Abstract
A downhole tool includes a mandrel, a slip, a sealing element, and a fluid reservoir. The slip is configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for setting of the downhole tool thereto. The sealing element is configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for creating a seal therebetween. The fluid reservoir is configured to store a fluid onboard the downhole tool.
Claims20
A downhole tool for hydraulic fracturing or other downhole wellbore work, the downhole tool comprising:
- a mandrel;
- a slip configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for setting of the downhole tool thereto;
- a sealing element configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for creating a seal therebetween;
- a fluid reservoir configured to store a fluid onboard the downhole tool;
- and
- a nosecone, wherein the fluid reservoir is formed in the nosecone.
A downhole tool for hydraulic fracturing or other downhole wellbore work, the downhole tool comprising:
- a mandrel;
- a slip configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for setting of the downhole tool thereto;
- a sealing element configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for creating a seal therebetween;
- a fluid reservoir configured to store a fluid onboard the downhole tool;
- and
- a nosecone, wherein the fluid reservoir is releasably attached to the nosecone.
A downhole tool for hydraulic fracturing or other downhole wellbore work, the downhole tool comprising:
- a mandrel;
- a slip configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for setting of the downhole tool thereto;
- a sealing element configured to selectively extend radially outwardly from the mandrel to facilitate engagement with a wellbore for creating a seal therebetween;
- a fluid reservoir onboard the downhole tool;
- a fluid disposed in the fluid reservoir;
- and
- a nosecone, wherein the fluid reservoir is disposed in the nosecone.
A method for lubricating a wellbore with a downhole tool, the method comprising:
- forming a downhole tool with a fluid reservoir that is onboard the downhole tool;
- filling the fluid reservoir with a fluid;
- positioning the downhole tool within a wellbore;
- setting the downhole tool within the wellbore;
- removing, by a removal tool, the downhole tool from the wellbore;
- and
- during removal of the downhole tool, rupturing, by the removal tool, the fluid reservoir to cause dispensation of the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the wellbore.
