Abstract: A bearing (12) for a downhole apparatus (10) comprises a body (42) and an upset portion (44). The upset portion (44) extends radially outwards from the body (42), the body (42) and the upset portion (44) defining a channel (46) for receiving fluid flow for lubricating the bearing (12).

Abstract: A method of manufacture and installation of a resizable, plastically deformable or crimpable elastomeric bearing collar or stabilizer sleeve which can be installed over upset sections of rotary drilling and wellbore completion tubulars such as but not limited to subs, drill collars, drill pipe, wellbore casing, production liners and other drilling and production related tubulars that are run down-hole. In order to enable the reduction of rotational torque generated when directionally drilling and completing extended reach development (ERD) wells.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) includes a traction member in the form of a roller (24) configured for mounting on a body (12) so as to permit rotation of the roller (24) relative to the body (12). The roller (24) is mountable on the body (12) so as to define a skew angle relative to a longitudinal axis (26) of the body (12). In use, the roller (24) engages a wall of a borehole or bore-lining tubular and the roller (24) urges the apparatus (10) along the wall of the borehole or bore-lining tubular on rotation of the as the roller (24) rotates on the body (12).
