An end piece arrangement is mounted on an end of a pipe sleeve to close off the annular passage between the pipe sleeve and drill stem and to divert an upward flow of sludge, cuttings and gas into a conduit system to transport the flow to a remote location. In one embodiemnt, the arrangement is a self-contained unit that houses seal rings to seal against the drill stem. In another embodiment, the arrangement includes separate components; i.e. a housing mounted on the pipe sleeve to divert the upward flow and a seal unit mounted on the drill stem and rotatably mounted in the housing. |
