Apparatus for fluid communication in oil and gas wells
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11885194B2) describes an apparatus comprising a stab body with a production bore and holes for annulus fluid flow, at least one inlet/outlet, a coupler body that can rotate relative to the stab body, hydraulic coupling elements, and coiled tubes in fluid communication with the hydraulic coupling elements and inlet/outlet. The apparatus also includes a flange on the stab body, a female-configured hydraulic coupling element with a metal seal, and pressure-containing connections for the coiled tubes.
Furthermore, the apparatus features a tubing hanger with hydraulic coupling elements, guide structures for orientation, and anti-rotation features. It also includes a subsea production tree, pressure-tight conduits, and separate components for first and second inlets/outlets, coiled tubes, and hydraulic coupling elements. The coupler body is designed to rotate in both directions for up to 180° each, allowing for versatile operation in various settings. These innovative features make the apparatus suitable for efficient fluid flow management in subsea environments, enhancing operational flexibility and reliability.
