  • Patent number: 10392900
    Abstract: A technique facilitates mechanical operation of components, e.g. valves, without utilizing electronics at the components or control lines routed to the components. An actuation control system is fully mechanical in the sense that it is constructed to mechanically shift to different control positions via pressure input, such as pressure input supplied along a wellbore annulus. The actuation control system utilizes a spool valve coupled with a pilot control circuit which establishes a reference pressure that can be used in shifting the spool valve to different operational positions.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190249504
    Abstract: In accordance to one or more aspects of the disclosure an indexing track for controlling a dual valve assembly includes a plurality of interconnected pressure-up and pressure-down slots that define sequence paths to translate the pin and to actuate the dual valve assembly to a first position when the pin is in a first track position, to a second position when the pin is in a mid-track position, and a third position when the pin is in a third track position.

  • Publication number: 20160084019
    Abstract: A slip joint assembly that is usable with a well includes first, second and third tubular housing sections; and first and second mandrels. The first tubular housing section is adapted to connect to a first tubing string segment; the second tubular housing section is adapted to connect to a second tubing string segment; the third tubular housing section disposed between the first and second tubular housing sections; the first mandrel forms a slidable connection with the first tubular housing section; and the second mandrel forms a slidable connection with the second tubular housing section.
