Patent number: 9353590Abstract: A subterranean debris catcher swirls the incoming debris laden stream by putting grooves or spiral projections on the inside of the inlet pipe. The solids come out of openings in the side of the inlet pipe or the solids can exit near the top either directly into the enclosed solids holding volume as the liquid exits straight out or the solids can be discharged out the end of the inlet pipe into the bigger open space defined by the housing. In the latter case the inside housing wall can have a screen or vanes that slow down the solid particles as the fluid continues to a housing exit and eventually to an exit screen before being discharged to either go to the surface or recirculate back along the outside of the tool to the inlet pipe while picking up additional debris.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Mohan L. Soni, Gerald D. Lynde, Ronnie D. Russell, Jeremy J. Guillory, Steve Rosenblatt

Patent number: 9267357Abstract: A diffuser assembly has pairs of split rings rotationally locked to each other in an alternating array with other pairs of split rings where adjacent pairs are responsive to pressure differential to be biased toward a sliding sleeve or the surrounding housing in an alternating pattern. The split rings are made to have an interference initial fit to the sleeve or housing and the splits on adjacent rings are offset while a relation of a projection to a depression between adjacent rings prevents relative rotation to keep the desired circumferential offset in the splits between adjacent rings. End tapers can bias adjacent pairs in opposed directions responsive to applied differential pressure. The rings are preferably metallic and can have a coating to facilitate relative sliding and enhance durability.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Hai H. Nguyen, Marcus A. Avant, Jeremy J. Guillory, Donald P. Lauderdale, Steve Rosenblatt

Patent number: 8356671Abstract: A tool for use in a wellbore which includes a housing having an axial flow bore and a piston sleeve moveably disposed within the flow bore. The tool is moveable between first and second operating positions by an actuation mechanism having a piston with a ball seat having a partially annular shape with an outer base and a plurality of retaining segments projecting radially inwardly therefrom. The tool can be moved between first and second operating positions with the use of actuating balls of different sizes that can be landed upon the ball seat.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Jeremy J. Guillory, Daniel R. Hart, Gregory L. Hern
