Patent number: 11053774Abstract: An operating system for a barrier valve or safety valve is responsive to increments in annulus or tubing pressure. An indexing device controls valves that selectively direct pressure applied to one side of an operating piston or the other for attaining the open and closed positions of the barrier valve. One such indexing device can be a j-slot. Other devices that operate a pair of hydraulic valves in tandem for pressure direction to one side of an actuation piston or another are contemplated. The system needs no electric power and there are no control lines needed to run below the production packer in the case of using annulus pressure to actuate the piston or at all if access to tubing pressure is provided from the vicinity of the barrier valve components.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANYInventors: Michael H. Johnson, Todd C. Jackson

In one aspect, a method is performed by a system of one or more data processing devices. The method includes receiving, at the system, a historical record of message exchange between an individual and members in a member network, the system determining, for each of the members, whether the individual is likely to want to be related to the respective member, each determination considering the number and transactional characteristics of the message exchange between the individual and the respective member in the historical record, and the system outputting the determinations that the individual is likely to want to be related to at least two of the respective members.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Brian STOLER, Neilfred PICCIOTTO, Joseph ROZIER, John COSTIGAN, Todd C.

Publication number: 20150136392Abstract: A one trip interventionless method for fracking multiple intervals incorporates a remotely operated passage isolation valve for each interval. A screen backed by a base pipe is provided to route screened production through a shutoff valve before the production reaches the passage in the completion assembly. The shutoff valve is remotely operated as well. The fracking port is associated with a pressure responsive operator such as a j-slot mechanism with a spring return. The j-slot mechanism is behind a rupture disc so that it remains unaffected while other operations are going on in the wellbore. The rupture discs are set at different pressures for the intervals involved. Sequentially, each fracked zone is isolated and the zone above is opened with breaking the rupture disc and applying predetermined number of pressure cycles. The screen valves are remotely operated as needed after the fracking to initiate production from one or more intervals.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Applicant: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Todd C.
