ABSTRACT:
Well apparatuses with device for preventing their relative rotation with respect to adjacent well apparatuses and anti-rotation devices for well apparatuses, including, but not limited to, plugs, float shoes, float collars, jars, and clutch devices for packers. In one embodiment self-aligning non-rotation devices are provided with body members having protrusions extending from recesses therein, the protrusions and recesses configured and disposed so that two opposed devices which initially misalign will co-act to align themselves. In another embodiment an intentional "sloppy fit" is provided between two opposed devices to facilitate device contact and co-action. In various embodiments unwanted separation of two devices is prevented due to the configuration of protrusions. In one embodiment a non-rotation device has a main member with a recess on which are disposed a plurality of teeth with a load member adjacent the teeth for bearing a load put on the device and for isolating the teeth from the load, the teeth extending beyond the recess. In one embodiment the teeth are configured, disposed, and profiled to facilitate their interengagement with other teeth and to contain between them foreign objects which might impede proper interengagement. In various embodiments plugs or other equipment are provided with such anti-rotating devices. In various embodiments the load member is a continuous circular ring disposed about the apparatuses outer periphery or around the opening of a channel through the device. The load members may be non-continuous upstanding members.
