Abstract: An example method may include determining a first planned stimulation location within the formation. The first planned stimulation location may be based, at least in part, on a pre-determined model of a formation. A borehole in the formation may be drilled with a downhole tool. The first planned stimulation location may be adjusted based, at least in part, on data received at the downhole tool. Additionally, the downhole tool may stimulate the formation at the adjusted first planned stimulation location. A second stimulation location also may be determined based on data received at the downhole tool after stimulation of the formation at the adjusted first planned stimulation location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimized well creation in a shale formation are described herein. The method may include determining a first planned stimulation location within the formation. The first planned stimulation location may be based, at least in part, on a pre-determined model of a formation. A borehole in the formation may be drilled with a downhole tool. The first planned stimulation location based, at least in part, on data received at the downhole tool. Additionally, the downhole tool may stimulate the formation at the adjusted first planned stimulation location. In certain other embodiments, a second stimulation location may be determined based on data received at the downhole tool after stimulation of the formation at the adjusted first planned stimulation location.

Abstract: Connectors for attaching a composite pipe to a service member are described herein. In one embodiment, a connector can include a service end, a slip nut, a slip, a seal carrier, and an energy conductor. The slip nut can be disposed about the outer surface of the pipe and can be engaged by the service end. The slip can be positioned about the outer surface of the pipe and can be engaged by the service end and the slip nut to compress the slip into gripping contact with the pipe. The seal carrier can be positioned in a bore of the pipe at a location radially opposite the slip to resist deformation of the pipe when the slip is compressed into gripping contact with the pipe. The energy conductor can be embedded within and surrounded by a material of the service end for connection with an energy conductor within the composite pipe.

Abstract: A wireline retrievable jet cleaning tool (10) comprising an adapter axle (12), a longitudinally extending axle (16), and a nozzle housing (14) rotatably mounted around the axle (16), the nozzle housing having at least two longitudinally spaced-apart nozzle sections (18A, 18B) adapted to sweep jets of cleaning fluid over longitudinally spaced target areas in a well tool or tubular, each nozzle section (18A, 18B) preferably having at least one tangentially directed nozzle (44), at least one radially directed nozzle (48) and at least one obliquely directed nozzle (52). A longitudinally reciprocating jet cleaning tool (60) comprising a rotatable nozzle housing (64) adapted to rotate around and slide longitudinally along a fixed axle (66) responsive to increased fluid pressures is also provided.

Abstract: A fluid flow control apparatus, shifting tool and method for oil and gas wells in which a sliding sleeve valve is connected in a string of well tubing in a wellbore casing. The sliding sleeve valve functions to selectively control fluid communication between the well tubing and the wellbore casing. A shifting tool is provided for opening and closing the sliding sleeve valve and is connected to reeled tubing for receiving a fluid. The shifting tool includes a nozzle for discharging the fluid into the well tubing during or after the valve shifting operation.

Abstract: A fluid handling system with an injector in an enclosure and at least one stripper with upper and lower cup-shaped receptacles and resilient seals in the receptacles together with a fluid relief port between the receptacles for recovering fluid passing the seals.

Abstract: A system for handling reeled tubing including a guide, a shear for cutting the tubing, and a tubing injector including upper and lower strippers and guides and an enclosure for the injector. The enclosure in one form excludes sea water in an open bottomed enclosure and in the other maintains pressure in a completely closed enclosure.

Abstract: A connecting apparatus for two tubular members including an adapter sleeve extending over the end portion of one of the members in a coaxial relationship therewith and adapted to abutt the end of the other member. A threaded nut means extends over the adapter sleeve in engagement therewith, and is adapted to threadedly engage the outer surface of the corresponding end portion of the other member to connect the members together. The adapter sleeve increases in cross-section in a direction towards the end of the one member to decrease the stress on the latter member accordingly.
