摘要： Assemblies that can be disposed in a subterranean bore are described. Certain assemblies can be used to orient a second pipe with respect to a first pipe in a bore. A second pipe can be rotationally oriented without breaking one or more control lines that may be associated or included with the second pipe by using a tool that orients the second pipe as the second pipe is moved toward a surface of the bore. In some embodiments, assemblies can be used to orient multiple portions of the second pipe with respect to multiple windows of the first pipe. The first pipe may be a casing string and the second pipe may be a tubing string.

摘要： A high pressure multiple branch wellbore junction. A wellbore junction system includes a wellbore junction with at least three bores extending therethrough. Exits of the three bores are axially spaced apart. At least two deflectors are formed on the wellbore junction. The deflectors are axially spaced apart, and each of the deflectors is aligned with a respective lateral exit of the bores.

摘要： A multi-layer deformable composite construction. In a described embodiment, a method of expanding a structure in a wellbore includes the steps of: positioning the structure in an unexpanded configuration in the wellbore, the structure including a wall made up of multiple layers; expanding the structure to an expanded configuration while permitting relative displacement between the layers; and then preventing relative displacement between the layers.

摘要： The present disclosure addressed apparatus and methods for forming an annular isolator in a borehole after installation of production tubing. Annular seal means are carried in or on production tubing as it is run into a borehole. In conjunction with expansion of the tubing, the seal is deployed to form an annular isolator. An inflatable element carried on the tubing may be inflated with a fluid carried in the tubing and forced into the inflatable element during expansion of the tubing. Reactive chemicals may be carried in the tubing and injected into the annulus to react with each other and ambient fluids to increase in volume and harden into an annular seal. An elastomeric sleeve, ring or band carried on the tubing may be expanded into contact with a borehole wall and may have its radial dimension increased in conjunction with tubing expansion to form an annular isolator.

摘要： A releasable no-go tool and associated methods provide enhanced capabilities in positioning an item of equipment in a wellbore. In a described embodiment, a releasable no-go tool includes a circumferentially continuous key which is radially outwardly displaced by a series of pistons. In use, the tool is interconnected in a tubing string, which is lowered into a casing string in a wellbore. The casing string has a nipple interconnected therein, the nipple having an internal profile. The tool is positioned below the nipple, pressure is applied to the tubing string to extend the key, and the tubing string is raised to thereby engage the key with the profile.

摘要： Phase-controlled well flow control. A well system includes a flow control device which regulates flow of a fluid in the well system, the flow control device being responsive to both pressure and temperature in the well system to regulate flow of the fluid. A flow control device includes a flow regulator for regulating flow of a fluid through the flow control device, and an actuator which is operative to actuate the flow regulator in response to a predetermined relationship between a phase of the fluid and both pressure and temperature exposed to the actuator. A method of controlling a phase change of a fluid in a well system includes the steps of: flowing the fluid through a flow control device in the well system; and adjusting the flow control device in response to both pressure and temperature in the well system.
