Abstract: A sealed coupling for connecting a first section and a second section of a well system is provided. The well system extends along an axis. The sealed coupling includes a first threaded portion, a second threaded portion, and a sealing nib. The first threaded portion is positioned on the first section. The second threaded portion is positioned on the second section. The second threaded portion engages the first threaded portion. The sealing nib is positioned on one of the first section and the second section. The sealing nib protrudes in a radial direction relative to the axis to engage a surface of the other of the first section and the second section.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide for methods and apparatus related to geological carbon capture systems. Aspects disclose methods and apparatus related to back pressure valves protecting geological based carbon capture systems. These methods and apparatus seek to enhance the efficiency and reliability of carbon capture by addressing the operational challenges posed by subsurface pressure variations. By employing advanced back pressure valve mechanisms, the systems ensure controlled injection and containment of carbon dioxide within geological formations, thereby minimizing the risk of leakage and contributing to long-term environmental sustainability.

Abstract: The disclosure herein generally relates to flow Flow control valves for preventing, inhibiting, reducing the likelihood or extent of, and/or protect against erosion or components are provided. The flow control valves provided include various mechanisms to prevent, inhibit, reduce the likelihood or extent of, and/or protect against erosion of components of the flow control valve, for example, due to the effects of leakage flow.

Abstract: A seal may include a seal body, an inner arm protruding from the seal body and configured to mate with an inner surface, the inner arm including: an inner seal protrusion proximate to a distal end of the inner arm, and an inner support protrusion; and an outer arm protruding from the seal body and configured to mate with an outer surface, the outer arm including: an outer seal protrusion proximate to a distal end of the outer arm, and an outer support protrusion, wherein the inner seal protrusion and outer seal protrusion define a seal width, and the inner support protrusion and outer support protrusion define a support width less than the seal width in an uncompressed state.
