Abstract:
A method for determining a shape of an expanded tubular including expanding an expandable swage, urging the expandable swage though an expandable tubular, and determining an outside dimension of at least one segment of the expandable swage.
Abstract:
An expandable swage including a swage body, at least one swage segment in operable communication with the swage body, and a position indicator in operable communication with the at least one swage segment; the position indicator capable of providing information related to an outside dimension of the at least one swage segment. An expandable tubing system for use in a wellbore including an expandable swage, a stroker in operable communication with the expandable swage, an anchor capable of anchoring the stroker, and a position indicator in operable communication with the expandable swage; the position indicator capable of providing information related to an outside dimension of the expandable swage. A method for determining a shape of an expanded tubular.
Abstract:
An apparatus for verifying cement arrival at a target location includes a liner. A sensory structure radially outwardly disposed of the liner at a target arrival location of cement from a cementing operation. The sensory structure configured to sense arrival of cement. A seal configuration automatically responsive to the sensed arrival of cement. Also included is a method for addressing micro annulus formation in a downhole cementing operation.
Abstract:
A method of making a cutting tool includes disposing a mandrel in a form; disposing at least one watercourse insert between the form and the mandrel; placing a matrix material in the form and about the mandrel.
Abstract:
An anchoring system including a housing; a chamber defined by the housing; and one or more telescopic assemblies disposed in contact with a wall of the housing and responsive to pressure within the chamber and a method for anchoring a tool in a wellbore.
Abstract:
A cutting tool includes a mandrel; a matrix affixed to the mandrel; and cutting material disposed within the matrix and method of making the same.
Abstract:
A washpipe includes a tubular member; a recess extending axially along the tubular member; a conductor positioned within the recess; and a communication configuration communicatively attached to the conductor.
