HYDRAULIC CONDUCTOR PIPE CONNECTOR

摘要

A conductor pipe connector assembly for coupling a pressure containing component to a conductor pipe of a subterranean well includes an annular slip bowl circumscribing the conductor pipe. An annular slip segment is located between the slip bowl and the conductor pipe. A slip actuation ring is located between the slip bowl and the slip segment the slip actuation ring having a beveled surface in sliding contact with one of the slip bowl and the slip segment. An elongate annular piston member circumscribes the conductor pipe and is coupled to the slip action ring, the piston member is movable by a pressure medium, such as hydraulic fluid or pressurized gas, to an engaged position to urge the slip segment radially inward against the conductor pipe.
