ELECTRICAL COUPLING
A dry mateable subsea electrical connector coupling, having a removable connector body adapted to couple a first connector part, terminated to a subsea cable or jumper, to a subsea sensor device, or to a subsea wet mateable connector part. The removable connector body is adapted to seal a chamber of the first connector part terminated to the subsea hose or jumper and to receive electrical conductors of the subsea sensor device or subsea wet mateable connector part. The removable connector body includes electrical conductors and fittings adapted to receive corresponding electrical conductors and fittings from the hose or jumper.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESERVOIR MONITORING USING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS WITH COMPLETION ASSEMBLIES
A system may include a control system disposed on a well surface, a casing disposed in a wellbore, a first electrical wiring coupled to the control system and the casing within a first section of the wellbore, and a second electrical wiring coupled to various flow control devices in a second section of the wellbore. The first section of the wellbore may be disposed at a first predetermined direction that is different than a second predetermined direction of the second section of the wellbore. The system may further include an electrical connector coupled to the first electrical wiring and the second electrical wiring. The electrical connector may include a mechanical receiver that couples with the first electrical wiring, and a stinger assembly coupled with the second electrical wiring and that connects to the mechanical receiver.
Connector assembly comprising electrical feedthrough with stress decoupling
A feedthrough for a connector system includes an insulator comprising a passage therethrough, a conductor pin located in the passage, and a pressure sleeve located between the insulator and the conductor pin. The pressure sleeve is coupled to the insulator and to the conductor pin, and the conductor pin is movable relative to the insulator under thermal or pressure expansion or contraction.
An apparatus for electrical connection in wells and other remote environments
An apparatus comprising an electrically powered device. The apparatus comprises a functional device, a device electrical terminal, a casing, a power supply and a casing electrical terminal. The apparatus is characterised in that corresponding physical retaining means are provided on the device and the casing respectively, to ensure that physical connection between the device electrical terminal and the casing electrical terminal is maintained, during use of the apparatus. The physical retaining means of the apparatus automatically engages when the device is moved into the desired position relative to the casing.
Electrical bulkhead connector
A bulkhead connector assembly for assembly within a downhole tool to isolate a dry side of the downhole tool from a fluid side of the downhole tool and to allow electrical communication therebetween. The bulkhead connector assembly comprises a bulkhead comprising holes extending therethrough, wherein the bulkhead is adapted to form a fluid seal against an inside surface of the downhole tool. Terminals extend through the bulkhead, wherein an end of each terminal is in electrical communication with one of a plurality of electrical wires. Boots each extend about the end of a corresponding one of the terminals. A retaining block has holes each receiving one of the boots. A housing positioned around the retaining block is coupled to the bulkhead, thus positionally fixing the retaining block relative to the bulkhead.
HERMETICALLY SEALED ELECTRICAL PENETRATOR ASSEMBLY
A penetrator device has an outer housing of non-conductive, insulating material having a through bore, at least one conductive pin formed in one or two parts extending through the housing and having a first end portion and a second end portion extending out of the respective first and second ends of the housing, a first cladding layer bonded over the first end portion of the pin to form a first bonded assembly, a second cladding layer bonded over the second end portion of the pin to form a second bonded assembly, and the material of the first and second cladding layer comprising a corrosion resistant conductive material different from the pin material.
ELECTRICAL FEEDTHROUGH SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
An electrical feedthrough assembly may include a lower assembly and an upper assembly coupled together. The lower assembly may include 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 upper assembly may include an outer body with a pin end, the pin end is inserted into an opening of the lower assembly, a main body connected to the outer body, a second conductor disposed within the main body, a channel in the outer body open to an outside of the outer body and a chamber within the outer body, a piston disposed within the channel and configured to fluidly isolate the chamber from the outside of the outer body, and a dielectric fluid provided within the chamber.
SUBSEA HOUSING ASSEMBLY
A subsea housing assembly, in particular for a subsea sensor, includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The first housing portion includes a first electrical connection for data communication and the second housing portion includes a second electrical connection for data communication. A wall provides separation between the first housing portion and the second housing portion of the subsea housing. An inductive coupler, that includes a first coupling section disposed in the first housing portion and a second coupling section disposed in the second housing portion, is provided. The inductive coupler is configured to provide inductive coupling across the wall for providing at least a data communication between the first and second electrical connections.
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT TERMINATION OF WELLHEAD CABLES
Technologies are generally described for apparatus, systems, and methods to reduce cost and simplify couplings for wellhead equipment and related cable assemblies. The wellhead equipment is placed on a well that is bored into the ground. The wellhead cable may employ a splice assembly that includes a downhole cable, a surface cable, and a conduit. The surface cable is spliced with the downhole cable below a wellhead hanger. The conduit may be configured to contain the surface cable and terminate in the explosion-proof conduit box located at the surface. An inner space of the conduit may be sealed below the wellhead hanger. The conduit may be break-free, or contiguous, between the wellhead hanger and the explosion-proof box.
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.
