Abstract: An example pipe cutting tool includes a plurality of actuators and a plurality of cutters. Each of the plurality of cutters is connected to at least one separate actuator of the plurality of actuators. The at least one separate actuator is configured to move the cutter between a pre-deployed and deployed position. The deployed position is beyond the pre-deployed position. The plurality of cutters may include a first and second cutter, with the at least one separate actuator connected to the second cutter moving based, at least in part, on one or more cutting conditions. An example method of cutting a pipe includes extending a first cutter to contact the pipe, cutting at least a portion of the pipe using the first cutter, detecting a cutting condition, extending a second cutter based, at least in part, on the cutting condition, and resuming the cutting using the second cutter.

Abstract: A rotating control device (RCD) includes a housing configured to make a connection above a wellbore and an assembly that mates to the housing. The assembly also includes a sealing element to make a seal to a drill string and to rotate with the drill string. One or more sensors are configured to monitor conditions during operation of the RCD. The one or more sensors include one or more erosion sensors to detect erosion of the sealing element. The one or more erosion sensors are also configured to identify amounts of erosion of the sealing element.

Abstract: An example rotating control device (RCD) includes a housing configured to make a stationary connection above a wellbore and an assembly that mates to the housing. The assembly includes a borehole to contain part of a drill string. The assembly also includes a sealing element to make a seal to the drill string and to rotate with the drill string. One or more sensors are configured to monitor conditions during operation of the RCD. The one or more sensors include one or more erosion sensors to detect erosion of the sealing element. The one or more erosion sensors are also configured to identify amounts of erosion of the sealing element.
