A method of testing an electrical submersible pump (ESP) component may include placing an ESP component in a transport assembly at a first location for transport to a second location. The ESP component may be tested or maintained while the ESP component remains in the transport assembly, before being deployed at a wellsite. The ESP components can be prepared in the transport assembly to be lifted (including placement of lifting clamps) to run in hole. In various embodiment, the transport assembly may comprise the ESP component and a transport basket configured for stacking multiple transport assemblies.

A magnetic drain plug includes a plug body that has a head section and a screw section protruding from the head section. The screw section is includes external threads for threading into a drain hole of a device containing lubricating fluid. The plug body has an axial bore for receiving a removable magnet through the head section. The axial bore has an axial depth such that a bottom of the axial bore extends into the screw section.

A drain plug includes a main body which has an entirely threaded region and a partially threaded region. An outer circumferential surface of the main body has an external thread, and at least one cutout. Thus, the entirely threaded region is formed on a base end side of the main body. The cutout includes a first part extending from the leading end of the main body in the axial direction of the main body, and a second part extending from the first part in a direction toward the base end of the main body. The second part has an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is connected to the entirely threaded region.

A pump, such as a vacuum pump, includes at least one housing and a motor and oil reservoir disposed within the housing. The pump housing can include a bottom exterior surface and one or more side and/or front exterior surfaces that extend generally up from the bottom exterior surface. An oil drain port can be positioned at or near the intersection of the bottom exterior surface and the side or front exterior surface. The housing can include an interior bottom surface that defines at least a portion of a drain passageway for the pump and can be fluidicly coupled to the oil reservoir. At least a portion of the interior bottom surface can be angled downward at an acute angle to the horizontal towards the oil drain port to improve the draining and replacement of oil in the pump.

A filter unit includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a filter medium. The top plate is disposed at a first end of the filter unit. The bottom plate is disposed at a second end of the filter unit. The bottom plate includes a threaded filter portion and a valve shaft. The threaded filter portion has external threads and the valve shaft extends from the threaded filter portion along an axis of elongation of the filter unit. The filter medium is disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate.

A liquid containment device and method for containing leakage from a liquid reservoir. The liquid containment device comprises a base and a peripheral wall that comprises flexible resilient folds that allow a portion of the peripheral wall to be flattened against the floor to slide the liquid containment device under the liquid reservoir. The peripheral wall is resilient and returns readily to a position where it extends upwardly from the base when released. The liquid containment device can be installed by lifting slightly a reservoir, flattening a portion of the peripheral wall, sliding it under the reservoir until the flattened portion protrudes past the far edge of the reservoir whereupon it resiliently regains its shape forming a receptacle under the reservoir. Abstract not to be interpreted as limiting.
