  • Publication number: 20240052709
    Abstract: A well completion pipe has a plurality of pipe joints, each comprising an outer pipe, an intermediate layer disposed inside the outer pipe and an inner pipe disposed inside the layer. The inner pipe extends longitudinally beyond a respective longitudinal end of the outer pipe or the outer pipe extends longitudinally beyond a respective longitudinal end of the inner pipe. The inner pipe and the outer pipe comprise respective threaded connections at each longitudinal end. The respective threaded connections form a metal to metal seal when engaged to corresponding mating threads. A pressure isolated passageway extends through the intermediate layer. In some embodiments, the inner pipe comprises well casing. In some embodiments, the outer pipe comprises a well completion tubular.

  • Patent number: 9593536
    Abstract: A casing drilling system includes combination conduit of a casing and a pipe inside the casing. A first adapter has a flow diverter to redirect at least flow of drilling fluid returning from a bottom of a wellbore to either an interior of the pipe or an annular space between the casing and the pipe. A second adapter has a flow diverter to redirect flow of drilling fluid into the conduit through the other one of the interior of the pipe and the annular space. The second adapter has a fluid connection between either the interior of the pipe or the annular space and a rotationally fixed fluid outlet. The system includes a casing chuck having means to support the casing and a slidable conduit operable to expose an uppermost end of the casing and a connection between the second adapter and an uppermost end of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 8720543
    Abstract: A sealing system between a relatively rotating element and a stationary element has at least three sealing elements arranged between the rotating element and the stationary element and arranged in series between a process fluid and an environment, and a barrier fluid arrangement to provide a barrier fluid to spaces formed between the sealing elements. The barrier fluid arrangement has at least two compensator devices where under use the pressure in the process fluid is acting on one side of a piston in the compensator device and the pressure in the barrier fluid is acting on the opposite side of the piston. There is a difference between cross sectional areas of the two sides of the piston and the difference varies between the at least two compensator devices.
