摘要: Lateral access control in downhole window joint is provided via a window joint. The window joint includes an interior cavity with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, a first opening defined at the first end, and a lateral opening through a wall of the window joint and into the interior cavity between the first end and the second end. The window joint also includes a deflector where, in a first state, the deflector permits access between the first end and the second end and, in a second state, the deflector blocks access between the first end and the second end and permits access between the first end and the lateral opening by deflecting an object travelling through the lateral opening. The window joint also includes an access control system configured to transition the deflector between the first state and the second state.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for automated closed-loop control of drilling trajectory during directional drilling, which define target inclinations and/or target azimuths for a sequence of automated control loops performed over distances of measured depth during directional drilling, wherein the sequence of automated control loops transition from drilling a curve or bend in a wellbore to drilling a horizontal or lateral section or tangent section of the wellbore. In embodiments, the sequence of automated control loops can be configured to incrementally change dog leg severity of the wellbore in a pre-defined manner with the final dog leg severity being at or near zero.

摘要: A bottom hole assembly (BHA) includes a whipstock having a latch release mechanism and a milling tool having a plurality of blades and a lock mechanism. The BHA also includes a collar coupled to the whipstock and disposed about a portion of the milling tool, wherein the blades of the milling tool abut the collar. The milling tool is releasably coupled to the whipstock by the interaction of the latch release mechanism and the lock mechanism.

摘要: Various apparatus, a wellbore string incorporating the apparatus, and a computer-implemented method are described, whereby in various examples at least one flexible elongate member is guided from a wellbore string toward a wall of the wellbore for forming at least one lateral bore in a subsurface rock formation for stimulating the formation. The apparatus in such examples has at least one controllable body which is controllable, based upon a detected downhole configuration of the controllable body and/or the wellbore string, to be positioned with respect to the wellbore string for providing at least one exit through which the flexible elongate member is extractable from the wellbore string for extracting the flexible elongate member through the exit in a desired and/or preferred direction.

摘要: An annular pressure activated downhole tool has a housing including an outer surface, an inner surface defining a passage, an annular projection projecting into the passage from the inner surface, and an opening. A mandrel extends into the passage. The mandrel has a first end and a second end. A power spring support is detachably connected to the second end of the mandrel in the passage. A power spring is arranged about the mandrel and extends between the power spring support and the annular projection. A trigger housing is arranged in one of the mandrel and the power spring support. A trigger arranged in the trigger housing selectively engages with the inner surface. The trigger is operable to disengage from the inner surface of the housing, releasing the power spring, and shifting the mandrel along the passage when exposed to a selected annular pressure.

摘要: A wellbore assembly to plug and abandon a wellbore below a setting depth includes a whipstock assembly configured to drill a lateral wellbore from a primary wellbore formed in a subterranean zone. The wellbore assembly includes a tool assembly connected to the whipstock assembly. The tool assembly is configured to be lowered into the primary wellbore during the same trip as the whipstock assembly. The tool assembly is configured to perform wellbore operations downhole of a casing window from which the whipstock assembly is configured to drill the lateral wellbore before the whipstock assembly drills the lateral wellbore.
