A tubing rotator and a drive therefor. The tubing rotator includes an input shaft to a tubing rotator gear; an electric motor including an output shaft; and a plurality of worm drives arranged in series and configured to (i) receive input from the electric motor and (ii) output torque to the input shaft of the tubing rotator. The worm drives may be identical speed reducers, such as with an input to output reduction ratio of from 25:1 to 40:1.

Locking energizing ring

A system for forming a seal between wellbore components includes an annular seal having a first leg and a second leg, the first leg positioned proximate a first wellbore component and the second leg positioned proximate a second wellbore component, wherein upon activation of the seal, the first leg engages the first wellbore component and the second leg engages the second wellbore component. The system also includes an energizing ring adapted to activate the seal, the energizing ring extending into an opening of the seal to drive the first leg and the second leg radially outward relative to an axis of the seal. The energizing ring includes bumps positioned to align with respective grooves formed on both the first leg and the second leg, upon activation of the seal, the bumps transmitting an uphole force into components having an axial component and a radial component.

Wellhead torque ring
11536108 · 2022-12-27 · ·

A wellhead assembly includes a wellhead housing; a tubing hanger, plug, back pressure valve, two-way check valve, BOP test plug, temporary abandonment plug, or other device; and a torque ring. The wellhead housing includes an inner bore. The wellhead housing has one or more mating grooves formed on an inner wall of the wellhead housing. The tubing hanger, plug, back pressure valve, two-way check valve, BOP test plug, temporary abandonment plug, or other device is positioned within the inner bore of the wellhead housing. The torque ring is positioned within a slot formed in the tubing hanger or other device. The torque ring includes a protrusion extending beyond the tubing hanger and into the mating groove.

Running tool for a liner string

A liner string for a wellbore includes a liner hanger assembly (LHA) and a liner hanger deployment assembly (LHDA) releasably attached to the LHA. The LHDA includes a central bore and a running tool moveable from a locked position to an unlocked position, the running tool including a flow path in communication with the central bore. The liner string further includes a chamber disposed between the LHDA and LHA, wherein the chamber is in selective fluid communication with the flow path. Wherein, when the flow path is closed, the chamber is isolated from the central bore, and when the flow path is open, the flow path provides fluid communication between central bore and chamber.

Well surface safety valve assembly with a ball valve and back pressure valve
11512549 · 2022-11-29 ·

A valve assembly is installed within a wellhead such as a conventional tubing hanger or casing hanger used to suspend pipe or other tubular goods in a well. A seal bushing assembly is installed in a tubing head assembly or other wellhead component. A hanger valve assembly is stung into the seal bushing assembly and includes a valve that can be selectively opened or closed. In the open position, the valve does not restrict a central flow path diameter through the hanger and wellhead. In the closed position, the valve contains pressure and/or fluid flow and fully seals against wellbore pressure acting on the valve. A wellhead adapter covers the hanger valve assembly and provides an attachment point for a conventional Christmas tree or other wellhead equipment.
