US Patent:
5470111, Nov 28, 1995
Filed:
Aug 12, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/288805
Inventors:
John M. Nelson - Houston TX
Ray D. Willis - Houston TX
Ray D. Willis - Houston TX
Assignee:
Tuboscope Vetco International, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
F16L 1504
US Classification:
285 55
Abstract:
A coupling assembly having an annular coupling with internal threads having a continuous plastic, corrosion-resistant coating. Opposed tubes are provided with a similar internal coating. The tubes have external threads inserted into the coupling with the internal and external threads being in threaded engagement. An annular gasket is provided of rigid material and is mounted between and in sealing engagement with opposed ends of the tubes within the coupling. The gasket has a continuous radial portion extending between the opposed ends of the tubes and in spaced apart relation thereto. O-rings are in sealing engagement with the tubing ends and the continuous radial portion of the gasket. A pair of opposed flanges extend from opposite sides of the continuous radial portion of the gasket and are in sealing contact with an interior surface portion of the tubes.
Preloaded Riser Coupling System
US Patent:
7337848, Mar 4, 2008
Filed:
Aug 23, 2006
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
Vetco Gray Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 29/12
US Classification:
166345, 166359, 166344
Abstract:
An offshore riser system has riser joints, each having a pin and a box. The pin has an external grooved profile that is engaged by a locking element carried by the box of another riser joint. An actuating ring engages with the locking element to move it into the locked position. A retractable spider supports the string of riser while the new joint is being made up. A makeup tool on the riser deploying floor moves the ring relative to the locking element, causing the locking element to move to the locked position.
Wellhead Seal Assembly
US Patent:
8186426, May 29, 2012
Filed:
Dec 11, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/332975
Inventors:
John E. Nelson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Vetco Gray Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 19/00
US Classification:
166 883, 277323, 277328
Abstract:
A seal assembly for sealing between wellhead members in a wellhead, the assembly may include a seal element and a lockdown member. The seal assembly is attachable to either one of the wellhead members by coupling the lockdown member to a locking surface on the wellhead member. The lockdown member and locking surface may include corresponding profiles for mating engagement thereby preventing relative movement between the wellhead member and seal assembly.

Sub Mudline Abandonment Connector
US Patent:
7216699, May 15, 2007
Filed:
Dec 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/737565
Inventors:
John Edward Nelson - Houston TX, US
James A. Gariepy - Houston TX, US
James A. Gariepy - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Vetco Gray Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 19/18
US Classification:
166 7751, 166338, 166340, 166344, 166350, 166351, 166368, 166377
Abstract:
An inner tubular member of a subsea wellhead assembly carries a locking member that moves between a locked and unlocked positions lands within an outer tubular member having a grooved profile in its bore. The inner tubular member joins to a portion of the conductor casing extending from a low pressure wellhead housing above the mudline of the seafloor. In the locked position, the locking member engages the grooved profile on the outer tubular member to connect the outer tubular member and inner tubular member. The inner tubular member also carries a hydraulically actuated, axially moveable locking sleeve that slidingly engages the locking member to move the locking member between the locked and unlocked positions. An ROV supplies hydraulic fluid through an ROV port to actuate the locking sleeve.
Metal Annulus Seal
US Patent:
2012022, Sep 13, 2012
Filed:
May 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/477246
Inventors:
John E. Nelson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Vetco Gray Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 33/04, E21B 33/03
US Classification:
166387, 166 831, 277328
Abstract:
A wellhead seal assembly forms a metal-to-metal seal between inner and outer wellhead members. A metal seal ring has inner and outer walls separated by a slot. An energizing ring has a C-ring captured on its outer surface. When the energizing ring is moved further into the slot, the C-ring is forced from its pocket and engages a profile on the seal ring, locking the energizing ring to the seal assembly.
