Patent number: 11598166Abstract: A float equipment assembly includes an inner string that provides a fluid flow path through the float equipment assembly. The float equipment assembly also includes an opening through which a fluid flowing through the inner string exits the float equipment assembly. The float equipment assembly further includes a moveable member, which when repositioned, isolates the inner string. The float equipment assembly further includes a dissolvable material that initially prevents repositioning of the moveable member, where the moveable member is repositioned after a threshold portion of the dissolvable material has dissolved.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Michael Novelen, Caleb Thomas Warren, Thomas Owen Roane, Thomas J Frosell

Patent number: 11542780Abstract: A multi-functional well completion apparatus and method of operation thereof that offers the ability, in a single trip and with limited running tool manipulation, to perform downhole completion operations, such as gravel pack operations or sand control frac or other fluid stimulation operations is described. The well completion tool has multiple functions or operational positions by using a self-closing time delay valve without the need of service tools, thereby saving rig time, reducing operating costs and operational risks associated with tripping service tools into and out of a wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Michael Novelen, Edmund Christopher Williamson

Publication number: 20220372836Abstract: Provided, in one aspect, is an anchor for use with a downhole tool in a wellbore. The anchor, according to this aspect, may include a base pipe; and one or more expandable chambers positioned radially about the base pipe. The one or more expandable chambers may, in some aspects, be configured to move from a first collapsed state to a second activated state; and the one or more expandable chambers may be operable to handle at least 20.7 Bar of internal pressure in the second activated state to engage a wall of a wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Ryan Michael Novelen, David Symon Grant, Espen Dahl, Morten Falnes, Gavin Lafferty

Patent number: 11428052Abstract: A method and apparatus according to which a connection between first and second completion joints is made up. The first and second completion joints each include a base pipe and a shunt tube disposed along the base pipe. The respective base pipes of the first and second completion joints are threadably engaged to form a pin and box connection. The shunt tube of the first completion joint is coupled to the shunt tube of the second completion joint using a jumper tube. The jumper tube is supported at a position longitudinally between the respective shunt tubes of the first and second completion joints using a first support member. In some embodiments, the first support member is longitudinally slidable along the base pipe of the first or second completion joint to the position between the respective shunt tubes of the first and second completion joints.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Boon Yen Er, Ryan Michael Novelen, Matthew Gommel, Austin Lee Wright

Patent number: 11143003Abstract: Methods to dehydrate a gravel pack and to temporarily increase a flow rate of fluid flowing from a wellbore into a conveyance are disclosed. A method to dehydrate gravel pack includes deploying a valve at a location proximate a gravel pack. The valve includes a rupture disk that ruptures in response to a threshold amount of pressure, and reactive fluid that actuates the valve to a closed position. The method also includes providing a fluid flow path from the gravel pack to the conveyance. The method further includes closing the valve after providing the fluid flow path from the gravel pack to the conveyance for a threshold period of time.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Michael Novelen, Edmund Christopher Williamson, Stephen Michael Greci
