Description

[0002] With the current development of underwater oil exploitation, the delivery and removal of the tubing hanger in the underwater wellhead equipment is different from the traditional threaded delivery and retrieval method of the land wellhead. It is necessary to take into account the complex underwater marine ecological environment and the installation process with an extreme lack of visual observation. A precise, remote and reliable tubing hanger delivery and retrieval tool is needed, which can adapt to the working conditions of underwater remote operation and precise guidance to ensure the correct installation position of the tubing hanger.

[0003] In the prior art, the installation of underwater tubing hangers generally adopts the form of hydraulic remote control, but it requires multiple hydraulic pistons for driving or multiple hydraulic chambers for energy storage. Such a design will increase many potential leakage points due to the use of multiple hydraulic combination strokes, which can easily cause the functional failure of the hydraulic system to block the wellhead, increase additional installation risks, and lack installation guidance. If the wellhead and the tubing hanger are both provided with side outlets, this design requires multiple adjustments to the side outlet position of the tubing hanger when the delivery tool is sent into the tubing hanger, resulting in increased labor costs and time costs, and there are many safety hazards. The previous design also lacked a mechanism design for determining the piston stroke, that is, verifying that the piston is in place. This design will not be able to verify whether the piston has moved into place in time after the hydraulic pressure is injected during installation, and whether there is leakage in the hydraulic chamber and other uncontrollable situations.
