Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus of locking out a subsurface safety valve (SSV) in a hydrocarbon wellbore. A lockout (100) tool is provided that is dimensioned to be received within the housing of the safety valve (50). The lockout tool generally comprises an elongated housing (120), and an expander mandrel (170) slidably received within the housing. Together, the housing and expander mandrel are run into the wellbore and landed into the housing (52) of the SSV such that the end of the expander mandrel opens the flapper valve. A portion of the lockout tool housing shoulders against the flow tube (54) in the SSV to drive the flow tube downward, thereby maintaining the flapper of the SSV in its open position. As the expander mandrel moves downward through the hard seat (58) of the SSV, the mandrel engages the flow tube and expands it against the hard seat. In this manner, the flow tube is expanded into permanent, frictional engagement with the hard seat. This, in turn, locks the flapper member (60) of the SSV in its open position.

Abstract: Method for recovering productivity of an existing well. First, an assembly is inserted into a wellbore, the assembly includes a tubular member (135) for transporting drilling fluid downhole and an under-reamer (125) disposed at the end of the tubular member. Next, the assembly is positioned near a zone of interest and drilling fluid (140) is pumped down the tubular member (135). The drilling fluid (140) is used to create an underbalanced condition where a hydrostatic pressure in the annulus (175) is below a zone of interest pressure. The under-reamer (125) is activated to enlarge the wellbore diameter and remove a layer of skin for a predetermined length. During the under-reaming operation, the hydrostatic pressure is maintained below the zone of interest pressure, thereby allowing wellbore fluid (145) to migrate up the annulus (175) and out of the wellbore. Upon completion, the under-reamer (125) is deactivated and the assembly is removed from the wellbore.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a whipstock assembly (100) for use in forming a lateral borehole from a parent wellbore. The whipstock assembly comprises a body (122) and a deflection member 120) above the body. The deflection member includes a concave portion (111) for deflecting a milling bit during a milling operation. Disposed on a perforation plate (110) portion of the concave portion is a raised surface feature (116). The raised surface supports a milling bit above the perforation plate portion during a milling operation. This, in turn, substantially prevents frictional contact between the milling bits and the perforation plate portion during a milling operation. The present invention also provides a novel method for manufacturing a whipstock in which a cavity portion is formed behind the perforation plate by milling out the backside of the deflection member and then joining a second back cover member to the whipstock body to complete the assembly.
