摘要： An improvement in blowout preventer apparatus of the type having a radially compressible annular packing mounted within a housing chamber, the housing having axially aligned upper and lower conical bores communicating with an inner bore of the annular packing, the packing axially expanding towards said upper and lower bores upon said radial compression, a plurality of rigid end ring segments attached to sectored webs of the ends of the packing and thereby individually movable axially outwardly and radially inwardly relative to the upper and lower conical bores to control the packing axial expansion during radial compression of the packing has keying means cooperating with the rigid end ring segments of the packing and the conical bores for guiding a sector-wise movement of the segments in individually separate and predetermined paths along the conical bores to a common radial position independent of the uniformity of the packing radial compression and/or axial expansion. Exemplary keying means include a key member provided in a slot in the packing end ring segment and a mating keyway in the conical bore.

摘要： Subsea wellhead apparatus is disclosed in which a hanger is adapted to be lowered into and landed in a predetermined orientational and longitudinal position within the bore of a wellhead housing installed on a subsea well in order to suspend a tubing string within the well bore. The hanger has a passageway with one adapted to connect with a tube extending downwardly into the well bore for connection with an operator for a subsurface safety valve in the tubing string, and another end which connects with the outer side of the hanger opposite the bore of the housing. The housing has a passageway therethrough with one end in general alignment with the other end of the passageway in the hanger to form a continuation thereof when the hanger is landed in the housing. A body on the outer side of the housing has passageway means with one end in general alignment with the other end of the housing passageway and another end for connection with a control line external to the housing. Flow of control fluid to and from the valve operator is controlled by a valve which includes a closure member in the hanger passageways position to be opened by the inner end of a stem mounted in the body for longitudinal reciprocation within the housing passageway to open the valve and hold it open so as to form a confined flow path between the hanger passageway and the passageway means in the body which connects with the control line.

摘要： There are disclosed a wellhead system and a method for use in drilling a subsea well from a jackup platform which includes a wellhead housing which is installed on a surface casing of a subsea well. A first riser having a connector on its lower end is lowered over the upper end of the housing as the connector to land on the housing, and a second riser is lowered through the first riser and connector over and onto the upper end of the wellhead housing to form an upward continuation of the bore of the housing. The connector has locking parts which are movable between outer unlocking position to permit the second riser to be lowered onto and raised from the wellhead housing, and inner positions for locking engagement with the upper end of the housing and lower end of the second riser. A casing hanger is lowered through the second hanger and into landed position within the housing bore for suspending an inner casing string within the surface casing.

摘要： There is disclosed an apparatus for use in drilling an offshore well wherein the upper end of a riser is intermittently supported from a floating vessel to permit the lower ends of additional pipe sections to be connected thereto and then lowered through the table for connection at its lower end to an underwater wellhead. The riser is supported from the vessel in such a manner as to absorb the load of the riser as an additional section is landed on its upper end, and then carry the load of the riser as the vessel tilts or rolls without imposing undue bending loads on the riser.
