121 REMOTE OPERATION OF A ROTATING CONTROL DEVICE BEARING CLAMP AND SAFETY LATCH US13300335 2011-11-18 US20120125633A1 2012-05-24 Leonard C. LINDE; Reece E. CASHION; Larry D. WHITE
An RCD can include a housing assembly which contains a bearing assembly and an annular seal which rotates and seals off an annulus between a tubular string and an RCD body, a remotely operable clamp device which selectively permits and prevents relative displacement between the housing assembly and the body, and a remotely operable safety latch which selectively permits and prevents unclamping of the clamp device. A method of remotely operating an RCD clamp device can include remotely operating a safety latch which selectively permits and prevents unclamping of the clamp device, and remotely operating the clamp device while the safety latch is in an unlatched position, thereby unclamping a bearing housing assembly from the RCD body. Another RCD can include a remotely operable clamp device which selectively permits access to an RCD body interior, and a remotely operable safety latch which selectively prevents unclamping of the clamp device.

133 Stuffing box for progressing cavity pump drive US10638737 2003-08-11 US07044217B2 2006-05-16 Vern Arthur Hult
Progressive cavity (PC) pump drive heads require a stuffing box to seal crude oil from leaking onto the ground where the polish rod passes from the crude oil passage in the wellhead to the drive head. Because crude oil typically contains fine sand particles, alignment between the stuffing box and the polished rod is imperfect, and PC drive heads run continuously, it is very difficult make stuffing boxes that last as long as desirable by oil production companies. By using a flexibly mounted standpipe in various configurations, around which is a bearing supported shaft carrying the sealing means, long term durability of the stuffing box can be achieved. By using a pressurization system such that the pressure output exceeds the pressure at the wellhead, stuffing box seal life can be extended and external leakage from the stuffing box can be eliminated. A double wall standpipe may be provided in some applications as part of the pressurization system. In some cases pressurization of the stuffing box is sufficiently advantageous that a floating standpipe is not economically warranted.
134 Non-rotating cement wiper plugs US10308626 2002-12-03 US06945326B2 2005-09-20 Raymond F. Mikolajczyk
A non-rotating cement wiper plug has an insert, with inner and outer telescoping sleeves, within a resilient outer body. The outer body has annular fins which bear against a casing wall. The inner sleeve has a tapering nose within a tapered cavity in the outer sleeve. Slots in the outer sleeve form a plurality of segments. The inner and outer sleeves are preferably of a frangible material. When the plug is pumped down and lodges against downhole float equipment, pump pressure compresses the plug, forces the inner sleeve down within the outer sleeve, forces the segments radially outward, and fractures or separates the outer sleeve segments. The outer body is forced against the casing wall so tightly that it cannot rotate in response to the forces from a rotary drill bit. Lock surfaces on the inner and outer sleeves lock them together and maintain the outer body in its forced-outwardly position.
135 Well stuffing box packing US10713682 2003-11-14 US20050103505A1 2005-05-19 Scott Lappin

136 Arrangement for the removal of cuttings and gas arising from drilling operations US10334333 2002-12-26 US06877565B2 2005-04-12 Per Espen Edvardsen
An end piece arrangement is mounted on an end of a pipe sleeve to close off the annular passage between the pipe sleeve and drill stem and to divert an upward flow of sludge, cuttings and gas into a conduit system to transport the flow to a remote location. In one embodiemnt, the arrangement is a self-contained unit that houses seal rings to seal against the drill stem. In another embodiment, the arrangement includes separate components; i.e. a housing mounted on the pipe sleeve to divert the upward flow and a seal unit mounted on the drill stem and rotatably mounted in the housing.
137 Wellhead stuffing box support assembly US10038935 2002-01-04 US06637509B2 2003-10-28 Keith D. Farquharson; Daniel J. Riddell
A stuffing box support assembly is configured to be positioned between a production pumping tree and a stuffing box of a wellhead. In use, the support assembly functions like a joint between the wellhead production tree and the stuffing box. The support assembly is configured such that it could tilt or move laterally to maintain a coaxial relationship between the stuffing box and a polished rod extending therethrough. This alignment between the stuffing box and the polished rod reduces wear and tear of the stuffing box packing.
138 Apparatus US10275844 2002-11-08 US20030146219A1 2003-08-07 Austen Watson Ross
The present invention relates to apparatus this is particularly, but not exclusively, suited for use as a mud bucket in the oil and gas industry. The apparatus includes a seal that seals the mud bucket to a tubular (e.g. a stand of drill pipe). The seal is attached to the mud bucket via a quick release mechanism so that worn-out or damaged seals can be replaced quickly.
139 Stripper/packer US09742070 2000-12-20 US06484808B2 2002-11-26 Donald L. Jones; David J. McWhorter; Richard M. Ward
A stripper/packer includes first and second packing elements, which are interchangeable to alleviate inventory concerns. The upper actuating hydraulic piston is the same diameter as the lower piston, which allows the operator to utilize the same amount of pressure to maintain a seal during transition between packing elements. Both packing elements are separately actuated from the lower side allowing the wellbore pressure to assist the seal.
140 System for accessing oil wells with compliant guide and coiled tubing US10003859 2001-10-24 US20020074135A1 2002-06-20 Colin Stuart Headworth
The present invention provides a system including a spoolable compliant guide, injector and lubricator to obtain vertical access to any oil well and to insert coiled tubing therein to. The spoolable compliant guide provides a substantial distance between the injector and the annular well seal at the lubricator and functions as a crimp or bend resistor for the coiled tubing therein facilitating the imposition of compression forces thereon. This enables the injector to be conveniently positioned remote from the wellhead, not necessarily vertically above the wellhead, on the facility with the wellheads or on an entirely separate facility, vehicle or vessel. Wellheads on land, offshore or underwater can all be accessed. Pressurized well fluids are prevented from entering the spoolable compliant guide thus decreasing the risks associated with its damage, failure or emergency disconnection.
