摘要:
An apparatus includes a base pipe and a fluid control material. The base pipe includes openings, and the fluid control material is mounted to the pipe to control fluid communication through the openings of the pipe. The fluid control material has a permeability that may be changed to selectively control the communication of well fluid through the openings.

An apparatus includes a casing and a sealing element that is retained in the casing. The sealing element has an unset state in which the sealing element has a first radial thickness and a set state in which the sealing element has a second radial thickness that is greater than the first radial thickness to form a seal between the casing and an inner tubular member.

Disclosed herein is a swellable packer having a support element. A portion of the support element is substantially adjacent to the base tubular. Another portion of the support element is separated from the base tubular and a portion of the area between the support element and the base tubular is filled with the swellable material. Also disclosed herein is a sealing system including a packer as described above and a method for sealing within a wellbore using a packer as describe above.
摘要:
Oilfield elements and assemblies are described comprising, in one embodiment, an elastomeric composition comprising the reaction product of a linear or branched polymer having residual ethylenic unsaturation with an ethylenically unsaturated organic monomer having at least one reactive moiety selected from acid, acid anhydride, and acid salt, the elastomeric composition formed into an oilfield element. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
摘要:
A swellable packer including a tubular member and a swellable element. The tubular member is disposable on a mandrel configured to be deployed into a wellbore. The swellable element is disposed around the tubular member, and has segments of different cross link densities, with the segments configured to provide a varying cross link density in the swellable element along a thickness of the swellable element, an azimuth of the swellable element, or both.
摘要:
The invention is a sealing system, such as a packer, that is used in a wellbore to seal against an exterior surface, such as a casing or open wellbore. The sealing system includes a swellable material that swells from an unexpanded state to an expanded state thereby creating a seal when the swellable material comes into contact with a triggering fluid.
摘要:
A valve device for restricting flow is provided that includes a degradable portion. A method of temporarily blocking flow is also provided which includes a degradable portion of an oilfield element.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore comprising combining a carrier fluid, a first amount of particulates, and a second amount of particulates into a slurry, wherein the first amount of particulates have a first average size distribution and the second amount of particulates have a second average size distribution, wherein the first amount of particulates comprise an expanding material, placing the slurry in the wellbore, and lowering a screen into the slurry. An apparatus and a method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, the method comprising combining a carrier fluid, a first amount of particulates, a second amount of particulates, and a third amount of particulates into a slurry, wherein the first amount of particulates have a first average size distribution, the second amount of particulates have a second average size distribution, and the third amount of particulates have a third average size distribution, wherein the first average size distribution is at least two times larger than the second average size distribution, and wherein second average size distribution is at least two times larger than the third average size distribution, wherein at least one of the second amount of particulates and the third amount of particulates comprise a expanding material, positioning a screen in a wellbore, and circulating the slurry through the wellbore such that the first amount of particulates and the second amount of particulates are deposited on an outer surface of the screen.
