A woven sleeve includes a tubular member that includes circumferentially oriented fibers and axially oriented fibers. The tubular member is configured to adjust between a relaxed state in which the tubular member is positioned around a well tool and an extended state in which the tubular member is in tight contact with an outer surface of the well tool across substantially an entire inner surface of the tubular member to limit an extent to which the well tool can expand radially outward.

Woven sleeves and related methods of constraining a well tool

An assembly and a method for entering a lateral branch of a main wellbore through a lateral window with an assembly are described. The assembly includes an arm coupled to a body. The arm positions the body to enter the lateral branch. The assembly includes an actuator to actuate the arm relative to the body. The assembly includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor senses a condition of the arm and transmit the condition of the arm to the controller. The second sensor senses when the assembly is located in the main wellbore or the lateral branch transmits the location to the controller. Responsive to either the first signal or the second signal, the controller actuates the arm relative to the body to position the body to enter the lateral window and determines when the assembly has entered the lateral branch.

Entering a lateral branch of a wellbore with an assembly

A system includes a surface sub-system and a downhole sub-system. The surface subsystem includes a pump and a surface valve sub-assembly. The pump is configured to pump a fluid from a container, downhole into a wellbore. The surface valve sub-assembly is fluidically coupled to the pump and configured to receive a first portion of the fluid pumped by the pump. The surface valve sub-assembly includes a dump valve, a surface controller, and a return line. The surface controller is configured to adjust fluid flow through the dump valve, and the return line is configured to flow fluid from the dump valve to the container. The downhole sub-system includes a turbine-generator and a downhole controller coupled to the turbine-generator. The turbine-generator is configured to generate an output in response to receiving a second portion of the fluid pumped by the pump.

Downhole wireless communication

A well tool includes a deformable liner configured to be positioned within a wellbore. The deformable liner is configured to be deformed radially. The well tool includes a first inflatable packer configured to be positioned within the deformable liner. The first inflatable packer is configured to be inflated while positioned within the deformable liner to deform the deformable liner radially. The well tool includes a second inflatable packer configured to be positioned around the deformable liner. The second inflatable packer is configured to be inflated to an inner wall of the wellbore.

Liner installation with inflatable packer

An example system for a well includes a tubing string including spoolable, flexible, coiled tubing to transport fluids within the well; a packer associated with the tubing string to provide an annular seal to a section of a wellbore of the well; a power generator associated with the tubing string to generate power for the system based on fluid flow within the well; a wireless communication device associated with the tubing string to exchange information with one or more components of the system; one or more sensors associated with the tubing string to sense one or more environmental conditions in the well; one or more processing devices associated with the tubing string to generate at least some of the information based on the one or more environmental conditions; and one or more inflow control valves to control a rate of fluid flow into the system.

Well completion system

A system and methods of its use are described. The system includes a well tool configured to be positioned within a wellbore. The system includes a sleeve defining an inner volume. The sleeve is configured to secure at least a portion of the well tool within the inner volume while the well tool is positioned within the wellbore. The system includes a hollow member positioned within the inner volume and coupled to the well tool. The system includes a rod positioned within the inner volume and coupled to the sleeve. The rod passes through the hollow member to couple to the sleeve. The rod is configured to move the sleeve relative to the well tool in response to a pressure applied on the rod. The hollow member defines a seat configured to receive the rod to restrict movement of the sleeve relative to the well tool.
