  • Patent number: 6112815
    Abstract: Inflow regulation device for a production pipe for production of oil or gas from an oil- and/or gas reservoir (9), where the production pipe comprises a lower drainage pipe with drainage pipe sections (5) with one or more drainage pipe elements (2; 2a, 2b) having opening(s) (3; 3a, 3b) for inflow of oil and/or gas to an inner space (8) of the drainage pipe section. The inflow may be regulated by a movable sleeve (1) that abuts one adjacent side surface of the drainage pipe section (2; 2a, 2b) and where the sleeve is provided with a portion(s) (6) being able to cover/uncover the opening(s) in the drainage pipe element. The sleeve further comprises helical spurs/recesses (14, 15) that in conjunction with one adjacent abutting surface (18, 21) of the drainage pipe element (2; 2a, 2b) forms channels (16, 17) that may connect the reservoir (9) with the inner space (8) of the drainage pipe. The helical spurs/recesses (14, 15) may be constituted by one or more pair(s) of left- and/or right-oriented spurs/recesses.

  • Patent number: 5881807
    Abstract: An injector (1) for injecting a traceable material into an oil and/or gas reservoir is lowered down into a bore hole that is in communication with the reservoir. An electro-hydraulic system is activated to inject a traceable material stored in a container into the reservoir. The injector is provided with a gland plate (7) that seals a space between the injector and the wall of the bore hole (16) in a manner that prevents traceable material from being distributed in the bore hole, but secures direct injection of the material into the reservoir. The injector is adapted to be positioned at a specific depth level in the bore hole, and to be cleaned by pressurized liquid after the injection operation is completed.
