Abstract From the Canadian patent

A wellhead isolation tool is disclosed that is unique because the tool has no direct connection between the high pressure valve and the mandrel. Well stimulation fluids are pumped through one or more high pressure bores which communicate with a mandrel injection head that directs the fluids into the mandrel. The injection head and the mandrel are enclosed in a sealed bore and reciprocatably movable with a piston which is used to stroke the mandrel into and out of a wellhead ant to lock the mandrel in an operating position wherein ports in the injection heat are aligned with the high pressure bores. The tool provides superior safety features and ease of operation.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 28, 1992 and granted April 27, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 28, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 28, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
