ABSTRACT:
A coupling switches control fluid from a tubing hanger to a downhole completion of a subsea well. The coupling, located between a tubing hanging running tool and a downhole completion, includes a coupling body and a tubing hanger. A hydraulic poppet switches control fluid flow from a first and second flow path. The hydraulic poppet includes an isolation sleeve for opening and closing a first and second inlet port. At least two perimeter seals provide fluid isolation for the first flow path. A retainer seal seals the coupling body against the second inlet port. A retaining sleeve holds the coupling body against the tubing hanger. A first and second circumferential seal are located on opposite ends between the coupling body and tubing hanger. The hydraulic poppet is adapted to move perimeter seals and the retainer seal to open and close the first and second inlet ports.
