245 Closed loop control system for diamond core drilling US09209821 1998-10-22 US06186248B1 2001-02-13 Louis E. Silay; Raymond B. McKinley
A closed loop control system for a core drilling mechanism automatically controls the penetration rate, the weight on the drill bit, and the torque load applied to the drill string, and maintains all three at or below preselected maximum values. The closed loop control system incorporates a controller that receives sensed information and generates corresponding control signals to control the penetration rate and thus the weight on the drill bit and the torque load through a servo valve in a hydraulic drive circuit. One or more sensors are provided to sense the penetration rate of the drill bit, and are coupled with the controller. Similarly, sensors are provided to determine the weight on the drill bit and the torque load applied to the drill string.

253 Method and a drilling rig for drilling a bore well US79769 1987-07-07 US4850439A 1989-07-25 Thomas A. Lund
Drilling equipment, especially for offshore use, comprises a drill floor or platform (11) with a derrick (10) extending upwards therefrom. A first hoist (12) connected to the upper part of the derrick is used for passing a length of a tubular body (19), such as a drill string or a well casing, through a drilling opening (18) defined in and extending through the drill floor. The tubular length is connected to or disconnected from the drill string or well casing during the drilling operation, and such tubular lengths are strored in a storage area (31, 32) of the drill floor. The tubular lengths may be transported from the storage area to the first hoist (12) and vice versa by means of first transporting means (22). The drill floor or platform (11) also defines a preparation opening (21) extending therethrough at a location spaced from the drilling opening and from the storage area, and a second hoist or a preparation hoist (20) is connected to the upper part of the derrick above the preparation opening. Two or more tubular sections may then be assembled to tubular lengths at the preparation opening by means of the preparation hoist while the drilling operation is going on at the drilling opening, and the prepared lengths may be transported to and stored in the storage area ready for use at the drilling opening. Similarly, tubular lengths may be disassembled into tubular sections at the preparation opening before they are to be transported from the drilling site. The possibility of assembling and disassembling tubular lengths form tubular sections at the preparation opening while the drilling operation is going on at the drilling opening substantially reduces the necessary idle time in drilling operations.
254 Drill magazine US110847 1987-10-21 US4834195A 1989-05-30 Allen C. Robinson
An improved drill rod magazine for storing and moving them sequentially into a dispensing position is comprised of a pair of spaced arms each with an open jaw in which the drill rods are positioned in parellel, side by side relationship. The arms are moveable from a storing position into at least two dispensing positions, in a first of which one of the rods in the jaws is aligned with the hammer of the drilling machine and in the second of which another rod (the adjacent rod) is aligned with the hammer. Each of the jaws is provided with a clamp to clamp the rods contained therein to prevent rotation of each rod for threading of the hammer into an adjacent coupling on the rod. The rod is released for rotation while retaining same within the jaws so that the rod coupled to the hammer may be rotated and advanced by the hammer to thread same into an aligned coupling, after which the arms are retracted to their storage position. For uncoupling the procedure is reversed.
255 Active counterbalance for a power swivel during well drilling US163580 1988-03-03 US4813498A 1989-03-21 James E. Lynch; David B. Ford
An active counterbalance for suspending a power swivel from a traveling block. The power swivel includes a motor drive assembly for rotating a drill string and a handling system for supporting a drill pipe. The counterbalance includes a motor which provides means for biasing the load capacity of the counterbalance when supporting the power swivel to allow vertical displacement of the power swivel relative to the traveling block. The counterbalance prevents damage to connecting or sealing surfaces when adding pipe to or removing pipe from the drill string because most of the weight of the power swivel and pipe suspending from the handling system is transferred to the counterbalance.
256 Hydraulic top drive for wells US38877 1987-04-14 US4813493A 1989-03-21 Danial G. Shaw; Billy MacCline

A shut off valve to shut off well fluid and a link adapter can be located between the lower end of the hollow drive stem and the upper end of the drill string. The vertical axis of the drive stem can be aligned coaxially with the vertical axis of the wellbore and with the vertical axis of the drill string. The top drive can be mounted to a wheeled support frame contained within two elongated members mounted in a derrick. Pivotably mounted to the support frame is a manipulator arm adapted on one end to grasp and support a tubular member and pivotable in a horizontal plane. Also mounted to the support frame is a pipe wrenching device which is extendable toward or retractable from a position coinciding with the well centerline.
