| 20080251260 | STABILIZING A FLOW ALONG A WELLBORE - A system that is usable with a well includes a closed loop network that is located entirely downhole in the well. The system also includes valves that are located in a wellbore of the well and are interconnected by the closed loop network. Each valve is associated with a different isolated region of the wellbore and is adapted to regulate a flow through the valve based at least in part on a flow condition of the isolated region associated with the valve and a flow condition of each of the other isolated regions. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080289812 | SYSTEM FOR DOWNHOLE PACKING - An apparatus and method of forming a barrier to fluid flow behind a liner are provided. In one embodiment of the invention, a method includes the steps of conveying a tool to a position within a wellbore having a liner, the tool carrying a seal material, and injecting the seal material from the tool through the liner to form a barrier to fluid flow behind the liner. In another embodiment of the invention, the apparatus includes a housing having a chamber carrying a seal material, and a means for injecting the seal material through the wellbore liner. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090159279 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPLETING MULTI-ZONE OPENHOLE FORMATIONS - Methods and systems for completing multi-zone formations. One or more embodiments of the method can include placing a gravel pack assembly within a borehole. The gravel pack assembly can include a first sand control extension. A first sand control screen can be disposed adjacent the first sand control extension. The first sand control extension can have a flowpath that is selectively opened and closed. A first isolation packer can be disposed adjacent the first sand control screen. A second isolation packer can be disposed adjacent the first isolation packer. A second sand control extension can be disposed adjacent the second isolation packer. The second sand control extension can include at least a second flowpath that is selectively opened and closed. A second sand control screen can be disposed adjacent the second sand control extension. A lower seal can be disposed adjacent the second sand control screen. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090159298 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPLETING A WELL WITH FLUID TIGHT LOWER COMPLETION - Disclosed herein is a methods and systems for completing a well with fluid—gas and liquid—tight lower completion and an apparatus for doing the same which includes a packer located downhole of a formation isolation well control barrier device and a formation isolation device located downhole of a sand control device. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090211769 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SETTING ONE OR MORE PACKERS IN A WELL BORE - Apparatus and methods for setting one or more packers in a well bore are provided. The illustrated examples allow for setting of a plurality of downhole packers in a short period of time and without using a wash string, wash cups, or other setting tool that is subject to mechanical failure. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100294512 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR INSTALLING LATERAL WELLS - Methods and apparatuses for installing lateral wells in an underground formation are provided. The methods and apparatuses allow for efficiency in a milling and installation process for the lateral well. | 11-25-2010 |
