RADIAL PENETRATOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

摘要

Radial penetrator assembly (10) conducts fluid through the passageway in the wall to a wellhead housing (18) and into a port in a tubular hanger (14) positioned within a central bore (19) in the wellhead housing. The flexible tube (22) extends between the passageway in the wellhead housing and the port in the inner member, while sleeve-shaped adapter (30) extends radially from the wellhead housing and has an adapter bore sealed to a radial passageway in the wellhead housing. A radial outer seal (64) seals between the radial outer portion of the adapter (30) and a radially outer portion of the flexible tube (22). The flexibility of the tube permits an inner portion axis with the tube to be offset or slanted with respect to an outer portion axis of the tube.
