.... In addition, no ball seat tool is required downhole, reducing the amount of equipment that is run in the BHA. Although hydraulic activation is the most common method for liner hanger equipment activation, the challenges with this method are many. The dynamics of balls flowing through a wellbore...

... gained operator acceptance and realized significant cost savings to the operator. Both the technology and methodology used and the results achieved should be of interest to the petroleum industry. zonal isolation hydraulic fracturing completion equipment ball seat Completion Installation...

... utilized in wells around the world. This smart material has since been incorporated into ball seats and high-impacting telescoping ports (HITP) to increase the efficiency of delivery systems in hydraulic fracturing or acid stimulation treatments. The disintegration mechanism of the HSDM allows the ball...

... intervention. However, traditional ball-activated frac sleeves have graduated ball seat sizes for each additional zone, and therefore, each ball seat creates its own backpressure within the system. With the number of frac stages increasing, the ball seat sizes become smaller, leading to an increase...

... The tests were carried out in an almost horizontal pipe section fitted with the ball seat and with water pressure below the valve. The ability to mill is directly related to controllability of the tractor, i.e. the traction between the tractor and the tubing. By gradually increasing the weight...
