20140053917 | DUAL STAGE FLOW BACK RECOVERY SYSTEM - A flow back recovery system for wells includes a plurality of pressure vessels with baffles and outlets for separating the various components of the flow back fluid. A diffuser is positioned between the well head and the first pressure vessel. The diffuser includes an interior diffuser pipe having a plurality of baffles and outlets. The diffuser pipe may be easily replaced in the field should it wear out due to the abrasive nature of the flow back fluid. | 02-27-2014 |
20130232750 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING TUBULARS DURING INSTALLATION - Method and apparatus are provided for preventing damage to the surface of metal tubulars or work pieces when force to turn or support the tubulars is applied by the serrated surface of a die or insert. A woven fabric made from a polymer and having a selected thickness and structure is maintained between the die and the surface to be protected. | 09-12-2013 |
20130192817 | Apparatus for Aligning Tubulars During Placement in a Well - Apparatus is provided for aligning tubulars when a drilling rig is used to lower a string of tubulars into a well. A joint of tubular can be moved to a vertical position above a connector to which it is to be joined and placed at the angle where threads on the joint and connector can be joined at low torque without damage to the threads. The apparatus can be used on a variety of drilling rigs and provides a safer environment for workers on the rig. | 08-01-2013 |
20130126168 | Rotary Fluid Jet Cutter - Apparatus for cutting tubulars or solid work pieces by fluid jet pressure without the need for attaching the apparatus to the tubular. The apparatus minimizes the risk of explosion due to overheating or sparks caused by open flames, k method for cutting the tubular or solid work piece is also disclosed. The apparatus may be used for cutting the casing of an oil or gas well as it is removed from the well. | 05-23-2013 |
20120012309 | Flow Back Recovery System - A system and method for processing flow back from an oil or gas well after a fracturing or other well treatment process includes a first trailer having a high pressure filter, a sand separator, and a choke manifold and a second trailer including a gas separator and holding tanks for water and oil. Each trailer may be equipped with a drip or catch pan to confine any leakage of liquid that may occur. | 01-19-2012 |
20110278515 | Pushing or Pulling Device - A handling assembly includes motor driver wheel assemblies that are supported on one or more platforms. The wheel assembles can be moved inwardly into engagement with tubing, cable or rods extending through the platforms so that the tubing, cable or rods can be raised or lowered in a controlled manner by frictional contact between the driven wheels and the tubing, cable or rods. | 11-17-2011 |
20110278514 | Pushing or Pulling Device - A handling assembly includes motor driver wheel assemblies that are supported on one or more platforms. The wheel assembles can be moved inwardly into engagement with tubing, cable or rods extending through the platforms so that the tubing, cable or rods can be raised or lowered in a controlled manner by frictional contact between the driven wheels and the tubing, cable or rods. | 11-17-2011 |
20110259836 | Material Separator - A material separator removes material such as sand from a fluid utilizing an inclined housing having a fluid flow inlet in a lower portion of the housing. Higher density material descends by gravity to a lower wall of the inclined housing and continues to travel down the lower wall portion to a lower section of the housing where it is removed. The remaining fluid which may contain a liquid and a gas is removed from the housing via an outlet at the upper portion of the housing. | 10-27-2011 |
