    摘要: Various embodiments are directed to a method of switching horizontal directional drilling procedures during bore path turning. Such methods can include identifying a hierarchal arrangement of a plurality of different boring procedures utilizing different boring techniques, the hierarchy arrangement representing boring procedures of increasing ability to bore through harder soil while changing a trajectory of a boring tool. Such methods can further include boring a first leg of a curved bore path using a boring tool connected to a drill rig by a drill string, the first leg being bored using a first boring procedure of the plurality of different boring procedures. Such methods can further include monitoring a plurality of boring parameters during boring of the first leg, the plurality of boring parameters comprising: torsional pressure of the drill string, rotational travel of the drill string, hydraulic pressure, and axial displacement. Such methods can further include switching from boring the first leg of the curved bore path using the first boring procedure to boring a second leg using a second boring procedure of the plurality of boring procedures, the switch based on one or more of the boring parameters deviating past a threshold.

    摘要: An improved method of drilling a substantially lateral section of a wellbore is provided. A first segment of a drilling string with a bottom hole assembly is extended into a wellbore. At determined intervals of the drilling string, a plurality of friction reduction segments are connected as the wellbore is drilled and the drilling string is extended into the wellbore. The friction reduction segments comprise a friction reduction tool and corresponding activation tool for activating the friction reduction tool. The activation tool selectively diverts drilling fluid into a motor powering the friction reduction tool or away from the motor, and can be a ball catch assembly that is activated when a suitably sized projectile is seated in the assembly. Multiple friction reduction segments can be connected to the drilling string and one or more of the plurality of segments can be activated.

    摘要: The invention relates to a drill string element for installing in a drill string, in particular for horizontal or slant directional drilling (HDD or SDD), for creating a borehole (100) along a drilling route, in particular for laying a pipeline, comprising a tubular main body (11) having connecting elements (13, 15) at both ends for connecting the drill string element (10) to the drill string, wherein the drill string element (10) has an interior (22), through which a flushing medium for flushing the borehole (100) and transporting away cuttings loosened by a drill head connected to the drill string can be transported, having at least one opening (23) in a wall (16) of the main body (11), which opening is connected to the interior (22) and through which opening at least part of the flushing medium flowing through the interior enters an annular space (102) between the borehole wall (103) and the main body (11), characterized in that at least one body (17) is arranged on the outer wall (16) over the opening (23), in which at least one body a flow channel (24) is at least partially arranged, that the flow channel (24) has at least one flow path and is fluidically connected to the opening (23) by means of an inlet opening (25), that the flow channel (24) has at least one outlet opening (28) on the side of the flow channel (24) facing away from the opening (23), and that the clear cross-section of the opening (23) and/or inlet opening (25) is smaller or larger than the clear cross-section of the outlet opening (28).
