Apparatus associated with the production of hydrocarbons comprising a joint assembly comprising a main body portion having primary and secondary fluid flow paths, wherein the main body portion is attached to a load sleeve assembly at one end and a torque sleeve assembly at the opposite end. The load sleeve may include at least one transport conduit and at least one packing conduit. The main body portion may include a sand control device, a packer, or other well tool for use in a downhole environment. Included is a coupling assembly having a manifold region in fluid flow communication with the second fluid flow path of the main body portion and facilitating the make-up of first and second joint assemblies with a single connection.

An injection pipe string () in a well () for the injection of a fluid into at least one reservoir () intersected by the string (), in which at least parts of the injection string () opposite the at least one reservoir () are provided with one or more outflow positions/-zones. At least one pressure-loss-promoting flow control device is provided to each outflow position/-zone. In position of use, the flow control device(s) control(s) the outflow rate of the injection fluid to a reservoir rock opposite said position/zone. The flow control device(s) is (are) disposed between an internal flow space () of the injection string () and the reservoir rock opposite said position/zone, and said device(s) is (are) hydraulically connected to at least one through-going pipe wall opening () in the injection string (), and to said reservoir rock. By using such flow control devices, the outflow profile of the injection fluid may be appropriately controlled along the injection string ().

Flow control device for an injection pipe string

A device for an underground well, typically a petroleum well (), wherein, in the uncased inflow portion () of the well, there is placed an inflow pipe, possibly in the form of a strainer pipe () comprising a strainer/perforated outer mantle (), a main pipe () located within and a number of preferably axial spacer strips () spaced apart about the external periphery of the main pipe and arranged to support the strainer mantle (), whereby there are, in the space defined by the strainer mantle () and the main pipe (), channelsbetween the spacers (), and in one or more of the channels, there extends at least one cable, pipe or hose ().

Downhole cable protection device

A coupling for interconnecting two double-walled pipes, e.g. production filter pipes ( ). The coupling may have the shape of a connector ( A, A) divided into two parts, each part ( A, A) being attachable on the end portion of a double pipe ( ), the parts ( A, A) of the connector being interconnectable, preferably mutually screwable. Such double pipes ( ) have two concentric liquid passages, one through the inner pipe ( ) and one through the annulus-like, concentric liquid passage ) between inner pipe ( ) and outer pipe ( ). In order not to block the outer concentric liquid passage ( ) at the joint place ( A, A) so that liquid flowing therewithin must be transferred to said smaller pipe through a valve, longitudinally extending, through-going flowing channels ( ) have been formed in the joint area; said channels ( ) may be distributed circumferentially, thus allowing continuous flow of liquid past the coupling area ( A, A).
