摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for laying an expansible lining in a conduit. The device may include a patch having an initial diameter less than that of the conduit, and the patch may be configured to deform by radial expansion beyond an elastic limit to an expanded diameter such that it may contact a wall of the conduit. The device may also include an expander tool axially displaceable inside the patch, and the expander tool may be configured to cause the radial expansion of the patch to an expanded diameter. The device may also include a checking member mounted in proximity to the expander tool. A section of the checking member may be calibrated so that the checking member and the expander tool are capable of passing freely inside the patch when the patch is properly expanded, and the checking member and the expander tool are unable to pass inside the patch when the patch is improperly expanded.

Method for repairing a hanger (D) of a liner (B), for making a leak-tight connection, the liner (B) being placed inside and in the continuation of the casing (A) of a well, the method consisting in axially positioning a metal tubular blank (1) in the well, the blank having a solid wall radially deformable beyond its elastic limit and comprising an upper cylindrical portion (10) whose outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the casing (A), a lower portion (13) also cylindrical whose outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the liner (B), and an intermediate portion (11, 12) of diameter varying between these two diameters, and causing radial expansion of at least one of these two cylindrical portions (10, 13) beyond its elastic limit so that they are applied closely and firmly and in leak-tight manner against the inner face of the wall opposite the casing (A) or liner (B).

The device includes a radially deformable flexible tubular preform (1) that can be expanded by internal pressure and hardened in situ by heating its wall to polymerize it, the preform is formed of a rectilinear main section (10 and a rectilinear secondary section (11) at an acute angle (.alpha.) to the main section (10) and joined and sealed to the latter in a middle area (10c), temporary restraining bindings being provided to hold the secondary section initially in a radially folded condition, pressed against the main section (10), the combination then constituting a rectilinear preform, whereas after removal of the temporary restraining bindings (3), and due to internal pressure, the secondary section (11) separates from the main section (10), the combination then constituting a generally "y" shape preform adapted to be polymerized in the area of bifurcation of the well.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of regulating the flow rate of formation fluids produced from a determined zone of an underground well whose cased wall is provided with orifices through which said formation fluids can pass, said method consisting in applying a tubular structure along the casing in said zone, which tubular structure prevents the fluids from flowing directly while also preserving a flow path along which the fluids can flow via the annular space outside the tubular structure so as to generate head loss. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method, which device is essentially constituted by a radially-expandable tubular structure that can be applied against the inside wall of the casing, the structure being provided with means for preserving the flow of the fluids via a path running along the casing and along the structure, in order to generate head loss.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for unplugging a well or pipe obstructed by a gas hydrates. According to the invention, a moving heating element is applied against one end of the hydrate plug, and is displaced axially in the tube or the pipe towards the other end, so as to cause the plug to melt progressively from one end to the other. Application to the oil industry, in particular in off-shore wells.
摘要:
A new class of reagents and method of use of the reagents in the reaction of the reagents with electrophilic compounds. The invention in one embodiment is directed to a method for the formation of an alcohol of the formula (I). The method includes reacting reagent of the formula (II) with an aldehyde of the formula R10CHO to form the alcohol. X3 is one of O and C(R4)(R5). Each of X1 and X2 is independently O or N—R. Each of Ca and Cb is independently an achiral center, an (S) chiral center or an (R) chiral center. Ra and Rb are (i) each independently C1-10 alkyl, C6-10 aryl or C3-9 heteroaryl, or (ii) taken together to form a C3-C4 alkylene chain which together with Ca and Cb forms a 5-membered or 6-membered aliphatic ring. Rc and Rd are each independently hydrogen, C1-10 alkyl, C6-10 aryl or C3-9 heteroaryl. R is C1-10 alkyl, C6-10 aryl or C3-9 heteroaryl. Each of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 is independently hydrogen, C1-C10 alkyl, C6-10 aryl, C3-9 heteroaryl, C1-10 alkoxy, C6-10 aryloxy, C1-10 dialkylamino, C1-10 alkyl-C6-10 arylamino, C1-10 diarylamino, or halogen.
