Abstract
A multi-component tubular coupling is provided for wellhead assemblies. In one embodiment, the multi-component tubular coupling may include a first tubular member, a landing ring, and a second tubular member. The second tubular member may include internal threads, lock screws, or any combination thereof to couple to a wellhead component. In another embodiment, the multi-component tubular coupling may only include the first tubular member and the landing ring. In such an embodiment, a wellhead component may be secured to the coupling via lock screws.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a coupling for a mineral extraction system, wherein the coupling comprises:
- a landing ring comprising a landing portion and a first protruding portion extending radially relative to the landing portion;
- a first tubular comprising a first tubular portion coupled to the landing ring;
- and
- a second tubular comprising a second tubular portion and a second protruding portion extending radially relative to the second tubular portion, wherein a first abutment surface of the first protruding portion is configured to radially overlap with a second abutment surface of the second protruding portion and a third abutment surface of the first tubular to block axial movement between the landing ring, the first tubular, and the second tubular.
A system, comprising:
- a wellhead component;
- and
- a coupling coupled to the wellhead component, wherein the coupling comprises:
- a first tubular comprising a first tubular portion;
- a second tubular comprising a second tubular portion;
- and
- a landing ring comprising a landing portion and a first protruding portion, wherein the landing portion is disposed inside the first tubular portion, the first protruding portion extends radially across an axial end of the first tubular portion, and the second tubular portion extends at least partially about the first tubular portion and the landing ring.
A system, comprising:
- a coupling for a mineral extraction system, wherein the coupling comprises:
- a landing ring comprising a landing portion and a first protruding portion extending radially relative to a central axis of the coupling;
- a seal ring landed on the landing portion of the landing ring;
- and
- an internal coupling disposed inside the seal ring, wherein the internal coupling comprises a first coupling portion configured to couple with a tubing extending below the landing ring, the seal ring, and the internal coupling.
