Embodiments of a debris catcher and a debris catching system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a debris catching system comprises a plug and a debris catcher, the debris catcher including at least a debris catching sleeve, a running tool coupled to the debris catching sleeve, the running tool including an uphole end and a downhole end, and further wherein the uphole end of the running tool is configured to slide to engage a downhole end of the debris catching sleeve and form a collection base of the debris catcher; and a coupling rod attached to the uphole end of the running tool, the coupling rod configured to engage a downhole setting device; wherein the plug is removably coupled with the downhole end of the running tool during downhole deployment of the debris catching system.

Integrated debris catcher and plug system

A flow control assembly includes a cylindrical body defining an interior and one or more openings through a wall of the body, and a composite choke assembly positioned within the body. The composite choke assembly includes an inner sleeve made of a first material and defining choke orifices that coincide with the openings, and an outer sleeve sized to receive the inner sleeve within the outer sleeve and being made of a second material that is more ductile than the first material. The outer sleeve defines sleeve orifices alignable with the choke orifices to facilitate fluid communication through the composite choke assembly. A flow control device is movably disposed within the body between a fully open position, where the choke orifices and the sleeve orifices are exposed, and a fully closed position, where the choke orifices and the sleeve orifices are occluded by the flow control device.

Downhole flow control assemblies and methods of use

A flow control assembly includes a cylindrical body that defines an interior and openings provided through a wall of the body. An inner sleeve is positioned within the interior of the body and defines recessed pockets on an outer radial surface that coincide with the openings, and sleeve orifices are defined in the inner sleeve at each recessed pocket. A cartridge choke assembly is received within each opening and operatively coupled to the inner sleeve at one of the recessed pocket. The cartridge choke assembly includes a choking module that defines choke orifices alignable with the sleeve orifices. A flow control device is movably disposed within the body between a fully open position, where the one or more sleeve orifices are exposed, and a fully closed position, where the one or more sleeve orifices are occluded.
