摘要: A minimum parts bypass plunger includes a main shaft or pushrod extending through a hollow plunger body that incorporates flow passages formed in the adjacent surfaces of the pushrod or the internal bore of the plunger body. The pushrod is retained within the plunger body by respective head and tail pieces or caps that are locked to the plunger body by 360 degree crimps around the head and tail pieces. A one piece clutch is supported in the head piece. The pushrod, has an integral valve head that closes the flow passages when seated against a seat in the plunger body.

摘要: A valve assembly for delivering a fluid into a wellbore includes a stationary valve assembly that is installed on a production tube that extends down into the wellbore. A dynamic valve assembly that is attached to a capillary line is lowered into the production tube, and the dynamic valve assembly releasably latched onto the stationary valve assembly. The latching of the dynamic valve assembly to the stationary valve assembly also opens a fluid connection between the dynamic valve assembly and the stationary valve assembly, thereby allowing pressurized fluid to flow from the capillary line into the wellbore via the stationary valve assembly. When it is necessary or desirable to perform maintenance or repair operations on the dynamic valve assembly or the capillary line, the dynamic valve assembly and the attached capillary line can all be withdrawn to the top of the well.

摘要: A downhole tool includes a body having a rounded or cylindrical surface, at least one relieved space in the rounded or cylindrical surface, and a protuberance within the relieved space. The downhole tool also has a generally cylindrical retaining ring that surrounds a portion of the body. One or more crimple detents are formed in the retaining ring, each crimple detent comprising a portion of the retaining ring that has been deformed radially inward into an underlying portion of the relieved space such that the deformed material of the retaining ring contacts and deforms an underlying portion of the protuberance in the relieved space, thereby joining the retaining ring to the body.

摘要: A bypass plunger combines a unitary or one-piece hollow body-and-valve cage, retains a dart valve within the valve cage portion of the hollow body using a threaded retaining nut secured by crimple detents. A series of helical grooves surround the central portion of the outer surface of the hollow body of the plunger to control spin during descent. A canted-coil-spring disposed within the retaining nut functions as a clutch. The valve cage includes ports that may be configured to control flow through the plunger during ascent. Other embodiments include clutch assemblies using canted-coil springs with split bobbins, and valve stems surfaced to achieve specific functions. Combinations of these features provide enhanced performance, durability and reliability at reduced manufacturing cost, due primarily to the simplicity of its design.

摘要: A bumper spring assembly having a one piece mandrel including an integral head piece is further configured with a cage assembly retained on the mandrel with a cage nut locked to the mandrel to obviate the need for pins, set screws, and the like, to provide a more robust assembly. In two embodiments the cage nut is locked to the mandrel in a swaging operation. Improved flow of fluids through and around the bumper spring assembly are also provided

摘要: Disclosed embodiments include an apparatus, such as a plunger for oil and/or gas wells, that includes one or more scraping features. The scraping feature may include at least one ridge configured to scrape material, such as paraffins, asphaltenes, salt, hydrates, debris, solids, etc., from an inner surface of a tubular body and direct the scraped material away from the plunger body. A disclosed method for scraping material from a tubular body includes releasing a plunger within the tubular body, the plunger having a body with an outer surface and a scraping feature on the outer surface that includes at least one ridge; scraping material from an inner surface of the tubular body with the ridge of the scraping feature; and directing the scraped material away from the plunger body.

摘要: A disclosed unibody bypass plunger has a unitary one-piece hollow body, a valve cage, a clutch system, crimple fastening structures, and a valve. The clutch system is provided in a bottom end of the plunger and is configured to limit a position of the valve. A top end includes an external fish neck with ports or slots. The plunger further includes an integral shift rod that extends out of the top end in a closed configuration and extends out of the bottom end in an open configuration, eliminating a need for a separator rod in a lubricator cap to open and close the valve. Ports or slots may be pluggable with one or more plugs. As such, a fall speed of the plunger may be adjusted based on a number of plugs that are installed, with the greatest fall speed being obtained with all ports or slots unplugged.
