71 results about "Casing hanger" patented technology

In petroleum production, the casing hanger is that portion of a wellhead assembly which provides support for the casing string when it is lowered into the wellbore. It serves to ensure that the casing is properly located. When the casing string has been run into the wellbore it is hung off, or suspended, by a casing hanger, which rests on a landing shoulder inside the casing spool. Casing hangers must be designed to take the full weight of the casing, and provide a seal between the casing hanger and the spool.

Wellhead device

Underwater wellhead annular sealing assembly

The utility model discloses an underwater wellhead annular sealing assembly which is arranged in an annular area between a high-pressure wellhead and a casing hanger and comprises a metal sealing body, an inner locking ring and an upper driving ring. The metal sealing body is provided with an outer side sealing point on the upper side and an inner side sealing point on the lower side, and the inner locking ring is arranged on the upper side of the metal sealing body in a sleeving mode and aligned with the outer side sealing point in position. When the metal sealing body is put down, the inner side sealing point firstly makes contact with the casing hanger through interference fit and activates the inner side seal, loads in the seal activation process are dispersed, and only the self weight of the metal sealing body and interference fit are used. The upper drive ring is lowered between the inner lock ring and the metal seal body, and the outer seal is activated by locking the inner lock ring. According to the step-by-step activation mechanism, the large load needed by simultaneous activation of seals on the two sides in a traditional design is avoided, and therefore the overall load in the seal activation process is reduced. The asymmetric structure design of the inner and outer sealing points effectively reduces the axial driving force.
