Abstract: A system includes a plug assembly having a housing configured to be positioned within a first passageway formed in a wellhead component. A channel is formed in the housing, and the channel is configured to enable fluid to flow from a bore of the wellhead component into the channel. A sensor is supported by the housing and is configured to measure a condition of the fluid within the channel. An annular seal is configured to extend between an outer surface of the housing and an inner surface of a second passageway formed in a flange that circumferentially surrounds at least part of the plug assembly while the flange is coupled to the wellhead component.

Abstract: An integral sensor system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a sensor installed in a carrier and a component having a body for receiving a fluid. The carrier is integrated into the component to enable the sensor to detect one or more characteristics of the fluid, and the carrier is integrated into the component such that an interface between the carrier and the component is a fully integral pressure boundary without a seal connection between the carrier and the component. The carrier can be welded to the component to form the integral pressure boundary. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus that includes a chemical-injection management system. The chemical-injection management system may include a tree interface configured to couple the chemical-injection management system to a tree and a positive-displacement flow meter.

Abstract: Provided is a valve, including an in-line flow passage, a shut-off mechanism, and a multi-stage throttling section disposed in the in-line flow passage. Further provided is an in-line valve, including a flow control component and a sealing component, wherein the flow control component and the sealing component are separate from one another.

Abstract: Various control valves are provided. In one embodiment, a valve includes a hollow body with an inlet and an outlet along a common axis of the hollow body. A trim is disposed inside the hollow body along the common axis and includes a conduit and a sleeve disposed about the conduit to selectively cover fluid ports in the conduit. Further, the valve includes a pressure-balanced stem connected to the sleeve to enable the sleeve to be moved along the conduit via the stem. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A linear actuator is provided. In one embodiment, the actuator includes a motor, a gearbox, and a linear actuation device. The motor serves as a primary input to provide a rotational input to the gearbox, which generates a corresponding rotational output. The linear actuation device converts the rotational output of the gearbox into a linear motion for driving a load in a linear direction. The actuator includes an override system as a secondary input. The override system may be operated to drive the gearbox in the event that the motor becomes non-operational. Anti-back-driving devices may be provided to prevent back-driving of the motor and of the override system. In the context of a resource extraction system, the motor may be an electric motor powered by subsea electronic control system. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A choke having a trim that includes a wedge-shaped member (“wedge”) and a cage with an opening for receiving the wedge. The wedge includes a first surface and a second surface that is angled with respect to the first surface. As the wedge is positioned into the opening of the cage, the space between the second surface and a third surface inside the opening forms a throttling orifice that restricts the flow of fluid. The size of the throttling orifice is variable depending on the position of the wedge relative to the cage. The trim can provide a positive shut-off point that is separate from the throttling area.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a flow control insert having both a choke valve configured to control flow and pressure through the system and a check valve disposed along a fluid flow path along which the fluid flows. In accordance with the present embodiments, the flow control insert couples together the choke valve and the check valve, and the flow control insert is independently insertable and retrievable relative to a flow control housing.

Abstract: A retrievable flow module (RFM) apparatus is provided. In one embodiment, the RFM apparatus is a standalone assembly configured to mate with a subsea device, such as a production tree. The RFM apparatus may include a frame within which various flow control and monitoring elements are disposed. The frame may have an alignment system that enables the RFM apparatus to horizontally mate with the tree. Because the RFM apparatus provides for the collocation of flow control and monitoring elements within a standalone assembly, deployment or retrieval of the flow control and monitoring elements may be accomplished in single operation. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
