A method of servicing a well bore comprises deploying into the well bore a zonal isolation device operable to self-set at a sensed location, and self-setting the zonal isolation device to hold at the sensed location without receiving command communications from the surface, wherein the zonal isolation device is deployed along at least a partial length of the well bore via an external force. Another method of servicing comprises deploying into the well bore a tool operable to self-activate at one or more locations, and self-navigating the tool to determine the one or more locations without receiving communications from the surface, wherein the tool is moved along at least a partial length of the well bore via an external force.

A downhole tool (100) for wellbore operations comprises a substantially tubular member (130) that is operably positionable in the wellbore and a rotation member (110) that is rotatably disposed within the substantially tubular member (130). The rotation member (110) has a passageway (112) through which objects may pass into the wellbore. The rotation member (110) rotates about an axis of rotation (x) that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (y) of the substantially tubular member (130) in response to fluid flow through the passageway (112). The rotation member (110) has magnetic properties such that rotation of the rotation member (110) generates a magnetic field that produces useable power.

A method is provided for monitoring a well. In a described embodiment, the method uses annulus pressure to communicate between a downhole system and a remote location. The method may use intermittent electrical power generated by changes in annulus pressure to power the downhole system. Various sensors and well tools may be monitored and actuated by the downhole system, and acquired data may be transmitted to the remote location.

A power generating system (100) for a downhole operation (10) having production tubing (40) in a wellbore (12) includes a magnetized rotation member (110) coupled to the wellbore (12) within the production tubing (40), the rotation member (110) having a passageway (112) through which objects, such as tools, may be passed within the production tubing (40). Support braces (170, 172) couple the rotation member (110) to the production tubing (40) and allow the rotation member (110) to rotate within the production tubing (40). Magnetic pickups (150, 152) are predisposed about the rotation member (110) within the wellbore (12) and a power conditioner (200) is provided to receive currents from the magnetic pickups (150, 152) for storage and future use. The rotation member (110) rotates due to the flow of fluid, such as crude oil, through the production tubing (40) which causes the rotation member (110) to rotate and induce a magnetic field on the magnetic pickups (150, 152) such that electrical energy is transmitted to the power conditioner (200), the power conditioner able to store, rectify, and deliver power to any one of several electronic components within the wellbore (12).
摘要:
A method of simultaneously stimulating at least a first and second zone of a subterranean formation that includes flowing a fluid through multiple flow rate restrictors, with a first restrictor located adjacent the first zone, a second restrictor located adjacent the second zone, and the first and second restrictors are connected in parallel. As at least one of the fluid properties changes, the flow rates of the fluid exiting the first and second restrictors are similar within a flow rate range, and allowing the fluid to stimulate at least the first and second zones. As at least one of the properties of the fluid changes, the pressure differential between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet increases and as the pressure differential increases, the flow rate of the fluid exiting the fluid outlet is maintained within the flow rate range.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for controlling the flow of fluid, such as formation fluid, through an oilfield tubular positioned in a wellbore extending through a subterranean formation. Fluid flow is autonomously controlled in response to change in a fluid flow characteristic, such as density or viscosity. A fluid diverter is movable between an open and closed position in response to fluid density change and operable to restrict fluid flow through a valve assembly inlet. The diverter can be pivotable, rotatable or otherwise movable in response to the fluid density change. The diverter is operable to control a fluid flow ratio through two valve inlets. The fluid flow ratio is used to operate a valve member to restrict fluid flow through the valve.
