Abstract: A gripping apparatus (100) for supporting a tubular includes a longitudinal opening extending therethrough. A bowl (25) is formed on an inner wall of the housing to provide an incline surface for one or more gripping members (20). As the gripping members are move down along the incline, the incline causes the gripping members to move radially toward the tubular and contact the tubular. In one embodiment, the housing comprises two body portions (11, 12) coupled together using one or mores hinges (35). In one aspect, the bowl is formed as a recess in the inner wall (42) of the housing. The hinges of the housing are progressively curved to accommodate the recess bowl, thereby increasing the tubular size handling capacity of the gripping apparatus.

Abstract: A setting tool for hanging a tubular string includes: a mandrel having an upper portion and a lower portion for extending into the tubular string; a housing connected to the mandrel upper portion; and a bonnet. The bonnet is: for receiving an upper end of the tubular string, disposed along the mandrel, and linked to the housing. The setting tool further includes: an actuator for stroking the bonnet relative to the mandrel and the housing, thereby setting a hanger of the tubular string; an electronics package in communication with the actuator for operating the actuator in response to receiving a command signal; and a latch. The latch is: connected to the mandrel lower portion, operable between an extended position and a retracted position, for being restrained in the retracted position by being disposed in the tubular string, and extendable by being removed from the tubular string.

Abstract: An electronic control system comprises a first tubular handling tool, a sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to control actuation of the first tubular handling tool in response to an electronic signal received from the sensor that corresponds to an operational characteristic of the first tubular handling tool. The electronic control system functions as an electronic interlock system to prevent mishandling of a tubular. A method of controlling a tubular handling tool comprises measuring an operational characteristic of the tubular handling tool, communicating the operational characteristic to a controller in the form of an electronic signal, and using the controller to control actuation of the tubular handling tool in response to the measured operational characteristic.

Abstract: TELEMETRY OPERATED SETTING TOOL A running tool (53) for deploying a tubular string (15) into a wellbore (24) includes a tubular body (65) and a latch (69) for releasably connecting the tubular string (15) to the body (65). The latch (69) includes a longitudinal fastener (90) for engaging a longitudinal profile of the tubular string (15) and a torsional fastener (77k) for engaging a torsional profile of the tubular string (15). The running tool (53) further includes a lock (67) movable between a locked position and an unlocked position and the lock (67) keeps the latch (69) engaged in the locked position. The running tool (53) further includes an actuator (75) operable to at least move the lock (67) from the locked position to the unlocked position and an electronics package (72) in communication with the actuator (75) for operating the actuator (75) in response to receiving a command signal. -80 77t 87 77d 87 fl% A l-N 17lf- A 17 Clf- A r7

Abstract: A control system is configured to actuate a tubular handling tool. The system includes a fluid source and a tubular handling tool having a plurality of piston cylinders and a plurality of slips configured to engage a tubular string. The system also includes a volume synchronizer having a plurality of first chambers in fluid communication with the fluid source, a plurality of second chambers in fluid communication with the piston cylinders, a piston separating each of the first and second chambers, and a rod member connected to each piston. Pressurized fluid supplied to the first chambers simultaneously moves each of the pistons to simultaneously force pressurized fluid out of the second chambers and into the piston cylinders to actuate the slips into engagement with the tubular string.
