Latest Patents
Bert F. Scales holds a patent for a "System for selective re-entry to completed laterals." This invention is directed to a method for the entry of a tool from a cased wellbore into a lined and sealed completed lateral. The method includes measuring the distance from at least one apex of the ellipse formed by the intersection of the completed lateral and the wellbore to a fixed point in the wellbore. It also involves aligning a re-entry device from the fixed point to allow the tool to enter the lateral from the cased wellbore. The fixed point may be a keyway in a joint of the casing or a keyway in a packer positioned in the wellbore. The invention further includes an apparatus for measuring the distance from the fixed point, which consists of an inflatable packer with an outside memory-retention surface and a tail joint having a guide key that seats in the key slot.
