  • Patent number: 10450822
    Abstract: A system includes a hanger locking assembly configured to lock a hanger within a housing of a wellhead. The hanger locking assembly includes an energizing ring having one or more axially-extending passageways configured to receive and to support one or more control lines. An anti-rotation element extends between the energizing ring and the hanger to block rotational movement of the energizing ring relative to the hanger. A locking ring is in contact with the energizing ring, and axial movement of the energizing ring relative to the hanger drives the locking ring radially to engaged position in which the locking ring extends into a corresponding recess of the housing of the wellhead to block axial movement of the hanger relative to the wellhead.

  • Patent number: 10378291
    Abstract: A system includes a wear bushing retrieval tool. The wear bushing retrieval tool an annular main body configured to be disposed about a tubular string, a plurality of locking dogs, wherein each locking dog of the plurality of locking dogs is pivotably coupled to the annular main body, a first axial securement feature coupled to the annular main body, and a second axial securement feature coupled to the main body, wherein the first and second axial securement features are configured to cooperatively axially capture a coupling of the tubular string when the annular main body is disposed about the tubular string.

  • Patent number: 7062960
    Abstract: The consequences of any failure of a blow out preventer assembly to operate correctly in an emergency can be far reaching. Thus, there is provided an apparatus for registering parameters in the bore of a member which is, in use, connected to a pressurised housing, the apparatus comprising: an electro-control package for attachment, in use, to the member; a test assembly placed, in use, in the member; the electro-control package and the test assembly having means for sending signals to and receiving signals from one another.
