    摘要: A pack system for a downhole assembly is provided. One end of the pack system is connected to a drill bit for drilling a wellbore, the other end of the pack system interfaces with a motor to receive torque. The pack system described herein has a simple design that reduces the number of parts, eliminates some seals and shims, and relies on a portion of drilling mud for lubrication. As a result, wear on parts of the system is greatly reduced and the longevity of the system is greatly increased. The hardness of various components of the system in key areas is increased, for example, with carbide, to further reduce wear and increase longevity. In addition, the simpler, more balanced arrangement of components allows for reduced vibration and high rotational speeds, which improves the performance of the overall downhole assembly.

    摘要: A swinging device and related methods; the swinging device includes a first housing mountable to a first pipe on a first side of a pipe flange joint, a second housing mountable to a second pipe on a second side of a pipe flange joint, a shaft rotatably mounted to and extending between the first and second housings, and a spectacle blind mounted to the shaft such that rotating the shaft correspondingly rotates the spectacle blind between an open position, where the spectacle blind allows flow through the pipe flange joint, and a closed positon, where the spectacle blind prevents flow through the pipe flange joint.

    摘要: A rotor bearing system configured to operatively couple a progressing cavity machine to an external device can comprise a housing including an inner surface defining a first bore extending through the housing along a central axis, a first bearing arranged on the inner surface, and a shaft member including an outer surface extending between a proximal portion and a distal portion of the shaft member and a second bearing arranged on the outer surface, the second bearing the second bearing configured to contact the first bearing to limit eccentric motion of the driveshaft of the external device and the rotor head of the progressing cavity machine relative to a stator of the progressing cavity machine during rotation of the rotor head, the shaft member, and the driveshaft.

    摘要: Systems and methods for cold-spraying coatings on rotors in motor assemblies for improving reliability of motor assembly use downhole in wellbores is provided. For example, a motor assembly can include a stator positioned downhole in a wellbore and rotor coupled to the wellbore. The rotor can include a base material and a first coating deposited onto the base material via cold spraying for reducing damage to the rotor. The first coating may include sprayed particles that have a melting point temperature that is higher than a temperature of a gas used in the cold spraying. In some examples, the rotor may include a second coating deposited onto the first coating via cold spraying, high velocity oxygen fuel coating, or high velocity air fuel. The first coating may have a first hardness that is less than a second hardness of the second coating.
