Control line termination assembly

A system includes a control block configured to be coupled to a tree of a wellhead assembly. The control block includes a housing and a plate supported by the housing and having a radially inner wall defining an opening configured to receive a tubing member extending from the tree. The control block also includes a first recess extending circumferentially about the radially inner wall of the plate and configured to support a first annular seal to facilitate sealing the tubing member within the opening while the tubing member is positioned within the opening. The control block may also include a second recess extending circumferentially about the radially-inner wall of the opening and configured to support a second annular seal.

Dual string hanger assembly
12139990 · 2024-11-12 · ·

The dual string hanger assembly includes an insert and an adaptor. The insert is installed within the inner diameter of the tubing head and the adaptor is coupled over the top of the tubing head. The insert therefore becomes sealed within the interior space between the tubing head and the adaptor. In use, the production string is supported in a tubing hanger profile built into the adaptor above the existing tubing head. The auxiliary line is supported in a second, smaller diameter hanger profile that is on the insert, which is installed within the tubing head. The assembly may include a hanging apparatus, such as slips, to secure the auxiliary line in the hanger profile of the insert.

PROTECTING THE CASING-CASING ANNULUS IN HYDROCARBON PRODUCING WELLBORES

A wellbore system includes a wellhead positioned at a well surface and capping a wellbore extending from the wellhead, and a plurality of strings of casing arranged within the wellbore and extending from the wellhead. The plurality of strings of casing include an intermediate casing, and a production casing arranged within the intermediate casing and thereby defining a casing-casing annulus between the production casing and the intermediate casing. Production tubing extends from the wellhead and is arranged within the production casing, and corrosion inhibiting diesel fluid is present within the casing-casing annulus and thereby forms a corrosion-inhibiting barrier within the wellbore.

Method and apparatus for managing annular fluid expansion and pressure within a wellbore

A well, well head, drilling and completion system, and method for relieving pressure buildup between concentric casing annuli. The well head includes casing hangers and a tubing hanger that may include annular pressure relief conduits formed therein, which selectively vent casing annuli to the interior of the production tubing. Annular pressure relief valves are located within the annular pressure relief conduits, which may open and/or shut based on pressure, temperature, or elapsed time.
