The present disclosure provides a winch overload protection system, a workover system, and a method for operating a workover system. The winch overload protection system, in one embodiment, includes an overload detection unit operable to detect when a load on a winch of a workover system exceeds a safety load limit. The winch overload protection system, in this embodiment, further includes an overload control unit configured to receive an overload signal from the overload detection unit, and in response thereto release a brake on the winch.

A coiled tubing system includes a coiled tubing unit with a coiled tubing string carried by the unit, the coiled tubing string having a stinger end; an injector support frame having an upper and lower ends; a coiled tubing injector disposed at the upper end of the support frame and engaging the coiled tubing string; and a loading device supported between the coiled tubing injector and the lower end of the frame, the loading device attached to the stinger end of the coiled tubing string. The system may include a riser tube disposed between the upper end of the frame and the loading device, coupling a housing of the loading device to a base of the coiled tubing injector, the coiled tubing string extending through the riser. The system may include a support device supporting the loading device, the support device pivotally supporting the loading device relative to the frame.

A downhole tool includes a hydraulically operated actuation device to actuate the downhole tool and a control system that regulates flow of hydraulic fluid to the actuation device. The control system includes a pilot module and a power module. The power module has a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve fluidly coupled to a pressure source and a fluid return. The power module is fluidly coupled to the actuation device at an output line and a power line. A first power module check valve is arranged in the power line, a second power module check valve is arranged in a control pressure return line fluidly coupled to the fluid return, a first input communicates with the first solenoid valve, and a second input communicates with the second solenoid valve. A pilot-operated check valve is actuatable in response to a pilot signal to drain hydraulic fluid from the power module.

Modular electro-hydraulic downhole control system

Hydraulic workover system having at least two sets of hydraulic cylinders coupled with a single load. A plurality of control valves transitionable between a closed position and an open position, the plurality of control valves having at least one extend control valve disposed between each set of hydraulic cylinders and an extend supply pump, at least one retract control valve disposed between each set of hydraulic cylinders and a retract supply pump, and at least one float control valve disposed between each set of hydraulic cylinders and a float supply pump. A logic control system coupled with the plurality of control valves and configured to transition the plurality of control valves between the closed and open position, thereby controlling flow between the at least two sets of hydraulic cylinders and the extend supply pump, retract supply pump, and float supply pump.

This invention relates to a dual jacking system and method for inserting and extracting tubulars, or the like into and out of a well, such as an oil or gas well, at a relatively high rate of speed.

Dual jacking system and method

A mining auger comprises a cutting head carried at one end of a tubular shaft and a plurality of wall segments which in a first position thereof are disposed side by side around said shaft and in a second position thereof are disposed oblique to said shaft. A vane projects outwardly from each wall segment. When the wall segments are in their first position, the vanes together form a substantially continuous helical wall. A cutter is mounted on the peripheral edge of each of the vanes. When the wall segments are in their second position, the cutters on the vanes are disposed radially outward from the perimeter of the cutting head.
