Capillary Hanger Arrangement For Deploying Control Line In Existing Wellhead
US Patent:
8312932, Nov 20, 2012
Filed:
Mar 20, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/408527
Inventors:
Richard Jones - Lafayette LA, US

Assignee:
Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 19/02
US Classification:
166379, 166382, 166 7514, 166 863, 166 771
Abstract:
To deploy a capillary string through a wellhead to a downhole safety valve, a control port and a retention port are drilled in an adapter between a casing hanger and a gate valve or elsewhere. The capillary string is connected to a first port of a capillary hanger and installed through the wellhead. The capillary hanger is landed on a tubing hanger, and a side port on the capillary hanger communicates with the control port. Because the side port's location may not align with the control port, operators may need to measure how long the capillary hanger should be. A control line connects to the control port in the wellhead's side to communicate with the capillary line, and a retention rod inserts in the retention port to support the capillary hanger.
Dual Control Line System And Method For Operating Surface Controlled Sub-Surface Safety Valve In A Well
US Patent:
7878252, Feb 1, 2011
Filed:
Aug 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/841511
Inventors:
Roddie R. Smith - Cypress TX, US
Richard C. Jones - Lafayette LA, US
Stuart M. Dennistoun - Cypress TX, US
Richard C. Jones - Lafayette LA, US
Stuart M. Dennistoun - Cypress TX, US
Assignee:
Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 34/10
US Classification:
166375, 166319
Abstract:
A control system for a surface controlled sub-surface safety valve has first and second control lines. The first control line communicates control fluid to the sub-surface safety valve and preferably has a sump and in-line filters. Hydraulic pressure applied to the safety valve with this first control line can open the safety valve. The second control line also communicates control fluid to the sub-surface safety valve and preferably has a sump. A connecting valve is connected between the first and second control lines. The connecting valve allows control fluid to communicate from the first control line to the safety valve but prevents fluid communication from the second control line to the first control line. To open the valve, the second control line is exhausted to a reservoir. The dual control lines provide redundant control of the safety valve and can also be cycled to remove debris from the system.
Surface Controlled Subsurface Safety Valve Having Integral Pack-Off
US Patent:

Assignee:
Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 34/10
US Classification:
166322, 1663328
Abstract:
A safety valve apparatus has a housing with a bore and a projection in the bore. A flapper rotatably disposed on the housing is movable relative to the bore between opened and closed positions, and a packing element disposed on the housing is compressible to engage an inner conduit wall surrounding the housing. An upper sleeve disposed within the bore above the projection is hydraulically movable from a first position to a second position via the hydraulic communication with a port in the projection. The first sleeve when moved to the second position compresses the packing element. A piston disposed in the housing hydraulically communicates with the port and couples to a second sleeve disposed within the bore below the projection. The second sleeve conceals the piston and is hydraulically movable via the hydraulic communication of the port with the piston to open and close the flapper.

Assignee:
WEATHERFORD/LAMB, INC. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 23/02
US Classification:
166382, 166319
Abstract:
A safety valve apparatus has a housing with a bore and a projection disposed in the bore. A locking dog disposed on the housing is movable to engage an inner conduit wall surrounding the housing, and a flapper rotatably disposed on the housing is movable between opened and closed positions. A first sleeve disposed within the bore above the projection is mechanically movable between locked positions. In one locked position, the sleeve moves the locking dog to engage the wall. A piston disposed in the housing hydraulically communicates with a port in the projection and couples to a second sleeve disposed within the bore below the projection. The second sleeve conceals the piston and is hydraulically movable to open and close the flapper.
