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： An electromagnetic telemetry system for changing the operational state of a downhole device (84) disclose. The system comprises an electromagnetic transmitter (76) disposed in a first wellbore (30) that transmits a command signal. An electromagnetic repeater (68) disposed in a second wellbore (38) receives the command signal and retransmits the command signal to an electromagnetic receiver (96) disposed in a third wellbore (46) that is remote from the first wellbore (30). The electromagnetic receiver (96) is operably connected to the downhole device (84) such that the command signal received from the electromagnetic repeater (68) is used to prompt the downhole device (84) to change operational states.
