Abstract
A method and apparatus of electrically and sequentially completing an oil and/or gas well through a tubing production string in a well casing. The operation includes electrically and sequentially actuating downhole equipment such as well packers, a safety joint, well annulus safety valve, solenoid actuated tubing safety valve, blanking block valve, circulating sleeve, and receiving electrical feedback from the equipment determining the position of the downhole equipment.
Claims4
An electrically actuated well packer for use in a well for sealing between a production string and well casing comprising,
- a body having a bore therethrough,
- initially retracted packer seal means surrounding said body,
- initially retracted slip means surrounding said body,
- fluid actuated piston means connected to the body for expanding and setting the slip means and the packer seal means,
- an initially closed fluid chamber in the body containing a pressurized fluid source,
- a frangible member initially blocking communication between the piston means and the fluid chamber, and
- an electrical motor in the body connected to the frangible member for breaking the member and allowing fluid source in the chamber to actuate the piston means.
