Abstract: A hanger running tool includes a mandrel. The hanger running tool also includes a mandrel protrusion, the mandrel protrusion extending radially outward from the mandrel. The hanger running tool includes a hold down nut coupled to the mandrel and arranged axially uphole of the mandrel protrusion. The hanger running tool includes a thrust collar coupled to the mandrel and arranged axially downhole of the mandrel protrusion. The hanger running tool includes a void cavity defined, at least in part, by the hold down nut, the thrust collar, and the mandrel, wherein the mandrel protrusion is positioned within the void cavity. The hanger running tool also includes a bearing system positioned within the void cavity.

Abstract: A system includes a pair of wellbore tubulars coupled together via a casing collar. A hold down collar is arranged circumferentially about the casing collar. An actuating piston of the system includes an actuating body, the actuating piston being axially movable along the wellbore axis between an activated position and a deactivated position. Slip elements are arranged downstream of the actuating piston, the slip elements receiving the actuating body in a space formed between the slip elements, wherein the actuating body drives the respective slip elements in opposite radial directions when in the activated position to secure the wellbore tubulars within the wellbore.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for suspending a hanger within a wellbore component including an actuation ring circumferentially positioned about the hanger. The system also includes an arm removably coupled to the actuation ring, the arm extending longitudinally from the actuation ring and including a head at an end opposite the actuation ring. The system further includes a landing profile formed on the head on an outer diameter of the head, the landing profile including a plurality of landing features forming a plurality of landing shoulders. The system includes a tag shoulder formed on the actuation ring, the tag shoulder arranged to contact a protrusion within the wellbore component to drive upward axial movement of the actuation ring along an axis, the upward axial movement being transferred to the arm to move the arm toward an activated position.

Abstract: A conductor pipe connector assembly for coupling a pressure containing component to a conductor pipe of a subterranean well includes an annular slip bowl circumscribing the conductor pipe. An annular slip segment is located between the slip bowl and the conductor pipe. A slip actuation ring is located between the slip bowl and the slip segment, the slip actuation ring having a beveled surface in sliding contact with one of the slip bowl and the slip segment. An elongate annular piston member circumscribes the conductor pipe and is coupled to the slip action ring, the piston member is movable by a pressure medium, such as hydraulic fluid or pressurized gas, to an engaged position to urge the slip segment radially inward against the conductor pipe.

Abstract: An assembly for clamping flanged tubular components, the assembly including a segmented clamp having a recess configured to accept the flanges of the tubular components, and a hole oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the tubular components. The assembly also includes a housing surrounding an outer portion of the segmented clamp and configured for attachment to at least one of the tubular components, and a drive screw that passes through the housing and is threadedly engaged with the hole of the segmented clamp. As the drive screw rotates, it drives the segmented clamp perpendicularly relative to the tubular components between a locked position, in which the circumferential recess engages the flanges of the tubular components, and an unlocked position, in which the circumferential recess is positioned laterally out of engagement with the flanges of the tubular components.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a split locking ring for wellhead components. In one illustrative embodiment, the device comprises a first internally threaded wellhead component, a second wellhead component, at least a portion of which is positioned within an opening in the first wellhead component, and a rotatable split lock ring comprised of at least two externally threaded sections, wherein at least a portion of the sections of the split lock ring are positioned between the first and second wellhead components and rotated to threadingly couple the sections of the split lock ring to the first wellhead component and thereby secure the second wellhead component to the first wellhead component.

Abstract: A base plate assembly for supporting a number of tubular strings within a tubular housing comprises two base plate portions which when secured together are adapted to be supported on an upper end of the tubular housing. Each base plate portion comprises a top plate which includes an end face and a number of semicircular openings that extend from the end face. Thus, when the base plate portions are secured together, the semicircular openings align to form a number of circular bores which are each adapted to receive a corresponding tubular string. Also, the base plate portions may be disconnected and removed from the tubular housing after the tubular strings are secured in position.

Abstract: A method for drilling a plurality of well bores through a single conductor housing which comprises providing a base plate which includes at least first and second well slots that extend therethrough, supporting the base plate on the conductor housing, suspending a temporary casing string from the first well slot, drilling a first well bore through the second well slot, removing the temporary casing string from the first well slot, and then drilling a second well bore through the first well slot.
