Retrievable Electric Subsurface Safety Valve and Nipple Assembly

Abstract: a well system includes an electrically operated wireline-retrievable subsurface safety valve (wlsssv) disposed in a landing nipple assembly attached to a production tubing string. the wlsssv includes an electrical actuator and a first electrical connector. the nipple assembly includes a second electrical connector on a first end of a lever that pivots on a fulcrum as a second end of the lever engages against an external surface of the wlsssv as the wlsssv is inserted into the main bore of the nipple assembly, thereby rotating the second connector towards the first connector to at least partially align the second connector with the first connector for electrical engagement of the first connector with the second connector.
