20090050310 | Combination Motor Casing and Spear - A wellhead removal tool features a rotary cutter run by a Moyno type progressive cavity pump that is powered by fluid pumped through it. The stator of the motor has a gripping device with a series of collets or slip inserts that have grip features that face outwardly. A support shoulder on the grip assembly cooperates with a j-slot connection to the stator to allow a cone to be moved under the collets to push them into a grip position below or in a selected portion of the wellhead where the grip will not damage the wellhead internal components. Fluid pumped through the downhole motor causes the casing cutter blades to extend and rotate to cut the casing. The grip allows the wellhead to be lifted away from the casing for recovery from the sea bed to surface. The grip can be retracted by use of the j-slot to allow the tool to be removed from the wellhead. | 02-26-2009 |

20130112397 | Spiral Whipstock for Low-Side Casing Exits - A whipstock features a spiral ramp so that, in a horizontal run, access to a milled window with other tools is not impeded because such tools can traverse onto the ramp and still be directed to the window. Angular rotation of the ramp can be at 180° or more and the pitch is selected to avoid getting the equipment being advanced into a bind. Optionally, a guide track can be configured into the whipstock ramp to help the mill follow the spiral path until the proper orientation is obtained and the track ends to allow separation of the mill from the track. A slot can be provided near the ramp upper end to aid in retrieval operations. | 05-09-2013 |

20100175139 | SOMATOTRANSGENIC BIOIMAGING - The invention relates to modelling diseases, to screening for compounds that modulate such diseases and to as-saying drug metabolism and toxicity in non-human transgenic animals, by a novel technique developed by the inventors known as “somatotransgenic bioimaging”. The invention thus provides: a method for determining whether the expression of a reporter gene is modulated by a compound or a method of evaluating the metabolism and/or toxicity of a compound, said method comprising: (a) administering said compound to a non-human transgenic animal, generated by gene transduction of one or more specific tissues when in utero or neonatal, with a vector comprising a bioluminescent reporter gene operably linked to a genetic element responsive to a pathology or therapy or to a genetic element responsive to drug metabolism and/toxicity; and (b) determining whether or not of said compound has an effect on the expression of said reporter gene in said specific tissue or tissues and/or determining the extent of any such effect, said determination comprising detecting from the animal bioluminescence caused by the activity of the gene product of the reporter gene. In some embodiments cells pre-transduced with vectors of the invention may also be introduced into the animals instead of delivering the vectors directly. | 07-08-2010 |
