entire height of the nozzle, at least one retaining body opening located in an outer wall of the nozzle; a holding body including: a conduit, the conduit sized to fit the nozzle there-through, an alignment opening extending from an outer surface of the holding body to the conduit; and a retaining body sized to fit within the alignment opening of the holding body and to contact the retaining body opening of the nozzle when the nozzle is inserted in the conduit such that the cylindrically-shaped tube of the nozzle cannot rotate or move further in or out of the conduit. A method of assembling the wellbore downhole tool is also described.

  • Patent number: 10544652
    Abstract: Well systems for plugging and unplugging a flow path in a subterranean formation are provided. An example well system comprises a flow path comprising a two-part dissolvable flow-plug. The two-part dissolvable flow-plug comprises a retaining component and a plugging component adjacent to the retaining component. The retaining component comprises a dissolvable material. The flow path is in fluid communication with a tubing. The retaining component is configured to retain the plugging component in a fixed position.
