Abstract

A running tool for a subsea well utilizes a hydraulic circuit that will amplify tension pulled on drill pipe to perform various functions. The running tool has a pump cylinder which will pump hydraulic fluid once the running tool is latched into the wall assembly. The fluid is pumped out by upward movement of the drill pipe to a first function cylinder. The first function cylinder applies pressure to the well assembly to perform the first function. The operator pulls until a selected tension has been reached. Then the operator will slack off. At that moment, a pilot controlled control valve will shift to a second mode. In the second mode, continued pulling of tension on the drill pipe will supply hydraulic fluid to a second function cylinder.
