121 Wear indicator for rotary drilling tools US09183504 1998-10-30 US06167833A 2001-01-02 Douglas Bruce Caraway; Tony Martin Watts; Douglas Alan Patton; David Martin Nguyen
A wear indicator is provided for a rotary drilling tool of the type which comprises a bit body having a leading surface for cutting, abrading or reaming a hole in a target substrate material such as a sub-surface formation, the wear indicator comprising or including one or more discrete areas of a visually distinct material to that from which the drilling tool is mainly composed, the visually distinct material being arranged or configured at or adjacent the surface of the bit such that progressive wear of the bit and hence the or each visually distinct discrete area provides a visual indication of surface wear of the tool.
122 Method for monitoring the wear of a rotary type drill bit US287640 1988-12-20 US4926950A 1990-05-22 Djurre H. Zijsling
A rotary drill bit is provided with cutting elements having a front layer of interbonded abrasive particles, such as synthetic diamonds, which layer has a thickness that varies with distance from the bit body. The characteristic relation thus obtained between bit agressiveness and bit wear can be used to monitor the bit wear condition during drilling.
123 Downhole vibration monitoring of a drillstring US166897 1988-03-11 US4903245A 1990-02-20 David A. Close; Steven C. Owens; Trevor K. C. Pugh
Apparatus for monitoring vibration of a bottom hole assembly used to drill a well includes at least one accelerometer mounted in the bottom hole assembly to generate data in the form of electrical signals corresponding to the acceleration experienced by the assembly. The computer in the assembly is programmed to collect data from the accelerometer and compute magnitude of the assembly acceleration. Means are provided for selecting from the collected data a value which exceeds a preset level. In one form, when the collected data has a value above a preset level, an alarm signal is sent to the surface so corrective measures can be taken to prevent damage to downhole equipment.
124 Wellbore tool with hall effect coupling US276722 1988-11-28 US4884071A 1989-11-28 Mig A. Howard

125 Drill bit with wear indicating feature US166593 1988-03-10 US4785895A 1988-11-22 Albert P. Davis, Jr.; Joseph W. Stolle
An earth drilling bit incorporating a tensioned linkage type bit wear indicator. A tensioned linkage extends through the bit between a wear sensor and a device for altering the resistance of the bit to receiving drilling fluid from the drill string. On detecting a predetermined degree of wear, the wear sensor releases the tension in the tensioned linkage. This activates the flow resistance altering device, causing the flow rate and/or pumping pressure of the drilling fluid to change. The tensioned linkage passes through two intersecting passageways in the bit. A guide element is inserted at the intersection of the two intersecting passageways. The guide element routes the tensioned linkage between the two passageways.
126 Method of analyzing vibrations from a drilling bit in a borehole US901073 1986-08-28 US4773263A 1988-09-27 Marc Lesage; Michael Sheppard
Information on tooth wear is obtained from the frequency distribution spectrum of a vibrational quantity influenced by the impact of cutter teeth on the bottom of a bore. For example, spectra may be obtained from the product of signals indicative of torque and torsional acceleration. Tooth wear is then indicated by the shift upwardly in frequency of peaks in the spectra. Other quantities which may be used, singly or together to enhance spectral information, are weight on bit, vertical acceleration, transverse acceleration, standpipe pressure. Abrupt changes in frequency distribution curves indicate abrupt occurrences such as broken teeth or stuck cones. A stuck cone is also indicated by unidirectional peaks in a plot of torsional acceleration against time.
127 Changeover bit for extended life, varied formations and steady wear US839415 1986-03-14 US4690228A 1987-09-01 Dieter Voelz; Roland Illerhaus
A roller cone bit may be used as a rotating drag bit by treating the roller cones as carriers for a plurality of distinguishable types of drag cutters. The roller cones are each coupled to a mechanism which selectively allows rotation of the roller cones. The roller cones are otherwise fixed and as the bit is rotated, the drag cutters are brought into engagement with the rock. However, where the roller cones are selectively allowed to rotate, rotation of the drag bit rotates the roller cones to bring a second set of drag cutters into a configuration for cutting the rock formation. A mechanism then selectively locks the roller cones to prevent further rotation, keeping the second set of drag cutters fixed in place. By selectively permitting and preventing rotation of the roller cones, a plurality of sets of drag cutters can be brought into a configuration for cutting the rock. Such a drag bit may be employed to bring drag cutters selectively into play to cut different types of rock formation, or to present renewed cutters after an initial set of cutters have been worn by a predetermined degree. Furthermore, rotation of the roller cones may be slowed by application of a drag to each roller cone. The drag cutters on each roller cone will be sequentially brought into a cutting configuration with respect to the rock and wear will be evenly distributed among the drag cutters.
128 Battery powered means and method for facilitating measurements while coring US522923 1983-08-12 US4499955A 1985-02-19 Frank L. Campbell; Dean C. Barnum; William C. Corea
In accordance with the present invention, rotation of the inner barrel relative of the axis of symmetry of the core barrel (indicative of core twist off or core sand erosion during coring operations) is detected by a novel sensor combination comprising a battery-powered Hall-effect device fitted to the inner barrel imbedded in a support sleeve of a custom safety sub attached to the outer core barrel adjacent to a single signature magnet.During coring, circumferential passage of the Hall-effect device adjacent to the signature magnet (during rotation of the outer core barrel to generate a core), produces a series of signals of constant repetition rate. But with the occurrence of rotation of the inner core barrel irregular repetition intervals are produced at uphole indicating equipment connected to the Hall-effect device through conventional downhole telemetering and power generating equipment. Result: sticking and jamming of the core can be immediately detected and uphole parameters modified to ease unsafe conditions.Use of a battery pack to power the Hall-effect device, simplifies operations, especially where the present invention is used in conjunction with the MWC mud pulse telemetering equipment.
129 Well tool US49458 1979-06-18 US4260030A 1981-04-07 Fred K. Fox

