Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are shearable control line connectors. One control line connector includes an upper coupling element, a lower coupling element communicably coupled to the upper coupling element, and a connector cap securing the upper coupling element to the lower coupling element and being configured to shear upon being subjected to an axial force, thereby effectively separating the upper coupling element from the lower coupling element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A control line connector, comprising: an upper coupling element configured to be coupled to an upper portion of a control line extending along an exterior of a downhole tubing, the upper coupling element providing a shoulder that extends radially outward from the upper coupling element; a lower coupling element communicably coupled to the upper coupling element and configured to be coupled to a lower portion of the control line extending along the ex…
