  • Patent number: 11572755
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement for an oil and/or gas well, including a rotation portion and a sealing portion. Rotation of the rotation portion causes the sealing portion to engage a surface of the oil and/or gas well so as to substantially form a seal therebetween.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 7, 2023
    Assignee: Baker Hughes Energy Technology UK Limited

  • Patent number: 9765593
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a configurable pre-machined forging for use with a multiple bore tubing hanger or a mono bore tubing hanger includes providing a configurable common master valve block with a main bore along a main central axis. After providing the configurable common master valve block, a target subsea assembly is identified that has a mono bore subsea completion with a production bore along a central axis of a tubing hanger, or a multiple bore subsea completion with the production bore offset from the central axis of the tubing hanger. If the target subsea assembly has the mono bore subsea completion, the machining of a lower interface of the common master valve block is centered around the main central axis. If the target subsea assembly has the multiple bore subsea completion, the machining has an eccentric interface axis that is parallel to, and offset from, the main central axis.

  • Publication number: 20160160604
    Abstract: A pre-machined forging for use with a subsea hydrocarbon assembly includes a common master valve block. The common master valve block has an upper cylindrical portion with a main central axis. A lower cylindrical portion of the common master valve block includes a lower axis that is parallel to, and offset from, the main central axis. A valve portion of the common master valve block is located axially between the upper cylindrical portion and the lower cylindrical portion. A main bore extends axially through the common master valve block from a bottom end of the common master valve block to a top end of the common master valve block along the main central axis.
