In a blowout preventer central bore and a central bore axis with an oval ram cavity having a ram cavity axis having one or more horizontal interface portions between the ram cavity and an actuator body, a method of connecting the actuator body to the ram cavity comprising providing one or more locking bar receptacles passing through one or more of the planes of the one or more horizontal interface portions of the ram cavity, providing one or more locking bar receptacles passing through one or more of the planes of the one or more horizontal interface portions of the actuator body, and providing one or more locking bars in one or more of the one or more locking bar receptacles in both the ram cavity and the actuator body.

A liner hanger system includes a mandrel and an extension disposed radially outwardly of the mandrel at least in part. The extension is disposed to urge a seal/anchor to a set position. A running tool is disposed radially inwardly of the mandrel and a ring is resiliently engagable with the mandrel and the extension simultaneously upon being deflected radially outwardly by the running tool.

A circulating downhole tool utilising a variable fluid pressure regulated cycle valve device that can be attached to the borehole assembly BHA of a coiled tubing and used down an offshore or onshore wellbore is disclosed. The circulating downhole tool utilising a variable fluid pressure regulated cycle valve device can be remotely operated by an operator on the surface as many times as required in either the through-flow, intermediary or circulatory modes-of-operation, by simply varying the drilling fluid flow rate and pressure being supplied from the pump located on the surface and interconnected to the coiled tubing and the BHA that will include the circulating downhole tool utilising a variable fluid pressure regulated cycle valve device.

A gripper mechanism for a downhole tool is disclosed that includes an eccentric linkage mechanism. In operation, an axial force generated by a power section of the gripper expands the linkage mechanism, which applies a radial force to the interior surface of a wellbore or passage. A sliding portion allows the gripper to slide along a surface of the formation in response to the radial force applied to the interior surface of the wellbore or passage.

The invention discloses systems for improving performance and operational efficiency of wireline tractors. A cooling system improves power capabilities of electrical motors mounted in wheels, which are mounted on a linkage pivotably connected to an arm extended from a tractor tool body, in an in-line arm configuration. The linkage and arm mechanism significantly improve the tractor's ability to traverse wellbore obstructions. The hydraulic system of the tractor ensures adequate wellbore centralization.
