  • Publication number: 20220325915
    Abstract: A duct clamp assembly comprises a clamp configured to apply pressure around a connection point of two duct segments, and a gasket positioned on an inner surface of the clamp. The gasket comprises a body made of a foam and a layer made of a solid polymer, and the layer extends around an outer surface of the body.

  • Publication number: 20210254440
    Abstract: A valve useful in an inflow control device for downhole use in an oil and gas well completion equipment is disclosed. The valve may have a flexible canopy that prevents fluid flow between the base pipe and the formation when flow travels in a first direction and permits fluid flow between the base pipe and the formation when flow travels in a second direction.

  • Publication number: 20180283134
    Abstract: A sand control screen assembly includes a base pipe and a flow control device positioned within a flow path for a fluid that extends between the exterior and the interior of the base pipe. The flow control device includes a housing defining an inlet that receives the fluid from the flow path and an outlet that discharges the fluid back into the flow path, and a piston chamber is defined in the housing to fluidly communicate the inlet with the outlet. A pressure-balanced piston is positioned within the piston chamber and movable between a first position, where fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet is prevented, and a second position, where fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet is facilitated. An actuator moves the pressure-balanced piston between the closed and open positions, and an electronics module is communicably coupled to the flow control device to operate the actuator.

  • Publication number: 20180238133
    Abstract: A sharp and erosion resistant degradable material used in a component in a downhole tool and a method of using said degradable material. More particularly, the sharp and erosion resistant degradable material includes dissolvable metal matrix composite which includes a dissolvable metal and a dispersed reinforcement material wherein the dissolvable metal is capable of dissolving via galvanic corrosion. The dissolvable metal may include at least one of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, zinc alloy, bismuth alloy, tin alloy, or any combination thereof. The dispersed reinforcement material may include a ceramic or a hardened metal.

  • Publication number: 20120199364
    Abstract: A method of actuating multiple valves in a well can include applying one or more pressure cycles to the valves without causing actuation of any of the valves, and then reducing pressure applied to the valves, thereby resetting a pressure cycle-responsive actuator of each valve. A pressure cycle-operated valve for use in a well can include a closure member, a piston which displaces in response to pressure applied to the valve, and a ratchet mechanism which controls relative displacement between the piston and the closure member. The ratchet mechanism may permit relative displacement while one or more pressure cycles are applied to the valve, and the ratchet mechanism may prevent relative displacement in response to a pressure sequence of: a) a reduction in pressure applied to the valve, b) a predetermined number of pressure cycles applied to the valve, and c) an increase in pressure applied to the valve.
