A power tong wrench having an open slot to accommodate a range of pipe diameters capable of making and breaking pipe threads and spinning in or out the threads and in which hydraulic power is supplied with a pump disposed within a rotary assembly, which pump is powered through a non-mechanical coupling, preferably magnetic, to a motor disposed outside the rotary assembly.

Power tong wrench

A portable top drive drilling unit that is a self-contained assembly of components adapted for quick installation in a drilling rig and which requires a minimum of modification to the rig structure.

Portable top drive

A backup tool for engaging a drill pipe body having elongated jaws such that the pressure exerted by the jaws on the drill pipe body is sufficiently distributed to not damage the drill pipe body.

Backup tool and method for preventing rotation of a drill string

The present invention discloses structures which enable the construction or conversion of drilling rigs in which the rotary table and kelly are replaced by a top drive rotating mechanism. Furthermore, torque guide is provided to control lateral movement of the top drive and resist reactionary rotational forces induced by the top drive, without applying additional forces to the mast of the rig.
