121 | SEALING AND CONTROLLING OF FLUID PRESSURE IN AN ANNULAR FLUID PASSAGEWAY IN A WELLBORE RELATED PROCESS | EP16760825.6 | 2016-08-25 | EP3341559A1 | 2018-07-04 | BAKKER, Thomas Walburgis; VAN OG, Gerardus Godefridus Johannes; ROODENBURG, Joop |
In a method for sealing and controlling fluid pressure in an annular fluid passageway in a wellbore related process, use is made of an annular fluid passageway sealing device, which includes a chamber delimited by chamber end members each provided with an opening therein so that the drilling tubulars string passes through said chamber and said chamber end members. The lower chamber end member is exposed, at least partially, to wellbore related fluid pressure in the annular fluid passageway. The housing is provided with an inlet and an outlet in communication with said chamber. Use is made of a pump that circulates a high viscosity liquid. The inlet and the outlet are vertically offset from each other and the chamber is provided with one or more narrow annular gap defining members that are arranged between vertically spaced apart feed and discharge zones. The circulation of liquid and the narrow annular gap are such that shear of the high viscosity liquid is induced resulting in a pressure drop between the discharge zones such that high viscosity liquid pressure in the feed zone assists the lower chamber end member in absorbing the wellbore related fluid pressure. | ||||||

124 | REDRESSING METHOD AND REDRESSED COMPLETION SYSTEM | EP16728984.2 | 2016-06-15 | EP3310991A1 | 2018-04-25 | HAZEL, Paul |
A redressing method for arranging an inner production casing within an existing production casing in order to re-establish production of hydrocarbon-containing fluid in a well, comprises providing the inner production casing to having a substantially constant inner diameter, the inner production casing comprising spaced first and second annular barriers. Each annular barrier has a tubular metal part and an expandable metal sleeve surrounding the tubular metal part. Each barrier has an inner face facing the tubular metal part and an outer face facing an inner wall of the existing production casing. The inner production casing has an outer unexpanded diameter which is smaller than the first inner diameter of the existing production casing. The existing production casing is redressed by introducing the inner production casing into the existing production casing, arranging the first annular barrier on one side of the first inflow section and the second annular barrier on the other side of the inflow section, thereby isolating an inflow of fluid from the first inflow section, encapsulating the first inflow section of the existing production casing by expanding the expandable metal sleeves of the first annular barrier and the second annular barrier, thereby isolating the first inflow section. | ||||||

A technique facilitates pressure containment with a retrievable cement bushing. The retrievable cement bushing includes a body and an engagement lug that cooperates with a sleeve. The engagement lug is mounted on the body and is movable to a radially outward position for engagement with a corresponding portion of a surrounding wall, e.g an internal packer wall. The sleeve is sized to receive a slick joint therethrough and is secured to a radially inward position relative to the engagement lug via a retention member movably mounted on the sleeve, so as to hold the engagement lug in the radially outward position. The sleeve protects the slick joint from inwardly directed loading via the engagement lug when the retrievable cement bushing is subjected to differential pressures. | ||||||
