Patent number: 10858909Abstract: A set of pressure activated tools that could be used in a well bore to allow for hydraulic fracturing completions are provided. Methods, apparatuses and assemblies are described herein for perforating (also known as hydraulically fracturing or stimulating) subterranean formations. In some embodiments, an insert is provided having a body for sealing engagement with a port in a tubular member. The insert body can include a fold-over ledge and a membrane having a first mode wherein the membrane prevents fluid passage through the body and a second mode wherein the membrane partially disengages from the body upon treatment fluid reaching a threshold pressure and folds over the fold-over ledge in a bottle-cap opening manner to contribute to the fracture of the formation by the pressurized treatment fluid exiting the port.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: INTERRA ENERGY SERVICES LTD.Inventors: Serhiy Arabsky, Vitaliy Arabsky

Patent number: 10487621Abstract: A method and apparatus for the injection of steam into a hydrocarbon well during a Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process are provided. The apparatus can include a shifting sleeve positioned within the body of the apparatus. The shifting sleeve can have an open and a closed position. In the closed position annular seals can substantially prevent steam within the bore of the body from exiting the device and flowing into the wellbore. When the shifting sleeve is moved to its open position, an aperture in the body aligned with a steam dispersing cover mounted on the body can be exposed to pressurized steam from the bore of the apparatus and can allow steam to exit the bore and be dispersed into the wellbore. The steam dispersing covers can have dispersion openings which can direct the steam into the wellbore as desired.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: INTERRA ENERGY SERVICES LTD.Inventors: Serhiy Arabsky, Vitaliy Arabsky
