Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to drill cuttings conveyance systems comprising a collection tank, a port, and a pump. The collection tank comprises a chamber operable to accommodate drill cuttings and a screw conveyor. The screw conveyor extends along a longitudinal axis of the collection tank from a first end of the chamber to a second end of the chamber. The port comprises a channel operable to direct drill cuttings from the chamber of the collection tank to the pump. The pump comprises an inlet operable to receive drill cuttings from the port, an outlet, and a pumping mechanism operable to direct drill cuttings through the outlet of the pump.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) comprises a module (12); a chassis (30) into which the module (12) is able to be inserted; and a first resilient member (38). The resilient member (38) interposes between the module (12) and a weight bearing surface (32) of the chassis (30), when the module (12) is inserted into the chassis (30), so as to bear at least a portion of the weight of the module (12). When the first resilient member (38) bears at least a portion of the weight of the module (12), the module (12) is at a desired position inside the chassis (30).

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a main body defining a channel configured to receive and hold a cable connector. Means for releasably securing the main body to a device are provided. The channel is aligned with a receptacle of the device when the main body is secured to the device. A first resilient member extends outwardly from an inner wall of the main body and into the channel. The first resilient member is deformably tensionable against the cable connector when received and held within the channel.
