Abstract:

Equipment and methods which may be used in conjunction with an underbalanced well completion. In a described embodiment, a valve for use in a subterranean well in conjunction with a tool conveyed through the valve in a container is provided. The valve includes a passage formed longitudinally through the valve, a closure assembly which selectively permits and prevents flow through the passage, and an engagement device which engages the container as the tool is conveyed through the passage. The closure assembly permits flow through the passage when the container is conveyed into the passage, and the closure assembly prevents flow through the passage when the container is removed from the passage. Engagement between the container and the engagement device separates the tool from the container.

International Classification:

E21B 7/04

US Classification:

175 61, 175 62, 1661175, 1662415

Abstract:

A directional drilling tool comprising an orientation spear point having a spear axis. The orientation spear point comprises an end shaft with a threadable extension disposed along the spear axis and a support pin having a support pin axis perpendicular to and intersecting the spear axis. An orienting pin having an orienting pin axis perpendicular to the support pin axis and spear axis and intersecting the spear axis also extends through the end shaft. A latch rod with a latching edge is connected to the end shaft, and a nose is connected to the latching rod. The directional drilling tool also comprises a crossover sub comprising a first threaded section for engaging the threadable extension, and a second threaded extension for receiving a plurality of pin dimensions, an end of a tool, or a box.

International Classification:

E21B 7/04

US Classification:

175 61, 175 62, 1661175, 1662415

Abstract:

A method for steering a steerable mud motor while attached to a retrievable replaceable measurement while drilling device comprising: securing a directional drilling tool to a retrievable replaceable measurement while drilling device, orienting the retrievable replaceable measurement while drilling device with a spear axis of an orientation spear point of the directional drilling tool, and lowering the orientation spear point into a non-magnetic drill collar above a mud motor. An orienting mule shoe stinger is attached to a gyroscopic device, which is then inserted over the orientation spear point, which orients the gyroscoping device along the spear axis, enabling steering of the mud motor while attached to the retrievable replaceable measurement while drilling device, while maintaining full retrievability of the retrievable replaceable measurement while drilling device from the well.

International Classification:

E21B 34/14

US Classification:

166373, 166 665, 1663324, 166386

Abstract:

A formation isolation valve for underbalanced drilling applications. A system for operating a formation isolation valve includes the valve interconnected in a casing string. An assembly displaces through the casing string, thereby causing the valve to open prior to the assembly reaching the valve. An operating system includes a well tool with an actuator positioned downhole. A device for causing the actuator to operate the well tool is also positioned downhole remote from the actuator. A method of operating a well tool includes the steps of: positioning the well tool in a well, the well tool including an actuator; positioning a power source for the actuator in the well; and at a downhole position remote from the actuator, causing the actuator to operate the well tool.
