Anti-Rotation Device For Use With Well Tools

View page
US Patent:
6425442, Jul 30, 2002
Filed:
Aug 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/631436
Inventors:
Burney Latiolais, Jr. - Lafayette LA
Keith T. Lutgring - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Franks International, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 1710
US Classification:
1662421, 1662411, 1661774
Abstract:
A drillable, anti-rotation device for limiting the rotation of a downhole tool, such as a cement plug, when drilling out the down hole tool. The drillable, anti-rotation device comprises a drillable sleeve connected within a non-drillable outer tubular member connected within a pipe string. The sleeve has one or more grooves or other indentations, and/or one or more ribs or other protrusions extending inwardly within the interior of the device for gripping or otherwise retarding the rotation of such downhole tool.

US Patent:
6508312, Jan 21, 2003
Filed:
Feb 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/075155
Inventors:
Braxton I. Moody - Lafayette LA
Keith T. Lutgring - Lafayette LA
Donald E. Mosing - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Franks Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Inc. - Lafayette LA
International Classification:
E21B 4312
US Classification:
166386, 166373, 166317, 166319
Abstract:
A fluid flow control apparatus for use in a mid-string location in a pipe string being run into a well has an open fluid flow route to the annulus above the apparatus to provide more flow area for upwardly moving fluid. Flow up the upper pipe string bore is resisted to reduce fluid overflow from the top of the pipe string. Fluid flow down the pipe string bore closes the fluid channel between the lower pipe string bore and the upper annulus and blows out a pipe bore flow resisting element for free down flow of fluids in the pipe string bore.

Method And Multi-Purpose Apparatus For Control Of Fluid In Wellbore Casing

US Patent:
6571880, Jun 3, 2003
Filed:
Apr 26, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/559243
Inventors:
Robert A. Bates - Houma LA
David F. Laurel - Cypress TX
Samuel P. Hawkins - Mineral Wells TX
Keith T. Lutgring - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Franks International, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 3312
US Classification:
166386, 166193, 166318, 1663324, 166374
Abstract:
A downhole apparatus is described as having an upper mandrel shearably connected to a lower mandrel by a first set of shear pins. Each of the mandrels has an elastomeric cement plug formed around the mandrels. A sleeve is shearably connected within the lower mandrel. The operation of the apparatus, which includes a method for controlling the flow of fluid out of the end of a tubular string, involves dropping a first small diameter ball from the earth3 s surface. The ball is sized such that it travels through the upper mandrel and settles into the sleeve which is connected within the lower mandrel. By increasing pump pressure at the earths surface, the lower mandrel is separated from the upper mandrel by shearing the first set of shear pins. After the separation of the lower mandrel from the upper mandrel, by further increasing the pump pressure at the earths surface, a second set of shear pins are sheared and the lower mandrel can be pumped down to the bottom of the tubular string against a float collar or other plug landing surface. This enables the fluid within the tubular string to be pumped out of the lower mandrel into the earth borehole.

Method And Multi-Purpose Apparatus For Dispensing And Circulating Fluid In Wellbore Casing

US Patent:
6595288, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Jan 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/052855
Inventors:
Donald E. Mosing - Lafayette LA
David L. Sipos - Youngsville LA
Keith T. Lutgring - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Franks International, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 3305
US Classification:
166285, 1661774
Abstract:
A multi-functional apparatus and method for drilling fluid and cementing operations to set casing in a wellbore for use on either top drive or rotary type rigs. The apparatus and method includes a fill-up and circulating tool, a cementing head assembly, and a wiper plug assembly. The fill-up and circulating tool comprises a mandrel with a sealing element disposed about the outside diameter of the mandrel. The cementing head and wiper plug assemblies are useable on any fill-up and circulating tool capable of being inserted into a casing. To fill the casing, the assembly is lowered from the rig such that a portion of the fill-up tools inserted into the casing, the pumps are then actuated to flow fluid into the casing. To circulate fluid, the tool is lowered further such that the sealing element sealingly engages the inside diameter of the casing to allow fluid to flow through the casing, into the wellbore, and back to the fluid pumps. To cement the casing, the cement pump and hose assembly is connected to the cementing head to allow cement to be pumped through the fill-up and circulating tool and into the casing string.

US Patent:
7159619, Jan 9, 2007
Filed:
Oct 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/689913
Inventors:
Johnny Firmin Elkins - Youngsville LA, US
Keith T. Lutgring - Lafayette LA, US
John K. M. Saichuk - Lafayette LA, US
Assignee:
Frank's International, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B65D 59/06
US Classification:
138 96T, 2941192
Abstract:
A cylindrical ring sized to slide over the box end of an oilfield tubular having a given external diameter, has a shoulder at one its ends and a sidewall along its length. The sidewall has a circumferential groove about its interior surface housing a band which can be made tight against the exterior surface of the oilfield tubular by a latch, accessible through a slot in the sidewall, and which becomes even tighter if the tubular attempts to escape from the band. In a first orientation, the cylindrical ring is used as a load ring. By turning the cylindrical ring upside down, the cylindrical ring is used as a thread protector for the pin end of the tubular.
