Title: Expandable injector pipe
Inventor: WEIRICH JOHN B
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: An expandable injector pipe has openings (60) and a cover sleeve (62) preferably secured at opposed ends with offset openings (64). Expansion of the base pipe causes the cover sleeve to expand while keeping the openings in the cover sleeve misaligned with the openings in the base pipe. Pressure from within the base pipe flexes the resilient cover sleeve to allow fluid to exit through the cover sleeve. Upon removal of applied pressure, the cover sleeve moves back against the base pipe to cover the openings in the base pipe to prevent flow in the reverse direction.
