Abstract: A method of manufacturing a valve of a tool for use downhole includes changing a flow characteristic of the valve. A load is applied to a first nozzle secured in a housing of the valve via a first release member, wherein a magnitude of the load is greater than a release threshold of the first release member, to release the first release member. The first nozzle is removed from the housing, and a second nozzle is secured in the housing via a second release member.

Abstract: A tubular includes an outer surface and an inner surface defining a passage. A plug is arranged in the tubular blocking the passage. The plug is formed from a disintegrating on demand (DOD) material. An ignition device is coupled to the plug. An excitation mechanism is selectively operatively associated with the ignition device. The excitation mechanism selectively activates the ignition device to break apart the plug.

Abstract: A packer including a body having a first axial end and a second axial end, an element disposed about the body, and a flow passage within the body extending from the first axial end to the second axial end. The body defines a first pathway including a first port dimensioned and configured to receive a first penetrator and a second opening having a dimension smaller than the first port, the first port being located at the first axial end of the body and the second opening being located at the second axial end of the body. A second pathway defined by the body includes a second port dimensioned and configured to receive a second penetrator and a first opening having a dimension smaller than the second port, the second port being located at the second axial end of the body and the first opening being located at the first axial end of the body.

Abstract: A downhole assembly includes a downhole tool including a degradable-on-demand material and a triggering system. The degradable-on-demand material includes a matrix material and an energetic material configured to generate energy upon activation to facilitate the degradation of the downhole tool. The triggering system includes an igniter arranged to ignite the downhole tool, an electrical circuit, and a pre-set timer. In an open condition of the circuit the igniter is not activated, and in a closed condition of the circuit the igniter is activated. The pre-set timer is operable to close the electrical circuit after a pre-set time period.

Abstract: A pressure differential plug including a mandrel, a baffle within the mandrel, and one or more passageways in the baffle, the passageways configured and dimensioned to restrict flow therethrough due to a valve coefficient thereof to both allow fluid flow therethrough and simultaneously allow the building of actuation pressure against the baffle without landing a member on the baffle. A borehole system including a borehole, a string in the borehole, the string including a plug as as in any prior embodiment. A method for causing an actuation via pressure including flowing fluid through a baffle of a plug as in any prior embodiment, increasing a flow rate through the baffle to raise pressure upstream of the baffle to an actuation level without seating a member on the baffle.