130 Down hole well drilling tool with reversible thrust bearings US849988 1977-11-09 US4114704A 1978-09-19 William Casper Maurer; Albert Richard Sinclair; William Jesse McDonald, Jr.
A turbo drill which is connected to a string of drill pipe as a rotating shaft for driving a drill bit which may be a rotary bit or a high speed solid head diamond bit. The turbine section has rotor and stator blades which are cresent shaped in cross section with each blade having an exit angle of 14.degree. - 23.degree. for maximum turbine efficiency. The bearing shaft is provided with chevron rotary seals positioned below the rotary bearings carrying both radial and vertical thrust. Fluid lubricant fills the space from the rotary seals to a predetermined level above the bearings. A piston seals the lubricant chamber and is pressurized by drilling fluid (i.e. mud) flowing through the tool. A layer of lubricant fluid overlies the first piston and has a second piston covering said fluid and transmitting pressure from the drilling fluid to the lubricant fluid surrounding the bearings. A plug member in the bearing shaft is positioned to be dislodged at the low lubricant position of the first piston to provide a temporary obstruction to the flow of drilling fluid to give an indication, at the well surface, of loss of lubricant in the tubro drill. An optional feature provides for increasing the pressure drop of drilling fluid in the turbo drill to cause the vertical thrust to be carried on the bottom vertical thrust bearings, after the top vertical thrust bearings are worn, and thus extend the drilling life substantially. A further optional feature is a locking ring arrangement which prevents separation of threaded connections in the drill housing during use.

135 Radioactive tracer system to indicate drill bit wear or failure US28186972 1972-08-18 US3818227A 1974-06-18 FRIES B
A radioactive tracer system for indicating drill bit wear or failure utilizing radioactive krypton 85 in clathrate form, in the form of water-soluble kryptonates, or dissolved in grease. Preferably the radioactive krypton is placed so that when drill bit wear or failure occurs, the radioactive krypton 85 is released and effectively becomes diffused in the circulating drilling fluid. At the surface, the radioactive krypton 85 gas is separated from the circulating drilling fluid by gas-mud separating means and is transported as a gas to a counting chamber where an accurate radioactivity count of beta rays released from the krypton is obtained. The beta rays indicate drill bit wear or failure when detected above the normal background radioactivity of the recirculating drilling fluid. The radioactive krypton may also be implanted in the teeth or other surfaces of the cones of drill bits or implanted in the shirttail or other body parts of the bit.
