Downhole Gripping Tool And Method
US Patent:
6719063, Apr 13, 2004
Filed:
Mar 26, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/106312
Inventors:
Richard W. Adams - Houston TX
Ronnie D. Arnold - Missouri City TX
Ronnie D. Arnold - Missouri City TX
Assignee:
TIW Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 2300
US Classification:
166382, 166216, 166217
Abstract:
A gripping tool may be positioned in a well on a running string RS to at least temporarily secure the gripping tool to a borehole wall. The gripping tool includes a drag member , a plurality of slips , and a cone member. A slip setting mechanism is provided for securing the slips in the radially inward position when the slip setting mechanism is run-in the well. At least one ramp moves the slip setting mechanism to a released position upon rotation of the running string in a first direction. A ratchet member rotationally releases the running string from the slip setting mechanism when the running string is rotated in an opposing direction. The tool may be set, released by pickup and returned to the run-in position, then reset without returning the tool to the surface.
Downhole Flapper Circulation Tool
US Patent:
7434625, Oct 14, 2008
Filed:
Jun 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/141840
Inventors:
Richard Wayne Adams - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
TIW Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 33/13
US Classification:
166373, 1663328, 166386
Abstract:
The circulation tool for use downhole in a well includes a housing having one or more bypass ports for circulation between a bore in the housing and an annulus surrounding the housing. Sleeve is axially movable within the housing, and axially spaced seals seal between the sleeve and the housing when the sleeve is in the closed position. A flapper is pivotally mounted to the sleeve, and includes a seat about a central bore in the flapper for engagement with the plug. A stop prevents pivoting of the flapper to an open position until the sleeve has moved axially and the seals seal between the sleeve and the housing.

Flapper Valve And Actuator
US Patent:
7537062, May 26, 2009
Filed:
Aug 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/464389
Inventors:
William James Hughes - Bixby OK, US
Richard W. Adams - Houston TX, US
Richard W. Adams - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Sunstone Corporation - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
E21B 34/06
US Classification:
166386, 1663328, 251298
Abstract:
An improved flapper valve is disclosed comprising a housing, a flapper pivotally engaged to the housing, and an actuator slidingly engaged in the housing and adapted to make initial contact with the flapper at a seat end. The seat end is an area surrounding a point on a flapper bottom surface that is furthest from the location of pivotal engagement of the flapper and the housing but not in contact with the housing. The flapper closes at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The actuator is hollow and the interior of the actuator forms a through bore. In the closed position the flapper prevents fluid from the passing through the bore.
