  • Patent number: 10364639
    Abstract: This invention relates to a sealing apparatus, system and method for use in a well pipe. The apparatus has a mandrel arranged around a center axis through the apparatus, a radially movable gripping device arranged around the mandrel, a radially movable packer element arranged around the mandrel, and an axially movable activation device designed to set up axial forces for activating the apparatus. The apparatus also includes a radially movable centralizer arranged around the mandrel for centring the apparatus. The activation device being operatively connected to the gripping device, the packer element and the centralizer for the respective activation and radial movement of each, via power transmission of axial forces, between retracted, passive positions and expanded, active positions relative to the center axis of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10087693
    Abstract: This invention relates to a manipulation tool and method for connection and operation of a controllable well device and adapter. The tool includes an elongated housing with first and second end portions, a gripping device in the first end portion provides releasable engagement with the well device controllable by means of the manipulation tool. The gripping device includes means for resisting rotational and axial movement between the housing and the well device. At least one manipulation device is axially displaceable between a first and second position along a longitudinal axis of the housing and rotatable around the longitudinal axis of the housing. A first driving device produces axial displacement of the at least one manipulation device, and a second driving device produces rotation of at least one manipulation device. The first and second driving devices are connected to a control unit for controlling energy to the driving devices.
