Publication number: 20250075600Abstract: A method includes lifting a first plunger within a production string disposed within a wellbore. The production string divides the production string into multiple stages. The plunger landing assemblies include a first landing assembly and an intermediate landing assembly. The lifting includes lifting the first plunger in a first stage to lift production fluid accumulated uphole of the first plunger. The method also includes continuing to lift the first plunger until the first plunger strikes the intermediate one of the plurality of landing assemblies, allowing the production fluid to flow past the second one of the plurality of landing assemblies into a second stage. The method also includes securing the first plunger and lifting, with the production fluid accumulated uphole of a second plunger residing in the second stage, the second plunger to lift the production fluid toward the wellhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: Amr Mohamed Zahran, Syed Muhammad Bin Syed Taha, Mohamed Sayed, Gustavo Alvarez, Bagus Wahyu Setiadi

Publication number: 20250075601Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include a wellbore assembly that includes a wellhead assembly and a plunger. The wellhead assembly is coupled to a wellbore string disposed within a wellbore. The wellhead assembly includes a lubricator, a spring, and a flexible damper. The lubricator defines a tubular housing. The spring is disposed at least partially within and attached to the tubular housing. The spring comprises a first end attached to the tubular housing. The flexible damper is coupled to a second end of the spring opposite the first end. The plunger strikes, as the plunger is lifted from a downhole location of the wellbore to the terranean surface, the flexible damper. The flexible damper deforms, upon impact with the plunger, to dissipate some or all of the kinetic energy of the plunger.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: Amr Mohamed Zahran, Syed Muhammad Bin Syed Taha, Mohamed Sayed, Gustavo Alvarez, Bagus Wahyu Setiadi

Patent number: 12173589Abstract: A downhole catcher for wellbore plunger includes an elongate, hollow body, a plunger catcher plate and a hydraulic actuation assembly. The body can be installed within a wellbore, and defines an interior volume through which a plunger of a plunger lift system can travel from the surface toward the subsurface reservoir. The plunger catcher plate is attached to a downhole end of the body. The plate can transition between a first and plate positions in which a plate axis is perpendicular to and parallel to the body axis, respectively. The plate can, in the second plate position, catch the plunger traveling from the surface toward the subsurface reservoir. The hydraulic actuation assembly is connected to the plunger catcher plate and can transition the plunger catcher plate from the first plate position to a second plate position in response to being hydraulically actuated.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2022Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Syed Muhammad Bin Syed Taha, Amr Mohamed Zahran

Patent number: 11994002Abstract: A valve assembly and a method for controlling a wellbore fluid flow. The valve assembly includes a tubular having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a void. Multiple flow paths paths extend from the inner surface to the outer surface. A flow tube is slideably coupled to the outer surface and movable between a first position preventing a flow of fluid through the flow paths and a second position allowing the flow of fluid through the flow paths. An actuator sub-assembly is operably coupled to the flow tube. The actuator sub-assembly is configured to actuate the flow tube from the first position to the second position responsive to a differential pressure greater than or equal to a threshold differential pressure. The actuator sub-assembly includes a pressure cartridge, a burst disc, a retention shear ring, a retraction power spring, and a pressure chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventor: Syed Muhammad Bin Syed Taha

Publication number: 20240159233Abstract: A wellbore lift system with spring-assisted plunger includes an elongate body, multiple propellers and a spring-loaded flow control assembly. The body can traverse through a wellbore. The wellbore can produce the hydrocarbons to the surface. The body defines an interior volume within which the multiple propellers are disposed. The propellers can spin radially in response to the well tool assembly traveling downhole through the wellbore. The spring-loaded flow control assembly is coupled to the propellers. The flow control assembly can, in response to the well tool assembly traveling downhole through the wellbore, permit fluid flow uphole of the well tool assembly, and can store potential energy in the spring. In response to the well tool assembly traveling uphole through the wellbore, the spring-loaded flow control assembly can prevent fluid flow downhole of the well tool assembly and discharge the potential energy in the spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Syed Muhammad Bin Syed Taha, Amr Mohamed Zahran
