Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a system and method for tensioning a bolt. The bolt tensioning system may be used with variable length connection members, for example studs, in any one or more of the drilling, subsea, and process industries to couple a first member to a second member. The bolt tensioning system may remain coupled to the first member and the second member, while applying tension to all of the bolts at the same time, rather than having to torque or tension each bolt individually. The bolt system may accurately and uniformly tension all bolts in a single operation to provide reliable connections.

A mobile device is configured to obtain the unique identifier and access a remote server containing an equipment file corresponding to the piece of drilling equipment based on the unique identifier.

Abstract: A handling tool includes a body having a high-stress location, a pocket formed in the high stress location, and a sensor adhered to a surface of the pocket and oriented along an axis of the body. The sensor is configured to measure at least one of stress, strain, load, and fatigue applied to the high-stress location and is at least partially covered by a protective coating having a surface profile that matches a surface profile of the high-stress location. The sensor comprises a transmitter/receiver unit configured to communicate measurement data with a feedback unit via wired or wireless communication.

Abstract: A pin according to the present disclosure is configured to connect at least two component parts by engaging, in an engaging direction, in superposed apertures of the component parts. The pin comprises a body having a drilled portion with a borehole extending in the engaging direction, the borehole configured to be at least partially traversed by a securing element, and at least one fixation element for fixing the securing element at the bored portion.

Abstract: A thread form for a threaded connection comprising a plurality of threads, wherein at least a portion of each of the threads comprise a root having a root radius that extends from a point central to the root and having planar flanks extending from both sides thereof.

Abstract: A tubular handling system has a trough with two exterior channels and an interior channel disposed between the two exterior channels. The two exterior channels and the interior channel are disposed along a longitudinal length of the trough and are configured to support at least one tubular. The tubular handling system also has a set of exterior kickers configured to move the tubular from one of the exterior channels to the interior channel and from one of the exterior channels to a position out of the trough. The tubular handling system has an interior kicker configured to move the tubular from the interior channel to one of the exterior channels.

Abstract: A traverse actuating and gripping system configured to move a catwalk relative to a support structure. The system includes a body, an upper gripping pad coupled to the body and configured to contact a side of a support member of the support structure, a lower gripping pad coupled to the body and configured to contact an opposing side of the support member, and an actuator coupled to at least one of the gripping pads and configured to move the gripping pads between a gripping position that grips the support member and an open position that spaces one of the gripping pads away from the support member.

Abstract: A downhole apparatus comprising a body configured to be coupled to a production tubular and an upper opening and a lower opening. First and second flow paths are provided between the upper opening and the lower opening in the body, and a flow diverter is arranged to direct downward flow through the body towards the second flow path and away from the first flow path. A filter device in the second flow path filters or collects solid particles in the second flow path from passing out of the lower opening of the apparatus. The apparatus has particular application to artificial lift hydrocarbon production systems, and may be installed above a downhole pump in a production tubing to prevent solids from settling on the pump during pump shutdown. Embodiments for use with ESPs and PCPs are described.

Abstract: A kicker assembly for a tubular handling system has a moving member of a linear actuator that moves between a first position on a fixed member of the linear actuator and a second position on the fixed member. The moving member of the linear actuator is connected to a kicker shoe by one or more connecting members to move the kicker shoe from a retracted to an extended position to move a tubular out of the tubular handling system. The axis of the fixed member of the linear actuator runs substantially perpendicular to the motion of the kicker shoe.

Abstract: A device and method for inhibiting particle (e.g., sand) accumulation on down hole equipment, such as an ESP, particularly when the equipment is not in use. The device and methods permit the equipment to start and stop with fewer break downs and at greater efficiency. The device includes a central tubular section connecting the equipment to the production tubing string. The tubular section is surrounded by an annulus and a number of ports in the tubular section angled to allow fluid communication between the tubular section and the annulus during operation, but prevent particles from flowing from the annulus into the tubular section when not in use. A check valve between the tube and ESP assists in isolating the ESP from sand.
