Abstract: The plug in, re-useable field-attachable wellhead penetrator provides an economic means of attachment of continuous electrical conductors through a wellhead. A rubber seal and non-ferromagnetic guide are retained on the upper end of the mandrel allowing the conductors extending there through to be connected to electrical sockets then inserted in an insulating block. Epoxy can be used within the mandrel and is easily removed because the inner diameter of the mandrel is coated with tetrafluoroethylene or other slick coatings.

Abstract: A packer penetrator seals each of a plurality of tubes within an enclosed penetrator body having a seal against the tubes and a seal against a seal bushing enclosing each of the plurality of the tubes. The method of installing this assembly whereby a manifold bushing is fed over the tubes and seated into the packer penetrator, then the penetrator is sealed using one or more rings with a top seal by tightening down a manifold bushing nut. Each tube is then sealed by passing it through the top seal and either sealed using a ferrule and nut seal or a top-hat and nut seal. Thus, each electrical conductor in the tube is sealed, and the packer penetrator is also sealed against the elements.

Abstract: An electrical interconnect system which allows electrical service to be provided to an ESP suspended on coiled tubing without exiting the wellhead at the top of the well head structure, with three aligned plugs into which is inserted an exterior plug providing each leg of the electrical service to the ESP within the well.

Abstract: A packer penetrator assembly comprised of a proximal mandrel, an intermediate mandrel and a distal mandrel that can be quickly and efficiently assembled while preventing the migration of gases or fluids up the ESP cable through a well bore packer. These ESP cables can be spliced to power cables passing through a wellbore packer, a sealed electrical connection at a packer assembly. The packer penetrator also offers an adaptive or male to female crossover assembly that allows use of power cables of differing diameters and styles to be joined.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dis-connectable wellhead hanger arrangement permitting a pig tail set of a electrical conductors to be inserted within the wellhead hanger arrangement which seals against the wellhead hanger upon separation of an electrical power cable. If the power cable separates from the production tubing for any reason, the compressively fit plugs disconnect the power cable from the pathway leaving the electrical mandrel sealed within the wellhead hanger, thereby sealing the wellhead hanger from loss of fluid after separation.

Abstract: An epoxy sealant confined around a transition seal body system for a down hole electric cable transition from a protected cable to separate conductors of a three-phase electrical service provides a vapor and pressure seal, preventing premature failure from temperature and pressure changes in the wellbore. The use of epoxy to completely surround the transition seal body within the penetrator mandrel permits field installation of continuous electrical conductors from a wellbore through a pressure sealing wellhead to the surface.

Abstract: A connector permitting the surface splicing of two electric power cables in adverse weather conditions provides a sufficient dielectric cover to prevent shorting or grounding out of the connection. A dielectric tube or sleeve having means for either a threaded or snapping connection with a cap, which is fitted over one or two electric power cables. The body after being filled with dielectric grease or silicone provides a radiused surface at each end to permit the cables to be inserted or removed quickly and efficiently. The capped end or ends can then be further weatherproofed with an additional exterior cap over the tube.

Abstract: A triple-sealed ESP connection provides a first seal at the upper end of a coiled tubing to limit the migration of vapors from the interior of the coiled tubing into the annulus at a wellhead and a second seal to prevent migration of the vapors from the annulus of the wellhead to the exterior surface of the wellhead. This triple-sealed arrangement can be accomplished by providing a threaded connection on an upper end of the coiled tubing to which is attached the sealable shroud for the electrical conductor splice which sealably connects with the wellhead thereby providing a sealed upper end to the coiled tubing and a second seal on the shroud and a seal at the wellhead. The second seal in both cases is the seal that can be either a metal-to-metal or other type of compressive seal arrangement or a sealed tubing arrangement.

Abstract: An economical connection to the electrical conductors extending from a wellhead penetrator is disclosed allowing several forms of connection using a flexible fitting attached to the wellhead enclosing the conductors extending out of the wellhead and allowing the connection to the surface conductors. Because of the flexibility of the braided fitting attached to the tubular connector sleeve, the splice of the electrical conductors can be accomplished quickly and efficiently.

Abstract: An epoxy sealant combined with a transition seal body system for a down hole electric cable transition from a protected cable to separate conductors of three-phase electrical service provides an effective vapor and pressure seal preventing premature failure from temperature and pressure changes in the well bore. The use of epoxy completely surrounding the transition seal body within the penetrator mandrel permits safe and effective field installation of continuous electrical conductors from a wellbore through a pressure sealing wellhead to the surface that is easier to install and more protective than previous mechanical connections.

Abstract: The connector arrangement attaches the electrical conductors of a standard electrical submersible pump (ESP) cable to a mineral insulated (MI) resistance heater cable for use in oil and gas wells by conductively joining one or more of the electrical conductors of the ESP cable to a cold lead of the MI heater cable within an insulated sleeve covered and sealed within a protective cover. The connector thereby allows the MI heater cable and ESP pump cable to be joined to production tubing and then lowered into the well bore to the desired location.

Abstract: An electrical splice, resistant to decompression failure for use in gassy hydrocarbon wells, is segmented thereby permitting the installation of the splice quickly and efficiently. The segmented cable splice provides a passage into which is inserted an electrical crimping union which provides a detent to engage a ridge on the interior passage of the segmented sleeve. When each sleeve is complete, the exterior surface of the complete splice is either cylindrical or flat; and covered by protective transition covers having epoxy encapsulating each contained conductor line back to the armored cover, thereby providing mechanical protection and inhibiting movement of the spliced conductors within the splice connection.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an effective seal and connector that maintain a removable mechanical and electrical connection between any two down hole power cables, despite cable movement and well pressure. The connector preferably includes a fluid seal comprised an encasing material that surrounds and/or adheres to protective tubing encapsulating an electrical cable's conductor wires. The encasing material may also surround and/or adhere to the conductive wire's insulation to prevent its outward expansion during well pressure events. The connector's fluid seal also comprises a relatively rigid connection between the connector's protective outer sleeve and the protective tubing encapsulating the conductor wire.
