Abstract: A catheter device for crossing occlusions includes an elongate body, a central lumen extending within the elongate body from the proximal end to the distal end, a rotatable tip at the distal end of the elongate body, and an OCT imaging sensor. The rotatable tip is configured to rotate relative to the elongate body. The OCT imaging sensor includes an optical fiber coupled with the rotatable tip and configured to rotate therewith. A distal end of the elongate body includes one or more markers configured to occlude the OCT imaging sensor as it rotates. A fixed jog in the elongate body proximal to the distal end of the catheter positions the distal end of the catheter at an angle relative to the region of the catheter proximal to the fixed jog and is aligned with the one or more markers on the elongate body.

Abstract: A jet pump system including a pump body having a nozzle carrier, a pump housing, and a cross-over housing connected in axially alignment. A flow discharge housing extends from the cross-over housing up to near the nozzle carrier. An injector nozzle having a cylindrical injection bore is axially directed into the discharge housing. A mixing tube is carried by the discharge housing which has a mixing bore in alignment with the injector bore. A funnel shaped flow intake throat merges through a mixing throat into the mixing bore. The cross-over housing is formed with large flow windows for discharge of the pumped mixed fluid through equally large windows, formed in a tubing seating sub into the annulus between the tubing and casing of a well. The assembly is equipped to be pumped down into operating position and pumped back to the earth's surface.

Abstract: A jet pump system that is portable on a truck or equipment skid and transportable from well to well and useable from the truck or equipment skid for the lowering and withdrawal of the jet pump down and up from a well with coiled pipe and coiled return line. In one version the coiled pressure fluid pipe and coiled return line are strapped together at intervals as the pump is being lowered and the pipe and line fed down the well with the pipe being the primary support for the lowered pump, the return line and the pipe itself. In another version a motor cable reel unit lowers and raises cable that is strapped at intervals to both the pipe and the return line as a support for the lowered pump, the return line and the pipe.

Abstract: A down the hole product flow jet pump with a reverse flow removable injection nozzle that can be in the form of an orifice member placed in a plug or a one piece orifice and plug member that is moveable up and down the pumping fluid line dependent on the direction of fluid flow and/or non-flow in the line. The jet pump includes a check valve that opens for inflow of product from the well only when a drawing vacuum is created in the jet pump vacuum chamber so normal pumping flow can be stopped and reversed with the check valve closing when pumping flow stops and remaining closed during reverse flow in the system. A trap is provided at the wellhead into which the injection nozzle is floated with reverse flow of pumping fluid in the system. The injection nozzle is removable from the trap for servicing or replacement by insertion in the trap and then, with the trap opened, permitted to float down or be pumped down to seat in the jet pump housing on location down the hole.

Abstract: A reverse up flow jet pump used in an oil and gas pumping system having a positive displacement pump on the surface supplying water flow under pressure to the jet pump down the hole. The jet pump is used in a system drawing a vacuum reducing if not eliminating the effect of head pressure within the well resulting in freer fluid flow from the formation pay zone to thereby reduce costs and increase production.
