Ramey, LLP is thrilled to announce the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,012,817 to our client, Reginald Waye Layden! This patent, titled "COIL STRUCTURE," represents a significant advancement in coil structure technology, particularly for oil and gas operations.

This innovative patent focuses on a novel coil structure unit designed to improve efficiency and flexibility in well operations. The core of the invention lies in its unique design, featuring:

  • A Base and Tower Structure: The unit comprises a robust base and a tower structure, providing stability and support.
  • Multiple Intermediate Units: The tower structure is constructed from a plurality of intermediate units, allowing for modularity and scalability.
  • Optimized Intermediate Section Length: Each intermediate section boasts a length of approximately 50 feet, a key feature of the invention.
  • Manipulator Compatibility: This specific length enables the use of a manipulator, allowing equipment such as lubricators and blowout preventers to be integrated directly into the loads.
  • Reduced Rig-Up Time and Complexity: By integrating essential equipment, the design significantly reduces rig-up time and operational complexity.
  • Enhanced Operational Flexibility: The design offers increased flexibility for taking items on and off the hole, streamlining operations.

This patented coil structure significantly enhances operational efficiency and safety in well operations. The ability to integrate critical equipment directly into the loads minimizes handling and setup time, leading to substantial improvements in productivity. The increased flexibility also allows for more adaptable operations in various well conditions.

This patent grant is a testament to Reginald Waye Layden's commitment to improving oil and gas technology. We congratulate him on this remarkable achievement and look forward to witnessing the impact of his innovation in the industry.
