  • Patent number: 11555366
    Abstract: A drill pipe string conveyed retrievable plug system has a central through bore. The plug system includes a drill pipe string; a control section; a running tool with a connector at a lower end of a drill pipe string with the control section, and a top connector on a mechanical plug section with a bridge plug. The mechanical plug section includes a mandrel with the through bore, a ball valve arranged for closing the through bore, and a packer sleeve on the mandrel with slips and a packer element. The control section includes an electric supply, an electric control unit, and sensors connected to the electric control unit. The mechanical plug section includes a motor controlled by the electrical control unit. The motor is arranged to turn a selector ring to a selected first rotational position so as for allowing a piston sleeve to slide to an axial first stop position in order for opening to fluid channels through the mandrel from the through bore to the packer sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9708890
    Abstract: A BOP cleaning tool includes a first pipe section with a through central channel and radial channels to external fins, with nozzles for flushing fluid from the central channel out into a BOP bore for washing cavities in the BOP bore, the central channel provided with a flow control sleeve provided with holes, the flow control sleeve displaceable from a radially closed initial first closed position to a second position with the holes aligned with the inner radial channels for starting flushing through the nozzles, and further displaceable to a radially closed third position with the holes out of alignment with the inner radial channels for halting the flushing through the nozzles.
