A system for transporting corrosive or erosive fluids having a conduit or flow equipment with a flow bore, comprising; a flexible pipe, an adapter, an end connector, a clamp connector, insert(s), and a metal spacer. Insert(s) comprise an erosion resistant coating disposed around the internal structure that is a spring or helical structure. The insert(s) is/are disposed inside the flow bore and provide erosion and/or corrosion resistance.

A drone conveyance system for deploying drones into an oil or gas wellbore is described. The system includes a platform, a drone magazine, a platform receiver, a conveyance, and a wellhead receiver. A drone magazine contains a plurality of the drones and selectively releases/feeds the drones into the platform receiver. More than one drone magazine, each containing different drone types, may supply drones to the platform receiver such that different drones may be ordered for disposal into the wellbore. The platform receiver prepared the drones to be moved from the platform to the wellhead by the conveyance. The wellhead receiver accepts the drones from the conveyance and prepares each received drone for dropping into the wellbore via the wellhead.

A test system for a pressure control equipment (PCE) stack includes a pump for directing fluid into the PCE stack, a drive for operating the pump to control fluid flow into the PCE stack, and a controller communicatively coupled to the drive and a sensor that transmits sensor data indicative of pressure within the PCE stack. The controller instructs the drive to cause the pump to direct fluid into the PCE stack until the sensor data indicates that the pressure within the PCE stack has reached a threshold pressure, blocks fluid flow into and out of the PCE stack upon receiving sensor data indicating the pressure within the PCE stack has reached the threshold pressure, monitors the pressure within the PCE stack over a time interval, and determines a condition of the PCE stack based on a change in the pressure within the PCE stack during the time interval.

A system includes a first split riser, a second split riser, and a gasket. The first split riser includes a first half pipe having a first radial extension and a second radial extension. The first radial extension and the second radial extension have a mating surface. The second split riser includes a second half pipe having a third radial extension and a fourth radial extension. The third radial extension and the fourth radial extension have a corresponding mating surface. The gasket is installed on the mating surface of the first radial extension and the second radial extension. The gasket mates with the corresponding mating surface to form a connection between the first split riser and the second split riser.

An apparatus and method for controlling and/or reducing undesirable and dangerous buildup of formation gases and fluids in the annular space between casing strings in an oil & gas well. The process comprises injecting a brine of cesium formate into a cement annulus between concentric well casings; and monitoring the pressure of the brine within the annulus. Based on the pressure, the flow rate of the brine being injected is controlled to displace or control formation gases and fluids within the annulus.

A system and methods according to which a controller communicates control signals to a first frac leg, which includes a wellhead operably associated with a first wellbore, a valve operably coupled to the wellhead, opposite the first wellbore, a frac line operably coupled to the wellhead, and a zipper module operably coupled to the frac line, opposite the wellhead. The first frac leg includes a first sub-controller that receives control signals from the controller. A grease system lubricates the first frac leg and the zipper module. The grease system includes a second sub-controller that receives control signals from the controller. A second frac leg is operably associated with a second wellbore. The second frac leg includes a third sub-controller that receives control signals from the controller. The first, second, and/or third sub-controllers may receive control signals from the controller via a communication bus.
