103 | PIPE CENTRALIZER AND METHOD OF ATTACHMENT | EP02729745.6 | 2002-06-13 | EP1399641A1 | 2004-03-24 | SLACK, Maurice, William |
A crimpable centralizer has been invented for installation on pipe, such as would be useful in well bore drilling and casing operations. The present invention provides a centralizer having a cylindrical body which when coaxially placed over a pipe and substantially radially inwardly displaced at a plurality of points (i.e. crimped) about the circumference of a section of the cylindrical body, attaches to the pipe to create a connection having structurally significant axial and torque load transfer capacity. When crimped according to the methods of the present invention, the load transfer capacity of the connection between the centralizer and the pipe can be arranged to substantially prevent significant relative movement of the centralizer on the pipe under loads that may be encountered when using one or more of the pipes as components of a tubular string used for drilling or completing well bores. | ||||||

115 | APPARATUS FOR FORMING A SLOT IN A WELLBORE | EP96937412.0 | 1996-11-06 | EP0800610A1 | 1997-10-15 | McGARIAN, Bruce; TULLOCH, Rory, McCrae |
A chain saw for cutting slots in a wellbore casing and the surrounding formation comprises a pair of cutting chain assemblies (37) rotatably mounted on a body and moveable from a storage position in which the axes of the cutting chain assemblies are parallel to the axis of the tool to a position at right angles to the storage position. The chains are driven by a mud motor, step-up gearbox, drive shaft (20) and bevel gear (34). The position of the chain arms is controlled by a mud operated piston (44) which is connected by rods (41A) to racks (41) which mesh with pinions provided on the arms of the chain assemblies (37). Pressurization of the drillstring upon which the tool is mounted will cause rotation of the motor to drive the cutting chains and simultaneous downward displacement of the piston (44) to bring the cutting chains into engagement with the casing. When the piston (44) has moved a sufficient distance to bring the cutting chain assemblies (37) to a position perpendicular to the axis of the tool the slot may be increased in size by upward movement of the entire tool as the chains continue to rotate. | ||||||
116 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MAKING A SLOT IN AN UNDERGROUND FORMATION | EP95929072.0 | 1995-08-01 | EP0774039A1 | 1997-05-21 | ROSS, Brent, Reynolds; WORRALL, Robert, Nicholas |
A cutting device for making a slot adjacent to a well traversing an underground formation comprises a chain saw arm (15) which carries an endless chain (24) with cutting elements (25). In use the chain (24) is rotated around the arm (15) while the arm (15) is gradually hinged from a longitudinal towards a lateral position relative to the wellbore thereby inducing the cutting elements (25) to cut a slot through the formation (2) and well casing or liner (5), if present. | ||||||

118 | Downhole tool apparatus with non-metallic slips | EP93303523.0 | 1993-05-06 | EP0570157A3 | 1994-03-09 | Streich, Steven G.; Hushbeck, Donald F.; Berscheidt, Kevin T.; Jacobi, Rick D. |
A downhole tool apparatus such as a packer or bridge plug, for use in a well bore, comprises a centre mandrel (102), a slip wedge (126) around the mandrel, separate non-metallic slips (116) around the mandrel adjacent the wedge, and means (117) for retaining the slips initially out of engagement with the well bore. The non-metallic material may include engineering grade plastics. The slips can be separate and held in place in an initial position around the slip wedge by a retainer ring, or they may be integrally formed with a fracturable ring portion which holds the slips in the initial position around the wedge. The use of non-metallic material improves the drillability of the apparatus when drilling is required to remove the apparatus from the well. |

Un dispositif anti-rotation (20) peut s'intégrer à un tampon supérieur (10) ou autre outil de forage. Le dispositif anti-rotation (20) comprend un plancher (25). Une pluralité de dents (22) sont montées sur le plancher (25) et entourées par un élément de charge (30) de forme annulaire. Les dents (22) dépassent l'anneau (30). Quand deux dispositifs anti-rotation s'avancent l'un vers l'autre, les surfaces des éléments de charge viennent en prise et absorbent les forces de compression tandis que les dents sont exemptes, ou pratiquement exemptes, de forces de compression et agissent uniquement pour empêcher toute rotation relative entre les dispositifs anti-rotation. | ||||||
