Nov 8, 2011

Appl. No.:

14/110145

Inventors:

Curtis Lanning - Montgomery TX, US
Dong Phung - Spring TX, US
Aaron Schen - The Woodland TX, US
Jacob Riddel - Humble TX, US

Assignee:

NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO, INC. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 6/02
E21B 4/02
E21B 4/06

US Classification:

175 57, 175107

Abstract:

A valve () for controlling the flow of a drilling fluid through a down-hole tool () positionable in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The down-hole tool has a housing with a drilling motor therein and a drill bit () at an end thereof. The drilling motor () has a housing with a rotor () rotationally movable in a rotor channel () as the drilling fluid passes through a rotor channel between the housing and the rotor. The rotor has a bypass channel therethrough for bypassing a portion of the drilling fluid therethrough. The valve includes a valve plate positionable upstream of the motor. The valve plate () has at least one flow passage () and at least one bypass passage () therethrough. The flow passage is in fluid communication with the rotor channel for passing the drilling fluid therethrough. The bypass passage is in selective fluid communication with the bypass channel when the rotor rotates about the housing and moves the bypass channel into alignment with at least a portion of the bypass passage for bypassing a portion of the drilling fluid therethrough whereby a hammering effect is generated on the bit.

Assignee:

National Oilwell Varco, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 47/017

Abstract:

An electronics module or “puck” is positioned in a recess formed in the outer surface of a downhole tool. The puck body includes a flange segment having a first outer diameter, and an adjacent seal-engaging segment having an outer diameter that is less than the outer diameter of the flange segment. An annular seal is disposed about the seal-engaging segment and seals between the puck and the perimeter wall of the recess. A cover ring is disposed over an intermediate segment of the puck body, capturing the seal between the cover and the flange segment. A retainer ring is employed to selectively engage and disengage the perimeter wall of the recess, retaining the puck, seal and covering ring in the recess. A method for installation and removal of the puck is disclosed.

G01V 1/46
E21B 12/02
E21B 47/09

Abstract:

Some embodiments include a sensor assembly comprising a sensor to be carried by a movable component movably positionable about a tool body of a downhole tool. The sensor is to take wellsite measurements and the downhole tool is positionable in a wellbore. The sensor assembly further includes electronics positionable in the movable component. The electronics are to electrically connect to the sensor to receive the wellsite measurements from the sensor, and the wellsite measurements are usable to determine wellsite parameters.

International Classification:

G01N 27/20

Abstract:

A sensor assembly for a downhole tool including a tool body and a movable component movably positionable about the tool body is disclosed. The sensor assembly may include a wear sensor and/or a position sensor. The wear sensor may include a core with conductors at various depths to send a signal, whereby, upon wear of the core, a change in the signal at the depth of the wear is detectable. The position sensor may be carried by the movable component, and may be used with references comprising magnets distributed about the tool body. The position sensor includes magnets having polarity responsive to polarity of the references whereby a position of the movable component is determined. The sensor assembly may also include a chassis housing electronics coupled to the position sensor and/or the wear sensor.

E21B 4/02

US Classification:

175 40

Abstract:

A downhole sensing assembly for sensing motor parameters of a downhole motor positionable in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation is provided. The downhole motor has a stator and a rotor rotatable within the stator. The sensing assembly includes at least one rotor extension operatively connectable to the rotor and movable therewith, at least one marker positionable about the rotor extension, and at least one motor sensor positionable about a downhole tool and operatively coupled to the marker to detect movement of the marker whereby motor parameters, such as rotational speed of the motor, are detectable.

US Classification:

175 57, 175428, 175431

Abstract:

A drill bit for drilling a borehole in an earthen formation includes a connection member having a pin end. In addition, the drill bit includes a bit body coupled to the connection member and configured to rotate relative to the connection member about a central axis of the bit. The bit body includes a bit face. Further, the drill bit includes a blade extending radially along the bit face. Still further, the drill bit includes a plurality of cutter elements mounted to a cutter-supporting surface of the blade. Moreover, the drill bit includes a depth-of-cut limiting structure slidably disposed in a bore extending axially from the cutter-supporting surface. The depth-of-cut limiting structure is configured to move axially relative to the bit body in response to rotation of the bit body relative to the connection member.
