Device arranged for attaching a pipe stem on a tubular body
An attachment device for an element is made to be arranged on a downhole tubular body, in which an end portion of a sleeve, which is arranged to surround a portion of the tubular body, comprises an attachment portion. The attachment portion comprises at least one clamping element arranged for axial displacement by the abutment of an abutment surface against a conical abutment portion of a surrounding adapter sleeve.

Wear bushing deployment and retrieval tool for subsea wellhead
An apparatus deploys and retrieves a wear bushing in a wellhead during the same trip, such as when using a bottom hole assembly for drilling. Arms in the form of pistons, levers, dogs, etc. can be moved between retracted and extended conditions on the apparatus using actuations from remote communications. When extended, the arms engage inside the wear bushing or inside an adapter disposed in the bushing. When retracted, the arms lie within the exterior of the tool to avoid wear and damage when the drillstring is used for drilling or other operations. During deployment, the bushing supported on the extended arms is seated in the wellhead. The arms are then retracted through remote activation, and the bottom hole assembly is run further downhole. During retrieval, the retracted arms are extended through remote activation and engage in the bushing so the drillstring can lift the bushing from the wellhead.

LINER INSTALLATION WITH INFLATABLE PACKER
A system and methods of its use are described. The system includes a well tool configured to be positioned within a wellbore. The system includes a sleeve defining an inner volume. The sleeve is configured to secure at least a portion of the well tool within the inner volume while the well tool is positioned within the wellbore. The system includes a hollow member positioned within the inner volume and coupled to the well tool. The system includes a rod positioned within the inner volume and coupled to the sleeve. The rod passes through the hollow member to couple to the sleeve. The rod is configured to move the sleeve relative to the well tool in response to a pressure applied on the rod. The hollow member defines a seat configured to receive the rod to restrict movement of the sleeve relative to the well tool.
Securing mechanism for rotary assembly wear sleeves
A method and apparatus are provided for securing a protective sleeve or wear sleeve to a rotary component which is rotatable relative to a rotary seal, such that the wear sleeve is in relatively rotating sealing engagement with the rotary seal. The wear sleeve is secured to the shaft by wedging a lock ring between the wear sleeve and the shaft. Wedging action of the lock ring can be effected by wedging formations, such as tapered surfaces, configured for causing wedging of the lock ring in response to operator-induced axial movement of the lock ring relative to the shaft and/or the wear sleeve. Wedging of the lock ring can be effected by cooperating screw threads on the lock ring and the wear sleeve, so that an operator can tighten the sleeve on the shaft by application of torque thereto.

Wear bushing retrieving system and method
A system includes a wear bushing retrieval tool. The wear bushing retrieval tool an annular main body configured to be disposed about a tubular string, a plurality of locking dogs, wherein each locking dog of the plurality of locking dogs is pivotably coupled to the annular main body, a first axial securement feature coupled to the annular main body, and a second axial securement feature coupled to the main body, wherein the first and second axial securement features are configured to cooperatively axially capture a coupling of the tubular string when the annular main body is disposed about the tubular string.
