181 | DOWNHOLE SAFETY VALVE APPARATUS AND METHOD | EP05803107.1 | 2005-10-07 | EP1797279A2 | 2007-06-20 | BOLDING, Jeffrey, L.; SMITH, David, R. |
A safety valve (100) replaces an existing safety valve (102) in order to isolate a production zone from a tubing string when closed. Preferably the safety valve (100) includes a flow interruption device (106) displaced by an operating conduit extending from a surface location to the safety valve (100) through the inside of the production tubing. A by-pass conduit (150) allows communication from a surface location to the production zone through the safety valve (100) without affecting the operation of the safety valve (100). | ||||||
182 | METHOD OF STIMULATING LONG HORIZONTAL WELLS TO IMPROVE WELL PRODUCTIVITY | EP04779653.7 | 2004-07-30 | EP1704300A1 | 2006-09-27 | AL-MURAIKHI, Ahmed, J. |
This invention relates to the field of treating subterranean formations to increase production. The method of the current invention is particularly useful in hydrocarbon wells that are long, for example, in excess of one kilometer. The method providing increasing production from a primary wellbore by intersecting this wellbore with a secondary wellbore near to the hydrocarbon production zone such that acid treatment or other treatment can be directed to the intersection. | ||||||

184 | MODELING, SIMULATION AND COMPARISON OF MODELS FOR WORMHOLE FORMATION DURING MATRIX STIMULATION OF CARBONATES | EP03735495.8 | 2003-05-29 | EP1509674A1 | 2005-03-02 | PANGA, Mohan; BALAKOTAIAH, Vemuri; ZIAUDDIN, Murtaza |
A new averaged/continuum model is presented for simulation of wormhole formation during matrix stimulation of carbonates. The averaged model presented here takes into account the pore level physics by coupling the local pore scale phenomena to the macroscopic variables (Darcy velocity, pressure and reactant cup-mixing concentration) through the structure-property relationships (permeability-porosity, average pore size-porosity and interfacial area-porosity) and the dependence of the fluid-solid mass transfer coefficient and fluid phase dispersion coefficient on the evolving pore scale variables (average pore size, local Reynolds and Schmidt numbers).This model allows better predictions of the flow channeling so that the matrix treatment may be adjusted to promote wormhole formations. | ||||||
185 | METHOD FOR INCREASING PRODUCTION FROM A WELLBORE | EP03707764.1 | 2003-02-06 | EP1497530A1 | 2005-01-19 | PIA, Giancarlo, T. |
Method for recovering productivity of an existing well. First, an assembly is inserted into a wellbore, the assembly includes a tubular member (135) for transporting drilling fluid downhole and an under-reamer (125) disposed at the end of the tubular member. Next, the assembly is positioned near a zone of interest and drilling fluid (140) is pumped down the tubular member (135). The drilling fluid (140) is used to create an underbalanced condition where a hydrostatic pressure in the annulus (175) is below a zone of interest pressure. The under-reamer (125) is activated to enlarge the wellbore diameter and remove a layer of skin for a predetermined length. During the under-reaming operation, the hydrostatic pressure is maintained below the zone of interest pressure, thereby allowing wellbore fluid (145) to migrate up the annulus (175) and out of the wellbore. Upon completion, the under-reamer (125) is deactivated and the assembly is removed from the wellbore. | ||||||
186 | Downhole tool and method of fracturing a well formation | EP04252607.9 | 2004-05-05 | EP1489260A1 | 2004-12-22 | Surjaatmadja, Jim B. |
A downhole tool for fracturing a subterranean formation comprising a plurality of discharge jets or nozzles located in a spaced relation to a wall of the formation to form an annulus between the nozzles and the formation. An acid-containing, stimulation fluid is pumped at a predetermined pressure through the nozzles, into the annulus and against the wall of the formation. A gas is pumped into the annulus so that the stimulation fluid mixes with the gas to generate foam before the mixture is jetted towards the formation to impact the wall of the formation. The tool is adapted to bend, or tilt, so that the discharge jets can come in to proximity to the formation being fractured. |

The invention provides an apparatus and method for perforating and treating multiple intervals of one or more subterranean formations (86) intersected by a wellbore by deploying a bottom-hole assembly having a perforating device (134) and at least one sealing mechanism (120) within said wellbore. The perforating device (134) is used to perforate the first interval to be treated. Then the bottom-hole assembly is positioned within the wellbore such that the sealing mechanism (120), when actuated, establishes a hydraulic seal in the wellbore to positively force fluid to enter the perforations (230, 231) corresponding to the first interval to be treated. A treating fluid is then pumped down the wellbore and into the perforations (230, 231) created in the perforated interval. The sealing mechanism (120) is released, and the steps are then repeated for as many intervals as desired, without removing the bottom hole assembly from said wellbore. | ||||||

Zwischen einem mit einer Injektionspumpe verbundenen Rohrabschnitt (2) und einem Rohrendteil (4) ist ein Druckmessteil (3) angeordnet. Der Druckmessteil (3) ist mit einer Druckmessstelle (8) versehen, die durch eine im Innern eines Gehäuseteils (10) angeordnete Messkammer festgelegt ist. In dieser Messkammer liegt der druckbeaufschlagte Teil eines Druckmessumformers, der dem im Injektionsmedium herrschenden Druck entsprechende elektrische Signale erzeugt, die über ein Kabel (18) einer Signal-auswertestelle zugeführt werden. Die Messstelle (8) liegt nahe der Auslassöffnung (4a) des Rohrendteiles (4). Zwischen dieser Auslassöffnung (4a) und der Druckmessstelle (8) ist ein Packer (7) angeordnet, der den Ringraum (6) zwischen dem Rohrendteil (4) und der Wandung (1a) des Bohrloches (1) abdichtet. Da die Druckmessung im Innern der Zuleitung (2,14,4) für das Injektionsmedium erfolgt, wird ein unverfälschtes Messergebnis erhalten. Wegen der unmittelbaren Nähe der Messstelle (8) zur Injektionsstelle (5) ist der gemessene Druck im wesentlichen gleich dem Injektionsdruck an der Injektionsstelle (5). |
