<p>A method of making a connection in hydrocarbon production equipment comprising positioning at least a portion of a receiving component about at least a portion of an insertable component, providing a swellable element within a circumferential space substantially defined by the at least a portion of the receiving component and the at least a portion the insertable component, and allowing the swellable element to expand. A hydrocarbon production equipment apparatus comprising an insertable component positioned within a receiving component, and a swellable element positioned between at least a portion of the insertable component and at least a portion of the receiving component, wherein the insertable component, the receiving component, or both is coupled to a hydrocarbon production equipment member, wherein the swellable element swells in response to contact with a swelling agent.</p> |
