Patent number: 9297218Abstract: A centralizer assembly having a tubular body member with upper and lower channels extending around the external surface of said central tubular body member. A bow spring assembly having bow spring members is installed around the outer surface of the tubular body member and can rotate about the outer surface of the central tubular body member. Bow spring heel supports prevent the bow spring members from contacting the outer surface of the central tubular member when compressed. Non-abrasive materials prevent damage to wellhead or other polished bore receptacles. A robust bolster frame protects the centralizer assembly during shipping, storage or other periods of non-use.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLCInventors: J.

Publication number: 20130292135Abstract: An apparatus for launching objects, such as during casing cementing operations, in wells having dual gradient fluid systems or certain downhole internal diameter restrictions. A launching assembly is located below a dual gradient valve or other restriction. In one embodiment, control lines extend from the earth's surface to the launching assembly and control actuation of the launching assembly. In an alternative embodiment, a receptacle assembly is positioned above a dual gradient valve or other restriction, with control lines extending from the receptacle assembly to the launching assembly. A dart or other triggering object is launched from the earth's surface to the receptacle assembly in order to control actuation of the launching assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventors: J.

Publication number: 20080110625Abstract: A method and apparatus for cementing an annulus wellbore is described herein. The apparatus includes an internally radiused portion of a sleeve adapted for increasing the compressive strength of a compound for securing a valve in the sleeve. The internally radiused portion prevents the apparatus from leaking during operation. The apparatus is manufactured using one pass of a milling tool. The apparatus is run into a wellbore. A cementing operation in performed past the apparatus. The apparatus then prevents the cement from entering a downhole tubular.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Inventors: Jeffrey James Arcement, John E. Hebert, William L. Brunet, Joseph J. Boudreaux

Patent number: 6622795Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a flow-actuated valve for use in a wellbore. The invention includes a body having a closing member and a seat. The closing member and seat are separable to open and close the valve, thereby allowing the flow of fluid through the valve. The invention further includes a retainer to initially retain the valve in the open position absent a predetermined fluid flow rate in a first direction for a predetermined time period. A biasing member thereafter urges the valve to the closed position, absent another fluid flow rate in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Weatherford/Lamb, Inc.Inventors: John E. Hebert, Joseph J. Boudreaux, David F. Laurel, Scott A. Darby
