Publication number: 20160319494Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method comprising a portable mastic sealer production process which allows an operator to locate the mastic sealer production equipment in the vicinity of the roadway worksite. The apparatus comprises two mobile trailers, one comprising the clay plant and the other comprising the mastic plant. The clay plant is a trailer based mobile mixing plant with a mixing tank for mixing proportioning and mixing a clay slurry which is then stored in a clay slurry storage tank. The mastic plant is a trailer based mobile mixing plant which mixes the clay slurry received from the mobile clay mixing plant with polymers, aggregate and other desired additives to form the mastic sealant. The mixed sealant is then transferred to a finished mastic storage tank or spraying equipment to provide an available supply of mastic sealant for operations at the roadway worksite.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2016Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: Gary Henry Foster, Gary Randall Foster, Rodney Glendall Foster

Patent number: 9376889Abstract: A downhole valve assembly operable to control production fluid flow around an obstruction in a production tubing string. The obstruction may be caused by another valve or valve assembly located in the production tubing string, where the valve is closed and blocks flow through the production tubing. The downhole valve assembly comprises a tubular body that includes an axial passage extending through the body and one or more ports extending substantially radially through the body. The downhole valve assembly also includes one or more actuating members operable to move relative to the body. Movement of the actuating members selectively opens the ports such that a fluid flow path through the ports is defined between an annulus region outside of the valve assembly and the axial passage such that the blockage can be bypassed.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Halliburton Manufacturing & Services LimitedInventors: Michael Adam Reid, Gary Henry Smith

Patent number: 9376891Abstract: An actuating apparatus for a downhole valve including a tubular body. The tubular body includes an axial bore that extends through the body. An inlet port extends radially and at least partially through the tubular body. When open, the inlet port is arranged to be in fluid communication with a region uphole of the actuating apparatus. The actuating apparatus also includes an actuating member that is operable by application of fluid pressure from a region uphole of the actuating apparatus via an open inlet port to actuate the valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Halliburton Manufacturing & Services LimitedInventors: Michael Adam Reid, Gary Henry Smith
