Provided is a valve assembly and method for opening and closing thereof. The valve assembly, in one aspect, includes a valve body having inlet and outlet flow passageways connected by a valve chamber, and a ball valve member having a bore there through creating a ball/bore interface, the ball valve member located in the valve chamber for selective rotation between valve open and valve closed positions to control flow through the valve assembly. The valve assembly, according to this aspect, includes a linear actuation member slideable to engage proximate the ball/bore interface to assist in moving the ball valve member to the valve closed position.

Advanced loading method for ball rotation cutting and method of use therefor

A system includes a ball valve positionable along a fluid flow path of a wellbore. The ball valve is movable between an open position, where fluid is able to flow through the fluid flow path, and a closed position, where the fluid is prevented from flowing through the fluid flow path. The system also includes an electric motor coupled to a drive system within a trunnion of the ball valve. The electric motor drives rotation of the ball valve to move the ball valve between the open position and the closed position. Further, the system includes a power source electrically coupled to the electric motor to provide power to the electric motor.

Locally powered electric ball valve mechanism

A system for serving as a connection interface between a lower landing string and an upper landing string is provided. The system includes a quick union device comprising a first quick union component that is operable to couple to the upper landing string and a second quick union component that is operable to couple to the lower landing string. The first quick union component and the second quick union component respectively include a self-aligning threading interface that provides hydraulic and electrical connections when the first and second quick union components are connected to one another. The quick union device provides real-time feedback via wireless communication transducers that measure pressure and report that the measured pressure is retained in a plurality of hydraulic lines of the second quick union component when the first and second quick union components are disconnected from one another.

Electrohydraulic quick union for subsea landing string

A modular manifold system includes a first manifold ring which comprises a first tubular body defined by an inner wall, an outer wall, a first end, and a second end. The inner wall and the outer wall extend between the first end and the second end. The first manifold ring also includes a first path formed between the inner wall and the outer wall and extending to at least one of the first end and the second end. At least one of the first end and second end comprises a coupling feature configured to couple the first manifold ring to a second manifold ring or well equipment. The first path is put in fluid communication or electrical communication with the second manifold ring or well equipment when the first manifold ring is coupled to the second manifold ring.
