SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEALING A WELLBORE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035353 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEALING A WELLBORE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a plug for sealing a wellbore, which includes a mandrel, slip assembly, nose, and packer. The mandrel extends between an uphole end and a downhole end, with the slip assembly surrounding it. The nose is coupled to the downhole end of the mandrel and defines the downhole end of the plug. The packer extends around the mandrel and has two configurations - one that allows fluid flow across the plug and another that seals the wellbore.

  • The plug is designed to seal a wellbore and prevent fluid flow.
  • The slip assembly consists of multiple arcuate slip segments that help secure the plug in place.
  • The nose is attached to the downhole end of the mandrel and acts as the lower end of the plug.
  • The packer has two configurations - one that allows fluid flow and another that seals the wellbore.
  • The plug can be positioned in the wellbore to either permit fluid flow or seal the wellbore.

Potential Applications:

  • Oil and gas drilling operations
  • Wellbore completion and production processes
  • Geothermal energy extraction
  • Underground storage facilities

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a reliable and efficient method for sealing wellbores
  • Prevents fluid migration and leakage in wellbore operations
  • Ensures proper wellbore isolation during various stages of drilling and production

Benefits:

  • Improved wellbore integrity and safety
  • Enhanced control over fluid flow in wellbores
  • Reduces the risk of environmental contamination
  • Increases operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness


Original Abstract Submitted

a plug for sealing a wellbore includes a mandrel extending between an uphole end defining an uphole end of the plug, and a downhole end opposite the uphole end of the mandrel, a slip assembly extending around the mandrel and including a plurality of arcuate slip segments, a nose coupled to the downhole end of the mandrel and defining a downhole end of the plug, wherein the nose includes an uphole end coupled to the downhole end of the mandrel and a downhole end opposite the uphole end of the nose and defining a downhole end of the plug, and a packer extending around the mandrel and including a first configuration configured to permit fluid flow across the plug when the plug is received in the wellbore, and a second configuration configured to seal the wellbore when the plug is positioned in the wellbore.
