110 Method and apparatus for simultaneous coring and formation evaluation US732911 1996-10-17 US6006844A 1999-12-28 Luc Van Puymbroeck; John W. Harrell; Michael H. Johnson; Pierre E. Collee
A core barrel having an inner tube for coring and, alternately, a center plug assembly for closing the throat of the core bit at the bottom of the assembly for drilling in lieu of coring. The inner tube assembly and plug assembly are disposable and retrievable through the drill string on a wireline using an overshot. The core bit is of a stabilized, preferably anti-whirl, design and may be a low-invasion core bit used in cooperation with a low-invasion coring shoe. A logging tool and data transmission assembly may be incorporated in the plug assembly for logging while drilling. Alternatively, sensors for logging borehole parameters and a data transmission assembly may be incorporated in the inner tube assembly, in the wall of the core barrel, above the core barrel, or in a combination of such locations. A significant feature of the apparatus and its operation is the ability to concurrently sense one or more characteristics of the formation surrounding the core barrel in combination with the sensing of one or more such parameters of the core being cut as it proceeds into the inner tube assembly.
111 Core drilling latch assembly US144239 1998-08-31 US5992543A 1999-11-30 Frederick J. Soinski; Donald Raymond
A core drilling latch assembly for use in terrestrial core drilling operations. The latch assembly incorporates features and elements which affect the flow of drilling fluids past the latch assembly and toward the drill bit, depending upon whether the latch assembly has contacted the landing ring in the drill string and whether the latch assembly has locked in place within the string. Accordingly, the latch assembly signals the drilling crew by pressure fluctuations when the latch assembly is in proper position within the drill string, and whether it is locked in position.
