Flow Actuated Valve For Use In A Wellbore
US Patent:
6622795, Sep 23, 2003
Filed:
Nov 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/995842
Inventors:

Assignee:
Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 3400
US Classification:
166374, 166325, 166326, 1375157
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a flow-actuated valve for use in a wellbore. The invention includes a body having a closing member and a seat. The closing member and seat are separable to open and close the valve, thereby allowing the flow of fluid through the valve. The invention further includes a retainer to initially retain the valve in the open position absent a predetermined fluid flow rate in a first direction for a predetermined time period. A biasing member thereafter urges the valve to the closed position, absent another fluid flow rate in the first direction.

International Classification:
E21B 23/00
US Classification:
166381, 166 53
Abstract:
An apparatus for launching objects, such as during casing cementing operations, in wells having dual gradient fluid systems or certain downhole internal diameter restrictions. A launching assembly is located below a dual gradient valve or other restriction. In one embodiment, control lines extend from the earth's surface to the launching assembly and control actuation of the launching assembly. In an alternative embodiment, a receptacle assembly is positioned above a dual gradient valve or other restriction, with control lines extending from the receptacle assembly to the launching assembly. A dart or other triggering object is launched from the earth's surface to the receptacle assembly in order to control actuation of the launching assembly.

International Classification:
E21B 43/10
US Classification:
166285, 166207, 166380
Abstract:
The present invention provides a cement shoe assembly for use on a string of tubulars in a well. In one aspect of the invention, the cement shoe assembly includes a housing having a lower portion with an enlarged inside diameter and a drillable cement shoe disposed therein. The shoe includes a weakened portion of material adjacent the enlarged inside diameter portion of the housing and ensures that as a cutting tool passes through the housing, all portions of the cement shoe are removed from the enlarged inside diameter portion, leaving a connection surface clear of debris for a subsequent tubular string. When a smaller tubular is expanded into the enclosed diameter portion of the housing, a connection is made therebetween without enlarging the outer diameter of the housing.

International Classification:
E21B 33/14
US Classification:
166285, 1662428
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for cementing an annulus wellbore is described herein. The apparatus includes an internally radiused portion of a sleeve adapted for increasing the compressive strength of a compound for securing a valve in the sleeve. The internally radiused portion prevents the apparatus from leaking during operation. The apparatus is manufactured using one pass of a milling tool. The apparatus is run into a wellbore. A cementing operation in performed past the apparatus. The apparatus then prevents the cement from entering a downhole tubular.

International Classification:
E21B 34/06
US Classification:
166373, 166321
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a pressure relief valve assembly. The valve assembly may be coupled to one or more casings and/or tubular members to control fluid communication therebetween. The valve assembly is a one-way valve assembly that relieves pressure within an annulus formed between adjacent casings and/or tubular members to prevent burst or collapse of the casings and/or tubular members. The valve assembly is resettable downhole.

Abstract:
A centralizer assembly having a tubular body member with upper and lower channels extending around the external surface of said central tubular body member. A bow spring assembly having bow spring members is installed around the outer surface of the tubular body member and can rotate about the outer surface of the central tubular body member. Bow spring heel supports prevent the bow spring members from contacting the outer surface of the central tubular member when compressed. Non-abrasive materials prevent damage to wellhead or other polished bore receptacles. A robust bolster frame protects the centralizer assembly during shipping, storage or other periods of non-use.
