Abstract: A gas generator driven hydraulic pressure supply device for hydraulically operating an operational device such as a wellbore tool includes an elongated body having an internal bore extending axially from a first end to a discharge end having a discharge port, a gas generator connected to the first end and a hydraulic fluid disposed in the internal bore between a piston and the discharge end so that a portion of the hydraulic fluid is exhausted under pressure through the discharge port in response to activation of the gas generator.

Abstract: A pyrotechnic pressure accumulator includes an elongated body extending from a first end of a pyrotechnic section to a discharge end of a hydraulic section. A propellant charge located in a gas chamber of the pyrotechnic section, a piston movably disposed the hydraulic section, and a fluid disposed in a hydraulic chamber between the piston and the discharge end, wherein the fluid is exhausted under pressure through a discharge port in response to ignition of the propellant charge.

Abstract: A subsea well safing method and apparatus to secure a subsea well in the event of a perceived blowout in a manner to mitigate the environmental damage and the physical damage to the subsea wellhead equipment to promote the ability to reconnect and recover control of the well. The safing assembly is connectable to a subsea well and a marine riser. Pursuant to a safing sequence, the well tubular is secured in the upper and lower safing assemblies and the tubular is then sheared between the locations at which it has been secured. Subsequently, an ejection device may be actuated to physically separate the upper safing assembly and the connected marine riser from the lower safing assembly the subsea well.

Abstract: A ram or shutter device includes rams operable between an open position withdrawn from a bore to a closed position to contact a tubular disposed in the bore, the rams may not seal the bore. A well system in accordance to an aspect of the disclosure includes an assembly providing a bore in communication with a wellbore, a device operable to shear a tubular disposed in the bore, and a shutter device having rams operable between an open position withdrawn from the bore to a closed position contacting the tubular in the bore.
