| 20100032167 | Method for Making Wellbore that Maintains a Minimum Drift - A well having a minimum drift between or among strings is provided using strings that have a recessed segment and a hanging segment. The length of the recessed segment in the lower end of the upper string is substantially longer than the hanging segment of the lower string that is passed through it. The hanging segments define the drift dimension. In the event the lower string gets stuck in the open hole before it is fully advanced, the hanging segment of the lower string may still be in the recess of the upper string so that the drift dimension can be preserved. Preferably the recess segment is the substantial length of the tubular string apart from its hanging segment near its top end. One or more laterals can be extended through the recessed segments while retaining the drift dimension. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100032168 | Method and Apparatus for Expanded Liner Extension Using Downhole then Uphole Expansion - An expansion and cementing assembly is run into the well as the expandable liner is made up. A work string is tagged into the expansion assembly and run to depth. Pressure drives the swage to initially expand and move uphole with the attached work string until the liner is expanded above the location of the subsequent cement placement. The assembly is then lowered to engage the guide/float shoe to perform the cementing step. The swage assembly is then released from the guide/float shoe and the balance of the expansion is performed without further expansion against the recently placed cement. The expansion assembly can start at the guide/float shoe or higher, in which case expansion can occur initially in a downhole direction and later be completed in an uphole direction. Variations without cementing are also contemplated. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100032169 | Method and Apparatus for Expanded Liner Extension Using Uphole Expansion - An expansion assembly is run into the well as the expandable liner is made up. A work string is tagged into the expansion assembly and run to depth. Pressure drives the swage to initially expand and move uphole with the attached work string until the liner is expanded to set at least one external packer. The balance of the expansion in the uphole direction is continued until the string is expanded into sealing support of a higher string in the wellbore and the variable swage comes out of the hole with the work string. A shoe is milled out and the process can be repeated. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100206566 | One Trip Cemented Expandable Monobore Liner System and Method - An apparatus to protect the mounting area of casing and a locating profile and optionally a sliding sleeve valve and a flow path from the outside of the valve to the annulus when subsequent attachment of an expanded liner is intended and the expanded liner is to be cemented in place. A barrier sleeve, nose, and outer sleeve define a sealed cavity having a loose incompressible material inside that covers the mounting location on the casing. A locating profile and an optional sliding sleeve valve and a flow path from the outside of the valve to the annulus can be provided. The cementing of the casing takes place through the barrier sleeve. After the cementing, the sleeve and nose are drilled out and the incompressible material is removed to the surface with the drill cuttings. A liner is inserted in the casing and is preferably expanded into sealing contact with the mounting location on the casing. After expansion a cement retainer positioned at the bottom of the expanded liner and the sliding sleeve located either above the mounting location of the liner in the casing shoe or in the liner below the mounted top section allow cement to be delivered outside the expanded liner and the displaced wellbore fluid to return into the casing through so that the liner can be cemented. The cement retainer can be delivered with either the liner or the expansion tools to allow expansion and cementing in a single trip. A shifting tool can be run on the expansion string to actuate the sliding sleeve and if necessary to allow for cement to be pumped from the drill string into the annulus through the sliding sleeve. The cement retainer can be milled out in a separate trip. | 08-19-2010 |
