CA 2549113

A connector connects auxiliary flow lines - and, in some configurations, electrical lines - that extend through and terminate at or near opposing ends of two respective components of a downhole tool string. The connector comprises a body assembly for fluidly- connecting the auxiliary flow lines and electrically-connecting the electrical lines of the respective two components, and an assembly for adjusting the length of the body assembly. In particular embodiments, the two components are discrete modules of a unitary tool, or alternatively, are distinct tools. Additionally, the connector may include a mechanism for closing the auxiliary flow lines of one or both components upon disconnection of the fluid connection between the two components.

Un connecteur relie les canalisations d'écoulement auxiliaires - et, dans certaines configurations, les lignes électriques - qui s'étendent au travers de deux composants respectifs d'une chaîne d'outils de fond et se terminent à leurs extrémités opposées ou tout près. Le connecteur comprend un corps de transfert de fluide, reliant les canalisations d'écoulement auxiliaires et connectant électriquement les lignes électriques des deux composants respectifs, et un ensemble pour régler la longueur du corps. Dans des modes de réalisation particuliers, les deux composants sont des modules discrets d'un outil unique, ou sont des outils distincts. En outre, le connecteur peut comprendre un mécanisme de fermeture des canalisations d'écoulement auxiliaires d'un ou des deux composants lors de la déconnexion de la canalisation de fluide entre les deux composants.
