    Abstract: An integrated possum belly having a raised filter portion and collection troughs is disclosed. A fluid flow such as a drilling fluid can contain unwanted material such as gumbo which can clog pipes and other equipment. The fluid flow is deposited onto the raised filter portion that has sloped sides with openings in the sloped sides. The fluid passes through the openings and is collected, while the gumbo and other debris remains on the filter and is collected and discarded. Sensors and a controller can be used to automate aspects of the operation of the possum belly including the opening of the filter.

    Abstract: A rotating annular preventer having a body with at least one seal housed within the body, and the at least one seal being at least one rotatable seal. The at least one seal can seal the annulus around a tubular in the rotating annular preventer by actuating a first seal around the tubular by a piston and/or rotating a second seal sealingly engaged with the tubular, as the tubular is rotated, since the rotating annular preventer is configured to do both. An outlet, located axially below the piston in the side of the body, can divert fluid from an annulus surrounding the tubular.
