    摘要: A latching assembly includes a first mating portion and a second mating portion disposed adjacent and rotationally restrained relative to the first mating portion. A first cam member having a first cam profile is mounted on the first mating portion. A second cam member having a second cam profile is mounted on the second mating portion. The second cam profile is adapted to inter-fit with the first cam profile. Torque induced by the cam members when the cam profiles are engaging rotates the first cam member until the first cam profile is inter-fitted with the second cam profile.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for building a tool string uphole of any desired length prior to lowering that tool string downhole into a wellbore for the purpose of performing wellbore operations downhole during a single trip into the wellbore. The apparatus includes a valve disposed between an upper section and a lower section of the wellbore and adapted to open and to close, the upper section of the wellbore being isolated from the lower section of the wellbore when the valve is closed. The tool string of any desired length is built in the upper section of the wellbore when the valve is closed and the upper section of the wellbore is isolated from the lower section of the wellbore. The apparatus also includes a mandrel and piston, the valve being initially disposed in an open position and adapted to be changed from the open position to a closed position when the mandrel is shifted from one position to another position. An upper chamber communicates with a gas reservoir and a valve manifold at the surface. The manifold includes a slow bleed valve and a fast bleed valve disposed at the wellbore surface. A gas metering orifice separates the upper chamber from a lower chamber. The mandrel is shifted in one direction and the valve changes position when a gas is delivered from the surface of the wellbore to the upper chamber thereby moving the piston and the mandrel, the mandrel shifting in an opposite direction and the valve changing position again when the gas in the upper chamber leaks from the upper chamber to the fast bleed valve at the surface. The mandrel shifts in the one direction and the valve changes position again when the gas from the surface is delivered to the upper chamber. However, the mandrel does not shift in the opposite direction and the valve does not change position again when the gas in the upper chamber leaks from the upper chamber to the slow bleed valve at the surface.

    摘要: Well operating elements are described, one embodiment comprising a first component that is substantially non-dissolvable when exposed to a selected wellbore environment and a second component that is soluble in the selected wellbore environment and whose rate and/or location of dissolution is at least partially controlled by structure of the first component. A second embodiment includes the component that is soluble in the selected wellbore environment, and one or more exposure holes or passages in the soluble component to control its solubility. The second embodiment may or may not include a substantially non-dissolvable component. Methods of using the well operating elements in oilfield operations are also described. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
