| 174 | Fatigue Resistant Rotary Shouldered Connection and Method | US11307981 | 2006-03-01 | US20060214421A1 | 2006-09-28 | Andrei Muradov |
| Threaded connections are provided with a thread form that permits the construction of enlarged root radii between adjacent threads. Relatively coarse thread leads formed along conical surfaces with relatively extended tapers cooperate with relatively tall thread heights and an enlarged root radius (or radii) to produce a fatigue resistant, rotary-shouldered connection that can be assembled with reasonably attainable high torque forces. The ratios between the thread lead, measured in threads per inch, as the numerator, and denominators comprising the untruncated thread height of the thread, and/or the root truncation and/or the root radius (or radii) are maintained at low values compared to those existing in conventional prior art connections. The ratio of the untruncated thread height to the root radius (or radii) is also retained at a relatively low value as compared to that existing in many prior art configurations. The connection design produces an unexpectedly high resistance to fatigue damage or failure. The connection may be employed in any rotary-shouldered connection and is particularly effective in preventing fatigue damage in the stiffer components of drill stem assemblies including single shoulder and double shoulder drill collar connections. | ||||||

| The present invention provides a drilling assembly and method that is especially useful for a bottom hole drilling assembly for drilling a borehole through an earth formation. In one embodiment, the drilling assembly is preferably comprised of a tungsten alloy which is sufficiently plastic to be able to withstand the bending, torsional, and compressive stresses which occur in a bottom hole drilling assembly. The tungsten alloy weight section may be axially moveable with respect to an outer tubular and when mounted within the bottom hole assembly, acts to place the outer tubular in tension to provide a stiffer bottom hole assembly. | ||||||

| A method for drilling in unconsolidated formation is taught. In particular, a method for borehole stabilization in an unconsolidated formation includes providing a drill string; rotating the drill string to drive a drill bit to drill a borehole having a borehole wall; driving the drill string against the borehole wall while rotating the drill string to plaster the surface of the borehole wall. | ||||||
| 177 | Geological sample sub | US09469183 | 1999-12-21 | US06295867B1 | 2001-10-02 | Don F. Mahaffey |
| A sturdy tubular “sub” apparatus for collecting geological samples (Geological Sample-Sub or GSS) that may be entrained within a conventional drill string apparatus for conducting a drill-stem-test. The apparatus may be manufactured from conventional drill-collar stock and may be provided threads at each end of a standardized thread size so that it may be readily exchanged with or attached to other subs comprising the drill string apparatus. The drill string apparatus with the incorporated GSS may be lowered in a closed and empty state into a drilled hole whereupon it is packed off and the apparatus may be opened. A slit-like opening in the GSS permits entry of rock samples into the tubular apparatus, whereas baffles located within the apparatus near both ends prevent the escape of the samples as fluid in the hole rushes through the open drill string assembly. | ||||||

| 179 | Variable depth grooved drill string member | US524167 | 1990-05-16 | US5040622A | 1991-08-20 | Thomas E. Winship; Edmond I. Bailey |
| An intermediate weight member (10) having a variable cross-section or bending moment of inertia as a function of member length is disclosed. At one end of the member (10) a slip and elevator section (14) is provided. A partially grooved section (16) of a diameter greater than that of the slip and elevator section extends between the slip and elevator section (24) and the other end of the member (10). The partially grooved section (16) includes two variable depth grooved sections (18, 20) separated by an ungrooved section (22). The ungrooved section (22) includes hardbanding rings (26, 28). The spiral grooves (30A, 30B, 30C) of variable depth grooved section (18, 20) vary in depth as a function of member length such that the bending moment of inertia varies as a function of length from the slip and elevator section (14) to the lower end of the member (10). Such variation changes from a constant bending moment of inertia at the slip and elevator section ( 14) to a substantially greater bending moment of inertia at the ungrooved section (22) and thence to a lower bending moment of inertia of a reduced diameter section (24) at its other end. | ||||||
| 180 | Method of molding a composite drill collar | US345914 | 1989-05-01 | US5009826A | 1991-04-23 | John H. Walker |
| A method of molding thermoplastic material into a collar for use on a drill string is disclosed. Initially a precursor is constructed by rolling a sheet of thermoplastic material, containing long reinforcement fibers, into a tubular "roll" and placing the roll in a generally cylindrical open mold so as to align longitudinal axes of the roll and the open mold. A cylindrical mold core, which mates with the open mold to form a mold cavity, has an end piece perpendicular to the cylindrical portion for closing the mold. The mold core is forced, with correct alignment, into the open mold using high pressure which closes the mold and causes the thermoplastic material, containing long reinforcement fibers, to take the required shape. The thus formed part is cooled and ejected from the mold for use as the precursor. Final steps include machining the ends of the precursor to produce the desired collar. | ||||||
