10 independent · 4 dependent

1
Independentblowout recovery valve
1 A blowout recovery valve, comprising: a valve having a smaller end and a larger end, with the larger end being suitably dimensioned and conﬁgured to be placed over an open end of a well pipe through which a ﬁrst ﬂuid is escaping; a retu r n pipe connected to the smal ler end of the valve; a sleeve, suitably dimensioned and conﬁgured to be placed inside the open end of the well pipe, with the sleeve being connected to the ret urn pipe; a high p r essure pipe passing through the valve, suitably di m ensioned and conﬁgured to be insertab l e into the well pipe; and wherein, when [[the]] a second ﬂuid is pumped through the high pressure pipe at a pressure greater than that of the ﬁrst ﬂuid, the ﬁrst ﬂuid will be separated b y the second ﬂuid in a space adjacent to an end of the high pressure pipe th a t has been inserted into the wel l pip e, and a portion of the ﬁrst ﬂuid that is not held back by the greater pressure of the second ﬂuid will ﬂow through the sleeve and the return pipe at an accelerated velocity, but at a reduced pressure due to the Bernoulli eﬀect, thus supplying suction to help move the valve down onto the well pipe, which is enhanced by pressure from the ﬁrst ﬂuid in the well pipe.
1. 2
  Dependent← claim 1blowout recovery valve
  The blowout recovery valve according to claim 1, further comprising: expanding rings with locking mechanisms, that secure the sleeve inside the well pipe and prevent leakage.
2. 3
  Dependent← claim 1blowout recovery valve
  (original) The blowout recovery valve according to claim 1, further comprising: support arms, that secure the sleeve to the high pressure pipe.
3. 5
  Dependent← claim 1blowout recovery valve
  The blowout recovery valve according to claim 1, wherein: one or more turbines accelerate the ﬂo w of the escaping ﬁrst ﬂuid through the return pipe, while pressure from the ﬁrst ﬂuid in the well pipe also increases the speed of the propellers.
4. 6
  Dependent← claim 1blowout recovery valve
  The blowout recovery valve according to claim 1, further comprising: one or more positioning ri ngs attached to the high pressure pipe, that can ﬁt inside the well pipe, with propellers inside the positioning rings that accelerate the ﬂow of the escaping ﬁrst ﬂuid through the return pipe.
4
Independentblowout recovery valve
The blowout recovery valve accordin g to cla im 1. wherein: propellers accelerate the ﬂo w of the escaping ﬁrst ﬂuid through the return pipe, while pressure from the ﬁrst ﬂuid in the well pipe also increases the speed of the propellers.
