A method of self-aligning connections for a two section mast. The method includes the steps of transporting the elongated bottom mast section to a guide frame adjacent to a well site, the bottom mast section having a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs. An elongated top mast section is transported to the well site, the top mast section having a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs. The legs of the bottom mast section are positioned slightly below a level of the legs of the top mast section. Thereafter, the bottom mast section is raised slightly to order to engage the top mast section while simultaneously aligning the mast sections together. The sections are thereafter pinned together.

A process to transport a blow out preventer for a drilling rig having a drawworks wherein the blow out preventer is transported between a storage area and a use position over a wellbore. The process includes the steps of connecting an upper connector end of an elongated running tool to the drawworks of the drilling rig. The elongated running tool is moved in position parallel to the wellbore using the drawworks of the drilling rig. The running tool is lowered so that a stab connection is made between a lower connector end of the running tool and the blow out preventer. The blow out preventer is thereafter moved over and in alignment with the wellbore.

A liner retention system for a reciprocating pump having a piston and a piston rod operating in a cavity of a frame. The system includes a cylindrical liner for the piston and piston rod, the liner having a radially extending external shoulder. A liner clamp plate has a central opening receivable over the liner and a plurality of stud apertures. A plurality of studs extends from the frame, each stud terminating in a threaded end spaced from a module block. At least one compression sleeve has an inside diameter larger than an external diameter of the stud. Tensioner mechanism secures each stud to the liner clamp plate to thereby secure the cylindrical liner to the module block.

The present invention is a system and method for smoothing melting curve data to help identify a specific sequence of double stranded DNA sample after performing a polymerase chain reaction. The system comprises a plurality of measurements of a fluorescence and a temperature of a dye over a temperature range to create a raw array; calculating a collapse number using a temperature resolution that facilitates the smoothing of the melting curve data, a number of data points in the raw array, and a temperature data range from the raw array; calculating a plurality of fluorescence averages and a plurality of temperature averages from the collapse number and the raw array; and generating a smooth array from the plurality of fluorescence averages and the plurality of temperature averages wherein the smooth array decreases a variability in the raw array.

A process to transport and assemble a drilling or workover rig substructure. The process includes the steps of transporting a driller side substructure section and an off driller side substructure section to a rig site so that the sections are spaced from and parallel to each other. A center substructure section is transported to the rig site. The center substructure section is moved into a space between the driller side and the off driller side sections. The center substructure section is thereafter connected to the driller side and to the off driller side subsections. A floor of the driller side substructure and a floor of the off driller side substructure are raised while both connected to the center substructure section from a transport position to a use position while maintaining the floors parallel to the bases.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to move a modular drilling rig in formation wherein the drilling rig includes a plurality of self-propelled modules to facilitate the movement of the rig while all systems are intact and fully operational. The apparatus includes a plurality of wheel assemblies which are steerable to guide the modules during movement. The apparatus also includes a propulsion system for each of the modules to drive each of the modules during movement. A steering control and position feedback system is also provided for determining the relative position of each module with respect to the master module. This control and feedback system provides feedback to the steering control and feedback systems of other modules in order to move the modules in a formation.

A novel antenna system that uses tuned components in different unique combinations in order to tune an antenna system to frequency bands of interest. Compared to using unique components for each tuned frequency band this approach requires fewer components and consequently reduces cost for the antenna system, minimizes space requirements for the antenna system and greatly improves the number of tuned frequency bands possible. In addition, the resulting system can provide the tuned frequencies or bands through discrete means, such as push button, versus commonly used analog methods as employed in antenna tuners/systems (known to those skilled in the art). Furthermore, this antenna system provides the basis for a specific antenna system solution when connected to a handie talkie, HT or handheld scanner suitable for handheld use in the frequency bands between 3 MHz and 30 MHz, although easily extended by a person skilled in the art.

A process to lower or raise a drilling rig for transportation wherein the drilling rig includes a mast and a top drive. The process to lower includes the steps of moving the top drive within the mast with a vertical guide and torque reaction mechanism to a locked position and locking the top drive to the mast with a locking mechanism. The mast and the top drive are lowered together from a vertical position to a horizontal position. The combined mast and top drive may then be transported in the horizontal position without disconnecting electrical, mud line or other services.
