Application: Isolation and filtration object, system, and method (Patent ID: US20240068322A1)
The patent filed by Baker Hughes Co. describes an isolation and filtration object that can transition from a first geometry with lower permeability to a second geometry with higher permeability when deployed in a borehole. This object is part of an isolation and filtration system that includes a housing, a plug seat, and the object itself. The system can be connected to a string in a borehole system in a subsurface formation. The method for operating the borehole involves migrating the plug to a seat, differentiating pressure across the plug, and transitioning it to the second geometry, potentially using an activation fluid.
The claims associated with the patent detail the specific features of the isolation and filtration object, system, and method. These include the use of a shape memory material for the object, the ability to filter fluid through a port in the housing, and the option to replace the plug with a new one after it has completed its filtration function. The method also involves applying an input, such as an activation fluid, to facilitate the transition of the plug to the second geometry. Overall, the patent aims to provide an efficient and effective way to isolate and filter fluids in a borehole system using a unique object that can change its permeability based on the conditions in the borehole.
