    摘要: The present invention relates to a downhole wireline machining tool string for increasing an inner diameter of a well tubular metal structure in a well. The downhole wireline machining tool string has a longitudinal axis and comprises a rotatable tool part comprising a machining tool having a first end part, a second end part, a diameter and a circumference, and a stationary tool part comprising a driving unit configured to rotate the rotatable tool part and powered through the wireline. The machining tool comprises a body having an outer face, and the machining tool further comprising a plurality of inserts, each insert having a length along the longitudinal axis, and the inserts projecting from the outer face of the body and being distributed around the circumference. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a machining tool for increasing an inner diameter of a well tubular metal structure in a well or cutting out a piece, e.g. in a downhole valve.

    摘要: A wireline tool for sampling/jetting fluid in a well includes a pump with an opening, and a chamber for collecting/jetting fluid, the chamber having first and second ends. The chamber includes first and second pistons dividing the chamber into first, second and third chamber sections. The first and second pistons are attached to respective piston rods, and the rods are supported by respective supports. A first spring is provided between the first piston and its support and another spring is provided between the second piston and its support. When the pump operates, the pistons are forced in one direction, hence activating spring forces of the springs and allowing fluid to flow from one chamber section to another chamber section.

    摘要: A wellbore surveillance system obtains fluid reservoir information data, such as the position and amount of gas, oil and/or water, while draining hydrocarbons from an oil or gas field via a casing in a wellbore in a formation. The casing has a vertical part near a top of the casing and an inner face, the system comprising a first sensor for measuring a content of gas, oil and/or water in the formation, and a second sensor for measuring a content of gas, oil and/or water in the formation.

    摘要: A downhole annular barrier with an axial extension having an outer surface facing an inner surface of an outer structure has a tubular part, an expandable part, and at least one annular sealing element. The annular sealing element is connected with the expandable part and has an axial length along the axial extension of the downhole annular barrier which is less than 50% of a length of the downhole annular barrier along the axial extension of the downhole annular barrier. The annular sealing element has a spring element.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a barrier testing method for testing a production casing in a borehole (4). The method is applied before initiating production in a well and comprises the steps of connecting a drill pipe (10) with a first end (20) of a first production casing having annular barriers (17), which annular barriers (17) comprise a tubular part forming part of the casing and an expandable sleeve circumferenting the tubular part, thereby defining an expandable space; inserting the drill pipe (10) and the first production casing (3) via a drill head (6) arranged at a top (7) of the well into an intermediate casing (11) extending in a first part (18) of the borehole (4) closest to the top of the well and at least part of the first production casing into a second part (19) of the borehole; sealing a second end (21) of the first production casing (3); pressurizing the first production casing (3) from within and expanding one or more of the expandable sleeves (22) of the annular barriers (17) to abut a wall of the borehole; pressurizing the first production casing (3) from within to a predetermined pressure; and testing the first production casing (3) after expansion by measuring if the predetermined pressure is kept constant during a predetermined time period. Furthermore, the invention relates to a completion system for oil production from a well and to an oil production facilitated by the method barrier testing method.
