Abstract: A wellhead clamp for elastically deforming a wellhead housing to grip a wellhead hanger is provided. In one embodiment, a wellhead clamp (50) includes a first energizing ring (56), a second energizing ring (54), compression segments (52) positioned between the two energizing rings, and segment retainers (80) fastened to the compression segments and to the energizing rings. The segment retainers retain the compression segments between the energizing rings and hold the energizing rings apart in an expanded arrangement that allows the compression segments to be in a radially retracted position that facilitates running of the wellhead clamp onto the wellhead housing (20). A setting tool (110) can be used to apply a setting load to the wellhead clamp. The setting tool can be a hydraulic setting tool with pistons (132, 178), which may be bidirectional pistons in some instances, to apply the setting load. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for an interactive user interface portal. A specially trained predictive model may detect user interface (e.g., webpage, application, etc.) configurations and recommend a multiple array of entities and services (e.g., healthcare providers/networks, treatment services, etc.). Communication with the entities and services may be facilitated via an interactive portal embedded in the user interface. The entities and services may be identified with respect to user preferences/intent and with consideration of location-based regulations/restrictions. Changes and updates to the user interface may be detected and any services and/or utilities associated with and/or necessitated by the changes and updates may be linked to the interactive portal.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a valve coupled to a pressure-containing component of a wellhead assembly. The pressure-containing component can include a hollow body, a bore within the hollow body, and an access passage that is in the hollow body and is in fluid communication with the bore. The valve can include a sealing element that is positioned along the access passage and is selectively moveable between closed and open positions to control fluid flow through the access passage. During operation, the sealing element may be moved between the closed and open positions without actuating the sealing element through an outer end of the access passage. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Fracturing systems with frac valves for controlling flow of fracturing fluid are provided. In one embodiment, a fracturing apparatus includes a frac valve having a housing with a bore to convey fracturing fluid, a seal disposed within the bore, and an actuator coupled to control movement of the seal.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon extraction system that includes an erosion control system. The erosion control system includes a housing defining a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet. The housing receives and directs a flow of a particulate laden fluid between the first inlet and the outlet. A conduit rests within the housing. The conduit changes a direction of the particulate laden fluid and reduces erosion of the housing. The conduit is inserted into the housing through the second inlet. The conduit defines a plurality of apertures between an exterior surface and an interior surface of the conduit. The apertures direct the fluid into a conduit cavity. The conduit guides the fluid entering the conduit cavity to the outlet. The erosion control system excludes a plug and/or a sleeve around or in the conduit.
