Patent number: 10465487Abstract: An outer casing string, including a surface casing head, and associated installation method. In some embodiments, the surface casing head includes an outer tubular member insertable through a diverter of an installed conductor system, an inner tubular member at least partially disposed within and moveable relative to the outer tubular member, and a sleeve ring rotatably coupled to the inner tubular. The outer tubular member has an annular recess. The sleeve ring includes a snap ring that is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, at least a portion of the snap ring is received within the annular recess, and the outer tubular member is axially immovable relative to the inner tubular member. In the retracted position, no portion of the snap ring is received within the annular recess, and the outer tubular member is axially moveable relative to the inner tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Cameron International CorporationInventors: Gavin Paul Robottom, Edward T. Thornburrow, Nigel Hogg

Patent number: 10132132Abstract: A system, in certain embodiments, includes a housing running tool including an inner sleeve having a first mating surface configured to engage a second mating surface of a housing to rigidly couple the inner sleeve to the housing. The housing running tool also includes an outer sleeve disposed about the inner sleeve and configured to support the inner sleeve in an axial direction. The outer sleeve includes a first mounting feature configured to engage a second mounting feature of the housing such that substantially all torque applied to the housing running tool in a circumferential direction is transferred to the housing via the outer sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Cameron International CorporationInventor: Gavin Paul Robottom

Patent number: 9976377Abstract: A system includes a control block configured to be coupled to a tree of a wellhead assembly. The control block includes a housing and a plate supported by the housing and having a radially inner wall defining an opening configured to receive a tubing member extending from the tree. The control block also includes a first recess extending circumferentially about the radially inner wall of the plate and configured to support a first annular seal to facilitate sealing the tubing member within the opening while the tubing member is positioned within the opening. The control block may also include a second recess extending circumferentially about the radially-inner wall of the opening and configured to support a second annular seal.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Cameron International CorporationInventors: Gavin Paul Robottom, Adrian Richard Lumb
