  • Patent number: 10841777
    Abstract: A system and method for managing the qualifications of emergency management personnel through the use of at least partially automated qualification management devices or electronic Position Task Books (ePTBs) is presented herein. The system includes a network of participating organizations comprising governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academic institutions, and the private sector. The qualification management devices or ePTBs are used to establish the suitability of the personnel or individual participants in the performance of emergency management duties in the areas of emergency preparedness, planning, response, recovery, etc. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a system and/or method for the management (including the issuance, execution, and review) of qualification management devices or ePTBs within a self-managed network of participating organizations using internet and mobile technology to deliver ePTBs.

  • Patent number: 8196649
    Abstract: A single or multi-bowl wellhead may be positioned in a diverter housing over the wellbore. Protrusions on the wellhead may be installed after the diverter housing is removed. The wellhead accommodates the direct connection of hydraulic lines to a hanger seated therein. An overshot running tool protects the wellhead during placement and certain operations.

  • Patent number: 8091648
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for direct connecting downhole control hydraulics through an oil field hanger, where the hanger is coupled to a wellhead, to hydraulic lines extending outside the wellhead. Further, the direct connection allows hydraulic system integrity with reduced contamination and leakage. Hydraulic tool ports, formed on the hanger, are coupled with hydraulic lines extending downward to a hydraulic tool. Side ports, formed in the hanger, are fluidicly coupled to the hydraulic tool ports. Hydraulic lines extending outside the wellhead are directly coupled with the side ports by accessing the side ports through access openings in the wellhead when the ports are aligned with the access openings. The system can still maintain pressure within internal spaces of the wellhead after the connection by sealing the access openings with flanges, where the hydraulic lines extend through openings in the flanges that are also sealed around the lines.

  • Publication number: 20040079532
    Abstract: A tubular support system with a bowl and a hanger, the bowl for supporting at least one tubular member and including a body with at least one access port for accessing a fluid channel opening of the hanger positioned within the bowl; the hanger for connection to a tubular member and having at least one fluid channel through it from a bottom surface to an outer surface so that one or more control lines attached to a supported tubular (pipe, casing, riser, tubing) can be placed in fluid communication with the at least one fluid channel, and, via the at least one access port, the at least one fluid channel can be placed in fluid communication with other apparatus, e.g., a surface control unit.
