  • Patent number: 11459835
    Abstract: A trailer-mounted drilling rig incorporates a dual top drive apparatus and a plurality of lifting assemblies useable for decreasing connection time of pipe segments useable during well drilling or other well operations, and methods of connecting pipe segments useable during well drilling or other operations. The plurality of lifting assemblies operatively connected to the dual top drive apparatus and a first lifting assembly is capable of moving a first top drive vertically inline with a wellbore while a second lifting assembly is capable of independently moving a second top drive vertically out of alignment with the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20220127915
    Abstract: A coil structure unit comprises a base and a tower structure, the tower structure comprises a plurality of intermediate units. The length of each of the plurality of intermediate sections can be about 50 feet. The length allows to utilize a manipulator that allows equipment such as lubricators and blowout preventers to be integral to the loads which will eliminate much of the rig up time and complication as well as having much more flexibility in operations to take the items on and off hole.
