ELECTRICAL FEEDTHROUGH SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

An electrical feedthrough assembly has a lower assembly having a first end and a second end. The lower assembly includes an outer body with a lower housing and an upper housing disposed within a bore of the outer body and a first conductor extending from the lower housing to the upper housing. Additionally, the lower housing extends axial outward from the outer body to form the first end and the upper housing extends axial outward from the outer body to form the second end. Further, the electrical feedthrough assembly has an upper assembly having body extending from a first end to a second end. The second body includes a pin end at the first end inserted into an opening of the second end of the lower assembly. A second conductor is disposed within the body. A piston is disposed within the body configured to move the second conductor.

WELLHEAD ELECTRICAL FEED-THRU PENETRATOR SEALING, BREAKAWAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION

An improved wellhead electrical connection assembly utilizing upper and lower retention mechanisms to minimize pressure and fluid leakage in the event of a tubing part or other failure. The upper retention mechanism ensures the connection assembly remains within a tubing hanger. The lower retention mechanism provides a secure connection to a downhole cable that can breakaway without damaging or dislodging other components of the assembly during an emergency event.

COMPONENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

A component of a subsea connector includes a conductor, an electrically insulating layer and an at least partially electrically conductive layer. A method of assembling the component includes providing the insulating layer radially outward of the conductor; and applying the at least partially conductive layer onto the insulating layer by casting, moulding, compression fitting, or additive manufacturing techniques.

Modular vertical wet christmas tree, installation method and intervention method thereof

A wet Christmas tree (WCT) is segmented into a lower safety module containing safety valves and an upper multifunctional module for controlling the flow and/or pumping and/or subsea processing. The WCT can be applied to completion systems using completion mode with tubing heads or directly on the wellhead. The modular WCT can be used in oil and gas production well applications or injection of water and/or gases in subsea fields in shallow water to deep water.
