A system calculates a difference in position and orientation between a first physical marker attached to an implant and a second physical marker attached to a calibration rig comprising a physical replica of an anatomical portion of a patient where the implant is to be placed. The system generates, for display using the AR device, a three-dimensional representation of medical imaging data overlaid on the anatomical portion of the patient. The system determines, based on the difference, a target virtual position and target orientation on the three-dimensional representation where the first physical marker of the implant should be guided to ensure the implant is placed in the anatomical portion. The system generates, for display using the AR device, a first virtual marker at the target virtual position in the target orientation.

A distributed monitoring and analytics system is configured to automatically monitor conditions in a remote oil field. The distributed monitoring and analytics system generally includes one or more mobile monitoring units that each includes a vehicle, a sensor package within the vehicle that is configured to produce one or more sensor outputs as the mobile monitoring unit traverses the remote oil field, and an onboard computer configured to process the output from the sensor package. The sensor package can include any number of sensors, including a camera that outputs a video signal for computer vision analysis and a gas detector that outputs a gas detection signal based on the detection of fugitive gas emissions within the remote oil field.

A collapsible packer for use in a well includes a deployment assembly, a retraction assembly and a sealing assembly extending between the deployment assembly and the retraction assembly. The deployment assembly may include a spring and a degradable stop configured to offset the force applied by the spring. The degradable stop can be manufactured from a material that dissolves when contacted by fluid in the well. The retraction assembly may by hydraulically or spring energized.

Self-cleaning packer system

A perforation blocking sleeve is provided for use in well restimulation, the perforation blocking sleeve having a first anchoring device and one or more expandable members secured to an outer surface of the perforation blocking sleeve. The first anchoring device may be used to secure the perforation blocking sleeve over a perforation cluster within a perforated well casing. The perforation blocking sleeve defines a flow channel and may be remotely and individually uncoupled from a running tool. The perforation blocking sleeve flow channel is sized such that the running tool and a running tool driver are retractable through the flow channel of the perforation blocking sleeve. In one or more embodiments, the perforation blocking sleeve contains an organic polymeric material which expands on contact with a production fluid or an exogenous fluid introduced into the well.

A well bore robot is configured to travel along an magnetic track element. The magnetic track element includes a plurality of track magnets. The well bore robot includes a robot body and at least one robot magnet. The robot magnet is disposed within the robot body and configured to magnetically and alternatingly engage and disengage with the track magnets. Alternating engagement and disengagement of the robot magnet with the track magnets conveys the well bore robot along the magnetic track element.

Electromagnetic well bore robot conveyance system

A downhole assembly is provided for use in well restimulation, the assembly having a plurality of perforation blocking sleeves each comprising an anchoring device; one or more expandable members secured to an external surface of each of the perforation blocking sleeves; a running tool for transporting the plurality of perforation blocking sleeves and expandable members within a perforated well casing; a running tool driver for moving the running tool, perforation blocking sleeves and expandable members within the well casing; and one or more sensors to detect perforation clusters within the well casing. The anchoring device is used to secure each sleeve over a perforation cluster within the well casing. Each perforation blocking sleeve defines a flow channel in fluid communication with the principal flow channel of the well casing. The running tool is remotely uncoupled from the blocking sleeves in sequence, and the running tool and the running tool driver are retractable through the flow channel of each the perforation blocking sleeves.
