Deep-set subsurface safety valve assembly

摘要

An apparatus and method for use in a cased well having a production tubing assembly installed in the well and terminating with a connection mechanism at a subterranean location. The apparatus and method utilizes a spoolable tubular assembly for installation extending into the well to the connection mechanism wherein the tubular assembly has a plurality of conductors formed connected to electrically operable valve, sensors and tubing latch in the tubular assembly. In the method the assembly is spooled into the well with the tubing latch being operated from outside the well through the tubing conductors to selectively connect and disconnect the assembly from the connector mechanism. Operating the salve and sensors from outside the well when the assembly is installed. The assembly tubing is preferably made of a non-conductive, and preferably composite material that enclosed at least one, and preferably a plurality of electrical conductors.
