US Patent:
20100294482, Nov 25, 2010
Filed:
Jan 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/863253
Inventors:
Raul Araujo - Houston TX, US
Alexander Michael McAuley - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
CAMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 33/06
E21B 33/12
US Classification:
166 854, 166116
Abstract:
A variable bore packer used in a blowout preventer to form a seal against different diameter tubular members for oil and gas drilling operations. The variable bore packer includes a packer member molded of elastomeric material with certain mechanical properties and including an inside curved surface. The packer also includes a plurality of packer inserts molded within the packer member to form an insert array. Additionally, the packer includes a protrusion extending from and bonded to the packer member inside curved surface, the protrusion including increased mechanical properties compared to the packer member. The packer member, the insert array, and the protrusion are molded into a unitary structure and sized to form a seal against the different diameter tubular members upon closure of the blowout preventer. Also, the insert array and the protrusion diminishing extrusion of the elastomeric material between the packer inserts and the tubular members.

Pressure Regulator For Fluid Hammer Reduction

US Patent:
20210325915, Oct 21, 2021
Filed:
Jul 1, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/365457
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
Alexander McAuley - Houston TX, US
David Kindt - Houston TX, US
Zachary Stewart - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Hydril USA Distribution LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
G05D 16/02
E21B 33/064
E21B 34/16
F16K 11/07
F16K 31/122
E21B 33/06
F16K 31/124
Abstract:
A method of reducing hydraulic shock in a BOP system including a pressure regulator having an input port and an output port, and a regulator piston that moves between an open and a closed position based on a change in hydraulic pressure applied to the regulator piston via a pilot port. The method includes initiating a function, and monitoring the state of the function as it is carried out to predict when the function nears the end of its cycle. The method also includes, when the function reaches a predetermined state, adjusting the hydraulic pressure on the regulator piston via the pilot port to gradually move the regulator piston between the open to the closed position to reduce fluid flow through the fluid path in a controlled manner to reduce hydraulic shock.

Assignee:
Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
H02G 3/08
E21B 17/02
H02G 1/10
Abstract:
A subsea wiring apparatus includes a housing having a cavity extending from a first end to a second end. The apparatus also includes an electrical connector arranged within the cavity, the electrical connector receiving at least one conductor. The apparatus further includes a separator extending at least partially into the cavity, wherein the separator receives the at least one conductor and directs the at least one conductor into a passage. The apparatus also includes an isolating material within the cavity, the isolating material extending from the first end to the second end, wherein the isolating material surrounds at least a portion of the conductor to block fluid communication with the conductor.

Temperature Based Leak Detection For Blowout Preventers

US Patent:
20200340879, Oct 29, 2020
Filed:
Apr 29, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/397384
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
Alexander McAuley - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01M 3/00
E21B 33/06
Abstract:
A system for blowout prevention includes one or more components controlled at least in part by hydraulics, an inlet line fluidly coupled to receive a pressurized fluid from a hydraulic source, and a plurality of delivery lines fluidly coupled to the inlet line and providing hydraulic fluid to the one or more components. The blowout preventer further includes a temperature control device located on the inlet line, wherein the temperature control device creates a differential between the temperature of a fluid inside the inlet line at the location of the temperature control device and an ambient temperature. The blowout preventer further includes a plurality of temperature sensors located on the plurality of delivery lines at different positions, the plurality of temperature sensors configured to measure the temperature of the delivery line at the respective positions.

Failsafe System And Method For Reducing Load In A Hydraulic Cylinder

View page
US Patent:
20170138377, May 18, 2017
Filed:
Nov 13, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/941259
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
Eric Dale Larson - Houston TX, US
Jamie Clay Gamble - Houston TX, US
Wayne Harvey - Houston TX, US
Alexander McAuley - Houston TX, US
Juan Pedro Trevino - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
F15B 15/14
Abstract:
A mechanism to reduce load of a hydraulic cylinder having a body, a stem movable within the body, and a piston rod connected to the stem. The mechanism includes a mechanism body attached to the body and defining a recess, and a retainer attached to the mechanism adjacent the opening of the recess so that the retainer substantially fills the opening of the recess, and having an aperture that receives an end of the piston rod. The mechanism further includes a cap attached to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder within the recess, the cap having a diameter greater than the diameter of the aperture in the retainer, and a spring connected to the cap at a first end and to the retainer at a second end so that as the piston rod moves relative to the failsafe mechanism body, to reduce load transfer between the piston rod and the cylinder body.

Hydraulic Valve Arrangement For Blowout Preventer

US Patent:
20160177654, Jun 23, 2016
Filed:
Dec 16, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/971669
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
Alexander McAuley - Houston TX, US
Zachary William Stewart - Houston TX, US
Daniel Carrera - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
E21B 33/064
F16K 31/06
Abstract:
A subsea blowout preventer control system has horizontally oriented solenoid valve housings. Solenoid valves mounted within each of the solenoid valve housings are electrically controlled to selectively provide a hydraulic pilot signal to a hydraulic valve. A vertically extending central chamber contains a dielectric liquid and extends alongside the solenoid valve housings. A communication tube for each solenoid valve housing has an open upper end within the central chamber adjacent an upper end of the central chamber. Each of the communication tubes has an open lower end extending into one of the solenoid valve housings for communicating dielectric liquid in the central chamber with an interior of each of the solenoid valve housings. A separate drain line mounted to each of the solenoid valve housings enables draining of one of the solenoid valve housings for maintenance without requiring draining of other of the solenoid valve housings.
