A clam assembly for connecting adjacent tubulars positionable in a wellbore of a wellsite for passing fluid therethrough is provided. The clam assembly and at least one drive mechanism. The clam assembly includes a plurality of segments selectively movable between an open position to receive the adjacent tubulars and a closed position positionable around the adjacent tubulars. The segments are disposable about a periphery of the adjacent tubulars. The drive mechanism is carried by the segments, and include a driver to drive a connector through the adjacent tubulars. The driver is movable between a retracted and an extended position to drive the connector whereby a connection is formed between the adjacent tubulars.
摘要:
An antenna for use in an asset-identification system. The antenna includes a plurality of electrically conductive coils electrically connected in parallel. The coils are physically aligned along a common axis. The coils are offset along the common axis by a distance selected to reduce the mutual inductance between the electrically conductive coils, while allowing the signals from the electrically conductive coils to add together.

An embodiment of a method for drilling a borehole into an earthen formation, the method including contacting a first end housing at a first axial position with a first drive key, wherein the first end housing has a central axis, a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a first receptacle extending axially from the first end, and wherein the first drive key is disposed within the first receptacle in the first end housing and radially disposed between the first end housing and a driveshaft. In addition, the method includes transferring torque between the first end housing and the driveshaft via the first ball during. Further, the method includes, contacting the first end housing at a second axial position with the first drive key or a second drive key after (b), wherein the second axial position is axially spaced from the first axial position.
摘要:
A hardmetal composite used as wear-resistant surfaces and inlays in earth-engaging equipment includes more than one hardphase. At least one hardphase has a high average particle size, for example, from 100 μm to 2000 μm. The hardphases vary in terms of particle size, hardness, and binder content, and at least one hardphase includes a particulate constituent capable of plastic deformation that comprises at least 1% residual porosity.
摘要:
A separator system and method are provided in which the separator has two outlets for different components of mixed fluid. An energy harvester is provided on one of the outlets, wherein harvested energy is transferred to a pump located on an inlet of the separator. As a result, the differential pressure across the separator is increased.
摘要:
A cutting element includes a multilayer polycrystalline diamond element bonded to a substrate of a less hard material. The polycrystalline diamond element defines a matrix of interstitial volumes. The interstitial volumes of a first region of the diamond layer are adjacent a working surface thereof being substantially free of a catalyzing material. The interstitial volumes of a second region of the diamond layer are remote from the working surface containing the catalyzing material.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a bi-directionally raisable drilling rig mast system that includes a drilling rig mast having a bi-directional mast erection connection, a first erection connection positioned proximate a first side of a rig substructure, and a second erection connection positioned proximate a second side of the rig substructure, the second side being at an opposite side of the rig substructure from the first side. The system further includes at least one mast erection apparatus having an upper end that is adapted to be pivotably attached to the bi-directional mast erection connection and a lower end that is adapted to be pivotably attached to the first erection connection for erecting the drilling rig mast from the first side of the substructure, the lower end being further adapted to be pivotably attached to the second erection connection for erecting the drilling rig mast from the second side of the substructure.
摘要:
A downhole circulation sub or valve includes a tubular housing with an outer port and a valve piston slidably disposed in the housing. A primary fluid flow path extends through an inner flow bore of the housing and valve piston. In a first position, the valve piston isolates the outer port to prevent fluid communication between the inner flow bore and a well bore annulus. In a second position, the valve piston is moved to obstruct the inner flow bore and expose the outer port to the inner flow bore and allow fluid communication between the inner flow bore and the well bore annulus. An indexing mechanism is coupled between the housing and the valve piston to guide the valve piston between the first and second positions. The indexing mechanism may include a rotatable component.
