A separable tool including a mill section, a mill face disposed on the mill section and having a bore therethrough that is offset from a longitudinal axis of the mill section, a tool adapter section, and a release configuration releasably securing the mill section to the tool adapter section with the mill face disposed between the mill section and the tool adapter section. A method for operating a wellbore system including in a single run, setting a plug in the wellbore system, releasing the plug, pumping cement, dressing the cement, and testing the cement.

Separable tool with mill face, method and system

An object carrier including a housing having a bore with a diametrically larger portion and a diametrically smaller portion, an object keeper having a first and a second end, the first end being initially disposed in the diametrically smaller portion, an actuator assembly configured to move the first end of the object keeper from the diametrically smaller portion to the diametrically larger portion responsive to selected application of pressure, and an object disposed within the object keeper and secured within the object keeper while the first end of the object keeper is in the diametrically smaller portion, the object being released from the object keeper upon the first end of the object keeper moving to the diametrically larger portion. A method for managing an object-based operation downhole of a restriction including pressuring up on the object carrier, withdrawing the first end from the diametrically smaller portion, and releasing the object.

Object carrier, tool, method, and system

The detection of a barrier behind a wellbore casing involves the injection of a fluid into the wellbore casing or the pumping of a fluid from the wellbore casing, and the monitoring in real-time of the fluid properties in two downhole fluid volumes separated by a packer. A detection system utilizes a pipe string equipped with a telemetry that is capable of transmitting fluid property data to a surface monitor while the pipe string remains in the wellbore casing, and preferably while the packer remains set against the wellbore casing.

Detection of a barrier behind a wellbore casing

A casing mill including a first milling configuration having a first blade for milling a first casing section, and a second milling configuration having a second blade, the second blade being an ultra-high expansion blade for milling a second casing section. A wellbore system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, two nested casings disposed within the borehole, a string disposed within the casings, a casing mill disposed within or as a part of the string and including a first milling configuration having a first blade for milling a first casing section, and a second milling configuration having a second blade, the second blade being an ultra-high expansion blade for milling a second casing section, the second casing section being radially outwardly disposed of the first casing section, and a stroking tool disposed between the first milling configuration and the second milling configuration.

Casing mill, method, and system

A single-trip cut and pull system for a wellbore including a cutter, a power section, and an anchor selectively actuable independently of the power section; a method for cutting and pulling casing in a single run including running a cut and pull system on a string to a target depth, rotating a cutter of the cut and pull system to cut a casing section, and actuating an anchor of the cut and pull system after cutting the casing section; and a method for cutting and pulling casing in a single run including running a cut and pull system on a string to a target depth, rotating a cutter of the cut and pull system by rotating the string to cut a casing section, and pulling the cut casing in the single run.
