摘要:
This invention provides a method for controlling production operations using fiber optic devices. An optical fiber carrying fiber-optic sensors is deployed downhole to provide information about downhole conditions. Parameters related to the chemicals being used for surface treatments are measured in real time and on-line, and these measured parameters are used to control the dosage of chemicals into the surface treatment system. The information is also used to control downhole devices that may be a packer, choke, sliding sleeve, perforating device, flow control valve, completion device, an anchor or any other device. Provision is also made for control of secondary recovery operations online using the downhole sensors to monitor the reservoir conditions. The present invention also provides a method of generating motive power in a wellbore utilizing optical energy. This can be done directly or indirectly, e.g., by first producing electrical energy that is then converted to another form of energy.

The invention relates to valves usable downhole and controlled from the surface hydraulically via control lines or by other techniques. The valve has a minimum flow passage which is preferably oriented along its longitudinal axis and a lateral flow passage which opens upon movement of a valve member via applied control pressure from the surface. Alternatively, the valve comprises a tapered needle movable in a throat. When the valve member shifts, additional flow area is exposed to control the backpressure of a fluid by way of hydraulic pressure control from the surface via the control line. The hydraulic control can be with a single control line acting on a piston attached to the valve member with a return spring opposing such movement, or alternatively, can be carried out with a pair of control lines to actuate reverse movements of the valve member. A pressurized gas chamber can be used to act as the closing force opposing applied pressure from the control line for a return of the valve to its minimum flow or maximum throttle position. Alternatively, an acoustic, electric or other type of surface-directed signal can change the valve position.

A high load wireline lock features a plurality of dogs supported by a fishing neck. Radial loads, transmitted through the dogs when the lock is engaged, are in turn directed into the fishing neck in the manner so as to distribute the load into the wall of the fishing neck. The contact between the dogs and the fishing neck is along sloping surface which minimize the radial forces against the fishing neck and in turn applies forces in a near tangential direction through the wall of the fishing neck thus greatly increasing the load capacity of the wireline lock.

摘要:
A check valve for gas lift applications can be attached externally to a side pocket mandrel or can be a gas lift valve used in the mandrel. The valve has a seat with a non-elastomeric element and a metal element. A biasing element resiliently biases the non-elastomeric element to provide resiliency to the seal produced. A metal dart moves in the bore relative to the seat and allows or prevents flow through the valve body. When exposed to a first differential pressure, the dart engages the non-elastomeric element resiliently biased by the biasing element. When exposed to a greater differential pressure, the dart engages the metal element, which can be part of the valve in the bore. In one arrangement, the non-elastomeric element can be a thermoplatistic component with a metal spring energized seal as the biasing element. Alternatively, the non-elastomeric element can be the jacket of metal spring energized seal with a coil spring as the biasing element.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for preventing erosion of a cable for use in a wellbore is described herein. The cable has one or more optical fibers adapted to monitor and/or control a condition in the wellbore. The cable includes a layer of elastomeric material at least partially located on an outer surface of the cable. The elastomeric material is adapted to absorb energy due to the impact of particles in production fluid or wellbore fluid against the cable.
