Patent number: 8881825Abstract: A gas lift barrier valve mandrel assembly includes a longitudinally extending tubular member that defines a production conduit and has a central longitudinal axis. A side pocket mandrel has a first pocket for accepting a gas lift barrier valve and has a first central axis. The side pocket mandrel has a second pocket for accepting a gas lift barrier valve and has a second central axis. The central axis of the production conduit, first axis and second axis are non-coaxial and are parallel to one another. A first passage fluidly connects an outside of the mandrel to an inside of the first pocket. A second passage fluidly connects the inside of the first pocket to an inside of the second pocket. A third passage fluidly connects the inside of the second pocket to the production conduit. A fourth passage connects the first pocket to the production conduit and allows insertion of a gas lift barrier into the first pocket.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Thomas M. White, Wayne J. Mabry, Jason Kamphaus, Tyson Messick, Eric Lovie, Kenneth C. Burnett, III

Patent number: 7967075Abstract: A kickover tool for placing and extracting a valve in a mandrel having a hydraulic piston, a kickover arm portion mechanically connected to the hydraulic piston, the kickover arm portion being actuated by application of pressure to the piston. Upon full stoke of the piston, pressure is relieved, and measurement of the pressure relief can be used to indicate proper placement in a side pocket mandrel.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Arunkumar Arumugam, Tyson Messick, Steven Anyan, Kenneth C.

Patent number: 7886835Abstract: A kickover tool is for placing and extracting a valve in a mandrel having a tool body extending in a longitudinal direction and having a hydraulic piston chamber therein. A hydraulic piston is located inside the hydraulic piston chamber. A kickover arm portion is mechanically connected to the hydraulic piston, the kickover arm portion comprising a kickover arm having a tool portion. The kickover arm has a non-kicked-over position where the kickover arm is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal direction and a kicked-over position where the kickover arm is substantially non-coaxial with the longitudinal direction. The kickover arm moves to the kicked-over position upon extension of the hydraulic piston.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Arunkumar Arumugam, Tyson Messick, Steven Anyan, Kenneth C.

Patent number: 7832486Abstract: A gas lift valve has a flow restrictor, a valve part on one side of the flow restrictor, a flow deflector and a tubular member on another side of the flow restrictor, and a flapper valve on the side of the flow restrictor where the tubular member is located, the flapper valve being adjacent to the tubular member. When fluid flows into the gas lift valve at sufficient pressure, the valve part opens, the fluid flows through the flow restrictor and acts on the flow diverter thereby moving the tubular member and opening the flapper valve. The tubular member extends though the opening the flapper valve covered.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Thomas White, James Garner, David McCalvin, Tyson Messick, Fahd F. Abdelall, Kenneth C. Burnett, III

Patent number: 7451810Abstract: A kickover tool is disclosed for installing and retrieving a well flow control device from a side pocket mandrel in a wellbore. The kickover tool includes a spring-loaded key which has an outer circumferential surface having a predetermined machined pattern formed therein. Each side pocket mandrel in the tubing string contains a profile having a predetermined machined pattern. The spring-loaded key will engage the side pocket mandrel with a profile matching the pattern on the outer circumferential surface of the spring-loaded key. When that engagement occurs, the articulated arm of the kickover tool is permitted to be deployed to insert a well flow control device in the side pocket of the side pocket mandrel.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Elijah D. Jackson, Michael S. Lane, Tyson Messick, Kenneth C. Burnett, III

Publication number: 20070215358Abstract: An apparatus that is usable with a well includes a gas lift valve and an isolation member. The gas lift valve includes a valve element that is located between an annulus and a passageway of a tubing. The valve element is adapted to selectively open and close to control fluid communication through the valve element. The isolation member is adapted to in a first state, isolate the valve element from at least one of the annulus and the passageway and in a second state, permit fluid communication between the valve element and the annulus or passageway.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Tyson Messick, Thomas White, Kenneth Burnett
