Bi-directional metal to metal sealing systems and methods

A sealing system, comprising:

• a first sealing surface associated with a first wellbore component, the first sealing surface arranged along an outer region of the first wellbore component;
• a second sealing surface associated with the first wellbore component, the second sealing surface arranged within a recess formed in the first wellbore component;
• a third sealing surface associated with a second wellbore component, the third sealing surface arranged along an outer diameter of the second wellbore component;
• and
• a fourth sealing surface associated with the second wellbore component, the fourth sealing surface arranged along a base region of the second wellbore component;
• wherein the second wellbore component is coupled to the first wellbore component to drive the third sealing surface against the first sealing surface to establish a first seal and to drive the fourth sealing surface against the second sealing surface to establish a second seal, and wherein the first seal is configured to resist a bore pressure and the second seal is configured to resist a tubing and casing annulus pressure.

A system for establishing a bi-directional metal to metal seal between a first downhole component and a second downhole component, comprising:

• a first metal to metal seal between the first downhole component and the second downhole component, the first metal to metal seal formed at a first contact location between a first sealing surface along an outer region of the first downhole component and a second sealing surface along an outer diameter of the second downhole component;
• and
• a second metal to metal seal between the first downhole component and the second downhole component, the second metal to metal seal formed at a second contact location between a third sealing surface within a recessed portion of the first downhole component and a fourth sealing surface along a base region of the second downhole component;
• wherein each of the first metal to metal seal and the second metal to metal seal are configured to resist pressure from an opposite radial direction.
