DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10 is a typical underwater well completion embodying the improved valve of the present invention in each of the dual production strings. This structure includes the mandrel M which supports the casing C, the dual string tubing hanger H which supports the tubing strings T, and the completion means, such as the diverter body B, which is suitably secured in the mandrel M by the latch L.
As shown in FIG. 1, the running strings R are running the tubing strings T and the tubing hanger I-I into position within the diverter body B. The remotely controlled ball valves V are mounted in the sleeves S which are slidably positioned within the bores through the tubing hanger H. The valves V are retained in open position by the running strings R during running as shown in FIG. 1 and hereinafter explained.
The ball valves V are retained between an upper seat 10 and a lower seat 12 defined in the sleeves S. The ball valves V have a generally spherical shape with a bore 14 extending through the ball valves and include a means for actuation between open and closed positions responsive to axial movement of the sleeves 5. Such actuation means includes the pins 16 which are secured in the tubing hanger H and extend through slots in the sleeve S into the grooves 18 defined in the sides of the valves V. Thus, as sleeves S and valves V move axially of the hanger H, the engagement of the pins 16 in the grooves 18 causes the ball valves V to rotate. The open or closed positions of the valves V are thus determined by the position of the sleeves S in the hanger H.
The valves V are open, i.e., their bores 14 register with the bores of the sleeves S above and below the valves, when the sleeves S are in their lowermost position with respect to tubing hanger H. The sleeves S are also biased in an upward direction by a biasing means so that the valves V are biased toward their closed position. The biasing means includes the springs 20 which surround the lower portions of sleeves S and are confined between the upwardly facing internal shoulders 22 on the tubing hanger and the downwardly facing external shoulders 24 on the sleeves S.
In running tubing strings T, it is desired that the strings remain open. As previously mentioned, the running strings R retain the valves V in open position during running by the engagement of the lower end 26 of the running strings R with the upper ends of the sleeves S. Since the strings R thread into the hanger I-l above the sleeves S, the position of the lower end 26 of strings R is preselected to engage the sleeves S and retain the sleeves S in their lowermost position against the force of the springs 20. This is clearly illustrated in FIG. I. When the tubing hanger has been landed and is latched into position in body B by the latch 28 which is seen in FIG. [0, then the running strings R are removed. The removal of the running strings R is shown in FIG. 2. As shown, the upward threading of the running strings R allows the sleeves S to move upwardly responsive to the force exerted by springs 20 closing the valves V.
Before production can be commenced. the diverter plug P is lowered into position within the diverter body B as shown in FIG. 3. The diverter plug P latches in seated position in body B and has the stingers 30 which engage within the upper end of the bores in the tubing hanger H. The lower end of the stingers 30 engage the upper end of sleeve S in its upper position but do not move the sleeve S downwardly. The diverter plug P defines the production passages 32 to the production lines 34. When the valves V are open, the production lines 34 are in communication with the interiors of their respective tubing strings T.
