    Abstract: A system used to dislodge and, if necessary, sever a tubular string that is stuck within a cased wellbore. The system utilizes a jar, a plurality of plugs, and a tubular severance device. Components of the system are carried to their respective desired downhole positions by downward fluid flow within the wellbore. The jar is configured to jar the string in an effort to dislodge the string from its stuck point. The plugs are configured to fill open perforations formed in the casing in order to direct the fluid toward the stuck point and away from the perforations. If the string cannot be freed by the jar, the tubular severance device is deployed within the string above the stuck point. Detonation of the device severs the string above the stuck point.

    Abstract: A well cutting tool, comprising a housing including a chamber, the housing having at least one nozzle, the chamber being loaded with thermite, and a gas-generating additive an ignitor such that when the ignitor is actuated to ignite the thermite, the gas-generating additive is caused to create an increase in pressure which discharges energised molten thermite from the chamber and out of the housing through the at least one nozzle.

    Abstract: A cable head line cutter tool comprising an internal mandrel anchored to a line and releasably held in an initial position by a pressure relief valve which may act in coordination with a locking mechanism disposed within an outer housing of the cable head cutter tool. When a tensile load is applied to the line sufficient to overcome an opening pressure of the pressure relief valve and a mechanical resistance acting upon the locking mechanism, and maintained for a duration sufficient to overcome a hydraulic resistance acting upon the locking mechanism, the internal mandrel may become released to travel within the outer housing. If the tensile load applied to the line is sufficient to open the pressure relief valve, release the mandrel from the locking mechanism, and maintained for sufficient duration, the mandrel may cause a line cutter device of the cable head line cutter tool to cut the line.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses of the present disclosure generally relate to dissolvable plugs for separating fluids in a wellbore. A dissolvable plug includes a first end comprising a first fluid barrier. The first fluid barrier includes a polymer film. The dissolvable plug also includes a second end opposite to the first end. The second end comprises a second fluid barrier. The second fluid barrier comprises a polymer film. The dissolvable plug includes a solid structure made of a sand and salt mixture.

    Abstract: A tool (1) for manipulating a target with combustion products from a propellant, includes a housing (2) defining a chamber (12), a propellant source located within the chamber (12), an ignition mechanism (28) for igniting propellant (26) at the propellant source, and at least one chamber outlet (30) for combustion products from the propellant source. The tool (1) is configured to automatically open the chamber outlet (30) from a closed condition, following ignition of the propellant (26) at the propellant source. Methods of manipulating a target using the tool are also described.

    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for establishing hydraulic communication between a relief wellbore and a target wellbore during relief well applications are provided. Present embodiments include a perforating gun that uses an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) to establish hydraulic communication between a relief well and the target well for well kill operations. The EFP may be detonated downhole according to the Misznay-Schardin effect, thereby releasing a projectile toward the target well to form a relatively large hole through the casing/cement between the wellbores. The EFP may be positioned in a desired orientation with respect to the target well, in order that the projectile may be directed from the relief well directly into the target well. In some embodiments, the disclosed perforating gun may include several EFP charges positioned along one side of the gun at approximately 0 to 10 degree phasing from each other.
