Abstract: The present disclosure provides a modular linear actuated valve having a lower body module that can interface with an interchangeable upper linear actuator module being at least one of a mechanical linear actuator module and a fluid linear actuator module. The invention includes a quick disconnect between the body module and any of the actuator modules. An actuator assembly on the selected actuator module can be coupled to the valve stem on the lower body module using a quick disconnect segment on the actuator module and a reciprocal quick disconnect segment on the body module. A valve can be quickly converted into a mechanical linear actuated valve or a fluid linear actuator valve, simplifying manufacturing and stocking, and providing a faster response to customer orders.

Abstract: A blowout preventer includes a housing, a ram block carrier which moves within the housing, and one or more ram blocks configured to be placed within the ram block carrier. The ram block carrier may include an opening, an upper shelf within the opening configured to hold an upper ram block, and a lower shelf within the opening configured to hold a lower ram block. The housing may include a central bore, cavities on both sides of the bore, and openings which allow ram blocks to access a pipe within the bore.

Abstract: A blowout preventer assembly is provided and is generally configured having an upper housing, a lower housing with a plurality of internally interconnected cylinders, a one piece energizing ring, and a plurality of individual bottom cover plates all enclosing a lower housing column bore for receiving well pipe. The blowout preventer assembly also has a plurality of annular pistons, a plurality of associated glands disposed in each cylinder with each piston, a main seal with a plurality of main seal ribs, an adaptor ring, and various dedicated and associated seals and threaded attachments.

Abstract: A blowout preventer includes a housing including interconnected cylinders formed therein, a main seal positioned within the housing, cylindrical sleeves removably placed within the interconnected cylinders, annular pistons and glands placed within the sleeves; and an energizing ring configured to be operated on by the annular pistons in order to operate the main seal. A blowout preventer may also include an upper gland assembly for isolating a void space within the housing from the interconnected cylinders.
