61 DOWNHOLE DEPTH MEASUREMENT USING TILTED RIBS EP15748507.9 2015-02-11 EP3105416A1 2016-12-21 FORSTNER, Ingo; HERBIG, Christian
A system, method and apparatus for using a tool in a borehole is disclosed. The tool is disposed in the borehole. The tool includes a member rotatable substantially independently of the tool. The member is slidably coupled to a wall of the borehole. The tool is conveyed through the borehole to produce a rotation of the member as a result of the slidable coupling between the member and the wall of the borehole. A parameter of axial motion is determined from an angle of rotation of the member.
62 CLOSED LOOP CONTROL OF DRILLING TOOLFACE EP14774096 2014-03-19 EP2978932A4 2016-12-21 HORNBLOWER PETER; BOGATH CHRISTOPHER C; BOWLER ADAM; SUGIURA JUNICHI
A downhole closed loop method for controlling a drilling toolface includes measuring first and second attitudes of the subterranean borehole at corresponding first and second upper and lower survey stations. The first and second attitudes are processed downhole while drilling to compute an angle change of the subterranean borehole between the upper and lower survey stations. The computed angle change is compared with a predetermined threshold. This process may be continuously repeated while the angle change is less than the threshold. The first and second attitudes are further processed downhole to compute a toolface angle when the angle change of the subterranean borehole is greater than or equal to the threshold. The toolface angle may then be further processed to control a direction of drilling of the subterranean borehole.

76 METHODE ET DISPOSITIF POUR MESURER LA VITESSE D'AVANCEMENT D'UN EQUIPEMENT PROGRESSANT DANS UN PUITS EP92902124.4 1991-12-11 EP0515652B1 1996-04-17 FAY, Hubert; CLOT, Jean
The method involves using signal emission means (5) and at least two reception units (8, 10) at two different locations along the well equipment (2). Each unit produces an image or signature of the well portions passing it. The images produced by the unit (8) in the lowest position when the equipment (2) is descending are stored for the necessary time period so that, when the equipment has penetrated further, the other unit (10) receives signals from the same portion of wall and also produces an image. By comparing (e.g. by correlation) images from each of the two units, it is possible to identify the common portion of the wall which has produced the two images being compared. The time period between the formation of the two matched images is measured, and the rate of penetration calculated. The invention may be applied to measuring the true rate of penetration of a well tool or measuring probe.

80 System and method for monitoring drill bit depth EP90202463.7 1990-09-18 EP0422706A2 1991-04-17 Casso, Christopher; Normore, Andrew Derek; Slagel, Peter Shieffield

Methods and apparatus for accurately determining drill bit depth are provided. A hook load is sampled at a rate of at least 4 Hz and is compared to a load threshold to establish a slips-in condition. A determination is made retroactively that the drill string stopped moving when the hook load passed through a high dynamic threshold. On the slips-out procedure, the identical high threshold is used, with movement established when the hook load exceeds the high threshold. The high dynamic threshold corresponds to the points at which the drill string actually stops and starts moving in the slips-in and slips-out procedures. The apparatus provided is a drawworks encoder mounting assembly which retrofits an auxiliary brake section of the drawworks or the rotary seal air coupler of a drawworks clutch. A split ring gear fits around and is secured to the rotating cylinder of the rotary seal air coupler. The split ring gear is part of a pulley having another gear and a drive belt, such that rotation of the drum and rotorseal air coupler cylinder is translated to a shaft of an encoder coupled to the second gear. The encoder thereby tracks the rotational movement of the drawworks drum. At desired times, also provided is a second encoder which is part of a calibrator which, via a calibrator wire, precisely measures the location of the travelling block relative to a known vertical location. The first and second encoder readings are compared continuously and are used to provide excellent calibrations between the drum rotation and the travelling block movement.
