  • Patent number: 9416628
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an activator for a blowout preventer of a wellsite. The blowout preventer includes rams sealingly positionable about a tubular of a wellbore at the wellsite and driven by a circuit. The activator includes a cylinder, a trigger valve operatively connectable between the cylinder and the circuit, a piston, and a timing adjuster. The trigger valve includes a trigger to selectively pilot the circuit. The piston has a piston stroke extending between a retracted position and an extended position. The timing adjuster is engagable by the piston and adjustably positionable about the cylinder to define the retracted position of the piston stroke whereby a length of the piston stroke is adjustably defined.

  • Patent number: 9394758
    Abstract: A valve, system and method for controlling flow of fluid about a wellsite component of a wellsite are provided. The wellsite component has a flowline to pass the fluid therethrough. The valve includes a valve housing, a cage having holes therethrough positionable in selective fluid communication with the flowline, a valve plate operatively connectable between the valve housing and the cage (the valve plate having a sealing surface thereon), and a spool assembly comprising a spool slidably positionable in the cage. The spool assembly is selectively positionable in sealing engagement with the sealing surface of the valve plate to define a sealing interface therebetween, and is movable between an inlet position defining a fluid intake path and an outlet position defining a fluid outtake path whereby the fluid is selectively diverted through the wellsite component.
