An improved method and apparatus for operating or setting equipment within a subsea marine wellhead from the surface having an indicating signal provided at the surface of the successful completion of such operation. The steps of the method include the lowering of a well component and the detecting and transmitting equipment on a running string from the surface; detecting the successful completion of the subsea operation, and transmitting to the surface of a signal signifying that the operations within the subsea well head have been successfully completed. The apparatus includes the running string, the detecting means which may be an acoustic detector or a ferrous metal detector or other suitable detector, a signal transmitter, means for supporting the detector and transmitter on the running string so that the well component can be properly lowered and positioned within the subsea wellhead and its proper landing, sealing or latching or other desired condition signalled to the surface to provide an indication that the operation has been completed.

A sewer pipe is repaired by inserting a thin, flexible liner within the sewer pipe. The liner has an outer diameter less than the inner diameter of the sewer pipe, whereby an annular space is presented between the liner and the sewer pipe. This annular space is filled with a low viscosity magnesium based cement, such as magnesium oxychloride cement or magnesium oxysulfate cement, which has a maximum Marsh funnel viscosity of 40 seconds per quart.

An improved wellhead structure including a wellhead housing having a sealing surface with grooves therein and pressure compensating material in the grooves, a sealing sleeve having inner and outer resilient seal rings and an internal actuating groove with upper and lower shoulders, an actuating ring having an outer flange engaged within the internal groove in the sleeve and an external surface tapering downward and inwardly and a hanger with an upstanding rim having external grooves with pressure compensating material in the grooves and having an inner surface which tapers upwardly and outwardly and is engaged by the external tapered surface of the actuating ring and upper and lower external seals and a port extending from the interior of the actuating ring to its exterior into the area between such seals so that pressure applied through the port forges the hanger rim and the sealing sleeve outward to ensure positive metal-to-metal sealing across the annulus between the exterior of the hanger rim and the interior of the wellhead housing.

The present invention relates to an improved seal assembly for sealing between the interior sealing surface of a well housing and the exterior sealing surface of a hanger landed within the well housing and includes a seal body having a pair of outer lips diverging outwardly for sealing against the housing interior sealing surface and an interior series of annular ridges which have a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the hanger exterior sealing surface, an upper energizer and a lower energizer for coacting with said lips to move the lips into sealing position and to store the energy of setting to ensure sealing engagement of the lips. The shape of the sealing lips is such that they each provide a sealing surface and a ridge having a greater outer diameter than the sealing surface so that when the seal assembly is being run into the housing any scratches resulting from the engagement of the seal with the interior of the housing is on the ridges and not on the sealing surfaces. Additionally, the exterior of the outwardly diverging lips is provided with a coating of a scratch healing material, such as silver plate, so that scratches on the sealing surface can be healed when the sealing surface is wedged into sealing engagement with the interior wall of the housing.

A method and dispensing apparatus for dispensing a soluble compound into a liquid stream. The dispensing apparatus includes a base having an inlet end and an outlet end with a throughbore connecting said inlet end to said outlet end. The throughbore is of generally constant diameter and unobstructed. A container for housing the soluble compound includes an opening. The container is removably secured to the base by a threaded connection. The base includes inlet and outlet connectors to couple the inlet end of the throughbore to a conduit connected to a liquid source and the outlet end of the throughbore to a lawn sprinkler. The base has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice between the throughbore and the secured container. A stake is adapted to be attached to the base member to secure the apparatus to the ground. The entrance orifice is smaller in diameter than the exit orifice and is typically located upstream of the exit orifice.

An improved well structure such as a well housing on which a casing hanger is to be landed which housing includes a high strength landing shoulder insert which allows the housing to support the casing hanger, its casing and the heavy loads associated therewith and with substantial pressure loads experienced in new wells. In one form of the invention an insert is provided in an internal recess in the housing and held therein by a housing ring threaded on the interior of the housing body. In another form an insert is introduced into an internal housing recess in the form of seat segments and bypass segments which are secured in place by the radial forming of a high strength seat ring. In still another form of the invention the high strength seat insert is segmented, positioned as segments in the internal housing recess and secured therein by the radial forming of a metal ring outwardly into internal recesses in each of the high strength seat insert segments. A casing hanger having a high strength landing ring carried thereon is landed on the high strength seat insert.

A blowout preventer with an aligning apparatus having a housing with a vertical bore therethrough and a blowout preventer in one portion of the housing with guideways extending outward from the bore, aligning guideways in the housing spaced from and parallel to the blowout preventer guideways, an aligning ram in each of the aligning guideways with a piston for extending and retracting the aligning ram, each aligning ram having a carrier slidable in the aligning guideway with a cam surface and a jaw having a mating cam surface and mounted on the carrier with the respective cam surfaces being in engagement, the outer surface of the jaw being substantially perpendicular to the axis of the aligning guideways and adapted to engage tubing within the housing bore, the cam surfaces of opposing aligning rams being angled to cause the opposing jaws to move transversely in the aligning guideways when they come into engagement with tubing to cause the tubing to be moved with the jaws into the preferred position for closing the blowout preventer on the tubing.
