A tubing release coupling which does not require rotation to effect release incorporates a collet which is retained within a groove by a collet retainer located on an axially movable piston. The piston is retained in place thereby locking the collet by a detent cantilever spring. Pressure differential between the tubing the annulus forces axial movement of the piston against the spring force of the cantilever spring effecting release of the collet. The spring force of the detent cantilever spring may be adjusted by positioning spring adjusters at a variable distance.

Hydraulic release joint for tubing systems

A grapple connection for interconnecting coiled tubing with a well tool comprises first and second tapered split rings and a double-tapered intermediate split ring enclosed in a cylindrical, threaded housing. When the housing is rotated with threaded engagement of the housing to a compression ring and the well tool, the well tool and the compression ring bear against the split rings causing the tapered surfaces to press the grapples inwardly and the intermediate ring outwardly to effect a tight interconnection between the coiled tubing and the well too.
