Abstract: An automated tubular running tool for use in drilling systems and the like allows for the picking up, positioning, stabbing and threadedly connecting a tubular segment to a tubular string being held by the rig by a spider. The tool comprises a pivoting arm, which can pickup, position, stab and threadedly connect the tubular segment. The tool further features an integral elevator, which then lowers the piping string tubing string into the well bore. This tubular running tool allows for the connection of tubular segments to a tubular string without the need of personnel.

Abstract: A pipe thread cleaner has cleaning heads with rotated thread brushes driven by motors on the heads. Separate heads for box and pin ends have splash shrouds with gaskets to bear on pipe surfaces. Cleaning fluids under pressure are supplied, selectively, to the heads. The heads have a scavenger system plumbed to a vacuum collector tank. The heads have pipe bore plugs on brush spindle extensions that seal the bore and squeegee the inner pipe surfaces when the heads are removed from the pipe. Optionally, compressed air replaces cleaning fluid to jets in the heads to finally blow dry the cleaned threads. Further options include jets that spin with the brushes and a centrifuge to recover reusable cleaning fluids from the effluent fluids from the cleaning heads.
