    Abstract: A drill stem grease injector for a directional drill and associated methods are disclosed. Example drill stem grease injectors include a piston within an injection chamber, and a grease port in a side of the injection chamber, wherein grease port is configured to actuate before motion of the piston during an injection operation. Drill stem grease systems shown provide refill capabilities that reduce or eliminate a user's need to touch grease.

    Abstract: A leak detection system includes a light source configured to output emitted light into a region of water, and a light detector configured to receive returned light from the region of the water and to output a detector signal indicative of the returned light. The leak detection system also includes at least one controller configured to detect hydrocarbons within the region of the water in response to detecting a hydrocarbon wavelength within the returned light, to determine at least one position of the hydrocarbons within the region of the water based on a time difference between a first time at which the emitted light is output from the light source and a second time at which the returned light at the hydrocarbon wavelength is received at the light detector, and to generate a three-dimensional model of a subsea structure based on the detector signal.

    Abstract: Provided is a downhole tool, a well system, and a method for forming a well system. The downhole tool, in at least one aspect, includes a two part drilling and running tool, the two part drilling and running tool including a conveyance, a smaller assembly coupled to an end of the conveyance, and a larger bit assembly slidably coupled to the conveyance, the smaller assembly and larger bit assembly configured to slidingly engage one another downhole to form a combined bit assembly. The downhole tool, in accordance with this aspect, further includes a whipstock assembly coupled to the two part drilling and running tool using a coupling mechanism, and a hydraulically actuated anchoring assembly coupled to a downhole end of the whipstock assembly. The downhole tool, in accordance with this aspect, additionally includes a multilateral junction seal assembly coupled between the whipstock assembly and the hydraulically actuated anchoring assembly.
