    Abstract: A system and a method for controlling a subsea blowout preventer stack with a subsea well control system having sensors and a well control programmable logic controller. The sensors are coupled to the subsea blowout preventer stack and a subsea blowout preventer control system. The subsea blowout preventer control system operates the subsea blowout preventer stack. The sensors sense a condition of the subsea blowout preventer stack and the subsea blowout preventer control system and transmit a signal representing a value of the condition to the well control programmable logic controller. The well control programmable logic controller receives the signal from the sensors, compares the value to a preset value, and in response to the value greater than or equal to the preset value, and transmits a command signal to the subsea blowout preventer control system to seal a fluid flow through the subsea blowout preventer stack.

    Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for the operation of an intelligent powerslip including interfacing with a powerlock system. Measurements from multiple sensors are monitored using an interface between a powerlock and a powerslip of a well. The measurements measure weights, pressures, and temperatures corresponding to use of the powerslip and a grappling device during operation of the well. The measurements from the multiple sensors are compared to pre-determined tolerances to verify that an appropriate engagement exists between the tubular, powerlock and the powerslip. In response to verifying the appropriate engagement and logic, either one of the grappling device or the powerslip can be released depending on the ongoing operation.

    Abstract: A pipe connection system for use in a well completion system includes an inner connector and an outer connector. The inner connector includes a tapered wall and multiple pin threads arranged along the tapered wall, wherein a pitch between projections formed by the multiple pin threads changes along an axial length of the pin connector. The outer connector is formed complementary to the inner connector along at least a portion of the outer connector.

    Abstract: A pipe assembly includes a first pipe, a second pipe, and a collar. The first pipe has a first external thread and a first rim that has a bearing surface. The second pipe has a second external thread and a second rim that has a bearing surface. The collar is threadedly coupled to the first pipe and the second pipe to form a threaded connection. The collar has a first internal thread that corresponds with the first external thread, and a second internal thread that corresponds with the second external thread. The collar has an inwardly-projecting annular shoulder residing between the first internal thread and the second internal thread. The shoulder has two bearing surfaces that face away from each other and each bear, with the threaded connection formed, against a respective one of the bearing surfaces of the first and second rims.

    Abstract: A modular reamer shoe for connection to an end of a tubular structure, such as a casing or liner, for deployment in a wellbore includes a body configured for connection to the tubular structure (casing or liner). The body includes a first section and an adjacent second section. The first section is connected to the second section such that torque can be transmitted between the first section and the second section. The first section defines a starter reamer defined by a plurality of first cutting elements and second cutting elements spaced from the first cutting elements. The reamer shoe has a plurality of actuatable blades disposed within the second area of the first section. The plurality of blades moves between extended positions and retracted positions. A nose is connected to the first section of the body. The second section is actuatable and can move in an axial direction so as to move the body, including the nose, in forward/rearward directions.

    Abstract: Tubular coupling assembly with modified buttress thread includes a coupling member to couple two pin connections. The coupling member includes an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, which can seal to surfaces of the two pin connections. The inner surface includes a first tapered axial portion extending from a first end of the coupling member towards a center of the coupling member. The inner surface includes a second tapered axial portion extending from a second end of the coupling member towards the center of the coupling member. The coupling member includes a shoulder portion connecting the first tapered axial portion and the second tapered axial portion. Regions of the shoulder portion that connect to the first tapered axial portion and to the second tapered axial portion have respective concave shapes to couple to respective convex shapes on each of the two pin connections.

    Abstract: A stage cementing differential valve tool includes a body extending from a first end to a second end. The body may include one or more ports that may be configured to circulate a cement slurry, an external sleeve may be slidably coupled to an outer surface to the body, and an internal sleeve assembly may be slidably coupled to an inner surface to the body. The external sleeve and the internal sleeve assembly may be configured to open and close the one or more ports. The stage cementing differential valve tool may also include a sealing element extending from the outer surface of the body that is configured to swell in a downhole fluid environment and a plug having shoulders with break-off points that is configured to actuate the internal sleeve assembly.
