Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus that can withstand high forces and capable of disconnect floating seals within a polish bore receptacle in a controlled manner by applying annulus pressure. This invention provides reliable and efficient solutions for positioning assembly downhole and separating completion string sections that facilitate wellbore operations while minimizing risk.
Claims14
A hydraulic downhole disconnector comprising:
- a. A locking mechanism configured to securely disengage components of a completion string within a wellbore.
- b. A hydraulic actuator operatively connected to the locking mechanism;
- the hydraulic actuator being adapted to generate a controlled force for initiating separation of said components.
- c. A control system communicatively coupled to the hydraulic actuator;
- the control system configured to regulate hydraulic pressure to control the disengagement process.
- d. A tubing interface configured to facilitate connection to a production tubing, wherein said hydraulic downhole disconnector is configured to selectively isolate a section of the completion string.
- e. A disconnector assembly configured to engage a seal bore within a seal bore seal.
- f. A locator mechanism integrated within the disconnector assembly;
- the locator mechanism adapted to establish a precise axial position within the seal bore.
- g. A release mechanism operatively connected to the disconnector assembly;
- the release mechanism configured to selectively disengage the disconnector assembly from the seal bore.
