Abstract: A system for controlling flow in a wellbore can include a down-hole control module that is hydraulically coupled to multiple components of the system. The control module can include a computer, which can be preprogrammed to operate the various components in a particular sequence, and communicate confirmation or error signals to a surface location. The control module can also include a micro-hydraulic motor and pump that can that can be instructed by the computer to selectively deliver hydraulic fluid to one or more of the components of the system. The system can include isolation members such as packers, hydraulic pressure maintenance devices (PMDs), hydraulic sheer joints, inflow control devices or valves (ICDs or ICVs) and a three-position valve that can be actuated by the control module without necessitating communication with a surface location.

Abstract: A completion method and assembly includes a packer extending along a pipe that is positioned in a wellbore to create an annulus between the pipe and the wellbore, the packer having a sealing element with first and second ends. A shunt tube is positioned adjacent the sealing element and extends from at least the first end to the second end of the sealing element to form a bypass through which a volume of proppant can flow. A fluid chamber is disposed to release a setting fluid into the shunt tube to mix with proppant therein and seal the shunt tube once proppant has flowed into the annulus. An injection assembly includes a fluid chamber configured to accommodate a fluid; a fluid control line fluidically coupled to the fluid chamber and the shunt tube; and an actuation device to force the fluid from the fluid chamber and into the shunt tube.

Abstract: A method and system for installing one or more control lines on a travel joint is disclosed. A control line coil is arranged along a travel joint. An inner mandrel is coupled to an upper bushing and a lower bushing. The control line coil is wrapped along the outer surface of the inner mandrel. The control line coil comprises a first portion located proximate the upper bushing, a second portion located proximate to the lower bushing and a straight length control line extending between the first portion and the second portion. The first distal end of the straight length control line is coupled to the upper bushing and the second distal end of the straight length control line is coupled to the lower bushing.

Abstract: A packer assembly is located in a compacted wellbore and a method of relieving compression on the packer assembly are disclosed. An initial load path that exists when the packer assembly is in a set position is altered. The alteration of the load path relieves substantially all of the compression on the packer assembly. This causes a lower packer mandrel to move towards an upper packer mandrel. This upward movement shortens the distance between the upper packer mandrel and the lower packer mandrel, which removes the compressive forces on the packer assembly.

Abstract: A system for use with a well having multiple zones can include multiple well screens which filter fluid flowing between a completion string and respective ones of the zones, at least one optical waveguide which senses at least one property of the fluid as it flows between the completion string and at least one of the zones, multiple flow control devices which variably restrict flow of the fluid through respective ones of the well screens, and multiple pressure sensors which sense pressure of the fluid which flows through respective ones of the well screens. A completion string for use in a subterranean well can include at least one well screen, at least one flow control device which selectively prevents and permits substantially unrestricted flow through the well screen, and at least one other flow control device which is remotely operable, and which variably restricts flow through the well screen.
