Abstract

Abstract A power actuating tool for connection to a coil tubing having first and second conduits for supplying first and second fluids, respectively, to the power tool. A housing includes first and second lines for connection to the coil tubing. A fluid actuated holding mechanism is connected to the housing and to the first line for receiving the first fluid for holding the housing in the wall. A fluid power actuator is connected to the housing and in fluid communication with the second line for providing fluid power for actuating the fluid power actuator. A control mechanism is connected to the first line and controls the supply of the second fluid to the fluid power actuator.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 134 words
A power actuating tool, for connection to a coil tubing having first and second conduits for supplying first and second fluids, respectively, for use in a well, comprising, a housing having first and second lines for connection to said coil tubing and to said first and second conduits, respectively, fluid actuated holding means connected to the housing, said holding means said holding means connected to the first line for receiving said first fluid for holding the housing in the well, fluid power actuating means connected to the housing and in fluid communication with the second line for providing fluid power for actuating said fluid power means, and control means connected to the first line, said control means controlling the supply of said second fluid in said second line to the fluid power actuating means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 134 words
A power actuating tool, for connection to a coil tubing having first and second conduits for supplying first and second fluids, respectively, for use in a well, comprising, a housing having first and second lines for connection to said coil tubing and to said first and second conduits, respectively, fluid actuated holding means connected to the housing, said holding means said holding means connected to the first line for receiving said first fluid for holding the housing in the well, fluid power actuating means connected to the housing and in fluid communication with the second line for providing fluid power for actuating said fluid power means, and control means connected to the first line, said control means controlling the supply of said second fluid in said second line to the fluid power actuating means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 87 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fluid actuated holding means includes, piston actuated gripping means, a first spring biased valve connected between the first line and the gripping means, said first valve biased to a closed position to overcome hydrostatic pressure in the first line but openable by pressurized first fluid, a second spring biased valve connected to the gripping means for venting pressure from the gripping means, said second valve biased to an open position to overcome hydrostatic pressure, but closable by pressurized first fluid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 47 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fluid actuated holding means includes, piston actuated holding means in fluid communication with the first line for actuating the holding means in response to fluid pressure, spring means biasing the piston sufficiently to overcome hyrostatic pressure in the first line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fluid power actuating means includes, piston actuated impact means, and fluid impact producing means positioned adjacent to and upstream of the power actuated impact means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the piston actuated impact means includes a check valve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The apparatus of claim 1 including means for venting the fluid pressure in communication with the second line.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 33 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fluid power actuating means includes, piston actuated power means having a spring return, and restricted vent means in fluid communication with the piston actuated power means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 187 words
A power actuating tool, for connection to a coil tubing having first and second conduits for supplying first and second fluids, respectively, for use in a well comprising, a housing having first and second lines for connection to said coil tubing and to said first and second conduits, respectively, fluid actuated holding means connected to the housing, said holding means being in fluid communication with the first line for receiving said first fluid for holding the housing in the well, a control valve in the housing connected to the first line and controlled by the first fluid, said control valve including an openable and closable first port in fluid communication with the second line, a pilot operated valve having a pilot in fluid communication with the first port and actuated by the second fluid when the first port is opened, said pilot valve including an openable and closable second port in fluid communication with the second line, and piston operated power actuating means in fluid communication with the second side of the second port for being actuated by the second fluid when the second port is opened.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 187 words
A power actuating tool, for connection to a coil tubing having first and second conduits for supplying first and second fluids, respectively, for use in a well comprising, a housing having first and second lines for connection to said coil tubing and to said first and second conduits, respectively, fluid actuated holding means connected to the housing, said holding means being in fluid communication with the first line for receiving said first fluid for holding the housing in the well, a control valve in the housing connected to the first line and controlled by the first fluid, said control valve including an openable and closable first port in fluid communication with the second line, a pilot operated valve having a pilot in fluid communication with the first port and actuated by the second fluid when the first port is opened, said pilot valve including an openable and closable second port in fluid communication with the second line, and piston operated power actuating means in fluid communication with the second side of the second port for being actuated by the second fluid when the second port is opened.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 38 words
The apparatus of claim 8 including, check valve means positioned in the second line between the second port and the piston operated power actuating means for providing a quick fluid impact to the piston operated power actuating means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 21 words
The apparatus of claim 8 including a restricted vent means in fluid communication with the second side of the second port.
