  • Patent number: 11920416
    Abstract: A wellbore system includes an adapter configured to couple to a downhole component. The wellbore system also includes a retrieval tubular, having a bore extending therethrough. The wellbore system further includes a piston assembly coupled to the retrieval tubular, wherein the bore is in fluid communication with a cavity of the piston assembly. The wellbore system includes a stem configured to couple to a casing section, the casing section being supported by a hanger. The wellbore system also includes a sleeve forming at least a portion of the piston assembly, the sleeve configured to couple to the adapter such that, responsive to a force applied by the piston at the casing section, the sleeve applies an upward force to the adapter.

  • Patent number: 10458198
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a test dart for wellbore pressure isolation. The test dart includes a body extending from a first end to a second end, the body having a bore extending therethrough, a diameter of the bore being greater at a first end than the second end. The test dart also includes a groove formed proximate the first end and extending radially outward from the bore and into the body. Additionally, the test dart includes an anti-rotation pin positioned between the groove and the second end, the anti-rotation pin extending radially outward from the body. The test dart further includes a check valve positioned in the bore, the check valve enabling flow in a single direction and being moveable between an open position to enable the flow and a closed position to block the flow.

  • Patent number: 8936098
    Abstract: A casing annulus remediation hose assembly having a hose with an inlet in selective fluid communication with a fluid supply and an exit connected to a nozzle. On the nozzle is an insertion tip for facilitating insertion and retrieval of the hose assembly in and out of an annulus in a wellhead assembly. The insertion tip has an outer annular flexible housing that is coaxially attached to the nozzle and spherical weighted members arranged in series in the housing. A cable extends coaxially from a downstream end of the nozzle and through each weighted member.

  • Publication number: 20120205111
    Abstract: A reinforced wellhead member for use during fracing operations. The wellhead member is preloaded at a flange section by creating compressive stresses via a ring that interacts with a tightening nut on a bolt. The bolt is rigidly attached to an adapter which may also be modified to create stresses on the flange of the wellhead member. The induced stresses counter the tensile stresses experienced by the flange during fracing operations, allowing a standard wellhead member to be utilized.

  • Publication number: 20070079990
    Abstract: A wellhead system diverter spool contains an internal sleeve that can be axially shifted internal to the spool with a handling tool. The sleeve permits access to outlets in the spool when required. When higher pressures are required, the internal sleeve is shifted downward to close off access to the outlets without change out of equipment or changing the BOP stack riser system. The low pressure lines connected to the outlets can remain installed but are isolated from the higher pressure BOP stack pressures.

  • Publication number: 20050284640
    Abstract: An outer tubing hanger is secured to an outer string of tubing and landed in a wellhead housing. A Christmas tree is connected to the wellhead housing. While in a first mode, an isolation tube extends between the tree and the outer tubing hanger for conveying well fluid flowing up the outer string of tubing. The isolation tube is removed while in a second mode, and an inner tubing hanger secured to an inner string of tubing lands in the outer tubing hanger production passage. An upper portion of the inner tubing hanger extends into sealing engagement with the tree production passage for flowing well fluid up the inner string of tubing while in the second mode.
