ACTIVE INTELLIGENT WELLBORE PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM
The present invention discloses an active intelligent wellbore pressure control system, which includes a ground multi-parameter online monitoring system (86), a rotary blowout preventer (1), a wellhead back pressure compensation manifold, an automatic plugging material filling device (62), a drilling device, an MPD intelligent control system (87), a remote monitoring and control system (88), and a high-precision hydraulic calculation system (105). The present invention provides a wellbore pressure control thought of “plugging and control integration”, improves the pressure resistance of a formation by circularly plugging while drilling, realizes active control of a wellbore pressure, effectively broadens a “drilling safety density window” of the formation, reduces the requirements on the pressure control precision of a wellbore pressure control device, solves the problem that a conventional MPD technology cannot deal with the situation that the “drilling safety density window” of the formation is extremely narrow or even zero, and expands the application range of the MIPD technology.

Swivel Apparatus For Fixed Casing Ram
The present application pertains to a swivel insertable into a casing ram. The swivel comprises an inner mandrel having an upper end section and a lower end section configured to be operably connectable and rotatable with an upper workstring section and a lower workstring section, the inner mandrel comprising a longitudinal passage forming a continuation of a passage in the workstring. An outer housing is configured to seal the inner mandrel inside the outer housing. The outer diameter of the outer housing and the length of the outer housing is configured to fit a casing ram. In contrast to prior art tools placed within annular blowout preventers which have limited differential pressure ranges, the instant device allows for differential pressure during operation as high as 10,000 psi or more. The instant devices also may allow for aggressive frac pack treatments and facilitate reverse out operations.
MUD SAVER AND METAL COLLECTOR BELL NIPPLE
A bell nipple assembly includes a tubular main body and a catcher assembly positioned above the tubular main body that includes an upper opening with a diameter greater than an inner diameter of the tubular main body and one or more inwardly sloping inner surfaces configured to catch fluids falling from the rig floor or from an exterior surface of the drill string and to direct the fluids to the tubular main body. The bell nipple assembly also includes one or more magnets configured to direct a magnetic field toward an interior of the catcher assembly and to attract a metallic object falling within the interior of the catcher assembly towards the inwardly sloping inner surfaces.

Single run preloaded casing hanger and annulus seal assembly and methods of use thereof
A running tool having an annulus seal assembly and casing hanger attached thereto may be sent into to the wellhead to lock and preload the casing hanger in a single trip. The running tool may be rotated a first time to drop the annulus seal assembly on the casing hanger, a first pressure may be applied axially above the annulus seal assembly to set the annulus seal assembly, the running tool may be rotated a second time to close a gap between the annulus seal assembly and the wellhead, and a second pressure may be applied axially above the annulus seal assembly to preload the casing hanger.
System and method for actuating a locking assembly
A locking assembly includes a first motor gear configured to be rotated in a first direction. The locking assembly also includes a second motor gear configured to be rotated in a second direction. The locking assembly also includes a first lock gear configured to be rotated in the first direction in response to the first motor gear rotating in the first direction. The locking assembly also includes a second lock gear configured to be rotated in the second direction in response to the second motor gear rotating in the second direction. The locking assembly also includes a locking mechanism configured to be rotated in the first direction in response to the first lock gear rotating in the first direction, and to be rotated in the second direction in response to the second lock gear rotating in the second direction.
Top pot assembly
An improved top pot assembly utilizes an attachment body for attaching the rubber to a bearing assembly for rotation with the inner barrel. The attachment body simplifies the replacement of the rubber on the drilling assembly. The attachment body provides a guide that slopes downward into the central aperture and the bore to guide the mandrel and drilling string towards the bore. The attachment body also provides a stripper receiver for attachment of the rubber to the attachment body. The attachment body attaches to the housing which attaches to the bearing assembly for rotation of the rubber and the inner barrel.
