Pneumatic Well Casing Pressure Regulating System

View page
US Patent:
47007397, Oct 20, 1987
Filed:
Nov 14, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/798634
Inventors:
Mark C. Flohr - Irvine CA
Assignee:
Smith International, Inc. - Newport Beach CA
International Classification:
E21B 3408
US Classification:
137488
Abstract:
A pneumatic pressure regulating system controls a choke having a hydraulic operator actuator for selectively opening or closing the choke to control pressure in a well casing. The system applies periodic pulses of pneumatic pressure for opening an output valve in one direction when the actual casing pressure is greater than a selected control pressure for opening the choke, and applies periodic pulses of pneumatic pressure for opening the output valve in another direction when casing pressure is less than the set pressure for closing the choke. The interval between sucessive pulses is adjusted to be long enough for the pressure in the casing to equilibrate before the next pulse occurs.

Pneumatic Stepping Actuator Positioner

US Patent:
47234741, Feb 9, 1988
Filed:
Feb 5, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/826272
Inventors:
Mark C. Flohr - Irvine CA
Assignee:
Smith International, Inc. - Newport Beach CA
International Classification:
F15B 2102
F15B 1316
US Classification:
91 36
Abstract:
A pneumatic control system for a reversible stepping actuator has an analog pneumatic control signal and an analog signal indicative of actual position of the actuator. Imbalance in these signals opens one or the other of a pair of comparator valves having inlets connected to a source of pneumatic pressure. Opening of either of the comparator valves enables a pulse timer which converts the pneumatic pressure from either of the comparator valves to pulses of pneumatic pressure applied to one or the other of the operators of the reversible stepping actuator. An oscillating pneumatic timer may be used to produce the pressure pulses, or an electric timer can be used to "chop" one of the pneumatic pressures into periodic pulses.
