  • Publication number: 20040173348
    Abstract: The invention provides a casing adapter tool which connects and seals to a casing pipe at its lower end and to production or service equipment at its upper end, and is used with well servicing equipment, such as is involved in fracturing. The casing adapter tool includes a generally tubular casing adapter body having an upper end and a lower end, and is formed with a central bore extending therethrough. The central bore provides a profile which forms a casing seal chamber at the lower end, and a barrier seal chamber located thereabove. The barrier seal chamber is formed with a profile to accommodate and seal to a first removable pressure barrier on removal of any well servicing equipment. Most preferably, the barrier seal chamber has a profile sized to provide full bore access to the casing pipe and to accommodate and seal to the first removable pressure barrier which is of a threaded, latched or snap ring type check valve or plug.

  • Patent number: 6688386
    Abstract: This invention provides a tubing hanger system which isolates production tubing from a power cable, protects the cable from high pressure, and enables pressure testing of the production and cable seals. A tubing hanger member is seated in a tubing head to seal against a central bore, and a tubing head adapter is fastened above the tubing head. The tubing head adapter and the tubing hanger member form a tubing port and a cable port. A tubing seal-off nipple connects and seals the tubing port in each of the tubing head adapter and the tubing hanger member, and a cable seal-off nipple connects and seals the cable port in each of the tubing head adapter and the tubing hanger member. Seals are provided between the cable and cable port in the tubing hanger member, and between the cable and cable port in the tubing head adapter.

  • Publication number: 20030136556
    Abstract: This invention provides a tubing hanger system which permits isolation of the production tubing from the electrical power cable, thereby isolating the electrical power cable from high pressures encountered in the production tubing. Further, the tubing hanger system enables pressure testing of the integrity of both the production and cable seals, without requiring disassembly of any components of the tubing hanger assembly or damaging the electrical power cable, in advance of high pressure operations. Specifically, the invention provides a tubing hanger assembly for use in a tubing head of a production well, and which provides for passage of production fluids from the production tubing mounted therebelow, through a central bore in the tubing head and through the tubing hanger assembly, while also providing isolation of the production tubing from an electrical power cable passing through the tubing hanger assembly.
