    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automated process of identifying shut-in parameters of a hydraulic fracturing operation from hydraulic fracturing treatment (HF) data. Also disclosed is a system and computer program product for automatically determining shut-in parameters from HF data. The HF data can be collected in real time during a HF from various sensors, equipment, or systems typically used in HFs or present at a well site. In one example, a method for automatically determining hydraulic fracturing parameters includes: (1) obtaining HF data, (2) determining a Rate Shut-In (RSI) time from the HF data, (3) determining a Well Shut-In (WSI) time using the RSI, and (4) calculating an Instantaneous Shut-In Pressure (ISIP) value based upon both the RSI and the WSI times, wherein determining the RSI time, the WSI time and calculating the ISIP value are automatically performed by one or more processors.

    Abstract: A downhole anchoring mechanism configured to anchor a downhole tool assembly to a target location within an oilfield tubular. The anchoring mechanism comprises an anchor pad, a first arm coupled to a first hub and the anchor pad, and an extension mechanism coupled to a wedge hub and the anchor pad. The anchor pad is configured to extend radially outwards by the tapered surface of the wedge hub to engage an inner surface of a small oilfield tubular in response to the extension mechanism being configured in a deactivated mode. The anchor pad is configured to be extended radially outwards by the first arm and the extension mechanism to engage the inner surface of a large oilfield tubular in response to the extension mechanism being configured in an activated mode. The extension mechanism is a telescopic arm assembly or a sliding axle assembly.

    Abstract: A rotary steerable drilling system can be positioned in a subterranean formation to steer a drill to form a wellbore in the subterranean formation. An orientation of a steering valve, which is positioned in the rotary steerable drilling system, can be adjusted to cover each channel of one or more channels of a valve seat adjacent the steering valve to deactivate each steering pad of one or more steering pads of the rotary steerable drilling system. The orientation of the steering valve can be adjusted to activate at least one steering pad of the one or more steering pads of the rotary steerable drilling system.

    Abstract: A linear electromechanical actuator with a failsafe design may be used with a downhole flow control system. In one example, a subsurface safety valve for controlling flow of production fluids includes a valve closure element moveable between an open position and a closed position in response to a linear movement of an actuating member. A biasing member biases the valve closure element to the closed position. A power section with an electrically-powered motor drives a rotation. A drive section coupled to the power section converts the rotation of the motor to the linear movement of the actuating member to at least open the subsurface safety valve. A clutch selectively decouples the power section from the drive section in response to a power loss.
