  • Downhole shifting tool
    Patent number: 10378313
    Abstract: A downhole tool includes a deactivation member, a latching member, a release member, and a biasing member. The deactivation member includes an outer protrusion. The latching member is positioned radially-outward from the deactivation member. The latching member includes an inner protrusion and an outer protrusion. The release member includes a sleeve extending axially toward the outer protrusion of the latching member. The biasing member exerts an axial force on the latching member.

  • System and methodology for facilitating gravel packing operations
    Patent number: 10227849
    Abstract: A technique facilitates formation of a gravel pack in a wellbore. Gravel slurry is delivered downhole to a desired gravel packing zone located along an annulus surrounding a gravel packing completion. Dehydration of the gravel pack is facilitated by providing a return flow path for a carrier fluid along drainage layers of adjacent screen assemblies. The drainage layers of adjacent screen assemblies are coupled by drainage layer shunt tubes which bypass corresponding couplings between the adjacent screen assemblies. In some applications, the drainage layer shunt tubes facilitate delivery of the returning carrier fluid to a sliding sleeve assembly.
