Abstract: A system for successively uncovering a plurality of contiguous ports in a tubing liner within a wellbore, or for successively uncovering individual groups of ports arranged at different but adjacent locations along the liner, to allow successive fracking of the wellbore at such locations. Sliding sleeves in the tubing liner are provided, having a circumferential groove therein, which are successively moved from a closed position covering a respective port to an open position uncovering such port by an actuation member placed in the bore of the tubing liner. Each actuation member comprises a dissolvable plug which in one embodiment is retained by shear pins at an uphole end of a collet sleeve, the latter having radially-outwardly biased protuberances (fingers) which matingly engage sliding sleeves having cylindrical grooves therein, based on the width of the protuberance. In one embodiment, when actuating the most downhole sleeve, the shear pin shears allowing the plug to move in the collet sleeve and prevent the protuberance (fingers) from disengaging.

Abstract: A method of cementing a wellbore includes injecting into the wellbore a non-aqueous fluid; injecting into the wellbore a cement slurry and a non-ionic surfactant composition after injecting the non-aqueous fluid; and allowing the cement slurry to set, wherein the non-ionic surfactant composition comprises an alkyl end-capped ethoxylated fatty alcohol, a chain extended non-ionic surfactant, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for removing and replacing a first sealant in a subterranean well include a running sub located at an end of a running string. A helical guide port extends through the running sub. A port exit of the guide port is at a downhole end of the guide port and extends through a sidewall of the running sub. An inner assembly is extendable through the guide port. A head assembly is located at a drilling end of the inner assembly. The head assembly is sized to pass through the port exit and is oriented to drill a helical path within the first sealant radially exterior of the inner casing and form a void.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for reverse circulation cementing a tubular string in a wellbore. One such method includes reverse circulating cement slurry down an annulus defined between the tubular string and the wellbore. During the reverse circulation, a flow control device located in the tubular string is closed to prevent, or at least reduce, flow of the cement slurry from the annulus into the tubular string. The closure of the flow control device causes a pressure pulse in the wellbore. After the flow control device is closed, the reverse circulation is stopped. During a time interval between the closure of the flow control device and the stoppage of the reverse circulation, a shock absorber associated with the flow control device absorbs the pressure pulse in the wellbore so that a pressure in the wellbore is maintained within an acceptable range.

Abstract: An inner tube plug for plugging a diamond drill hole. The plug assembly comprises a compressible plunger component attached to one end of a body component, plug feet radially disposed around the body component, and a torsion spring disposed between pairs of adjacent plug feet. The inner tube plug is used to perform down-hole orientation correction of a drill bole, zone bypassing, and completion of a drill hole.

Abstract: Capsules with a cement additive covered by a polymeric outer shell are added to wellbore cement. The additive is released from the shells by osmosis or shell ruptures. Capillary forces draw the additive into micro-annuli or cracks present in the cement, where the additive seals the micro-annuli and cracks to define a self-sealing material. The empty shells remain in the cement and act as an additive that modifies cement elasticity. The capsules are formed by combining immiscible liquids, where one of the liquids contains a signaling substance, and each of the liquids contains a reagent. When combined, the liquids segregate into a dispersed phase and a continuous phase, with the dispersed phase having the signaling agent. The reagents react at interfaces between dispersed and continuous phases and form polymer layers encapsulating the signaling agent to form the capsules. Adjusting relative concentrations of the reagents varies membrane strength and permeability.

Abstract: Before, during, and after a wellbore cementing operation temperature, pressure, and other conditions of a cement slurry are monitored downhole. The monitored conditions are compared to theoretical or calculated conditions to confirm the cementing operation is carried out in downhole conditions as planned. When differences between the monitored conditions and those used in planning the cementing operation exceed an acceptable range, adjustments are made to the cementing operation to account for the differences. The adjustments include changing a composition of the cement slurry to increase its design temperature, wellbore intervention if monitored pressure reveals a backflow of cement, and proceeding with another cementing stage if the monitored conditions indicate the cement slurry has cured into a set cement.
