IPC: E21B33/05
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: The plug-dropping container (2) comprises an elongated housing (10), and a canister (30) disposed co-axially within the housing. The canister (30) is movable from a lower position to an upper position. In its lower position, a fluid bypass area (16) is defined above the canister. When a dart (8) is retained within the canister, fluid is diverted through the bypass (16) and around the canister (30) within an annular area defined between the canister and the housing (10). In one aspect, the canister (30) is moved by rotation of a plug-retaining device (40) below the canister. In its plug-retained position, the plug-retaining device is oriented so that the wall (44) of the plug-retaining device blocks the downward path of the dart (8). In the plug-released position, the plug-retaining device (40) raises the canister (30) to its upper position, substantially shutting off the bypass (16). A channel (45) in the plug-retaining device is thus aligned with a channel (35) in the canister for receiving the plug, and for release into the wellbore (18).

Abstract: A proofer includes an enclosure defining a chamber. An air circulation system includes a passageway having an air inlet and an air outlet connected to the chamber. A first fan pulls air into the air inlet from the chamber, and expels air from the outlet into the chamber. A fluid reservoir is positioned adjacent the air circulation system, such that air contacting fluid in the reservoir upon actuation of the first fan is humidified. A heating element heats fluid in the fluid reservoir, and a second fan flows air over at least a portion of the reservoir outside the chamber and cools fluid in the reservoir. A controller selectively actuates the heating element and the second fan based upon the temperature and/or humidity in the chamber to control the temperature of the fluid in the reservoir and thereby reduce fluctuations in temperature and humidity within the chamber.
