    摘要: A technique facilitates actuation of a downhole device, such as an isolation valve. According to an embodiment, the downhole device may be in the form of an isolation valve member, e.g. a ball valve element, actuated between positions by a mechanical section which may comprise a shifting linkage. Actuation of the mechanical section, and thus actuation of the isolation valve member, is achieved by a trip saver section controlled according to a pressure signature which may be applied from a suitable location, e.g. from the surface. The trip saver section comprises a housing having an internal actuation piston coupled with the mechanical section. The trip saver section further comprises a pilot piston and a plurality of chambers formed in a wall of the housing and arranged to enable shifting of the actuation piston in response to a predetermined series of pressure pulses or other suitable pressure signature.

    摘要: The pure mechanical well deviation wireless measure-while-drilling and mud pulse generation device includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder coaxially arranged inside the outer cylinder; an inner flow channel is formed inside the inner cylinder, and an outer flow channel is formed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder; a flow control valve and a hydraulic turbine are arranged in the inner flow channel, and the flow control valve is located at an upstream section of the hydraulic turbine. The device further includes a signal generation base and a rotary stopper. An overflow hole is formed on the signal generation base and arranged in the annular outer flow channel, and the rotary stopper can periodically shield the overflow hole. The inclinometer includes the pure mechanical well deviation wireless measure-while-drilling and mud pulse generation device, an inclinometer outer cylinder and an eccentric rotary column.

    摘要: An object carrier including a housing having a bore with a diametrically larger portion and a diametrically smaller portion, an object keeper having a first and a second end, the first end being initially disposed in the diametrically smaller portion, an actuator assembly configured to move the first end of the object keeper from the diametrically smaller portion to the diametrically larger portion responsive to selected application of pressure, and an object disposed within the object keeper and secured within the object keeper while the first end of the object keeper is in the diametrically smaller portion, the object being released from the object keeper upon the first end of the object keeper moving to the diametrically larger portion. A method for managing an object-based operation downhole of a restriction including pressuring up on the object carrier, withdrawing the first end from the diametrically smaller portion, and releasing the object.

    摘要: A system can comprise a drill string sub that is configured to couple to a drill rod of a drill string, wherein the drill string sub defines a shoulder and at least one through hole. A plug assembly can be receivable with a bore of the drill. The plug assembly can be releasably coupled to the drill string sub. When decoupled from the drill string, the plug assembly can be configured to be pumped into the drill string. The plug assembly can comprise a distal subassembly that defines a receiver that is configured engage a reverse circulation overshot. A proximal subassembly can be coupled to the distal subassembly. The proximal subassembly can comprise a brake apparatus that is configured to inhibit proximal movement of the plug assembly.
