In an apparatus (20) for use in a borehole of a type comprising a rotatable shaft (24) and a housing (46) for rotatably supporting the shaft therein, a rotation restraining device (252) is associated with the housing (46) for restraining its rotation. The device (252) includes a plurality of rollers (254), each having an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the housing (46) and being oriented such that it is capable of rolling about its axis of rotation in response to a force exerted thereon substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein at least two of the rollers (254) are spaced about a circumference of the housing (46) and axially along the housing (46) so that the rollers (254) are staggered axially along the housing (46). Alternatively, the device (252) includes a plurality of pistons (268), wherein at least two of the pistons (268) are spaced about a circumference of the housing (46) and axially along the housing (46) so that the pistons (268) are staggered axially along the housing (46).

183 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATIONS IN UNDERGROUND/SUBSEA OIL AND GAS WELLS EP00971906.3 2000-10-23 EP1362158A1 2003-11-19 BAKKE, Stig
There has been explained a method and an apparatus for use in the advancing of a rotating motorised downhole tool for carrying out operations in an oil/gas well, especially in connection with the drilling and milling away of casing/casing sections in a well, which is to be abandoned and plugged by grouting with a cement mixture, which will then reach the formation wall surface where the casing/casing portion was milled away and removed. The rotating tool and its driving motor are indirectly suspended on coiled tubing at the free end thereof. As the platforms used for carrying out these operations are normally without rigs, it is advantageous to use coiled tubing to advance the tool/motor. However, coiled tubing cannot absorb a sufficient torque from the tool/motor. Therefore the tool with its motor is connected to a carriage, a so-called 'rolling anchor' (1) which absorb torques that occur, and is connected to the end of coiled tubing through a swivel coupling (so that the torque will not be transmitted). Through the carriage (1) connected through the swivel coupling to the coiled tubing, a pull on the coiled tubing provides the tool and motor with advancing power for longitudinal movement, so that the advancing of the tool takes place from below upwards, whereby it has also been taken into account, that to the coiled tubing there cannot be supplied any particularly great downward forces.
