摘要： Various devices/methods to move a set of slips and control gripping force on a tubular are disclosed. The slips may be part of a mechanically-actuated casing running tool. The slips may be moved into and out of engagement with a tubular member by rotating a portion of the tool. The rotation may be applied from top drive unit. Set down force or other frictional measures on a pipe collar are not required. A series of interconnected gears through a clutch may be used to cause the slips to engage/a tubular member. A force may be applied to stop rotation of a threaded member, such as a power screw female or threaded nut, to facilitate threading action to set or release the slips. The control of torque applied on the top drive unit and the subsequent dis-engagement of the clutch enables active control of gripping force on the tubular member.

摘要： A power tong assembly has a transmission box having a plurality of speeds. A gear train of the tong assembly completely encircles a rotary gear by including idler gears, fluid lines and actuating mechanisms within a tong door, which itself can be remotely operated. Cam roller assemblies can be inversely mounted into cage plates and a support race can be mounted into an opening, thereby eliminating the need to cut a groove in a rotary gear. Filler blocks can be inserted adjacent to gears to catch and redirect slung grease from gears back to said gears, while dampening noise and reducing the misuse of grease, thereby increasing effectiveness of lubrication. A make and break actuator assembly of the present invention can be housed on the power tong body such that it is completely covered from external damage except when momentarily activated. A symmetric rotary gear, rotary gear inserts, cam shoe inserts and over-travel cam stops are provided.

摘要： A fluid conducting swivel assembly permits selective transmission of control fluid under pressure through the swivel assembly, while reducing rotational friction and protecting the integrity of fluid pressure sealing elements of such swivel assembly during rotation. The fluid conducting swivel has sufficient strength to accommodate high axial loading and torque forces, while permitting high speed rotation.

摘要： A mating connection assembly permits quick and efficient connection and disconnection of tubular goods and equipment. A female box-end connection member has a body, a central through-bore, a bowl-like receptacle section having a tapered internal surface and inwardly-extending load shoulder members along the tapered internal surface, grouped in stacks of spaced-apart rows. A mating male pin-end connection member has a body section, a tapered pin extension, a central through-bore and lug members on the outer surface of the tapered pin extension. The tapered pin extension of the male pin-end connection member can be stabbed into the female box-end connection member and partially rotated. When joined in mating relationship, the connection assembly provides a fluid pressure seal, supports high-tensile axial loading and permits the transmission of torque through the connection assembly.

摘要： An apparatus for transferring torque comprising a pipe handling assembly configured to use fluid pressure to provide torque forces to set or release slips from a pipe. Set down force or other frictional measures on a pipe collar are not required. A method to create reactive torque force comprising a series of gears interconnected with each other through a clutch that can be engaged and disengaged. A link may be provided to a top drive rail via a gripperbox which provides reactive force to stop rotation of a power screw female (threaded nut) to facilitate threading action to set or release slips on pipe. Reactive force may be created using a plurality of axial pistons attached to a moveable half of a hirth coupling. Other friction-creating members (such as, for example, a brake pad material or similar material) may be used to create frictional forcesbetween two surfaces.

摘要： A “dump” or bypass system for use with fluid-powered tongs utilized to apply torque forces to threaded connections during pipe installation operations. A computer having a data processor monitors and analyzes rotations of, and torque forces applied to, pipe sections being assembled. A pilot-operated relief valve actuates a bypass dump valve. The bypass system operates in “real-time”, quickly and efficiently dumping fluid supplying a power tong—and stopping the application of torque forces on a pipe section—once a predetermined measured torque value is achieved.

摘要： A collar locating assembly ensures that that an elevator slip assembly does not engage against a pipe collar or coupling. An interlock system controls the operation of elevator slips, as well as related spider slips, in order to prevent unwanted simultaneous disengagement of both elevator and spider slips.

摘要： A down hole fluid conditioning assembly, includable within a drilling bottom hole assembly or other tool configuration, creates a vortex to separate fluids such as drilling mud and the like into a lower density first portion and higher density second portion. The lower density first portion is directed toward the bottom hole assembly or other equipment to improve operational performance of the bottom hole assembly or other equipment. The higher-density second portion is directed away from the bottom hole assembly or other equipment, typically into a well annulus with an upward velocity component.
