Abstract
A valve assembly (100) is provided with a body (102) and a field injection port (200) formed with the body (102) during manufacturing of the body (102). The field injection port (200) comprises an orientation that guides a drilling implement placed therein along a predetermined path (202) to intersect a targeted location (204).
Claims53
A method of manufacturing a valve assembly, comprising:
- forming a body;
- defining a field injection port in the body;
- configuring the field injection port to accept a drilling implement;
- orienting the field injection port to guide the drilling implement along a predetermined path that intersects a targeted location in the valve assembly.

A valve assembly (100), comprising:
- a body (102);
- and
- a field injection port (200) formed with the body (102) during manufacturing of the body (102), wherein the field injection port (200) comprises an orientation that guides a drilling implement placed therein along a predetermined path (202) to intersect a targeted location (204).
A method of repairing a valve assembly having a body, comprising:
- drilling an injection bore in the body through a field injection port with a drilling implement, the field injection port being defined by the body during manufacturing of the valve assembly;
- and
- guiding the drilling implement, with the field injection port, along a predetermined path in the body to form a drilled injection bore that intersects a targeted location;
- fluidically coupling the field injection port with the targeted location with the drilled injection bore;
- and
- injecting a repair fluid into the field injection port and subsequently into the targeted location via the drilled injection bore.
