Abstract:
A packer-anchoring device between an annular packer (1) and a body (2), wherein the annular packer (1) is provided, at least at one of its end portions, with an expandable end ring (14).
Abstract:
A method and a device for sealing a void (12) incompletely filled with a cast material (10), in which an expandable material (6) is placed in the void (12) which is to be filled with a cast material (10), the expandable material (6) expanding, when expanding after the cast material (10) has cured, into spaces (16) which are not filled with cast material (10).
Abstract:
A method and a device for placing a filter (1) in a well (3), wherein a band-shaped filter medium (2) is rounded into a tubular shape and run into the well (3).
Abstract:
An annular packer device (1), wherein the annular packer (1) is expandable in an annulus (6) between an inner body (8) and an outer boundary (12), and wherein the annular packer (1) is sealingly movable along at least one of the inner body (8) and the outer boundary (12).
Abstract:
A ring fastener device (1), in which the ring fastener (1) encircles a cylindrical body (4), and the cylindrical body (4) is provided with at least one recess (6) and the ring fastener (1) is provided with at least one protrusion (8) corresponding to the recess (6), the ring fastener (1) being arranged to be shrunk radially, so that the protrusion (8) engages the recess (6).
Abstract:
The invention refers to a device for sealing an annular space formed between an outer cylindrical element (4) having an end closure (16) and an inner pipe (1) extending within the outer element and having a free end. The invention incorporates a packer element (2) being slidably disposed around said pipe (1) , an actuation element (6) adapted for telescopic assembly around the outer surface of the pipe (1) and slidable from a first position to a second position, a conical ring (12) adapted for installation on the pipe (1) , where the actuation element (6) comprises an abutment element (10) designed for abutment against said packer (2) , and an actuation pipe (8) extending beyond the pipe (1) first end when the actuation element (6) is in said first position. The invention also refers to a method for sealing the annular space.
Abstract:
A device and a method for setting a casing (1) against a formation (8), wherein the casing (1) is run into a bore (6) in the formation (8), and wherein a packer (2) is run into an annulus (4) between the casing (1) and the formation (8).
Abstract:
Well tools utilizing swellable materials. Actuators for well tools may incorporate swellable materials as force generating devices. A well tool includes an actuator which actuates the well tool in response to contact between a swellable material and a well fluid. A method of actuating a well tool includes the steps of : installing a well tool including an actuator; contacting a swellable material of the actuator with a well fluid; and actuating the well tool in response to the contacting step. A well system includes a well tool with a flow control device and a swellable material. The well tool is operative to control flow through a passage of a tubular string in response to contact between the swellable material and well fluid.
Abstract:
A method and a device for solvent injection in a subsurface well (1) where the solvent flows towards the formation wall (4) of the subsurface well (19) via a releasable duct (8).
Abstract:
An arrangement for restricting the inflow of formation water from an underground formation to a hydrocarbon producing well, where, between the underground formation and a production tubing (38) located in the well, there is disposed at least one flow chamber (3, 33) connected to the production tubing (38), the flow chamber (3, 33), preferably via a filter (2) in one portion, being open to inflow of formation fluid and in communication with the production tubing (38) via at least one opening (7, 32), and where the flow chamber (3, 33) is provided with at least one free-floating body (4, 34) with approximately the same density as the formation water, the at least one body (4, 34) being designed by means of the closing of at least one opening (32) or choking, to reduce the inflow of formation water to the production tubing (38).
