  • Publication number: 20240011389
    Abstract: A jet pump for oil production involving extraction by hydraulic lift and consists of jet pump integrally redesigned so that it is traversed by a cable for the control of the recorders of the production variables of the oil well. This control can be performed from the surface, enabling the collection of data related to measurements such as pressure, temperature and flow, both in static conditions of the well, i.e. when the well is not pumping, and in dynamic conditions, i.e. when the well is in production, and also have the security of the recovery of recorded data and measurement tools, known by its acronym MPLT (Memory Production Logging Tools), to determine the productive status of the well and make timely decisions in the management and administration of the same.

  • Publication number: 20220364420
    Abstract: An improved coupling for joining pipes of characteristics in accordance with API standards provides for the extraction of crude oils from oil wells, whose improved characteristics, according to the new procedure, achieve a hermetic design of the coupling and, more specifically, relate to the improvement of the threading in the joints by means of modern systems for the fabrication thereof in both the pipe terminals of the well and in the joining of the rounded threads, with computerised rnanufactuting systems and with the incorporation of a shoulder located interiorly in the coupling to achieve, first, the elimination of free spaces that might cause turbulence within the coupling, and second, to create a hermetic metal-to-metal closure and additionally a flexible hydrogenated nitrogen seal, located behind the shoulder, ensuring the hermetic nature of the joint.

  • Patent number: 11035196
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic device for in situ hermetic sealing of holes, cracks or leaks from joints that occur in underground production tubing used for the extraction of oil, gas or other fluids. In particular, the invention relates to a device comprising an assembly including four sections comprising various securing and anchoring means, and to the method for moving the device in order to detect and locate the site of the leak and to position the device inside the fluid production tubing, such that it remains fixed in place and hermetically seals the damaged section of the production tubing, allowing normal production flow to be resumed.

  • Patent number: 10900325
    Abstract: Casings for the circulation of fluids, used at the bottom of oil wells, applicable in conventional systems for bottom completion in the oil industry are provided. Specifically, modification of the design of the casing in the form of the opening thereof, which is carried out by moving the sliding sleeve downwards, the aim of which is to solve the problem of the accidental closing of the casing as a jet pump enters same.

  • Patent number: 9297239
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump smart device for production of oil, recording of pressure and temperature, temporary closing and leveling of pressure in a single and simple operation is provided. The intelligent hydraulic pumping device includes a jet pump assembly coupled with a bottom shut-off valve and is coupled to a gauge carrier, forming an integrated single-block unit. A bottom shut-off valve is incorporated into to the jet pump and is closed by a system of a plunger and two balls. The recovery of the smart device is generated by the opening of a by-pass on injecting a drive fluid in reverse at a low pressure (approximately 100 to 500 psi).
