  • Patent number: 12060777
    Abstract: A rotating ball valve may be employed in a liner hanger setting tool. A rotating ball member maintains contact with a valve seat throughout the operation of the rotating ball valve, thereby preventing debris from settling on the valve seat and compromising the integrity of a seal through a fluid flow path defined through the setting tool. The rotating ball valve may be actuated by selectively applying fluid pressure to the flow path, or by mechanical manipulation. Once the fluid flow path is closed, a latch may be activated to maintain the rotating ball valve in the closed configuration and a pressure may be applied against the closed rotating ball member. A downhole movement be induced by the applied pressure to drive an expansion cone through an expandable liner hanger, to secure a liner in the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20220305361
    Abstract: A training apparatus for training a user's grip and strength. A rod element is disposed through a female tube that is disposed at a first end of the rod. The rod extends through a male tube that is inserted into at least a portion of the female tube. A grommet is disposed on the rod, inside the female tube, and abutting the male tube. A fastening means couple to the first end of the rod, mitigating movement of the grommet toward the first end. A tensioner is rotatably attached to a second end of the rod, wherein when the tensioner is rotated clockwise it presses the male tube forward against the grommet, which is compressed between the male tube and fastening means, expanding inside the female tube. The grommet pressing against the inside of the female tube provides a desired resistance for a user rotating an attached training member.

  • Patent number: 11352853
    Abstract: A system and method directed to performing a single trip cementing operation at spaced out locations within a hydrocarbon zone during the construction of a wellbore using a wellbore fluid communication tool. In an embodiment, the tool is deployed on a tubular string above the hydrocarbon zone and comprises a housing including at least one radial port, a seal assembly, an outer sleeve assembly having a door assembly operable to translate across the seal assembly while closed, an inner mandrel and a seat assembly. The tool facilitates the placement of cement within a wellbore annulus from an uphole position in lieu of at the bottom of the wellbore thereby minimizing the pressure required to perform cementing job. At the same time, the ability for the door assembly to translate across the seal assembly while closed ensures the seal is not damaged from repetitive opening and closing of the door assembly.
