Abstract
A deep well flexible hose for use in extracting fluids and gases from deep wells includes a relatively flexible hose portion being of a length sufficient to extend to an operable position within the well, wherein the hose portion is of a predetermined temperature and pressure limit, corrosion resistance and weight load capacity and elasticity factor such that when the hose portion is so disposed in the well to the operable position, the hose portion's elasticity factor is exceeded due to the weight load normally exerted and means fixably connect to the hose portion for preventing the hose portion's elasticity factor from being exceeded at the operable position due to the weight load. A method is also provided.
Claims6
A flexible hose for use in extracting fluids and gases from a relatively deep well, comprising:
- a relatively flexible hose portion being of a length sufficient to extend to an operable position within the well, wherein said hose portion is of a predetermined weight load capacity and elasticity factor such that when said hose portion is so disposed in the well to said operable position, said hose portion's elasticity factor is normally exceeded due to weight load existing thereon;
- a sleeve fixably connected to said hose portion;
- and
- a relatively inelastic cable fixably connected to said sleeve such that said weight load is transferred to said cable via said sleeve and said cable aids in carrying said weight load such that said elasticity factor of said hose portion is not exceeded.
A deep well flexible hose for use in extracting fluids and gases from a relatively deep well comprising:
- a relatively flexible hose portion being of a length sufficient to extend to an operable position within a well, wherein said hose portion is of a predetermined weight load capacity and elasticity factor such that when said hose portion is so disposed in the well to said operable position, said hose portion's elasticity factors normally exceeded due to weight load existing thereon;
- and
- means fixably connected to said hose portion for preventing said hose portion's elasticity factor from being exceeded at said operable position by said load, said hose portion characterized as including a plurality of generally coaxially aligned hose portions, said coaxially aligned hose portions being concentrically positioned with an inner hose portion and outer hose portion, and said preventing means characterized as including a connector having concentric inner and outer communication means for permitting communication between said outer hose portion with said outer communication means and said inner hose portion with said inner communication means.
A method of disposing flexible hose for use in extracting fluids and gases from a relatively deep well, comprising:
- providing a relatively flexible hose portion being of a length sufficient to extend to an operable position within the well, wherein said hose portion is of a predetermined weight load capacity and elasticity factor such that when said hose portion is so disposed in the well to said operable position, said hose portion's elasticity factor is normally exceeded due to weight load existing thereon;
- providing a sleeve fixably connected to said hose portion;
- and
- providing a relatively inelastic cable fixably connected to said sleeve such that said weight load is transferred to said cable via said sleeve and said cable aids in carrying said weight load such that said elasticity factor of said hose portion is not exceeded.
