A method for replacing a first control pod of a BOP stack includes (a) lowering a control pod exchange device subsea. In addition, the method includes (b) coupling the control pod exchange device to the BOP stack. Further, the method includes (c) transferring the first control pod from the BOP stack to the control pod exchange device after (b). Still further, the method includes (d) lifting the control pod exchange device to the surface after (c).

A pulse generator comprises a stator coupled to a housing and a rotor that is rotatably disposed within the housing. An annulus is formed between the rotor and the stator. An inner bore is formed through the rotor. One or more outer flow ports provide fluid communication between the annulus and the inner bore. A retrievable valve assembly is rotationally coupled to the rotor and at least partially disposed within the inner bore. The retrievable valve assembly includes a rotary valve member having one or more primary flow ports. A fluid flow path is periodically formed by the one or more outer flow ports, the annulus, and the one or more primary flow ports as the rotor rotates.

An instrumented shell for sensing drilling parameters of a drilling assembly positionable at a wellsite is provided. The drilling assembly includes a top drive assembly and a downhole tool. The instrumented shell includes a shell body, instruments and an interconnector. The shell body is positionable about the top drive assembly, and has pockets extending therein and a cover positionable about the shell body. The instruments include sensors, and are removably disposable in the pocket and sealable therein with the at least one cover. The interconnector includes a top drive connector removably connectable to the top drive assembly and a shell connector removably connectable to the shell body with a cable therebetween to pass signals therebetween whereby drilling parameters of the downhole tool may be directly collected.

A planetary gear box or drive (48) and arrangement of the gear box with a drive motor permits electrical, optical or other types of cabling or wiring to be passed through the planetary gear box along its axis of rotation. The planetary gear box drives or rotates, for example, a reel of coiled tubing (30). Electrical, hydraulic, optical and other types of line for lowering into a well bore through the coiled tubing is passed through a passageway through the center of the planetary gear box, into one end of a hub of the reel, and then into the coiled tubing, which is injected into the wellbore. The other end of the hub of the reel is able to be connected to a swivel joint that can be connected to a pump for pumping fluid into the coiled tubing.

A trackable downhole tool includes a tool body having a tag mortise formed therein. The tag mortise has a female dovetail profile. An encapsulated electronic tag is retained in the mortise. The encapsulated electronic tag includes an electronic tag embedded in an encapsulation body. The electronic tag contains or is programmable to contain a unique asset identification code associated with the downhole tool. The encapsulation body has a male dovetail profile that cooperates with the female dovetail to form a dovetail joint that retains the encapsulated electronic tag in the tag mortise.

A system (100) for measuring drilling fluid properties includes a capillary rheometer (134) that is adapted to measure viscosity parameters of drilling fluid. The capillary rheometer (134) includes a feed chamber (135), the feed chamber (135) having a cavity (135a, 135b), at least a first drain port (144) for draining fluid out of the cavity (135a, 135b), a double wall (136) defining an annulus (140) that opens to the cavity (135a, 135b), and a feed port (142) in an outer portion (136a) of the double wall (136) that is in fluid communication with the annulus (140). The capillary rheometer (134) also includes at least a first capillary tube (146) coupled to at least the first drain port (144). Additionally, the disclosed system (100) further includes a pump (102) that is adapted to pump fluid to the feed port (142).

A blowout preventer unit, system and method for monitoring a blowout preventer at a wellsite is provided. The blowout preventer is activatable form a seal to prevent leakage of the fluid produced from subsurface formations. The blowout preventer unit includes wellsite databases, at least one control unit and blowout preventer outputs. The wellsite databases are operatively connectable to the wellsite to receive wellsite data therefrom, and have communication links therebetween. The control unit is operatively connectable to the wellsite databases to selectively divert the wellsite data therebetween via the communication links. The at least one control unit includes a processor to determine blowout preventer parameters from the diverted wellsite data. The blowout preventer outputs are operatively coupled to the wellsite databases, and are accessible by users. The blowout preventer outputs include blowout preventer dashboards to selectively display the blowout preventer parameters whereby blowout preventer conditions are viewable by the users.

The present disclosure relates to a monitor for a blowout preventer of a wellbore. The blowout preventer includes a housing, rams, and an actuator comprising a cylinder with a piston. The piston is operatively connectable with the ram and movable therewith. The monitor includes a monitor base operatively connectable to the cylinder (the monitor base having an interior side inside the cylinder and an exterior side outside the cylinder), an interior plate positionable inside the cylinder about the interior side of the base (the interior plate operatively connectable to the piston and movable therewith), an exterior plate positionable outside the cylinder about the exterior surface of the monitor base (the exterior plate coupled by magnets to the interior plate and rotatable therewith), and a trigger sensor operatively connectable about the monitor base and the exterior plate to detect rotation thereof whereby a position of the ram may be determined.

A driveshaft (100) for a downhole motor (30) has a longitudinal axis and includes a first end (120a). In addition, the driveshaft includes a second end (120b) opposite the first end. The first end has a radially outer surface including a first connection lug (210). The outer surface also includes a second connection lug (220) uniformly circumferentially-spaced from the first connection lug. The first connection lug and the second connection lug each include a cylindrical surface (216, 222) concentrically disposed about a first pivot axis (127, 129) oriented orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (125)
