A completion system includes, a tool string having, a plurality of packers configured to isolate a plurality of zones along a borehole that the tool string is positioned within. A plurality of ports along the tool string are configured to be selectively opened and a plurality of screens in operable communication with the plurality of ports are configured to filter fluid flowing between the zones and an inside of the tool string through the plurality of ports. The tool string is also configured to be run into the borehole, the plurality of packers set, the plurality of ports selectively opened, and fluid to flow between the plurality of zones and an inside of the tool string without intervention.

An interventionless downhole screen that is resistant to plugging during run-in-hole operations and a method for remotely actuating the screen. The screen includes a perforated sleeve that is slideably disposed coaxially with a perforated tubular member. When running, the sleeve is in a closed positioned with its openings offset from the apertures in the tubular member, thereby blocking flow through the screened openings, while a check valve through the tubular member allows fluid ingress. To actuate for production, the tubular member is pressurized, which moves a piston into ratcheting engagement with the sleeve. A subsequent depressurization allows the piston to return to its original position, carrying with it the sleeve to an open position where the sleeve and tubing perforations are aligned for allowing fluid flow into the tubular member.

A jumper tube is connected to a shunt tube of a well screen assembly by positioning the jumper tube end to end, adjacent with the shunt tube. A spring clip is then flexed over a profile of a coupling and allowed to snap into gripping engagement of the coupling, thereby retaining the jumper tube relative to the first screen assembly.

Disclosed are wellbore flow control devices that allow on-site field adjustments to flow characteristics. One disclosed well system includes a base pipe defining one or more flow ports and an interior, a first end ring and a second end ring each arranged about the base pipe, the second end ring being axially-offset from the first end ring such that a fluid compartment is defined therebetween, an autonomous inflow control device (AICD) arranged within the fluid compartment and having at least one fluid inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with the one or more flow ports, and a sleeve removably coupled to the first and second end rings and configured to be removed to provide access to the fluid compartment and the AICD in order to make on-site fluid flow adjustments to the AICD.

An example tubing string may at least partially define an internal bore. The tubing string may include an expandable packer and a permeable barrier. The tubing string may further include a remotely-controllable valve responsive to at least one downhole trigger condition, such as a downhole pressure or temperature condition. The remotely-controllable valve may provide selective fluid communication through the permeable barrier between the internal bore and an annulus outside of the permeable barrier. The remotely-controllable valve may function as at least one of a fluid-loss control valve in a completion string assembly or a circulation valve about a completion string assembly.

A completion joint 100 has two sand control jackets 120A-B connected on each end of an intermediately-mounted inflow control device 130. Both jackets 120A-B communicate with a housing chamber 155 through dedicated open end-rings 140A-B. The basepipe's flow openings 118 are isolated from this housing chamber 155 by a sleeve 160 fitted with flow ports 170. The housing 150 is removable to allow access to the flow ports 170 for pinning to configure the ports 170 open or closed for a given implementation.

A wellbore screen for screening particulates in wellbore fluid comprising: a base pipe having an inner bore; and a screen section disposed in a section of the base pipe, the screen section comprising (i) an outer jacket having an inner facing surface and apertures extending through the outer jacket, (ii) an inner wall having an outer surface, an inner surface and a port extending through the inner wall from the inner surface to the outer surface, (iii) an annulus formed between the inner facing surface of the outer jacket and the outer surface of the inner wall, (iv) a filter medium for the apertures of the outer jacket; and (v) a filter disc disposed in the port of the inner wall, wherein wellbore fluid flows from outside the base pipe into the inner bore through the apertures, the filter medium, the annulus, and the filter disc
摘要:
A method of monitoring deformation and other characteristics of a casing or other tubular or cylindrical well equipment in a well traversing an underground formation. The method includes providing a carrier rod having at least one recess extending along at least part of the length of the rod, in which recess an optical fiber assembly for monitoring strain, temperature and/or other physical parameters is arranged, which assembly is along at least part of the assembly's length bonded within the recess; lowering the carrier rod and well equipment simultaneously into the well such that the rod is arranged in an annular space between the well equipment and the wellbore; securing the rod at a plurality of locations distributed along the rod's length to the well equipment; and connecting the optical fiber assembly to an optical signal transmission and reception assembly for monitoring physical parameters of the well equipment.

A downhole completion assembly for sealing and supporting an open hole section of a wellbore includes a first sealing structure having opposing first and second ends and being arranged within an open hole section of a wellbore, the first sealing structure being movable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. A second sealing structure has opposing first and second ends and is arranged proximate the first sealing structure within the wellbore, the second sealing structure also being movable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. When in their respective expanded configurations, the first and second sealing structures are frustoconical in shape and the first end of the second sealing structure is at least partially nested within the second end of the first sealing structure.
摘要:
A flow control assembly for regulating fluid flow in a wellbore is disclosed. A remote-open ICD is opened in response to swelling of a swellable actuator. The swellable actuator can move a flow regulator radially, circumferentially, etc., such that flow is allowed through the regulator. Alternately, the swellable actuator can move one or more valve members to an open position thereby allowing fluid to flow across the valve and to the flow regulator. The swellable actuator can be swelled in response to introduction of chemicals or heat. A guide mechanism can be used to control swelling of the actuator or movement of the regulator device or valve member.
