170 Controlled breaking of cables in a well casing US09721934 2000-11-27 US06296053B1 2001-10-02 Henning Hansen
A pipe string in an oil well has a cable 2 slidingly attached along it. It may be necessary to break the pipe string. Apparatus is provided for controlling the position of a fracture in the cable, as it is desirable to break the cable at about the same point. The apparatus comprises a pocket 1 attached to the cable and having a passage through which the cable passes, and upper and lower nipples 5 and 6 attached to the cable in the pocket. The lower face 5′ of the nipple 5 is skewed relative to the lower internal face 3′ of the pocket and the facing faces (5″, 6′) of the two nipples are skewed relative to each other, so bending and kinking the cable when tension is applied. The cable therefore breaks at the bend or kink. The pipe string includes a plurality of such apparatuses located at spaced points along its length.

173 Downhole safety valve for subterranean well and method US426762 1989-10-26 US4944351A 1990-07-31 Erik P. V. Eriksen; Brian K. Drakeley; Michael A. Carmody
A method and apparatus for replacing a defective downhole well safety valve of the full bore type by a wireline valve sealably insertable in the bore of the housing for the defective valve by wireline and operating the wireline inserted safety valve by fluid pressure supplied through an existing control fluid passage provided in the original safety valve housing. An internally projecting integral protuberance is provided in the bore of the original safety valve housing and a connecting fluid conduit is provided between the interior of the protuberance and the existing control fluid passage. A cutting tool is mounted on an axially shiftable sleeve disposed immediately above the protuberance. The axially shiftable sleeve is manipulated by an auxiliary tool temporarily inserted in the bore of the original valve housing and causing the cutting tool to remove the protuberance and thus establish fluid communication for the control fluid with the internal bore of the original safety valve housing. The insertion of a conventional in-tubing safety valve apparatus will permit such apparatus to be operated by control fluid pressure supplied through the opening provided by the severed or removed protuberance.

An inner housing is releasably retained within the tubular body and is provided with a wireline cutter to cut the wireline and release a wireline tool string that is stuck in a position blocking closure of the wellhead saftey valves and the wireline blowout preventor. The inner housing also incorporates a valve mechanism that automatically forms a pressure containing seal after the wireline has been cut to thus permit the stuffing box to be removed and another wireline assembly installed above the first wireline assembly for removing the inner housing and releasing the stuck wireline tool string.
175 Well servicing system US202361 1988-06-06 US4825953A 1989-05-02 Kwok-Ping Wong; Peter Cowan
Disclosed is a wireline well servicing system for underwater wells utilizing a lubricator stack having upper and lower sections connected by a remotely operable connector. The lower lubricator section includes a remotely operable valve connectable to a wellhead and a stress joint connected on the valve. The valve may be closed to retain pressure control of the well if the stress joint is fractured in bending by side loading on the lubricator stack. The upper lubricator section includes a remotely operable wireline clamp and cutter unit on a stuffing box. The clamp and cutter are remotely operable by the same control conduit to quickly clamp and cut the wireline to permit emergency removal of the surface service vessel. After the service vessel has moved back into working position above the underwater well, wireline servicing operations may be continued by latching onto the clamp cutter unit with a pulling tool on wireline from the vessel, and lifting the clamp cutter unit while pulling the cut wireline through the stuffing box until the tools attached to the wireline reach top in the upper lubricator section. The upper lubricator section is disconnected from the lower section and lifted to the vessel to prepare the clamp and cutter unit for further operation and replace the cut wireline with continuous line.
