Abstract: The modular managed pressured drilling system provides multiple skids with individual chokes and PRVs on the skids. These skids secure to one another to construct a modular MPD system that provides the proper equipment for the drilling operation. An inlet flow junction and an outlet flow junction are secured to each skid. The flow junctions provide multiple ports to provide different pathways for the drilling fluid through the flow junctions. The flow junctions may direct the fluid through a first choke, a second choke, a pressure relief valve, or a bypass.

Abstract: This system maintains bottom hole pressure and constant well bore pressure profile for a period of time in event of loss of power to rig pumps, rig pump failure or other loss of pressure to the primary flowline. The back pressure system diverts mud into the primary flowline to maintain pressure. The system provides time to get the diesel powered cement unit on line to maintain pressure or get the power reinstated to the rig pumps. The mud discharged into the primary flowline can be recovered back into the housing via the housing inlet line and the housing can be recharged via the N2 high pressure bottle rack. The back pressure system installs upstream of the MPD chokes with interfaces to the primary flow line to divert the drilling mud to the primary flowline.

Abstract: A system and method of maintaining back pressure located downstream of the Coriolis meter maintains the pressure downstream of the Coriolis meter in relation to the surface back pressure (SBP). At least one flow control device is located downstream of the Coriolis meter. The flow control device of the present invention (the BPV) automatically maintains the downstream pressure to less than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the surface back pressure. A pressure regulator sets the back pressure to allow for a standalone device. Additional valves allow adjustment of the back pressure and allow for pressure relief and full flow bypass.

Abstract: A pressure relieve valve (PRV) secures to the rotating control device (RCD) in a drilling operation. The PRV located at rig flowline secures to a PRV line, such as PRV piping that bypasses the MPD choke, MPD system, UBD systems, and other flow control device(s). The outlet of the RCD is routed via the pressure relief valve to discharge to a safe contained area. Such discharge relieves overpressure of the wellbore to a contained environment via the rig flowline.

Abstract: A managed Pressure Drilling manifold provides accurate back pressure control of a well head when drilling. The MPD system provides two paths for the drilling fluid to flow from the RCD to the flowline. The drilling fluid flows along an MPD path sending the drilling fluids through at least one sensor, preferably three sensors, a flow control device, and a flowmeter. The MPD system also provides a bypass path that isolates the flow control device and flowmeter while direct the drilling fluid from the RCD to the bypass to avoid the flow control device and flowmeter. The MPD system provides three valves that direct the drilling fluid in the bypass path or the MPD path.

Abstract: The modular managed pressured drilling system provides multiple skids with individual chokes and PRVs on the skids. These skids secure to one another to construct a modular MPD system that provides the proper equipment for the drilling operation. An inlet flow block and an outlet flow block are secured to each skid. The flow blocks provide multiple apertures to provide different pathways for the drilling fluid through the flow blocks. The flow blocks may direct the fluid through a first choke, a second choke, a pressure relief valve, or a bypass.

Abstract: In order to simplify the implantation of an orthopedic fixation system for securing a first bone fragment to a second bone fragment with a support screw which can be screwed into the first bone fragment by means of a bone thread, with a support sleeve surrounding the support screw and guiding this so as to be freely displaceable in longitudinal direction and with a bone plate which has at least one threaded bore, can be secured to the second bone fragment and into the threaded bore of which the support sleeve can be screwed by means of an external thread, it is suggested that the bone thread, on the one hand, and the threaded bore and the external thread, on the other hand, have the same pitch of the thread turns and that the bone thread have one thread turn and the threaded bore as well as the external thread have at least two thread turns located next to one another with a correspondingly smaller width of each thread turn.
