  • Disconnectable pressure-preserving electrical connector and method of installation
    Patent number: 10280701
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dis-connectable wellhead hanger arrangement permitting a pig tail set of a electrical conductors to be inserted within the wellhead hanger arrangement which seals against the wellhead hanger upon separation of an electrical power cable. If the power cable separates from the production tubing for any reason, the compressively fit plugs disconnect the power cable from the pathway leaving the electrical mandrel sealed within the wellhead hanger, thereby sealing the wellhead hanger from loss of fluid after separation.
    Type: Grant

  • SURFACE WELLHEAD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND METHOD OF USE
    Publication number: 20150053392
    Abstract: An economical connection to the electrical conductors extending from a wellhead penetrator is disclosed allowing several forms of connection using a flexible fitting attached to the wellhead enclosing the conductors extending out of the wellhead and allowing the connection to the surface conductors. Because of the flexibility of the braided fitting attached to the tubular connector sleeve, the splice of the electrical conductors can be accomplished quickly and efficiently.
