  • Patent number: 7870909
    Abstract: A method of providing zonal isolation in a wellbore completion includes the steps of identifying an anticipated zone for isolation in a wellbore before completing the wellbore; selecting, before completing the wellbore, a completion assembly and a cooperative deployable isolation assembly to isolate the anticipated zone; completing the wellbore with the selected completion assembly; and connecting the selected deployable isolation assembly in the selected completion assembly to isolate the anticipated zone.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050092488
    Abstract: Pressure control in an isolated lower wellbore annulus, defined by a conduit sealably positioned within an isolated lower wellbore segment, is achieved while gravel packing by sensing the pressure within the isolated lower annulus while gravel packing and admitting fluid from the isolated lower annulus into the conduit at one or more discrete locations along the conduit when the sensed pressure corresponds to one or more threshold pressure conditions. The annulus pressure is sensed while gravel packing using a pressure-sensitive device disposed in the annulus, e.g., positioned by the conduit at a high-pressure location. The pressure-sensitive device actuates one or more valves carried along the conduit to admit fluid from the annulus into the conduit at one or more of the discrete locations, and thereby control the pressure in the isolated lower annulus.
