  • Publication number: 20190032792
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a choke valve that includes a choke body, a choke trim disposed in the choke body, where the choke trim is configured to adjust a cross-sectional area of a flow path in the choke body to adjust a fluid flow through the choke valve, a needle of the choke trim disposed in the flow path of the fluid flow, where the needle includes a first portion having a superhard material, a seat of the choke trim, where the needle is configured to move along an axis extending through an opening of the seat to adjust the fluid flow through the choke valve.

  • Patent number: 10145205
    Abstract: A system includes a choke valve having a fluid inlet configured to receive a fluid at a first pressure and a fluid outlet configured to output the fluid at a second pressure. The choke valve also includes a fixed component and a movable component defining a throttling orifice between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. Additionally, the movable component is configured to automatically move relative to the fixed component in response to a change in the first pressure to maintain a consistent percent pressure drop between the first pressure at the fluid inlet and the second pressure at the fluid outlet.

  • Patent number: 10007273
    Abstract: A system includes a choke valve, an actuator configured to adjust a position of the choke valve, a variable frequency drive configured to adjust a speed at which the actuator adjusts the position of the choke valve, and a controller configured to receive first feedback indicative of a fluid pressure upstream of the choke valve, compare the first feedback to a first predetermined pressure range, and instruct the variable frequency drive to send electricity to the actuator at a first frequency when the first feedback is outside of the first predetermined pressure range, where the variable frequency drive is configured to control a speed and a direction of the actuator such that the actuator adjusts the position of the choke valve to a first position at a first speed, and where the first speed is based at least on a difference between the first feedback and the first predetermined pressure range.

  • Patent number: 9708886
    Abstract: A system includes a wellhead system, and a flow control system coupled to the wellhead system. The flow control system includes a housing with a flow path between an inlet and an outlet. The flow control system also includes a flow control device disposed in the housing along the flow path. The flow control system also includes a bonnet assembly surrounding the flow control device. The bonnet assembly is configured to selectively mount one of a manual actuator and a powered actuator to actuate the flow control device.

  • Publication number: 20170175906
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fluid-handling component includes forming a liner via an additive manufacturing process and forming a body about the liner via a powder compaction process. The body may be coupled to the liner via diffusion bonds during the powder compaction process. The fluid-handling component may be constructed for use in a mineral extraction system.
