A packer penetrator seals each of a plurality of tubes within an enclosed penetrator body having a seal against the tubes and a seal against a seal bushing enclosing each of the plurality of the tubes. The method of installing this assembly whereby a manifold bushing is fed over the tubes and seated into the packer penetrator, then the penetrator is sealed using one or more rings with a top seal by tightening down a manifold bushing nut. Each tube is then sealed by passing it through the top seal and either sealed using a ferrule and nut seal or a top-hat and nut seal. Thus, each electrical conductor in the tube is sealed, and the packer penetrator is also sealed against the elements.

Double seal for tri-lead style packer penetrators and method of installation

An electrical interconnect system which allows electrical service to be provided to an ESP suspended on coiled tubing without exiting the wellhead at the top of the well head structure, with three aligned plugs into which is inserted an exterior plug providing each leg of the electrical service to the ESP within the well.

Orthogonal electrical connector penetrator system for coiled tubing electrical service in a flow-through multi-bowled wellhead and method of installation and use

A packer penetrator assembly comprised of a proximal mandrel, an intermediate mandrel and a distal mandrel that can be quickly and efficiently assembled while preventing the migration of gases or fluids up the ESP cable through a well bore packer. These ESP cables can be spliced to power cables passing through a wellbore packer, a sealed electrical connection at a packer assembly. The packer penetrator also offers an adaptive or male to female crossover assembly that allows use of power cables of differing diameters and styles to be joined.

Simplified packer penetrator and method of installation

The present disclosure provides a dis-connectable wellhead hanger arrangement permitting a pig tail set of a electrical conductors to be inserted within the wellhead hanger arrangement which seals against the wellhead hanger upon separation of an electrical power cable. If the power cable separates from the production tubing for any reason, the compressively fit plugs disconnect the power cable from the pathway leaving the electrical mandrel sealed within the wellhead hanger, thereby sealing the wellhead hanger from loss of fluid after separation.

Disconnectable pressure-preserving electrical connector and method of installation

An epoxy sealant confined around a transition seal body system for a down hole electric cable transition from a protected cable to separate conductors of a three-phase electrical service provides a vapor and pressure seal, preventing premature failure from temperature and pressure changes in the wellbore. The use of epoxy to completely surround the transition seal body within the penetrator mandrel permits field installation of continuous electrical conductors from a wellbore through a pressure sealing wellhead to the surface.

System for continuous electrical well cable feed-through for a wellhead and method of installation

A connector permitting the surface splicing of two electric power cables in adverse weather conditions provides a sufficient dielectric cover to prevent shorting or grounding out of the connection. A dielectric tube or sleeve having means for either a threaded or snapping connection with a cap, which is fitted over one or two electric power cables. The body after being filled with dielectric grease or silicone provides a radiused surface at each end to permit the cables to be inserted or removed quickly and efficiently. The capped end or ends can then be further weatherproofed with an additional exterior cap over the tube.

Power cable splice sleeve and method of installation

A triple-sealed ESP connection provides a first seal at the upper end of a coiled tubing to limit the migration of vapors from the interior of the coiled tubing into the annulus at a wellhead and a second seal to prevent migration of the vapors from the annulus of the wellhead to the exterior surface of the wellhead. This triple-sealed arrangement can be accomplished by providing a threaded connection on an upper end of the coiled tubing to which is attached the sealable shroud for the electrical conductor splice which sealably connects with the wellhead thereby providing a sealed upper end to the coiled tubing and a second seal on the shroud and a seal at the wellhead. The second seal in both cases is the seal that can be either a metal-to-metal or other type of compressive seal arrangement or a sealed tubing arrangement.

Coiled tubing triple-sealed penetrator and method

The connector arrangement attaches the electrical conductors of a standard electrical submersible pump (ESP) cable to a mineral insulated (MI) resistance heater cable for use in oil and gas wells by conductively joining one or more of the electrical conductors of the ESP cable to a cold lead of the MI heater cable within an insulated sleeve covered and sealed within a protective cover. The connector thereby allows the MI heater cable and ESP pump cable to be joined to production tubing and then lowered into the well bore to the desired location.

Heater cable to pump cable connector and method of installation

An electrical splice, resistant to decompression failure for use in gassy hydrocarbon wells, is segmented thereby permitting the installation of the splice quickly and efficiently. The segmented cable splice provides a passage into which is inserted an electrical crimping union which provides a detent to engage a ridge on the interior passage of the segmented sleeve. When each sleeve is complete, the exterior surface of the complete splice is either cylindrical or flat; and covered by protective transition covers having epoxy encapsulating each contained conductor line back to the armored cover, thereby providing mechanical protection and inhibiting movement of the spliced conductors within the splice connection.

Segmented decompression resistant cable splice and method of installation

Embodiments of the present invention provide an effective seal and connector that maintain a removable mechanical and electrical connection between any two down hole power cables, despite cable movement and well pressure. The connector preferably includes a fluid seal comprised an encasing material that surrounds and/or adheres to protective tubing encapsulating an electrical cable's conductor wires. The encasing material may also surround and/or adhere to the conductive wire's insulation to prevent its outward expansion during well pressure events. The connector's fluid seal also comprises a relatively rigid connection between the connector's protective outer sleeve and the protective tubing encapsulating the conductor wire.

Down hole electrical connector and method for combating rapid decompression

A standoff for providing a fluid-tight seal for an electrical connection in a well between an electrical conductor extending from down hole of the well and a power source conductor extending from an above-ground power source is enclosed by and extends through and further into the wellbore. The power source conductor extends down hole to a connector for connecting the power source conductor to the electrical conductor. The standoff includes a rigid tube adapted to extend through a wellhead barrier of the well and terminate at a lower end. A rubber boot surrounds the rigid tube. An electrical insulative tubular body has a hole forming a first inner surface surrounding the power source cable between the lower end of the rigid tube and the connector, the rubber boot surrounding the tubular body. A sleeve is placed at one end of the tubular body and has a second, larger hole coaxial with the first hole and forming a second inner surface. An internal surface is formed between the first and second inner surfaces, the lip surrounding a portion of the rigid tube adjacent the lower end and the internal shoulder engages the lower end of the rigid tube for preventing the rubber boot from extruding between the tubular body and the rigid tube when pressurized and evenly distributing the compressive force on the end of the standoff. On the other end of the standoff, a washer sits atop the electrical connector and supports the insulation.

High pressure, high temperature standoff for electrical connector in an underground well

A connector for electrically and mechanically connecting insulated conductor wires encapsulated in protective tubing. Embodiments of the connector provide a protective outer sheathing that circumscribes the conductive and insulating structures within the connector. The connector is formed with a plurality of tubular fitting assemblies for securely attaching the connector to down hole electrical power cables. The connector is also formed with an internal insulating boot having an internal passage adapted to surround the conductive elements of the connector to provide a reliable down hole electrical connector.
