Title: Alasdair Tait and His Well-Completion Invention.
Introduction
Alasdair Tait is an inventor associated with Aberdeen, Great Britain, and Schlumberger Technology Corporation. His patent work addresses well-completion technology, including a system designed to temporarily plug a well string while controlling pressure changes.
Latest Patents
Tait is credited with 1 patent: “On Demand Low Shock Ball Seat System and Method.” The invention describes a ball seat assembly that can temporarily plug a well string and be actuated on demand. A specific pattern of pressure changes shifts the ball seat mechanism into a ball-release position, and the mechanism remains inactive until that pattern is completed. The design can release the ball at a low-pressure point in the sequence, helping avoid pressure surges within the well string.
Career Highlights
Tait’s listed patent reflects work on controlled actuation and pressure management in well systems. His association with Schlumberger Technology Corporation connects his invention to the company’s work in energy technology.
Collaborations
Stephen Lewis and George Telfer are identified as Tait’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in developing or patenting the ball seat system.
Conclusion
Alasdair Tait’s patent presents an on-demand ball seat system designed to enable temporary well-string plugging while reducing the risk of pressure surges.
