A method of making a conformable screen for downhole use including forming a plurality of screen segments out of a porous foam, and attaching the plurality of screen segments to a tubular to form a screen around the tubular.

Abstract: A counter including a housing disposed about a tubular creating a space therebetween, a piston disposed in the space and responsive to pressure up events in the tubular to compress a transfer chamber, a supply chamber fluidly attached to the transfer chamber; a trigger chamber fluidly attached to the transfer chamber wherein sequential pressure events cause the piston to move fluid from the supply chamber to the trigger chamber. A counter including a fluid incrementing configuration, an activation member in fluid force communication with the fluid incrementing configuration, the activation member having a first position where a fluid port is blocked and a second position where the fluid port is unblocked, the fluid port being fluid pressure connected to a tool to be actuated when the activation member is in the second position.

Abstract: A tubular includes an outer surface, an inner surface defining a passage, and a plurality of openings extending through the outer surface and the inner surface. A sleeve is positioned within the passage. The sleeve includes an outer surface portion having at least one recess. At least one release member extends from the inner surface into the at least one recess. The at least one release member maintains the sleeve in a first configuration relative to the plurality of openings. At least one of the inner surface and the outer surface portion includes a self-holding connection that establishes one of a reduced diameter portion of the passage and an increased diameter portion of the sleeve. The self-holding connection is configured to maintain the sleeve in a second configuration axially shifted relative to the first configuration.

Abstract: A fracturing system includes a fracturing sleeve having an opening sleeve and a closing sleeve. The closing sleeve has a collapsible seat. The system also includes a sand screen spaced from the fracturing sleeve and disposed in a same zone as the frac sleeve. The screen includes a screen sleeve having a collapsible seat, the screen seat being complementary to a plug that is complementary to the closing sleeve collapsible seat.

Abstract: Plug devices have an expander swage element, a rupturable slip element and a pusher sub. The pusher sub and slip element have a control protrusion and recess interface which guides segments of the ruptured slip element radially outwardly into engagement with a surrounding tubular. The slip element is formed of a degradable material.

Abstract: A downhole secondary flow path member includes a tubular having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion having a flow passage extending therebetween. The tubular includes a first opening arranged adjacent the first end portion and a second opening arranged adjacent the second end portion. A valve assembly is provided on the tubular at the first opening. The valve assembly includes a valve member. A flow tube runs along at least a portion of the tubular. The flow tube has a dissolvable end section mechanically linked to the valve assembly. The dissolvable end segment selectively shields the valve member from exposure to downhole fluids. The valve member changes from an open position to a closed position following dissolution of the dissolvable end segment.
