  • Annular safety valve pull through device
    Patent number: 10465473
    Abstract: A safety valve with a pre-installed penetration member is disclosed. The penetration member is installed into the safety valve before installing the safety valve in the well. The penetration member is coupled to a cable which communicates with a downhole component, such as a gauge. Pulling the penetration member upward pulls the cable upward through the safety valve.

  • WELLBORE ANNULAR SAFETY VALVE AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20150053415
    Abstract: A well system includes an annular barrier separating the tubing-casing annulus into an upper annulus and a lower annulus and a barrier valve coupled with the annular barrier, the barrier valve permitting one-way fluid communication from the upper annulus to the lower annulus. The annular barrier may include a female polished bore receptacle integrated in the casing and a male seal assembly integrated in the tubing. The tubing bore and an annular fluid conduit extend through the male seal assembly substantially parallel to one another and the barrier valve is connected in the annular fluid conduit.
