    摘要: Wrench systems, methods, and related apparatus are used for determining angular misalignment in wrenches that make up and/or break out tubular connections. The systems, methods, and related apparatus are used to continuously monitor for angular misalignment and automatically correct for angular misalignment. A wrench system includes a first clamp assembly, a second clamp assembly, and a positioning subsystem. The positioning subsystem includes one or more sensor tracks mounted to the first clamp assembly, and one or more position sensors mounted to the second clamp assembly. The one or more position sensors are configured to interface with the one or more sensor tracks to measure an angular position of the second clamp assembly relative to the first clamp assembly.

    摘要: Modular end apparatus, such as modular end fitting apparatus, and methods for flexible hoses, and associated components thereof. In one implementation, a flexible hose apparatus includes a flexible hose and a hose body coupled to the flexible hose, the hose body including a threaded outer surface. The flexible hose apparatus includes a cap including an inner shoulder protruding inwardly relative to a first inner surface of the cap. The flexible hose apparatus also includes a removable end fitting disposed in engagement with the cap. The removable end fitting includes an end body that is monolithic. The end body includes a first end, a second end opposite of the first end, and a first outer shoulder adjacent the first end and disposed between the hose body and the inner shoulder of the cap.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to seal assemblies, and associated components thereof, and methods of using the same for use in pressure containing bodies, such as choke valves. In one example, a sensor is used with the seal assemblies. In one implementation, a pressure containing body apparatus includes a pressure containing body including a central opening and a central axis extending through the central opening. The pressure containing body apparatus includes a sleeve disposed in the central opening of the pressure containing body. The pressure containing body apparatus includes an angled seal disposed about the sleeve at an angle relative to the central axis of the pressure containing body. The angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

    摘要: A pipe puller removably couples to a pipe handler skate using two manually removable pins. The pipe puller includes at least one slide and linear bearing combination, a skate plate affixed adjacent a first end of the slide and interposed between a front skate face and a pipe in the skidway, a pipe grasp pivotal between a first position disengaged from the pipe and a second position engaged with the pipe, linkage coupling the skate plate to pipe grasp and converting reciprocal movement of the skate plate into rotary movement of the pipe grasp, and a puller stop bracket secured to the pipe handler. A pair of force threshold activated pipe grasp assists retain the pipe grasp in either pipe-engaged or pipe-disengaged position until a force threshold is reached greater than and separate from the static and dynamic coefficients of friction of the various pintles and linear bearings.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to pumping systems, apparatus, end related methods for longer strong lengths and reduced footprints. In one aspect, pumping systems facilitate increased horsepower generated at lower cycle rates and a lesser number of pumps. In one implementation, a pump system comprises a hydraulic power end coupled to and located in between a first fluid end and a second fluid end. The hydraulic power end comprises a hydraulic cylinder assembly having a piston, a first rod coupled to the piston and to the first fluid end, and a second rod coupled to the piston and to the second fluid end located on the opposite side.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to elevator locking system apparatus and methods, and associated components thereof. In one implementation, a slip-type elevator assembly includes an elevator body including one or more slips configured to grip a tubular, and a first door pivotably coupled to the elevator body. The slip-type elevator assembly includes a second door pivotably coupled to the elevator body, the first door and the second door movable between an open position and a closed position. The slip-type elevator assembly also includes a locking system including a bolt movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the unlocked position the bolt is disposed in a first cavity formed in the first door. In the locked position a first portion of the bolt is disposed in the first cavity and a second portion of the bolt is disposed outside of the first cavity.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to apparatus and methods for regulating flow from a geological formation, and associated components thereof. In one implementation, an apparatus for regulating a multi-phase fluid stream flowing from a subterranean geological formation includes a conduit. The conduit includes an outer wall, a primary flow path for a fluid stream, and a first restriction having a throat portion. A first return path includes a return channel, and the return channel is fluidly connected to the primary flow path through a return inlet and a return outlet. The apparatus includes a gas siphon port formed in the outer wall of the conduit, and a gas siphon path extending from the conduit. The gas siphon path is fluidly connected to the gas siphon port.
