Patent number: 9624745Abstract: There is provided a downhole umbilical release assembly comprising a guillotine arrangement provided by a guillotine alignment sub (12) and a guillotine mandrel (16). The guillotine alignment sub has a first edge (27) over which an umbilical is positioned in a wellbore string. The guillotine mandrel is positioned radially outwardly of the guillotine alignment sub and is arranged to move longitudinally with respect thereto. The guillotine mandrel has a second edge (29) that is arranged to pass over the first edge (27) of the guillotine alignment sub during longitudinal movement of the guillotine mandrel relative to the guillotine alignment sub. This severs an umbilical positioned between the two edges (27,29).Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Oil Tools of NorwayInventors: Espen Sørbø, Tommy Lofthus
