Abstract
A connection release system for the disconnection of various connections, such as electrical, hydraulic, optical, and/or multi-connector, to a service tool in a high pressure environment. An embodiment of the connection release system includes a first and second housing portion with a piston disposed partially within both the first and second housing portions, the piston having a plurality of threads at an exterior portion of a second end. The system further includes a plurality of fluid chambers disposed in the first housing portion, the fluid chambers are filled with fluid to pressure-balance the piston such that the addition of a pressurized fluid to the pressure-balanced piston causes the piston to move, the exterior threaded portion of the piston to disengage an interior threaded portion within the housing second portion, and allow the first housing portion to separate from the second housing portion.
