Abstract
An apparatus for creating vibrations in a pipe string is disclosed. The device comprises a fluid pump which pumps fluid within a first fluid bore and is connected to the pipe string. A hydraulic pump pumps fluid within a second fluid bore and a movable plunger disposed between the first fluid bore and the second fluid bore intermittently opens and closes access to a tank based on changes to a pressure of the fluid pump. The tank for collecting at least a portion of the fluid is connected to the apparatus via the first fluid bore, and the movement of the plunger is configured to generate vibrations within the pipe string by altering the amount of fluid allowed to flow to the tank.
