  • Insulator apparatus for vacuum insulated tubing
    Patent number: 7845373
    Abstract: An insulating apparatus for use with vacuum insulated tubing sting to reduce heat loss through the joints, where the apparatus includes an insulator adapted to surround the joint and a latching joint protector adapted to surround the insulator and hold the insulator against the joint, where the protector also includes a channel for receiving injection and/or control tubing. The insulator is capable of reducing heat loss through the joints of a vacuum insulated tubing string by as much as 95%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2010
    Inventors: Cole J. Hickman, James H. Cannon
