ABSTRACT:
An hydraulically actuated stuffing box for use on a lubricator assembly or a grease injector section to seal around flexible line run through the lubricator assembly into an underwater well. The stuffing box has a piston on which control fluid acts, compressing a resilient seal in the stuffing box to seal around the line. The piston is biased to a position not compressing the seal to prevent hydrostatic pressure of the control fluid from compressing the seal to seize the line in deep water. The stuffing box and grease injector section have a through passageway for line. Both have an internal valve, which will automatically prevent surrounding water flow into a well or well outflow into the water when no flexible line is in the passageway.
