ISOLATING A SECTION OF A WELLBORE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945805 titled 'ISOLATING A SECTION OF A WELLBORE
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves deploying a cementing assembly within a wellbore, setting the assembly at a target zone by using packers, flowing cement through the assembly to an annulus at the target zone, and setting a second packer uphole of the target zone.
- Deploying a cementing assembly within a wellbore
- Setting the cementing assembly at a target zone using packers
- Flowing cement through the assembly to an annulus at the target zone
- Setting a second packer uphole of the target zone

Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes deploying a cementing assembly within a wellbore that is at least partially open hole. The method also includes setting the cementing assembly at a target zone of the wellbore by setting a first packer of the cementing assembly downhole of the target zone. The method also includes flowing, through the wellbore string and through the cementing assembly, cement to an annulus at the target zone. The annulus is defined between an exterior surface of the cementing assembly and a wall of the wellbore. The method also includes setting, with the wellbore string, a second packer of the cementing assembly. The second packer is disposed uphole of the first packer and uphole of the target zone.
