Patent number: 11753880Abstract: The present disclosure provides a winch overload protection system, a workover system, and a method for operating a workover system. The winch overload protection system, in one embodiment, includes an overload detection unit operable to detect when a load on a winch of a workover system exceeds a safety load limit. The winch overload protection system, in this embodiment, further includes an overload control unit configured to receive an overload signal from the overload detection unit, and in response thereto release a brake on the winch.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael Stephen Oser, Mickie James Theriot, Robert Alexander Lyons, Jr.

Patent number: 11359992Abstract: A coiled tubing system includes a coiled tubing unit with a coiled tubing string carried by the unit, the coiled tubing string having a stinger end; an injector support frame having an upper and lower ends; a coiled tubing injector disposed at the upper end of the support frame and engaging the coiled tubing string; and a loading device supported between the coiled tubing injector and the lower end of the frame, the loading device attached to the stinger end of the coiled tubing string. The system may include a riser tube disposed between the upper end of the frame and the loading device, coupling a housing of the loading device to a base of the coiled tubing injector, the coiled tubing string extending through the riser. The system may include a support device supporting the loading device, the support device pivotally supporting the loading device relative to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael Stephen Oser, Robert Eugene Domann, Mickie James Theriot, Harley Wayne Jones, II

Patent number: 11091971Abstract: A downhole tool includes a hydraulically operated actuation device to actuate the downhole tool and a control system that regulates flow of hydraulic fluid to the actuation device. The control system includes a pilot module and a power module. The power module has a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve fluidly coupled to a pressure source and a fluid return. The power module is fluidly coupled to the actuation device at an output line and a power line. A first power module check valve is arranged in the power line, a second power module check valve is arranged in a control pressure return line fluidly coupled to the fluid return, a first input communicates with the first solenoid valve, and a second input communicates with the second solenoid valve. A pilot-operated check valve is actuatable in response to a pilot signal to drain hydraulic fluid from the power module.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael Stephen Oser, Robert Howard, Desmond Jones
