摘要:
Apparatus and methods for penetrating a downhole target within a wellbore include providing a body with a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end into a wellbore, the body having a nozzle at the first end. The nozzle is adapted to project a medium in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis to affect a downhole target. An actuator in communication with the medium is usable to initiate the apparatus. The nozzle can be provided with a geometry configured for projecting the medium in a pattern that separates the downhole target into at least two portions. The medium can include a ferromagnetic material that becomes associated with the downhole target to facilitate recovery of the target or portions thereof using a retrieval device having a magnetic element.

A petroleum well drill- or coiled tubing string mounted fishing tool includes a main body including a lower housing with a magnet having at least one magnet surface facing downwards in the well at a lower end of the lower housing and arranged for catching and holding undesired magnetic objects present in the well, the main body provided with a connector to the drill- or coiled tubing string at its upper end. The tool further includes a generally cylindrical upper housing with a central channel with laterally directed curl flow forming nozzles through the cylindrical wall of the upper housing, the nozzles leading out into one or more helical grooves between helical ridges, the magnet including permanent magnets arranged in a magnetization pattern which concentrates their combined magnetic flux through the downwards facing surface, the upper housing's vertical channel extending near its lower end to peripherally directed channels extending to an outer wall of the lower housing about the magnets and leading to axially directed peripheral nose ports at a peripheral lower end of the lower housing and arranged for flushing fluid ahead of the magnet, the central channel provided with a vertically displaceable cylindrical flow control sleeve which is provided with a closing seat near its lower end so as for receiving a ball for shutting off the flow to the nose ports and redirecting the flow through apertures in the wall of the sleeve to the curl flow forming nozzles.
摘要:
Systems and methods for magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of samples from unconventional reservoirs are described. Fast and inexpensive methods are described that can provide reliable information on TOC content, type, and maturity (via the relative abundances of different hydrocarbons, for example) without the need for more extensive sample preparation or destruction. If care is taken during sample recovery and storage, NMR can also yield an estimate of gas-in-place, including detailed typing (e.g. methane vs. ethane). The described MAS NMR analysis is used to determine various properties of unconventional reservoirs, including gas and oil shales, which are useful in evaluating their worth and producibility.

摘要:
A downhole tool that includes a tractor for assisting movement of the tool through deviated portions of a wellbore. The tractor includes a working fluid that damps vibrations in the tractor by adjusting the viscosity in the fluid. In an example, the working fluid is a magnetorheological fluid that has a viscosity that changes in response to applied electrical energy. The working fluid, which may be used for powering actuators on the tractor, may contain a suspension of magnetic particles.

Fiber optic enabled casing collar locator systems and methods include a wireline sonde or a coil tubing sonde apparatus configured to be conveyed through a casing string by a fiber optic cable. The sonde includes at least one permanent magnet producing a magnetic field that changes in response to passing a collar in the casing string, a coil that receives at least a portion of the magnetic field and provides an electrical signal in response to the changes in the magnetic field, and a light source that responds to the electrical signal to communicate light along an optical fiber to indicate passing collars.

A method of actuating a well tool can include displacing a magnetic device pattern in the well, thereby transmitting a corresponding magnetic signal to the well tool, and the well tool actuating in response to detection of the magnetic signal. A method of injecting fluid into selected ones of multiple zones penetrated by a wellbore can include displacing at least one magnetic device into at least one valve in the wellbore, the valve actuating in response to the displacing step, and injecting the fluid through the valve and into at least one of the zones associated with the valve. An injection valve for use in a subterranean well can include a sensor which detects a magnetic field, and an actuator which opens the injection valve in response to detection of at least one predetermined magnetic signal by the sensor.

A downhole magnet tool is disclosed comprising a top sub having an inner bore terminating in a downhole facing open end, the inner bore defining a centralizer receptacle of smaller width than a width of the downhole facing open end, a mandrel terminating upwardly in a centralizer stem, the centralizer stem being fitted in the centralizer receptacle of the top sub, and a magnet mounted on a downhole facing surface of the mandrel. A method of assembly of a downhole magnet tool is also disclosed.
摘要:
A downhole valve apparatus including a force transmitter configured to move in an axial direction and a valve actuator configured to move in an axial direction. The valve actuator is independently movable relative to the force transmitter and physically isolated from the force transmitter. A first magnetic assembly is disposed at the force transmitter. A second magnetic assembly is disposed at the valve actuator. The first and second magnetic assemblies are configured to repel one another and cause the force transmitter to move the valve actuator when the force transmitter is moved toward the valve actuator.
摘要:
A casing string in a wellbore has conductive tubulars and modified conductivity (MC) or non-conductive tubulars joined to one another. A MC/non-conductive tubular may be disposed between two conductive tubulars. If there are at least two MC/non-conductive tubulars and at least three conductive tubulars, two of the MC/non-conductive tubulars may be alternately disposed between three of the conductive tubulars. The MC/non-conductive tubulars may be formed from materials such as stainless steel, fiber-reinforced thermal sets, and thermal plastics. One such thermal plastic is polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and it may be glass-reinforced. The conductive tubulars, if electrically isolated, may be used as electrodes to transmit or receive electromagnetic signals. The casing string may used for borehole to surface applications, surface to borehole applications, borehole to borehole applications, or single well applications. The casing string may also have downhole sensors, uphole sensors, and surface sensors. Those sensors may be transmitters or receivers.
