IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming expandable downhole tubing which includes steps of: providing a tubing section of a first diameter; forming apertures in the tubing section; and reducing the first diameter of the apertured tubing section to a second diameter which is smaller than the first, whereby a cross-sectional area of the tubing section is reduced.

Title: Anchoring device for a wellbore tool
Inventor: ANGMAN PER G
IPC: E21B7/00
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: A self anchoring tool is disclosed that can be positioned downhole and used in casing.   The tool has an architecture that supports installation by running downhole and into engagement with a groove formed in the casing, called the profile nipple. The tool readily supports use of weak materials such as plastic, for components of the tool that must be drilled to reopen the wellbore after cementing. As such, no restriction is needed in the casing for accepting or latching the tool and the portion of casing including the groove can be installed at the start of the drilling operation. In addition, the profile nipple can be used to engage other drilling tools and, therefore, can already be in place when the final well depth (TD) is reached.

Inventor: MILLIKIN RHONDA L
IPC: G01S7/52

Abstract: An object producing an acoustic wave is located and identified by passive detection of the acoustic wave. The acoustic wave is detected by different sensors (104) in an array (102) having a plurality of passive acoustic detectors (104). The sensors (104) produce signals in response to detection of the acoustic wave. A wavelet derived from an acoustic wave of a known form with which each of the at least three signals correlates is determined. Time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements between the at least three signals using correlation intensity with the wavelet is used to perform acoustic reciprocity from each of the different detectors. The result of the acoustic reciprocity is a hemisphere centered around each of the different sensors (104). The hemispheres produced by the acoustic reciprocity are examined to determine an intersection point of at least three hemispheres. The size of t he hemispheres is increased according to the velocity of the acoustic wave and pre-determined intervals until an intersection point is found. The intersection point represents the location of the object.
