Patent number: 8678042Abstract: A spoolable composite tube capable of being spooled onto a reel for storage and for use in oil field applications. The spoolable tube exhibits unique anistropic characteristics that provide improved burst and collapse pressures, increased tensile strength, compression strength, and load carrying capacity, while still remaining sufficiently bendable to be spooled onto a reel in an open bore configuration. The spoolable composite tube can include an inner liner, an interface layer, fiber composite layers, a pressure barrier layer, and an outer protective layer. The fiber composite layers can have a unique triaxial braid structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Fiberspar CorporationInventors: Peter A.

Patent number: 5913337Abstract: A composite tubular member having an outer generally cylindrical member containing fibers oriented to resist internal and external pressure and provide low bending stiffness, and two inner areas of axial reinforcement located near the neutral axis of the composite tubular members containing fibers oriented to provide high axial stiffness, high tensile strength and low bending stiffness; and fibers oriented to resist shear stress, positioned opposite each other within the walls of the outer member. These inner areas define a minor moment of inertia of bending extending diametrically through said inner areas and a major moment of inertia of bending generally orthogonal to said minor moment of inertia. Energy conductors integral to the tubular member are arranged in a plane along the minor moment of inertia formed in the tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1997Date of Patent: June 22, 1999Assignee: Fiber Spar and Ture CorporationInventors: Jerry G.

Patent number: 5525003Abstract: This invention relates to an improved termination connection for advanced fiber composite cables of the type comprised of fibers fixed in a matrix binder. In particular, the composite cable is provided with one or more ribs of tension wound binder impregnated fiber cured on the end portion thereof. Potting material is secured over the ribs at the end of the cable preferably having a parabolically curved outwardly tapered contour to distribute the longitudinal and transverse forces over the fibers in the cable.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1993Date of Patent: June 11, 1996Assignee: Conoco Inc.Inventors: Jerry G.

Patent number: 5469916Abstract: This invention is directed to a system for determining the position and depth of downhole equipment in a wellbore which includes an elongate spoolable composite coiled tubing for running the downhole equipment into the wellbore. The composite coiled tubing string has multiple layers of fibers arranged in a generally cylindrical shape, wherein each layer has a plurality of fibers arranged in a predetermined orientation to form a composite coiled tubing string having sufficient strength to be pushed into and pulled and out of the borehole. A plurality of detectable indicia (such as metallic, magnetic or encoded sections) overlay at least one of the layers of fibers and are integral to the composite coiled tubing string and spaced apart along the length of the tubing string at predetermined distances.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1994Date of Patent: November 28, 1995Assignee: Conoco Inc.Inventors: Alex Sas-Jaworsky, Jerry G. Williams

Patent number: 5363929Abstract: This invention relates to a composite torque shaft for connecting a downhole fluid motor to the drill bit at the end of a drill string. The composite torque shaft comprises an elongate matrix body with oriented fibers fixed therein. The fibers are particularly oriented to provide the composite torque shaft with significant torque strength and stiffness while allowing bending flexibility. Accordingly, the composite torque shaft converts the gyrating and rotating motion of the rotor in the fluid motor to the pure rotation of the drill bit.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1992Date of Patent: November 15, 1994Assignee: Conoco Inc.Inventors: Jerry G. Williams, Monib M. Monib, Mamdouh M. Salama, David H. Schwartz, Edward G. Dew

Patent number: 5348096Abstract: An anisotropically tailored tubular (fabricated of a composite having an unsymmetrical bias of the reinforcing components of the composite and an elasticity of the matrix thereof such that at least one of compression stress along the long axis of the tubular or tension stress along the long axis of the tubular or pressure on the interior of the tubular will cause localized twisting and/or extension and/or bending of the tubular along its long axis) is run into a depth extended aperture while imparting localized twisting and/or extension and/or bending to the tubular along its length during the course of the running by impressing at least one of compression stress along the long axis of the tubular, or tension stress along the long axis of the tubular, or pressure on the interior of the tubular. Frictional resistance to the running is thus decreased by the localized twisting, bending, and/or extension.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1993Date of Patent: September 20, 1994Assignee: Conoco Inc.Inventor: Jerry G. Williams
