    Abstract: A top drive for a drilling rig includes a top drive housing, a threaded element used in a drilling operation, the threaded element having a grooved surface, and a back-up wrench with a toothed surface which engages with the grooved surface of the threaded element. The back-up wrench is suspended from the top drive housing. The back-up wrench is movable in relation to the top drive housing so as to selectively engage the threaded element.

    Abstract: A positioning and compensation system for a tubular element to be connected to a drill string includes a gripping arm assembly with a gripping device which holds the tubular element in a position for connection to the drill string, and a load supporting and compensating arrangement which supports at least a portion of a load of the tubular element. The load supporting and compensating arrangement includes a cylinder unit having a piston, a winch, a sheave which is connected to the gripping arm assembly, and a wire. The wire is arranged to run around the sheave with a first end being connected to the piston and a second end being connected to the winch. The winch and the cylinder unit are each arranged in a respective elevated position compared to a position of the sheave. The cylinder unit maintains a minimum tension in the wire.

    Abstract: A method for detecting an influx in a wellbore with first and second pressure transmitters arranged in a fixed vertical distance in relation to each other. The method includes calculating an expected density of a return flow between the first and second pressure transmitters, continuously measuring an actual density of the return flow based on a measured pressure at the first and second pressure transmitters, comparing the calculated expected density of the return flow and the measured actual density of the return flow to determine the influx in the wellbore, and predicting a probability of hydrates forming in the well by measuring a temperature via a temperature transmitter arranged in a section of the well adjacent to the first and/or the second pressure transmitter, and using the temperature together with the measurements from the first and second pressure transmitters.

    Abstract: A method for predicting a formation of hydrates in a wellbore or in a riser annulus includes logging actual mud properties, continuously measuring and/or calculating actual sets of pressure and temperature data at given locations/intervals in the wellbore or in the riser annulus, determining a theoretical temperature profile for the formation of hydrates dependent on mud properties and pressure as a function of a true vertical depth in a well, storing the theoretical temperature profile for the formation of hydrates in a control system, comparing the measured and/or calculated actual sets of pressure and temperature data with the theoretical temperature profile for the formation of hydrates, and issuing a signal from a control system if the measured and/or calculated actual sets of pressure and temperature data falls below or is lower than a predefined safety margin for the theoretical temperature profile for the formation of hydrates.

    Abstract: A self-aligning apparatus for a lifting system includes a structure which includes a first element having a first projecting free end and a second projecting free end which each receive at least one sheave at a point of attachment to the first element, and at least two first points of rotation. The at least one sheave cooperates with at least one wire. The at least two first points of rotation are arranged above the at least one sheave's point of attachment to the first element so that the apparatus self-aligns during use in an uneven loading event.
