  • Patent number: 11530592
    Abstract: In one of its example aspects the technology disclosed herein concerns a wellhead lubricator. In an example embodiment and mode the wellhead lubricator comprises a yoke housing; a first clamp; a second clamp; and, an extensible actuator. The yoke housing comprises a first end configured for connection to a barrel housing and a second end configured for connection to a wellhead. The yoke housing defines a yoke cavity through which a barrel rod extends along an axis of the yoke cavity. The first clamp is situated in the yoke cavity and is configured for selective engagement with the barrel rod. The second clamp is also situated in the yoke cavity and is configured for selective engagement with the barrel rod. The extensible actuator is connected to at least one of the first clamp and the second clamp. The extensible actuator, the first clamp, and the second clamp are configured to be operated in coordinated manner to provide translation of the barrel rod along the axis of the yoke cavity.

  • Publication number: 20160208586
    Abstract: A technique facilitates miming of casing strings in a multilateral well. A conductor tube may be placed into a hole formed in a seabed. A plurality of oriented casings is deployed in the conductor tube and the oriented casings have a specific exit angle and azimuthal orientation. The orientation of each oriented casing is used to direct a corresponding drilling of a borehole and placement of a casing in the borehole in a manner which does not interfere with other boreholes and casings.

  • Patent number: 8881817
    Abstract: A downhole tool having a cylindrical body, a sleeve having a contact portion disposed on a distal end, and a cutter having a radiused portion on a top surface operatively engageable with the contact portion. Also, a method of cutting drill pipe, the method including disposing a cutting tool in a wellbore around the drill pip and actuating a radiused cutter of the cutting tool, wherein the actuating includes radially extending the cutter into contact with the drill pipe. The method also includes applying a substantially constant force between the cutter and the drill pipe and rotating the cutting tool. Additionally, a cutter for a drill pipe cutting tool, the cutter including a work surface located at a first end of the cutter, an attachment point located at a second end of the cutter, and a radiused surface located between the work surface and the attachment point.
