  • Publication number: 20220298871
    Abstract: A control line protector for protecting one or more downhole control lines running alongside a pipe, comprising a body with one or more channels, wherein each of the one or more channels is adapted to receive a control line, and an attachment assembly coupled to the body for attachment to an outer surface of the pipe, wherein the attachment assembly comprises an inner collar comprising a tubular portion and a plurality of gripping arms extending axially away from the tubular portion and arranged to deflect radially inwards and an outer sleeve adapted to slide at least partially over the inner collar, wherein when the inner collar and the outer sleeve are arranged axially around the pipe and pressed together each of the plurality of gripping arms is deflected radially inwards by the outer sleeve to grip the pipe and thereby secure the body to the outer surface of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 11136833
    Abstract: A float equipment attachment assembly includes a float equipment for mounting to a tubing string. The float equipment includes a tubular body and a plurality of gripping arms extending longitudinally away from the tubular body arranged to deflect radially inwards. An attachment sleeve has an inner diameter tapered to form a conical abutment portion. The attachment sleeve and float equipment are arranged axially around the tubing string and are pressed together. The gripping arms are deflected radially inward by the conical abutment portion to grip the tubing string to mount the float equipment to the tubing string.

  • Patent number: 10851600
    Abstract: A method of connecting an end part of a pipe attachment device to a part of a function element, includes: aligning longitudinal axes of a substantially tubular end part of a pipe attachment device and a substantially tubular part of a function element; applying a force that moves the end part of the pipe attachment device relatively towards the part of the function element along the longitudinal axis. Contact between the end part of the pipe attachment device and the part of the function element causes each of a plurality of fingers on the end part to elastically deflect. Applying the force so that each of the plurality of fingers on the end part returns from their deflected position and is retained in one or more holes in the part of the function element.
