| 20080308274 | Lower Completion Module - A technique that is usable with a well includes installing a lower completion module as a unit in the well. The lower completion module includes a flow control mechanism, an annular packer, a sand screen and a flow monitoring device. Either a single unit or a plurality of the units may be installed in the well for zonal isolation and control. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090033176 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LONG TERM POWER IN WELL APPLICATIONS - A technique is provided by which energy is physically/mechanically transmitted down through a wellbore. The transmitted energy is directed downhole along a fluid channel and impinges on an energy converter positioned in the wellbore or at another subterranean location. The energy converter converts the physical energy into electrical energy that can be supplied to a downhole device. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090158837 | APPARATUS AND METHODS TO PEFORM DOWNHOLE MEASUREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION EVALUATION - A system for testing a subterranean formation penetrated by a well includes a downhole tool configured to be coupled to a work string that includes a tool body having a longitudinal bore for circulating a fluid and at least one aperture configured to receive at least one module. The system further includes a plurality of modules that are each configured to engage the at least one aperture and at least one cavity configured for receiving a probe, and a plurality of probes that each include at least one orifice configured for testing the formation, wherein a first of the plurality of probes has a first configuration and a second of the plurality of probes has a second configuration. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090166045 | HARVESTING VIBRATION FOR DOWNHOLE POWER GENERATION - A system that is usable with a subterranean well includes a winding, a member and a circuit. The winding is located downhole in the well, and the member moves relative to the winding in response to vibration occurring in the well to cause a signal to be generated on the winding. The circuit is coupled to the winding to respond to the signal to provide power to operate a component located downhole in the well. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100139930 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SEAL USING A SWELLABLE MATERIAL - The invention is a sealing system, such as a packer, that is used in a wellbore to seal against an exterior surface, such as a casing or open wellbore. The sealing system includes a swellable material that swells from an unexpanded state to an expanded state thereby creating a seal when the swellable material comes into contact with a triggering fluid. | 06-10-2010 |
