System And Method For Identifying Equipment

US Patent:
2007014, Jun 28, 2007
Filed:
Dec 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/318772
Inventors:
Gregg Perkin - Kingwood TX, US
Keven O'Connor - Houston TX, US
John Hadjioannou - Spring TX, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00, G06K 7/08, G06K 19/06
US Classification:
235385000, 235451000, 235492000
Abstract:
An apparatus for identifying oilfield tubular assets. A ring having an inner diameter is supported within the inner diameter of the tubular asset so that the inner diameter of the ring is substantially flush with the inner diameter of the tubular asset. At least one electronic circuit supported by the ring and adapted to transmit a unique identification code to a portable receiver. The portable receiver may have a display to communicate identity of the tubular asset. The portable receiver may display tubular asset maintenance and usage records stored at a central location or at the electronic circuit.

Oilfield Equipment Identification Apparatus

US Patent:
5360967, Nov 1, 1994
Filed:
Aug 25, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/111781
Inventors:
Gregg S. Perkin - Kingwood TX
Lawrence A. Denny - Oklahoma City OK
International Classification:
G06K 700
US Classification:
235375
Abstract:
An apparatus for identifying equipment, including the maintenance of usage histories for the equipment and recommending whether the equipment is to be used in a prospective application based on prospective application and usage history. A portable encapsulated passive circuit capable of transmitting an identification code is affixed to a piece of equipment. The circuit is activated by a portable reader which receives and decodes the identification code and transmits it to a central computer. The central computer verifies the reader and the existence of the equipment in a database and retrieves the usage history for the equipment. Based on the usage history, the prospective application and guidelines for usage of equipment, the computer determines the advisability of using the equipment in the prospective application and transmits the recommendation back to the portable reader.

International Classification:
E21B 1032
US Classification:
175269
Abstract:
A borehole operating tool such as an underreamer or milling tool for performing borehole expanding or cutting operations in an oil well borehole, the tool including an elongated cylindrical housing having a main bore and side openings in which expandable arms are mounted for pivotal movement between closed and opened positions by a pivot pin; a piston element is mounted within the main bore of the housing for moving to an actuated position holding the expandable arms in an outer, expanded position; and a rotary fluid housing is mounted within each expandable arm about the hinge pin and includes a body nozzle for receiving fluid from the body and an expandable arm nozzle for directing fluid into a bore which extends through the expandable arm to thereby provide circulating fluid outwardly of the expandable arm in order to keep the operating outer end area of the expandable arm from becoming clogged.

Method For Assembling A Well Drilling Tool

US Patent:
4709462, Dec 1, 1987
Filed:
Aug 4, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/892315
Inventors:
Gregg S. Perkin - Kingwood TX
Duane D. Papke - Didsbury, CA
Assignee:
Oil Patch Group, Inc.
International Classification:
B23P 1100, E21B 922, E21B 1710
US Classification:
29434
Abstract:
A drilling tool for use in drilling operations for providing shock absorption capability and lateral support to the rotary drill string. The telescoping axial load shock absorber is positioned immediately adjacent at least one lateral support provided by a reamer or stabilizer. The stabilizer preferably employs a removable fixed blade secured to the tool by an undercut groove. The roller cutter for a reamer is also mounted in a preferred unique manner with the mounting blocks secured in a recess having an undercut retainer portion in the event of bolting failure. The mounting's brackets may be formed integral of the tool body or attached by welding or the like. A preferred form of mounting a blade on a stabilizer tool is also disclosed.
