A novel venturi device located within a tubular member for accelerating the flow of an effluent is disclosed. The device will generally comprise a tubular member containing a throat section, a diffuser section and an opening contained on the tubular member for allowing the injection of a gas therethrough. The device also includes an inner mandrel contained within the tubular member. The inner mandrel contains a nozzle member defining an internal chamber. The inner mandrel also contains a first passageway and a second passageway for directing the effluent therethrough. The nozzle is operatively associated with the opening contained on the tubular member. In one embodiment, a flow diverter member is included for diverting the production effluent into the first passageway and into the nozzle annulus. A method of accelerating production with a venturi device within a tubing string is also disclosed.

Method for accelerating production

A device for use within a production conduit is disclosed. Generally, the device comprises a body attached to a work string. A deflection member, operatively attached to the body, is included for allowing the deflection of a body mandrel. An aligning spring for aligning the device with a gas lift pocket within the production conduit is included along with a tension adjusting member used for creating a tension in the aligning spring. The device may further comprise a sleeve disposed about the deflection member so that the deflection member is held in a rigid position, with the sleeve being selectively attached to the body. A method for lowering a bottom hole assembly containing a gas lift valve into a side pocket gas lift mandrel is also included.

Apparatus for kicking over tool and method

A method of increasing the production from a well completed to a reservoir is disclosed. Generally, the method comprises the steps of installing a venturi device within the well. A gas is injected within the annulus and introduced into the well. The venturi device creates a zone of low pressure within the well as well as accelerating the velocity of the production fluids so that the inflow from the reservoir is increased. In one embodiment, the venturi device is associated with a gas lift mandrel located in the well.

A device for cutting a wire line is disclosed. Generally, the device comprises a tubular member having an inner diameter therethrough for placement of the wire line. A power mandrel is associated with the tubular member. A housing is operatively associated with the mandrel. Also included will be a rotatable cutting blade pivotally attached to the housing, and selective attachment means (operatively associated with the mandrel and the housing) for selectively attaching the mandrel and the housing together. The device may contain an activating member for activating the rotatable cutting blade into engagement with the wire so as to cut the wire. The device may further comprise a wire wedge member, positioned within the mandrel slot, that is adapted to wedge the wire into engagement with the mandrel. In one embodiment, the rotatable cutting blade comprises a disc member having a channel therethrough for receiving the wire, with the channel having sides contoured to cut the wire.

Apparatus and method for cutting wire

An apparatus for use in an oil and gas well bore is disclosed. Generally, the apparatus comprises of a mandrel and a housing slidable on the mandrel. The apparatus will also include an engaging member for engaging the walls of the well bore. A spring disposed about the mandrel urges the mandrel into contact with the engaging member.

Automatic catch apparatus and method

A well testing valve for obtaining a pressure build-up survey from a well bore intersecting a reservoir, the well bore containing a landing receptacle, is disclosed. The well testing valve comprises locking means for locking the well testing valve in the landing receptacle, valve means for selectively opening and closing the well bore. Also included is a rotational power source including a control means for selectively opening and closing the well bore, and recording means for recording the bottom hole pressure and temperature.
