    Abstract: Disclosed herein are wellbore packer assemblies and methods of use of these wellbore packer assemblies. The wellbore packer assemblies may include a protective material, a swellable material, and a tubular. The swellable material is disposed on the tubular, wherein the protective material is disposed on the swellable material and at least partially covering a portion of the swellable material. Methods of use of the wellbore packer assembly may include inserting into a wellbore the packer assembly, contacting the swellable material with a swelling fluid, swelling the swellable material to expand the protective material against a wellbore wall, and forming a seal between the protective material and the wellbore wall.

    Abstract: Provided is a sealing/anchoring element, a sealing/anchoring tool, a well system, and a method for sealing/anchoring within a wellbore. The sealing/anchoring element, in one aspect, includes a circlet having an inside surface having an inside diameter (di), an outside surface having an outside diameter (do), a width (w), and a wall thickness (t), the circlet having one or more geometric features that allow it to mechanically deform when moved from a radially reduced mechanical state to a radially enlarged mechanical state, the circlet comprising an expandable metal configured to expand in response to hydrolysis to chemically deform the circlet from a radially reduced chemical state to a radially enlarged chemical state.

    Abstract: Determining one or more of a fluid composition, a cement state, or a cement quality of a material located downhole a borehole by using a capacitive sensor or an inductive sensor. The sensors can be located on a pipe positioned downhole or within a swell packer. More than one sensor can be used, for example, as a set of sensor systems. The sensors can be of different sizes, utilize different frequencies, or be spaced unevenly to analyze different shaped areas and depths from the sensors. More than one set of sensors can be employed, such as axially or circumferentially spaced along the pipe or swell packer. The relative dielectric permittivity of the various downhole material can be used to determine when pumped cement has displaced the borehole fluid and when the cement has cured. The process can determine if a micro annulus or crack exists in the cement.

    Abstract: A shifting sleeve tieback seal system may include a body portion and a swellable material disposed about a circumference of the body portion. The swellable material is configured to expand in response to exposure to wellbore fluids. Further, the system may include an upper end ring disposed in a position axially above the swellable material, a lower end ring disposed in a position axially below the swellable material, and a sleeve disposed radially outward from the swellable material and sealed against the upper end ring and/or the lower end ring in a run-in position to isolate the swellable material from wellbore fluids. The sleeve is configured to contact a downhole feature in a setting position and contact with the downhole feature is configured to move the sleeve to expose the swellable material to wellbore fluids such that the swellable material expands to seal against a downhole tubular.

    Abstract: An expandable packer includes an activatable sealing element locatable in a borehole having a wall and activatable with a reactive fluid. The sealing element includes a swellable metal capable of reacting with the reactive fluid to form a swelled metal and a mechanical element separating the reactive fluid from the swellable metal and operable to cause the reactive fluid to contact the swellable metal such that swellable metal expands into sealing engagement with the wall. A method of forming a seal in a borehole comprising a wall includes locating an expandable packer comprising an activatable sealing element within the borehole, using a mechanical element of the activatable sealing element to cause a reactive fluid to contact a swellable metal, and expanding the swellable metal into sealing engagement with the wall by reacting the swellable metal with the reactive fluid.
