    摘要: A pigging tool may include a housing positionable in a pipeline. The housing may define a bypass channel that extends along an axis that is nonparallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing. An energy generation device can be positioned in the bypass channel of the housing such that fluid is receivable by the energy generation device to generate energy for the pigging tool. Further, an energy storage device may store energy generated from the energy generation device. The energy storage device may provide the pigging tool with energy to perform one or more operations in the pipeline.

    摘要: A downhole chemical reactor can be placed in a downhole environment to generate gas in-situ. This gas can pressurize an inner pressure chamber of the downhole chemical reactor to create a pressure-on-demand source or to maintain a constant pressure reservoir, depending on the configuration of a reactor controller coupled to an inlet of the inner pressure chamber. The inner pressure chamber contains one or more desired chemical reactants and the reactor controller operates to permit well fluid to flow from the wellbore and into the inner pressure chamber. The well fluid reacts with the desired chemical reactants and generates one or more gases such as hydrogen or carbon dioxide. The generated gases pressurize the inner pressure chamber and a pressure regulator coupled to the inner pressure chamber maintains a maximum pressurization of the inner pressure chamber. For a constant pressure reservoir, the reactor controller repeats this cycle indefinitely.

    摘要: Provided is a liner hanger, a method, and a well system. The liner hanger, in one aspect, includes a liner hanger body having an expansion section movable from a radially unexpanded state to a radially expanded state in contact with an inside diameter (ID) of a wellbore tubular. The liner hanger may further include a support assembly coupled to the liner hanger body, the support assembly including a support housing, and a mechanical support structure positioned radially inside of the support housing. In one aspect, the mechanical support structure is movable from a first position radially misaligned with the expansion section when the expansion section is in the radially unexpanded state to a second position at least partially radially aligned with the expansion section when the expansion section is in the radially expanded state. The liner hanger, in one aspect, further includes expandable metal coupled to the mechanical support structure.

    摘要: A shaped cutter is disclosed for use on a drill bit. In one or more example, the shaped cutter includes a substrate including a proximal end and a distal end and defining a cutter axis extending between the proximal and distal ends. A cutting table secured to the proximal end of the substrate includes a cutting face with a central boss axially extending from the cutting face and a plurality of ribs radially extending across the cutting face from the boss to a periphery of the cutting table. The cutting face may recede axially from the periphery towards the central boss, such as by defining a planar section, a plurality of intersecting planar sections, and/or a concave (e.g., frustoconical) shape between adjacent ribs.

    摘要: A downhole gas separator assembly. The gas separator comprises a drive shaft; a first fluid mover mechanically coupled to the drive shaft having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; a fluid reservoir concentrically disposed around the drive shaft and located downstream of the first fluid mover, wherein an inside surface of the fluid reservoir and an outside surface of the drive shaft define a first annulus that is fluidically coupled to the fluid outlet of the first fluid mover; a second fluid mover having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein the second fluid mover is located downstream of the fluid reservoir, and wherein the fluid inlet of the second fluid mover is fluidically coupled to the first annulus; and a gas flow path and liquid flow path separator having a gas phase discharge port open to an exterior of the assembly and a liquid phase discharge port.
