A sealing system for a flow channel includes a mandrel, a swellable element disposed about the mandrel, and a degradable polymeric element disposed on a surface of the swellable element and configured to delay swelling of the swellable element. The degradable polymeric element comprises one or more of the following: polyurethane; cured cyanate ester; an epoxy; polyimide; unsaturated polyester; or nylon.

Packers having controlled swelling and methods of manufacturing thereof

A mechanically-set packer system for use in a wellbore environment may include a mandrel having an interior and an exterior. The system may further include a packing element positioned along the exterior of the mandrel. The system may also include a line positioned between the exterior of the mandrel and an interior of the packing element.

This invention relates generally to uses of novel nanomaterial composition and the systems in which they are used, and more particularly to nanomaterial compositions generally comprising carbon and a metal, which composition can be exposed to pulsed emissions to react, activate, combine, or sinter the nanomaterial composition. The nanomaterial compositions can alternatively be utilized at ambient temperature or under other means to cause such reaction, activation, combination, or sintering to occur.

Electrical, plating and catalytic uses of metal nanomaterial compositions

A composite particle comprises a core, a shielding layer deposited on the core, and further comprises an interlayer region formed at an interface of the shielding layer and the core, the interlayer region having a reactivity less than that of the core, and the shielding layer having a reactivity less than that of the interlayer region, a metallic layer not identical to the shielding layer and deposited on the shielding layer, the metallic layer having a reactivity less than that of the core, and optionally, an adhesion metal layer deposited on the metallic layer, wherein the composite particles have a corrosion rate of about 0.1 to about 450 mg/cm/hour using an aqueous 3 wt % KCl solution at 200&#xb0; F. An article comprises composite particles, wherein has a corrosion rates of about 0.1 to about 450 mg/cm/hour using an aqueous 3 wt % KCl solution at 200&#xb0; F.

In one aspect, a degradable apparatus is disclosed, including: an inner core with a first degradation rate in a downhole environment; an outer sheath disposed around an outer extent of the inner core with a second degradation rate less than the first degradation rate in the downhole environment. In another aspect, a method of temporarily sealing a downhole zone is disclosed, including: providing an inner core with a first degradation rate in a downhole environment; providing an outer sheath disposed around an outer extent of the inner core with a second degradation rate less than the first degradation rate in the downhole environment; sealing the downhole zone with the outer sheath; exposing the outer sheath to the downhole environment; and exposing the inner core to the downhole environment.
