US Patent:

20040007356, Jan 15, 2004

Filed:

Jul 12, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/194129

Inventors:

Walter Myron - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

E21B023/00

US Classification:

166/240000, 251/205000

Abstract:

An indexing mechanism is disclosed that can put a tool in a variety of positions while downhole in the face of high static and dynamic loads. In the preferred application, the mechanism controls a movable sleeve on a downhole choke. It contains an indexing feature comprising a pin movable in a series of slots. A piston restrained to move longitudinally engages and rotates an index sleeve to allow the pin to advance into the next J-slot track. A separate lug on the piston engages a radial face on the index sleeve to take the shock load and position the choke instead of allowing the pin to load against the closed end of the slot.

US Classification:

277309, 277626, 277434

Abstract:

A nose seal for forming a fluid seal with a sealing surface in a bore The nose seal is particularly suitable for use in high pressure and high temperature conditions. The nose seal includes a substantially deformable sealing ring, which can form a resilient fluid seal with the sealing surface, and a substantially rigid ring, which prevents or limits extrusion of the substantially deformable sealing ring in high temperature and/or high pressure environments.

Abstract:

A tool having a temperature management arrangement includes a single piece unitary body, a channel within the body having a geometric discontinuity that forms a vortex chamber. A tool including a temperature management arrangement having a geometric discontinuity configured as a vortex chamber formed simultaneously with formation of a body. A method for producing a thermal management arrangement comprises additively growing the arrangement while selectively forming a channel in the arrangement, the channel comprising a geometric discontinuity formed as a vortex chamber.
