Appl. No.:

14/979296

Inventors:

- Thousand Oaks CA, US
Brandon M. Watson - Palm Coast FL, US
Alexander D. Socha - Longwood FL, US

Assignee:

Teledyne Instruments, Inc. - Thousand Oaks CA

International Classification:

E21B 33/038
H01R 13/533
H01R 13/52

Abstract:

The present invention provides a modular electrical feedthrough system for use in offshore and top-side electrical submersible pump (“ESP”) installations. A modular electrical connection system includes a stab receptacle assembly for mating with a stab plug assembly and a compliance mount. The stab plug assembly includes stab plugs and guide funnels adapted to guide the stab receptacles into a mating position with the stab plugs. The compliance mount compensates for physical misalignment between stab receptacles and stab plugs. A tubing hanger assembly forms a pressure barrier at a production bore by use of a tubing hanger penetrator assembly including a set of seals to isolate the electrical penetrator from the production bore. A secondary penetrator assembly provides a redundant pressure barrier for increased safety and system reliability.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a fire-resistant electrical feedthrough system for use in offshore and top-side electrical submersible pump (“ESP”) installations. The fire-resistant electrical feedthrough system includes a minimum of two, redundant pressure barriers, in order to provide for safe operation and increased system reliability. The primary barrier is typically embedded within the wellhead equipment structure, while the secondary barrier is typically externally mounted.
