Rechargeable System For Subsea Force Generating Device And Method

US Patent:
2012013, Jun 7, 2012
Filed:
Dec 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/960770
Inventors:
Mark WORDLEY - Magnolia TX, US
Ryan GUSTAFSON - Cypress TX, US
Assignee:
HYDRIL USA MANUFACTURING LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
B23P 11/00, E03B 5/00
US Classification:
137 1501, 13756517
Abstract:
Method and recharging mechanism for resetting a pressure in a low pressure recipient. The recharging mechanism includes a low pressure recipient configured to have first and second chambers, the first chamber being configured to receive a hydraulic liquid at a high pressure and the second chamber being configured to include a gas at a low pressure. The recharging mechanism further includes a valve fluidly connected to a first port of the first chamber; a pumping device fluidly connected to a second port of the first chamber; and a blowout preventer (BOP) section fluidly connected to the valve and configured to close or open a ram block. The pumping device is configured to evacuate the hydraulic fluid from the first chamber of the low pressure recipient when the valve closes a fluid communication between the first port of the first chamber and the BOP section.

Safety Mechanism For Blowout Preventer

US Patent:
2011010, May 5, 2011
Filed:
Oct 29, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/608631
Inventors:
Ryan Gustafson - Cypress TX, US

International Classification:
E21B 29/12, E21B 33/06
US Classification:
166359, 166 854
Abstract:
Blowout preventer (BOP) stack and lower marine riser package for sealing an undersea well. The blowout preventer stack includes a frame extending along an axis and configured to be attached to a head of the well; an accumulator attached to the frame and configured to provide high pressure; two or more BOPs attached to the frame, the two or more BOPs being disposed within the frame and attached one on top of the other along the axis; each BOP having a body and a pair of bonnets attached to the body, where the bonnets are configured to be detachably attached to the body; each BOP having a corresponding cavity extending along the axis through which a fluid from the well is circulating; each BOP being configured to seal the well when the high pressure from the accumulator is released to the BOPs; plural brackets attached to the body of at least one BOP; and a safety bar attached to the plural brackets and configured to partially encircle the body of the at least one BOP.
