In one aspect, an access tool 210 is operatively connected to the top drive and adapted for accessing a fluid passage of the top drive system. The access tool may be configured for top entry (fig. 1) or disposed below the top drive. The access tool may be used for insertion of a conveying member such as a wireline 15. In a second aspect, a launching tool (360, fig. 8) and actuating device (367, fig. 8) are coupled to the top drive. The actuating device may release a ball or plug. In a third aspect, a cementing tool (515, fig. 9) is coupled to the top drive. |
