  • Publication number: 20190376366
    Abstract: A tubing pressure insensitive failsafe wireline retrievable safety valve, borehole system having the valve and method of operation of the valve. The valve includes a tool housing, a flow tube disposed within the tool housing, an actuation piston disposed in the tool housing and operably connected to the flow tube, the actuation piston having an actuation side and a pressure side, and a fluid pathway between a potential leak site for the valve and the pressure side of the piston. A temporary sealing member is in the fluid pathway between the potential leak site and the pressure side of the piston. The method includes disposing the valve at a selected location and removing at least a portion of the temporary sealing member from the fluid pathway after landing the wireline retrievable safety valve at the selected location.

  • Publication number: 20190338620
    Abstract: A downhole component includes a unitary body having a first end portion, a second end portion and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. The intermediate portion defines an outer surface and an inner surface forming a flow path. An annular chamber has a first end section spaced from a second end section by a gap. The annular chamber is formed in the unitary body spaced from the first end portion, the second end portion, the outer surface, and the inner surface.

  • Publication number: 20190316439
    Abstract: A downhole component has a body including a first end portion, a second end portion and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. The intermediate portion includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a flow path. An axial passage extends radially outwardly of the flow path between the outer surface and the inner surface. A piston is arranged in the axial passage.
