Downhole Tool With Increased Friction Surface And Method Of Manufacture

View page
US Patent:
52420191, Sep 7, 1993
Filed:
May 18, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/884829
Inventors:
Wilhelm E. Benker - Houston TX
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 33127
US Classification:
166187
Abstract:
An inflatable packer is shown which includes a tubular mandrel and an inflatable, elastomeric sleeve secured to the mandrel at opposing ends thereof. A friction enhancing media is applied to the exterior surface of the mandrel by wrapping a grit laden tape about the mandrel exterior surface. The particulate material contained within the outer surface of the tape increases the coefficient of friction between the mandrel and the sleeve to retain the sleeve in its original position while the device is being run into position within the well bore.

Template And Process For Drilling And Completing Multiple Wells

View page
US Patent:
53300076, Jul 19, 1994
Filed:
Jun 18, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/080042
Inventors:
Gary J. Collins - Richmond TX
John L. Baugh - Houston TX
Wilhelm E. Benker - Houston TX
Assignee:
Marathon Oil Company - Findlay OH
International Classification:
E21B 1504
E21B 708
E21B 4301
US Classification:
166313
Abstract:
A template and process for drilling and completing multiple wells in a subterranean formation. A template having a plurality of axially extending, divergent bores therethrough is secured to surface or intermediate casing and a like plurality of subterranean wells are drilled through the bores and into the subterranean formation. Each well is separately cased to the well head at the surface and separate production tubing is inserted into each well. Thus, remedial operations can be carded out in one well or fluid injected into a subterranean formation via one well while fluid, such as hydrocarbons, are simultaneously produced from a subterranean formation via the other well(s).

External Casing Packer With Element End Sleeve To Collar Retainer And Method

View page
US Patent:
57433330, Apr 28, 1998
Filed:
May 3, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/642773
Inventors:
Darrin L. Willauer - The Woodlands TX
Wilhelm E. Benker - Houston TX
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 33127
US Classification:
166122
Abstract:
An external casing packer 10 is provided for positioning downhole along a tubular string in a well. Packer 10 includes a mandrel 12, an elastomeric sealing element 14, and an inflation chamber 26 for inflating the sealing element into sealing engagement with the sidewall of the well. Upper collar 22 and a lower collar 24 positioned axially above and below the sealing element, respectively, and an upper end sleeve 40 and a lower end sleeve 62 of the sealing element are mechanically interconnected. One or more anti-rotational keys 44 rotational interconnect a collar with a respective sleeve. A circumferential groove 52 may be provided in the outer surface of the collar, and a similar circumferential groove 54 provided in the inner surface of the end sleeve. A retaining wire 46 may be passed through a hole 56 in the end sleeve and into the grooves to axially interconnect the collar with the end sleeve. The interconnection mechanism of the present invention does not rely upon welding, and may be reliably used when there is relatively little spacing between the outer diameter of the mandrel and the outer diameter of the packer body.

Side Pocket Mandrel Having Forged Indentations

View page
US Patent:
47594101, Jul 26, 1988
Filed:
Sep 5, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/904523
Inventors:
Wilhelm E. Benker - Huntsville TX
James H. Holt - Conroe TX
Max A. Threadgill - Walker County TX
Assignee:
Hughes Tool Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 2303
US Classification:
1661175
Abstract:
A side pocket mandrel for use in well tubing. The mandrel has a body, having an open bore extending through the body in alignment with the well tubing, and a side pocket offset from the bore. A valve receptacle is formed in the side pocket of the mandrel. The body of the mandrel has a plurality of forged indentations. These indentations are axially spaced above the valve receptacle and extend into the side pocket for a distance sufficient to keep well tools from entering the valve receptacle. The indentations may also taper away from the valve receptacle.
