Continuous Flow Drilling Systems And Methods

US Patent:

8016033, Sep 13, 2011

Filed:

Jul 25, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/180121

Inventors:

David Iblings - Houston TX, US
Thomas F. Bailey - Houston TX, US
Ram K. Bansal - Houston TX, US
Adrian Steiner - Calgary, CA
Michael Lynch - Houston TX, US
Simon J. Harrall - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 7/00, E21B 33/00, E21B 34/00

US Classification:

1662441, 166192, 166 54

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method for drilling a wellbore includes injecting drilling fluid into a top of a tubular string disposed in the wellbore at a first flow rate. The tubular string includes: a drill bit disposed on a bottom thereof, tubular joints connected together, a longitudinal bore therethrough, and a port through a wall thereof. The drilling fluid exits the drill bit and carries cuttings from the drill bit. The cuttings and drilling fluid (returns) flow to the surface via an annulus defined between the tubular string and the wellbore. The method further includes rotating the drill bit while injecting the drilling fluid; remotely removing a plug from the port, thereby opening the port; and injecting drilling fluid into the port at a second flow rate while adding a tubular joint or stand of joints to the tubular string. The injection of drilling fluid into the tubular string is continuously maintained between drilling and adding the joint or stand to the drill string. The method further includes remotely installing a plug into the port, thereby closing the port.

Tools And Methods For Hanging And/Or Expanding Liner Strings

US Patent:

8286717, Oct 16, 2012

Filed:

May 5, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/436073

Inventors:

Richard L. Giroux - Cypress TX, US
Michael Lynch - Houston TX, US
Lev Ring - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 23/00, E21B 23/04, E21B 33/13

US Classification:

166382, 166208, 166386, 166 666

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to tools and methods for hanging and/or expanding liner strings. In one embodiment, a method of hanging a liner assembly from a previously installed tubular in a wellbore includes running the liner assembly and a setting tool into the wellbore using a run-in string. The setting tool includes an isolation valve and the liner assembly includes a liner hanger and a liner string. The method further includes sending an instruction signal from the surface to the isolation valve, wherein the isolation valve closes in response to the instruction signal and isolates a setting pressure in the setting tool from the liner string; and increasing fluid pressure in the setting tool, thereby setting the liner hanger.

Continuous Flow Drilling Systems And Methods

US Patent:

2012006, Mar 15, 2012

Filed:

Sep 7, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/227260

Inventors:

David Iblings - Houston TX, US
Thomas F. Bailey - Houston TX, US
R. K. Bansal - Houston TX, US
Adrian Steiner - Calgary, CA
Michael Lynch - Houston TX, US
Simon J. Harrall - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 34/00, E21B 7/00

US Classification:

166316, 175 57

Abstract:

A method for drilling a wellbore includes drilling the wellbore by injecting drilling fluid into a top of a tubular string disposed in the wellbore at a first flow rate and rotating a drill bit. The tubular string includes: the drill bit disposed on a bottom thereof, tubular joints connected together, a longitudinal bore therethrough, a port through a wall thereof, and a sleeve operable between an open position where the port is exposed to the bore and a closed position where a wall of the sleeve is disposed between the port and the bore. The method further includes moving the sleeve to the open position; and injecting drilling fluid into the port at a second flow rate while adding a tubular joint(s) to the tubular string. The injection of drilling fluid into the tubular string is continuously maintained between drilling and adding the joint(s).

Compositions And Methods For Olefin Recovery

US Patent:

2011021, Sep 1, 2011

Filed:

Jun 8, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/997148

Inventors:

Robert C. Schucker - The Woodlands TX, US
Michael F. Lynch - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Trans Ionics Corporation - The Woodlands TX

International Classification:

C07C 7/156, C07C 7/152, C09K 3/00

US Classification:

585845, 585855, 252184

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for the recovery of olefins from a mixture. The compositions of the present invention comprise: (1) a transition metal ion; (2) a counter anion; (3) a ligand selected from the group consisting of a bidentate ligand and a tridentate ligand, wherein the ligand comprises at least two nitrogen atoms, and wherein each of the nitrogen atoms comprises a lone pair of electrons; and (4) a polar solvent with a boiling point of at least about 200° C. The methods of the present invention comprise: (1) providing the aforementioned compositions; (2) bonding at least a portion of the olefins in a mixture to the transition metal ion in the composition to form a complex; (3) separating the complex from the mixture; and (4) recovering the olefins from the complex.

Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 23/00

US Classification:

175 40, 175 48

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for communicating between surface equipment and downhole equipment. One embodiment of the invention provides a wellhead assembly that allows electrical power and signals to pass into and out of the well during drilling operations, without removing the valve structure above the wellhead. Another embodiment of the invention provides an electromagnetic casing antenna system for two-way communication with downhole tools. Another embodiment of the invention provides an antenna module for a resistivity sub that effectively controls and seals the primary/secondary interface gap.
