Publication number: 20240018842Abstract: A hydrocarbon extraction system that includes an erosion control system. The erosion control system includes a housing defining a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet. The housing receives and directs a flow of a particulate laden fluid between the first inlet and the outlet. A conduit rests within the housing. The conduit changes a direction of the particulate laden fluid and reduces erosion of the housing. The conduit is inserted into the housing through the second inlet. The conduit defines a plurality of apertures between an exterior surface and an interior surface of the conduit. The apertures direct the fluid into a conduit cavity. The conduit guides the fluid entering the conduit cavity to the outlet. The erosion control system excludes a plug and/or a sleeve around or in the conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Stuart Robinson, Jerry Martino, Michael Krejci, Abinesh Gnanavelu

Publication number: 20230041790Abstract: A choke gate valve includes a housing that defines a fluid bore and a gate that includes a throttling orifice. The gate is configured to move within the housing between a throttle position in which the gate extends across the fluid bore to position the throttling orifice in the fluid bore to throttle a fluid flow through the fluid bore and an open position in which the gate does not block the fluid bore to enable a full level of the fluid flow through the fluid bore. The choke gate valve may be used as part of a choke gate valve system to transition between first fracturing operations for a first well and second fracturing operations for a second well without shut off of a pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Declan Elliott, Jerry Martino, Muneeb Dogar, Kyle Beaton

Patent number: 11326698Abstract: A disc for a multiple orifice valve includes a disc body and a disc orifice extending through the disc body. A disc surface of the disc body includes a recessed portion and a raised portion that at least partially circumferentially surrounds the recessed portion. The recessed portion is configured not to contact an opposed disc when the disc is assembled within a housing of the multiple orifice valve, and the raised portion is configured to contact the opposed disc when the disc is assembled within the housing of the multiple orifice valve.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: CAMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Scott A.

Patent number: 11293263Abstract: A technique facilitates rapid transitioning of a valve, e.g. a gate valve. According to an embodiment, a system comprises a valve actuator constructed for coupling with a valve to actuate the valve between closed and open positions. Hydraulic actuation fluid may be supplied to the valve actuator under pressure via a hydraulic supply system to enable selective shifting of the valve actuator, and thus the valve, from a closed position to an open position. The system also comprises a dump tank coupled to the valve actuator in a manner to receive hydraulic fluid. In a rapid valve actuation operation, e.g. closing operation, the dump tank receives hydraulic fluid from the valve actuator rather than returning the hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic supply system. This, in turn, enables rapid shifting of the valve actuator and thus rapid shifting of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: CAMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Jermetris McLin, Mark McGilvray, Jr., Jerry Martino, Carl Toups
