    摘要: A downhole double-acting positive displacement pump has a housing with a first end 1 and a second end, the housing having a pump inlet, a pump outlet arranged closer to the second end, a first chamber arranged in the housing and having a first outlet in fluid communication with the pump outlet, a first piston movable in the first chamber for pressing fluid out of the pump outlet, and a drive to reciprocate the first piston. The first piston divides the first chamber into a first and second chamber parts, the first chamber part having the first outlet and a first inlet, a first valve being arranged at the first outlet, a second valve being arranged in the first inlet. The second chamber part has a second outlet in fluid communication with the pump outlet and a second inlet, a third valve being arranged in the second outlet, and a fourth valve being arranged in the second inlet. The downhole pump further has a control unit for controlling an output of the drive into the movement of the first piston in the first direction or the second direction.

    摘要: A downhole tool for determining laterals in a borehole wall or a borehole casing, comprising a tool housing extending along a longitudinal axis and having a circumference perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a plurality of sonic transceivers. Each sonic transceiver transmitting sonic signals from the housing and receiving sonic signals reflected from the borehole wall or borehole casing in a predefined angular segment. The sonic transceivers are arranged along the circumference of the tool housing having a mutual distance and are capable of transmitting sonic signals radially away from the tool housing in an entire central angle of 360 degrees towards the borehole wall or borehole casing. During a pulse time, one sonic transceiver transmits a sonic signal in the predefined angular segment of that sonic transmitter, and one sonic transceiver, during a subsequent echo time, receives a reflected sonic signal from the borehole wall or borehole casing.

    摘要: A method for removal of at least part of a first well tubular metal structure in a borehole of an existing well having a top, the first well tubular metal structure having a longitudinal extension and a first end closest to the top. The method includes inserting a downhole wireline tool having an anchor section and a machining device in the first well tubular metal structure, positioning the downhole wireline tool opposite the first section of the first well tubular metal structure so that the machining device is positioned 8-12 metres from the first end of the first well tubular metal structure and the anchor section is arranged above the machining device, and anchoring the downhole wireline tool opposite the first section by activating the anchor section to abut an inner surface of the first well tubular metal structure.
