    Abstract: An electronic valve is placed in line with a casing in a well. The electronic valve includes a housing having plural ports that are blocked; a valve configured to initiate unblocking of the plural ports to allow fluid communication between the bore of the housing and an outside of the housing; and a deformable seat device having a body placed inside of the bore of the housing. The deformable seat device is configured to have a given diameter D3 for at least one of first and second ends of the body when the plural ports are blocked, and a smaller diameter when the plural ports are unblocked.

    Abstract: A downhole tool for connecting an interior of a casing to a formation, the downhole tool including an inner housing extending along a longitudinal axis X; an outer housing that encloses the inner housing and forms first to fourth chambers; a first piston that separates the first and second chambers; a second piston that separates the third and fourth chambers; a port that is configured to fluidly communicate an outside and inside of the downhole tool; and a stopping mechanism that prevents the second piston from opening the port. The second piston is positioned to separate the port into an outer portion and an inner portion to interrupt a fluid communication between the outside and inside of the downhole tool.

    Abstract: A non-explosive punch system for making perforations in a casing includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis and configured to be deployed in a well; one or more punch elements configured to extend through a wall of the housing to perforate a casing of the well; an actuating device located within the housing and configured to actuate the one or more punch elements; and an energy supply device located within the housing and configured to use a pressure of a well fluid present in the casing, to actuate the actuating device. No explosive material is present in the punch system.

    Abstract: A fluid control system includes a fluid control device configured to be connected to at least one of two casing elements in a well, for controlling a fluid flow between a bore of the fluid control device and a zone located outside the casing elements; and a tracer material located within an inner chamber of a body of the fluid control device, the tracer material being uniquely associated with the fluid control device. The fluid control device is configured to release, when activated, the tracer material out of the inner chamber.

    Abstract: A centralizing device is configured to centralize/decentralize an associated tool in a well. The centralizing device includes a body that extends along a longitudinal axis X, the body having a bore that extends from one end to another end of the body; a first piston shaped as a cylinder and provided around a central portion of the body; a second piston shaped as a cylinder and provided around the central portion of the body; a bridge provided around the central portion of the body, between the first and second pistons; and a pair of arms, each arm being attached with one end to a corresponding one of the first and second pistons and with another end to each other. The second piston, the bridge, and the central portion of the body define a sealed chamber, which is sealed from the ambient.
