A fluid supply system supplying multiple fluid consumers of a vehicle with fluid, the fluid supply system including: a first pump supplying a first fluid consumer, arranged in a first supply circulation of the vehicle, with fluid; a second pump supplying a second fluid consumer, arranged in a second supply circulation of the vehicle, with fluid; and a directional control valve adjustable between a first valve position and at least one other, second valve position and preferably includes an electromagnetic device for adjusting. The directional control valve allows the fluid to be delivered from the second pump into the first supply circulation in the first valve position and separates the first supply circulation from the second pump, or allows the fluid to be delivered from the second pump into the first supply circulation only to a restricted extent as compared to the first valve position, in the second valve position.

A pressurizing device includes: a pressurizing unit that pressurizes a pressurized object by supplying a working fluid; a first cylinder mechanism that supplies the working fluid in a first cylinder to the pressurizing unit by output of a first drive source; a second cylinder mechanism that supplies the working fluid in a second cylinder to the pressurizing unit by output of a second drive source; and a control device that controls the first drive source and the second drive source, in which the control device performs transition control to transition to a second supply state of supplying the working fluid from the second cylinder mechanism to the pressurizing unit when satisfying a remaining amount condition of the working fluid in the first cylinder of the first cylinder mechanism in a first supply state of supplying the working fluid from the first cylinder mechanism to the pressurizing unit.

A hydraulic control circuit operable to selectively hydraulically link first and second hydraulic actuators and to bypass that hydraulic link.

A hydraulic system including a first cylinder conduit configured to couple to a cylinder, a second cylinder conduit configured to fluidly coupled to the cylinder, and a bypass conduit fluidly coupled both to the first cylinder conduit upstream of the cylinder and to the second cylinder conduit downstream of the cylinder. The bypass conduit is configured to enable intermittent fluid flow of a hydraulic fluid from the first cylinder conduit to the second cylinder conduit while bypassing at least a portion of the cylinder.

A pressurizing device includes: a pressurizing unit that pressurizes a pressurized object by supplying a working fluid; a first cylinder mechanism that supplies the working fluid in a first cylinder to the pressurizing unit by output of a first drive source; a second cylinder mechanism that supplies the working fluid in a second cylinder to the pressurizing unit by output of a second drive source; and a control device that controls the first drive source and the second drive source, in which the control device performs transition control to transition to a second supply state of supplying the working fluid from the second cylinder mechanism to the pressurizing unit when satisfying a remaining amount condition of the working fluid in the first cylinder of the first cylinder mechanism in a first supply state of supplying the working fluid from the first cylinder mechanism to the pressurizing unit.

A hydraulic control circuit operable to selectively hydraulically link first and second hydraulic actuators and to bypass that hydraulic link.

A downhole tractor has at least one hydraulic drive section, comprising a first hydraulic supply line for actuating at least one hydraulic cylinder for actuating at least one tractor arm and a second hydraulic supply line for driving at least one hydraulic motor for rotating at least one tractor wheel. The downhole tractor further comprises a hydraulic power pack configured for supplying hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic supply lines. The hydraulic power pack comprises a pressure-setting valve provided in between the first hydraulic supply line and the second hydraulic supply line, wherein the pressure-setting valve is configured for feeding excess hydraulic fluid in the first hydraulic supply line to the second hydraulic supply line to increase the speed of the downhole tractor.

A hydraulic control circuit operable to selectively hydraulically link first and second hydraulic actuators and to bypass that hydraulic link.

A fluid supply system supplying multiple fluid consumers of a vehicle with fluid, the fluid supply system including: a first pump supplying a first fluid consumer, arranged in a first supply circulation of the vehicle, with fluid; a second pump supplying a second fluid consumer, arranged in a second supply circulation of the vehicle, with fluid; and a directional control valve adjustable between a first valve position and at least one other, second valve position and preferably includes an electromagnetic device for adjusting. The directional control valve allows the fluid to be delivered from the second pump into the first supply circulation in the first valve position and separates the first supply circulation from the second pump, or allows the fluid to be delivered from the second pump into the first supply circulation only to a restricted extent as compared to the first valve position, in the second valve position.

A thread compensator for performing casing running operations. An example method may include visually ascertaining operational parameters of a thread compensator displayed on a video output device. The thread compensator may be connected between a top drive and a travelling block, and a casing running tool may be connected to the top drive. The operational parameters may include the height that the top drive is lifted by the thread compensator and force applied to casing by the top drive. The method may further comprise manually controlling well construction equipment to perform casing running operations based on the ascertained operational parameters.
