  • Publication number: 20240093573
    Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a process for regulating a wellhead control mechanism. The apparatus may control actuation of a wellhead control mechanism by moving a moveable body of the apparatus between a first position and a second position. When the apparatus is in the first position a valve actuator is actuatable. When the apparatus is in the second position the valve actuator is physically interfered from actuating. Additionally, when the apparatus is in the second position, the wellhead control mechanism cannot be actuated and is held in either an open, a partially open or a closed position. Further, a system may directly control actuation of a wellhead actuation mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10683745
    Abstract: An apparatus that includes at least two well control mechanisms and at least one sensor to avoid collision between a section of a tubing string coupler or that is moving through the apparatus and a wellbore to which the apparatus is coupled. The sensors detect the presence of magnetic objects, such as sections of a tubing string, and measure their respective outer diameters (OD). The sensors detect when any larger OD sections of the tubing string before the larger OD section can collide with one of the well control mechanisms. The sensors direct their outputs to a controller that can identify an imminent collision state. When an imminent collision state is identified, the controller will send commands to stop movement of the tubular to avoid the collision. Movement of the tubular will not resume until the well control mechanism has been actuated to avoid collision with the larger OD section.

  • Publication number: 20190346340
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a coiled-tubing system, a coiled tubing inspection tool and methods for using same. The system comprises coiled tubing that is wound about a coiled tubing reel and a coiled tubing injector head that is connected to an oil-and-gas well above a pressurized zone. The coiled-tubing system also includes the inspection tool that is connected to the well within the pressurized zone. The inspection tool is configured to generate a magnetic field and to detect changes in the magnetic field as a section of coiled tubing approaches, moves through and moves away from the inspection tool. Detecting changes in the magnetic field may be indicative of a damaged section of the coiled tubing.
