Darren Richard Santeler is an accomplished inventor based in Katy, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of expandable tubular systems, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to engineering challenges.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Thick wall shouldered launcher." This invention features an expandable tubular system that includes a launcher section coupled to a tubular string, housing an expansion device. The shoulder section, formed at the transition point between the launcher section and the tubular string, has a wall thickness greater than that of both the tubular string and the launcher section. This design increases the force required to begin the expansion of the tubular string and enhances the contact area between the inner surface of the shoulder section and the expansion device when supporting the weight of the tubular string.
Another notable patent is the "Apparatus and method for completing a wellbore." This invention includes an expandable tubular assembly equipped with a hydraulically actuated expander for expanding a tubular. The design allows for a bore obstruction object to be received in a receptacle sleeve, which is a modular component of the expandable tubular assembly. This feature enables the assembly to be quickly fitted with a receptacle sleeve designed to accommodate a selected type of bore obstruction object.
