    摘要: A bridge plug includes a splayable assembly. The splayable assembly includes an upper annulus with upper extensions, a lower annulus with lower extensions opposing the upper annulus along an axis extending through the upper annulus and the lower annulus, and a linkage connecting the lower annulus to the upper annulus. The linkage has an upper link pivotably connected to a lower link, the upper link pivotably connected between circumferentially adjacent upper extensions and the lower link pivotably connected between circumferentially adjacent lower extensions. The elastic barrier sleeve extends circumferentially about the splayable assembly such that movement of the lower annulus towards the upper annulus expands the elastic barrier sleeve to form a barrier within a wellbore. Bridge plug arrangements and methods of emplacing bridge plugs in wellbores are also described.

    摘要: A tool brake is provided for use in horizontal wells that is positionable between a setting tool and a setting sleeve in combination with a tool string. Upon activation of the setting tool to set a bridge plug in a well, the normal action of the setting tool causes activation of the tool brake that extends one or more arms from the tool brake to exert pressure against the wellbore casing of the well. The tool brake prevents reverse slippage caused by gravity's pull of the tool string in a horizontal well permitting accurate placement of downhole tools such as perforating guns. Moreover, inadvertent cutting of a cable that retrieves the downhole tools can be prevented such as due to slippage of downhole tools over-lapping the cable before perforating guns are detonated.

    摘要: A container stack configurator can build customized software applications and deploy the applications to a wellbore computing network or through offline installer devices. The stack configurator can receive a selection from a user of a configuration repository. The stack configurator can determine available branches of the configuration repository including images, tags, and container names. The stack configurator can present a list of services associated with the container names to the user using a user interface. The stack configurator can receive a selection of an installer type and generate a customized build of the installer type. The customized build of the installer can be an offline installer that is deployable on an offline target machine using a first communication media or an online installer that is deployable to an online target machine using a second communication media.

    摘要: Systems and methods of the present disclosure generally relate to reporting carbon and hydrogen isotopic ratios during a wellbore operation. A method for detecting isotopic ratios during the wellbore operation, comprises receiving a fluid sample from a wellbore during the wellbore operation; passing the fluid sample to an analytical instrument operable to determine isotopic ratios in the fluid sample; outputting data comprising isotopic ratios for at least carbon and hydrogen; assigning a depth to the data; and transmitting the data based on isotopic ratios encountered during the wellbore operation.

    摘要: A dual clutch travel joint system includes an inner-mandrel and an outer-mandrel. The inner-mandrel includes a first connector on a downhole portion of the inner-mandrel and a second connector on an uphole portion of the inner-mandrel. The outer-mandrel includes a third connector that is positionable to mate with the first connector to apply torque to the inner-mandrel while the inner-mandrel is in a tension arrangement with the outer-mandrel within a wellbore. Additionally, the outer-mandrel includes a fourth connector positionable to mate with the second connector to apply torque to the inner-mandrel while the inner-mandrel is in a compression arrangement with the outer-mandrel within the wellbore.

    摘要: A method of treating a subterranean formation can include: introducing a first fluid into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation; introducing a second fluid into the wellbore after introduction of the first fluid, wherein the second fluid comprises: a base fluid comprising water; a viscosifier; and a stabilizer, and wherein the second fluid has a rheological 3-rpm dial reading to 300-rpm dial reading ratio in the range of 1:1 to 1:3; and introducing a third fluid into the wellbore after introduction of the second fluid, wherein the second fluid inhibits or prevents the first fluid from mixing with the third fluid. The second fluid can be a liquid plug that substantially inhibits or prevents the first fluid from mixing with the third fluid. The first fluid can be a drilling mud or spacer fluid. The third fluid can be a spacer fluid or a cement composition.
