Publication number: 20180209236Abstract: A method for conducting a subsea well intervention at a subsea well, and a related system. In particular embodiments, an assembly is provided comprising a wireline drum pressure container unit, a lubricator package having a lock chamber tube enclosing a tool string and having at least one valve in a vertical bore, and a connector used to connect the assembly to a well control package on a well head of the well. In such an embodiment, the method can include displacing well fluid in a cavity between the valve of the lubricator package and a valve of the well control package, using a clean fluid, while the valve of the lubricator package is closed. The assembly can then be disconnected from said well control package at the connector and retrieved to the surface, whereby contamination of seawater due to disconnection can be reduced or minimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2015Publication date: July 26, 2018Applicant: CapWell ASInventors: Morten Talgø, John Helvik, Tore Aarsland

Patent number: 9470054Abstract: A petroleum well intervention winch system includes a high pressure confining housing for a drum for a rope to a tool string. The pressure confining housing has a connector with an aperture for the rope to a top of a tool string gate chamber on vertical bore BOP valves on a wellhead on the petroleum well. The rope runs through the aperture via a capstan to the drum. The capstan is driven by a first motor through a first high pressure proof magnetic coupling across a wall of the housing. The drum is driven by a second motor through a second high pressure proof magnetic coupling across the wall of the housing. The capstan is subject to a load tension from the rope and is provided with a hold tension on the rope from the drum. The second motor exerts a constant hold tension on the rope via the drum.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2012Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: CAPWELL ASInventors: Morten Talgø, John Helvik

Patent number: 9359830Abstract: An apparatus for gripping a support member is described. The apparatus comprises a tubular clamp, the tubular clamp defining a throughbore adapted to receive a support member therethrough, a first apparatus member adapted to engage a first portion of an external surface of the tubular clamp, and a second apparatus member adapted to engage a second portion of the external surface of the tubular clamp. Relative movement of the first apparatus member with respect to the tubular damp in a first direction results in a deflection of a section of a first end of the tubular clamp into the clamp throughbore and relative movement of the second apparatus member in a second direction, opposite the first direction, with respect to the tubular clamp results in a deflection of a section of a second end of the tubular clamp into the clamp throughbore.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: C6 Technologies ASInventors: Kenny Armstrong, Morten Talgo

Patent number: 9279296Abstract: An injector head for feeding a tool string support member downhole is described. The injector head includes a first gripping device and a second gripping device. The first and second gripping devices are adapted to grip a tool string support member passing through an injector head passageway. The injector head further includes an actuator movable between a first position and a second position wherein, movement of the actuator between the first and second positions moves at least a portion of both of the first and second gripping devices towards or away from a passageway longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: C6 Technologies ASInventors: Kenny Armstrong, Morten Talgo, Ole Johannessen

Patent number: 6286595Abstract: A tubing system for use in an oil or gas well includes a tubing, provided with a holder portion; a casing, around the tubing; a packer, disposed in an annulus defined by the tubing and the casing; and a telescopic extension, positioned within the tubing and extendable beyond a distal portion of the tubing. The telescopic extension is provided with structures for fastening the telescopic extension to the holder portion of the tubing, and structures for accepting a tool by which the telescopic extension is axially displaceable to withdraw the telescopic extension from the distal portion of the tubing.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: September 11, 2001Assignee: Maritime Well Service ASInventors: David Gardner Oxnevad, Nils Reimers, Terje K.
