A system, apparatus, and method for leveling a borehole or blasthole drilling machine, or portion thereof, provided over a drilling site can implement a ground contact detect phase or operation, a first coarse leveling phase or operation, a lowering phase or operation, and a fine leveling phase or operation. The phases or operations can be based on or responsive to signals from sensors of the drilling machine. The phases or operations can involve changing length of one or more of the jacks of the drilling machine when the drilling machine is positioned over the drilling site.

A high-power turbine fracturing system may include a lubrication system, which may include a first lubrication unit configured to lubricate a plunger pump. The first lubrication unit may further include a high-pressure lubrication unit. The high-pressure lubrication unit may include a high-pressure motor, a high-pressure pump, and a high-pressure oil line. The high-pressure motor may be configured to drive the high-pressure pump, which may be configured to pump high-pressure lubricating oil into the high-pressure oil line. The high-pressure oil line may be configured to lubricate at least one of connecting rod bearing bushes or crosshead bearing bushes in the plunger pump.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to underground horizontal directional drills and, more particularly, to aspects of drill operation, ground anchoring, and operator assistance features. In some embodiments, a drill is provided that includes an anchor assembly and/or a rear stabilizer that may pivot relative to a carriage frame of the drill. In other embodiments, a roller bearing system that permits the carriage to translate along the carriage frame is provided. In still other embodiments, rests to support the drill rod during makeup and breakout are described.

A drilling rig may include a detachable, modular cellar arranged beneath a drill floor of the drilling rig. The cellar may be or include a cellar trailer and it may also be configured to house drilling equipment, such as well head equipment and/or one or more blowout preventers. The cellar trailer may provide work areas, such that the well head equipment may be prepared, tested, or generally operated within the cellar trailer. The cellar trailer may additionally be configured to provide stiffening support to the drill floor in order to mitigate deflection of the drill floor during drilling operations. The stiffening support may be provided by a shear wall extending from the cellar trailer. The cellar trailer may be towable. The cellar trailer may additionally be skiddable and/or walkable.

A method includes supplying a plurality of generators, each generator in electrical communication with a switchgear with each switchgear in data communication with a generator data management system. The method also includes supplying a plurality of electrically driven fracturing pumps with each electrically driven fracturing pump in data communication with pump data management system. Further, the method includes supplying a load shedding system, the load shedding system in data communication with the generator data management system and a pump control system, the pump control system in data communication with the pump data management system. The method includes determining which pumps should have speed reduced by the load shedding system and reducing the speed of the pumps determined by the load shedding system using the pump control system.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicular work machine (10) that is adapted for handling at least two different interchangeable tools (4). The machine (10) also comprises a user control device (11) and a water supply arrangement (31) that is adapted to distribute water for retaining dust that is created when a tool (4) is used, The water supply arrangement (31) comprises a controllable valve (24) that is arranged to control the flow of the water that is distributed via at least one nozzle (29). The user control device (11) is arranged for selection of a desired tool, where at least one selectable tool is associated with a certain predefined water setting. Each water setting relates to a certain relative flow of distributed water during a certain time that is related to the time said tool (4) is chosen and performing a certain work procedure, and/or to the time said tool (4) is chosen and ready to perform a certain work procedure.

An apparatus and method for planning a drilling sequence. The solution relates also to a rock drilling rig and to a computer program product. The apparatus searches several possible drilling scenarios for drilling a given drilling pattern. Different actions required by the scenarios have given costs and the executed algorithm calculates total costs of found scenarios. Scenarios with the lowest costs are selected.

An anchoring device for a horizontal directional rig is provided. The anchoring device uses vibrations from a motor to drive an anchor into the ground in a more efficient manner than traditional stake down systems. The vibrating motor is mounted to a stake down carriage. The oscillations from the motor allow the steel anchor to penetrate the ground with a small axial load and therein allows greater surface and holding force.
