Self-retaining oil nozzle
An oil nozzle assembly is disclosed. In various embodiments, the assembly includes a nozzle body oriented along an axial center line, comprising a main portion, and a tip portion connected to the main portion; a nozzle insert, comprising a sleeve, an end wall connected to the sleeve, an orifice disposed in the end wall, the orifice fluidly coupled to the tip portion, and a first finger extending axially from the end wall; and a retaining ring configured to engage the first finger to the nozzle body.
Valve grease blocks for high pressure valves and high pressure valves using the same
A high-pressure grease block including a grease block body having a grease block cavity defined therein and adapted to cooperate with a valve body. A first port is adapted for sealing connection to a port on the valve body such that a valve grease cavity defined within the valve body communicates with the grease block cavity. A second port communicates with the grease block cavity and is adapted for receiving a greasing assembly and a third port communicates with the grease block cavity and is adapted for receiving a bleeding assembly.

Downhole motor bearing pack
A rotatable bearing assembly transfers a weight of a drill string to a mud motor output shaft extending therethrough. The bearing assembly includes an outer bearing housing, an upper radial bearing assembly providing an upper radial bearing between the outer bearing housing and the output shaft, a balance piston that fluidly seals an upper end of the outer bearing housing and balances a pressure within the outer bearing housing, a lower radial bearing/seal assembly configured to both fluidly seal a lower end of the outer bearing housing and provide a lower radial bearing between the outer bearing housing and the output shaft, and a thrust bearing assembly received within the sealed interior of the outer bearing housing such that the bearing assembly initially operates in a sealed, lubricated mode and then a mud lube mode in the event of one or more seal failures. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
MACHINE AND OIL PRODUCT
A machine according to at least one embodiment of the present invention comprises a rubber material to be supplied with an oil product containing a softener, wherein an absolute difference between a solubility parameter of the softener and a solubility parameter of the rubber material is 1.7 or less. The machine having a communication portion connecting the rubber material and an outside of the machine, and is configured to supply the oil product from a first end of the communication portion to a second end of the communication portion.
Lubricant Injector
A lubricant, injector includes an injector body having an inlet port fluidly coupleable with a lubricant supply, an outlet port fluidly coupleable with a lubrication point, a piston chamber and a valve chamber. A piston is disposed within the piston chamber and defines a measuring section and an actuating section, the piston being linearly displaceable along an axis through the piston chamber so as to inversely vary the volume of the chamber measuring section and the volume of the chamber actuating section. A valve member disposed within the valve chamber is displaceable along an axis through the valve chamber between a first position, at which the inlet port is fluidly coupled with the piston chamber actuating and measuring sections, and a second position at which the inlet port is fluidly coupled with the piston chamber actuating section and the outlet port is fluidly coupled with the piston chamber measuring section.
Remote well servicing systems and methods
Embodiments of the present disclosure include a remote well servicing system including a control unit and a remote servicing manifold. The control unit further includes a service fluid source and a control system. The remote servicing manifold further includes a fluid input line coupled to the service fluid source, a fluid output line couplable to a well component, and a valve coupled to the fluid input line and the fluid output line, wherein the valve, when actuated, places the fluid input line in fluid communication with the fluid output line and permits delivery of a service fluid from the service fluid source to the well component. The remote servicing manifold also includes a control line coupling the valve and the control system wherein the control system controls actuation of the valve via the control line.
