Abstract: A rotating control device includes a housing with a sensor port extending to a central housing bore, a sensor in the port, and a rotating sleeve assembly (RSA) extending within the central bore. The RSA includes a sleeve configured to rotate relative to the housing and a second bore coaxially aligned with the central bore of the housing, A piston port in the sleeve extends to the second bore, and a piston disposed in the piston port is configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in response to a change in pressure of fluid within the second bore. The piston port and the piston are disposed at a location in the rotating sleeve that passes the sensor periodically when the rotating sleeve rotates; the sensor configured to detect the piston when it rotates past the sensor and is in its second position.

Abstract: A pressure control device for sealing about a tubular string comprises: a flange disposed about a central axis, an annular extension extending from the flange and an annular seal element coupled to the annular extension. The seal member includes a through-passage for receiving the tubular string and an annular recess in which the annular extension is disposed. The annular extension includes a radially-inward facing surface that includes a tapered region that is nonlinear in an axial cross-section for reducing mechanical stresses in the seal member.

Abstract: A hybrid-type earth boring drill bit is described having fixed cutting blades and rolling cones with cutting elements, wherein the rolling cones are associated with a spindle assembly that may be optionally divorced from the head pin assembly, and which includes bearing members that further include a plurality of polycrystalline diamond elements.

Abstract: A component of a drilling assembly comprises at least one blade having a gauge region comprising a bearing face for engaging a sidewall of a wellbore in a subterranean formation during rotation of the drilling assembly, and a rotationally leading edge rotationally preceding the bearing face and comprising an engagement profile comprising at least one of at least one chamfered surface and at least one radiused surface, the engagement profile different than another engagement profile of another rotationally leading edge of another region of the at least one blade. A drilling assembly, and a method for stabilizing a drilling assembly in a wellbore in a subterranean formation are also provided.
