Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a torque sub for us e with a top drive. In one embodiment a method of connecting threaded tubular members for use in a wellbore is disclosed. The method includes operating a top driv e, thereby rotating a first threaded tubular member relative to a second threaded tubul ar member; measuring a torque exerted on the first tubular member by the top drive, wherein the torque is measured using a torque shaft rotationally coupled to the top driv e and the first tubular, the torque shaft having a strain gage disposed thereon; wirelessly transmitting the measured torque from the torque shaft to a stationary interface; measuring rotation of the first tubular member; determining acceptability of the threaded connection; and stopping rotation of the first threaded member when the threaded connection is complete or if the threaded connection is unacceptable.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for running tubulars into and out of a wellbore. A gripping apparatus is activated with an actuator having a primary actuator and a redundant safety feature. The redundant safety feature may include one or more redundant fluid operated pistons. The gripping apparatus may include an integrated safety system adapted to prevent damage to the tubulars while making and breaking out connections between the tubulars and the tubular string.

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.
