20220074279 | METHOD TO LONGITUDINALLY AND CIRCUMFERENTIAL CUT OUT AND REMOVE A SECTION OF A WELLBORE TUBULAR - A plug and abandonment wellbore intervention technology to longitudinal and circumferential cut a wellbore tubular in the same wellbore intervention, followed by dropping the cut sections into the wellbore below the location of the lower circumferential cut, so that access to an external tubular is possible for e.g. cement bond logging, placement of barrier material, removal of external tubular, etc. | 2022-03-10 |
20220074280 | ROTATING CONTROL DEVICE SYSTEM - A rotating control device (RCD) system includes a housing having a bore, a seal element positioned within the housing, a piston assembly supported within the housing and configured to drive the seal element to seal the bore, and a bearing assembly supported within the housing and configured to enable the seal element to rotate relative to the housing. The bearing assembly includes a first bearing section positioned between the housing and the seal element and a second bearing section positioned between a piston of the piston assembly and the seal element. The piston assembly is configured to selectively actuate the seal element into a first configuration, where the seal element extends into the bore and seals with a tubular therein, and a second configuration, where the seal element extends entirely through the bore and seals the bore without a tubular extending therein. | 2022-03-10 |
20220074281 | WIPER PLUG SYSTEM WITH ANTI-ROTATION FEATURE - A sub having an anti-rotation feature for a resource exploration and recovery system includes a tubular having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a flow bore. A sleeve is slideably disposed in the flow bore between a first position and a second position. The sleeve includes an inner surface portion having a taper. A dart including an end portion is disposed in the sleeve. The dart is configured to shift the sleeve between the first position and the second position when exposed to a selected pressure in the flowbore. The end portion includes a tapered section. The tapered section mating with the taper formed in the inner surface to rotatably lock the plug to the inner surface of the sleeve. | 2022-03-10 |
20220074282 | WATERFLOOD COMPLETION SYSTEM AND ASSEMBLY - A waterflood completion system usable in a well includes a mandrel disposed on a tubing string deployable down a borehole. The mandrel has a side pocket with one or more ports for communicating the tubing string with an annulus of the borehole A waterflood regulator arrangement is connected to the mandrel and has at least one screen directly included therein spaced from the mandrel and lying adjacent the tubing string. | 2022-03-10 |
