Latest Patents

One of Robert Graham's latest patents is focused on optical fiber connections. This invention describes optical fiber connections and their applications in downhole assemblies. The downhole assembly includes a well completion element with an end that couples with a corresponding well completion element. An optical fiber extends along at least a portion of the well completion element and transmits an optical signal using a first mode. The well completion element includes an optical fiber connector that is coupled to the optical fiber. The connector also includes a mode converter that receives the optical signal from the optical fiber and converts it from the first mode to a second larger mode. This second larger mode may be more robustly communicated to a corresponding optical fiber connector affixed to the corresponding well completion element.

Another notable patent by Graham is a technique that provides protection against unwanted conditions in wellhead structures and other structures. According to this technique, a system provides a feed through in a wellhead structure or other type of structure. The feed through may accommodate a communication line routed therethrough. A closing device is positioned in the structure at a location to enable closing of the feed through via the closing device. Additionally, a condition-sensitive device is operatively engaged with the closing device to initiate actuation of the closing device once exposed to a predetermined condition. Upon exposure to this condition, the condition-sensitive device initiates closing of the feed through via the closing device.
