    Abstract: Maximum penetration of coiled tubing in extended reach horizontal wellbores is significantly increased by using a continuously tapered portion of coiled tubing. In particular, the tubing wall thickness is continuously tapered such that the well thickness gradually decreases toward the far end of the coiled tubing. The exterior dimension remains constant while the internal diameter gradually increases. The non-linear thickness profile of the tubing is optimized for extended reach in horizontal wellbores. In some cases, the thickness profile is optimized for providing a uniform axial strain on the tubing in the horizontal section of the well.

    Abstract: Embodiments may include methods that include emplacing a degradable material into a wellbore, wherein the degradable material includes a thermoplastic elastomer; contacting the degradable material with an aqueous fluid downhole; and allowing the degradable material to at least partially degrade. In another aspect, methods may include emplacing into a wellbore a tool containing a sealing element thereon, wherein the sealing element contains a degradable material; engaging the sealing element with a downhole surface to establish a seal; contacting the sealing element with an aqueous fluid; and allowing the sealing element to at least partially degrade, thereby disrupting the established seal.

    Abstract: An acoustic logging tool is provided with a first acoustic source that generates an acoustic signal primarily directed into the formation, the acoustic signal including a noise signal carried axially along the tool, a second acoustic source adapted to generate a noise canceling signal along the tool that actively and significantly cancels the noise signal, and a plurality of acoustic sensors axially spaced from each other along the tool and spaced from the first acoustic source and the second acoustic source. The acoustic sensors receive and record indications of pressure signals resulting from the acoustic signal and the noise canceling signal. The pressure signal indications may be processed in order to generate information regarding the formation.

    Abstract: A system for selectively actuating sliding valves includes a segmented sleeve exhibiting a rocking (or pivoting) function. The rocking allows the bottom end of the sleeve to open wider when the front of a dart is pressed against it, provided the length of the dart is shorter than a “target length” determined by the sleeve geometry. When the dart is at least as long as the “target length” of the sleeve, the back of the dart prevents the sleeve from rocking as the front of the dart is pressed against the bottom seat. The dart remains pressed against the sleeve, effectively isolating the wellbore section above the dart from the one below it. Multiple zones can thus be independently isolated by using a set of sleeves with similar diameters, but different “target lengths.”

    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating cement in the annulus of a wellbore are provided. In one embodiment, the cement may be evaluated using a casing arrival measurement sensor that measures casing arrival signals resulting from firing a signal from a cement bond logging acoustic source. Signals other than casing arrival signals may be attenuated using grooves between the transmitter and receiver in the drill collar.
