OPERATING SLEEVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026754 titled 'OPERATING SLEEVE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a downhole apparatus that includes a sleeve body with an internal thread and a plug seat pressed into the threaded portion of the sleeve body. The plug seat has an unthreaded outer surface with a larger diameter than the thread minor diameter.
- The downhole apparatus is designed with a sleeve body that has an internal thread, allowing for secure fastening of components.
- A plug seat is inserted into the threaded portion of the sleeve body, providing a sealing surface.
- The plug seat has an outer surface that is larger in diameter than the thread minor diameter, ensuring a tight fit and preventing leakage.
Potential Applications:
- Oil and gas industry: The downhole apparatus can be used in drilling and completion operations to secure and seal components in downhole tools.
- Mining industry: The apparatus can be utilized in mining operations to provide a reliable connection and seal in underground equipment.
Problems Solved:
- Leakage prevention: The apparatus solves the problem of potential leaks by providing a tight seal between components.
- Secure fastening: The internal thread on the sleeve body allows for secure fastening of components, preventing loosening or detachment during operation.
Benefits:
- Improved reliability: The downhole apparatus ensures a secure and tight connection, reducing the risk of leaks and failures.
- Enhanced efficiency: The apparatus simplifies the assembly process by providing a threaded sleeve body and a plug seat, allowing for easy and quick installation.
- Cost-effective: By preventing leaks and ensuring secure connections, the apparatus helps reduce maintenance and repair costs associated with downhole operations.
