    Abstract: A seal arrangement including a T-seal, a backup adjacent the T-seal, and a bullet seal adjacent the backup and responsive to the backup to splay a wing of the bullet seal. A method for sealing a system, including running a seal arrangement into a tubular structure, sealing the arrangement to the structure, and radially retaining the T-Seal with the backup. A borehole system, including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a string in the borehole, and a seal arrangement disposed within or as a part of the string.

    Abstract: A swab resistant seal tool, includes a seal mandrel, a seal element, and a releaser securing the seal element to the mandrel under a tensile load. The releaser is releasable upon being exposed to a trigger. A method for assembling a swab resistant seal tool includes disposing a seal element on a mandrel, securing a first end of the seal element to the mandrel, imparting a tensile load to the seal element, and securing a second end of the seal element to the mandrel. A method for operating a seal tool includes resisting swabbing of a seal by holding tension in the seal element and setting the seal tool by releasing a releaser. A borehole system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a string in the borehole, a seal tool disposed within or as a part of the string.

    Abstract: A production well has nested casings including a first production casing and a first production tubing installed within the first production casing, which extends from a surface to a depth within the wellbore. Before implementing a gas-lift operation in the production well, the first production tubing is removed. A second production casing is lowered within the first production casing. The second production casing has a smaller outer diameter than an inner diameter of the first production casing. From the surface of the wellbore to the depth within the wellbore to which the second production casing extends, the inner diameter of the second production casing is expanded until an outer wall of the second production casing forms a gas-tight seal with an inner wall of the first production casing.

    Abstract: A system includes a subsurface safety valve and a lock tool. The subsurface safety valve is installed within the production tubing and has a main bore delineated by an inner circumferential surface of the subsurface safety valve and a lock profile machined into the inner circumferential surface of the subsurface safety valve. The lock tool is movably disposed around a conduit and has a locking dog configured to engage with the lock profile of the subsurface safety valve and a conduit seal made of a swellable elastomer. The conduit seal is activated by an activation fluid and has an expanded position and an unexpanded position.
