A tubular tool body carried at the end of a drilling rig top drive is received within a drill string being used as a landing string to position casing in a wellbore. External threads on the tool body can be mated with the box threads of the drill string to secure the top drive and drill string together for simultaneous drill string movement and fluid circulation. An annular seal carried about the tool body engages and seals with the internal wall of the drill pipe to prevent drilling fluid leakage when the tool body is received within the drill pipe without thread engagement. The tool has an internal check valve that opens to allow back flow of drilling fluid that may be displaced from the drill pipe as the pipe is lowered into the well. The check valve prevents standing fluid in the top drive from spilling onto the rig floor when the tool is withdrawn from the drill string. Pump pressure applied through the top drive axially moves the check valve against a biasing spring to open a bypass through the wall of the tool to permit forward circulation through the drill string and casing. The spring bias force is sufficient to withstand the hydrostatic force exerted by the standing column of fluid in the top drive and associated piping.

A method is disclosed for determining the operating condition of a medical pump based on data derived from a pressure sensor and a position sensor. The pressure sensor generates pressure data by sensing the force on the pumping element.

The pump pressure data and pump position data are processed and the calculated results compared with a pre-determined threshold value to determine the operating condition of the pump. The three main types of operating conditions of concern are the following: normal condition, where liquid is present and no leaks exist in pumping chamber; leak condition, where liquid is present but a leak exists in the pumping chamber; and air stroke condition, where the chamber contains some air.

An array of plugging devices are pumped sequentially from the surface through a liner, that typically becomes horizontal in nature, where each plugging device is anchorable at a specified position along the length of the liner. When the plugging device is anchored, a cluster of perforations is generated above the plugging device where the perforations may be created by detonation of a perforating gun attached to the top side of the plugging device or the perforations may be created by shifting of a sleeve that is anchored to the plugging device. The plugging device may be a cup plug where the cup is similar to a swab cup and when pump pressure is applied to the cup, a force is generated to make the cup move through the liner. When anchored, the cup also directs frac fluids through the perforations to treat the well formation. The anchoring system used on the plug may be of the type where a full bore is maintained through the liner and also allows the cup plug to travel back to the surface due to flow from the well thus eliminating any need for milling obstructions from the well bore. The use of multiple plugging devices allows multizone stage fracing throughout the length of the well.
