Calculating wellbore energy. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: calculating an expected wellbore energy for a planned wellpath, the calculating by a computer system; calculating an expected tortuosity of the planned wellpath; calculating a first value indicative of probability of occurrence of a drilling event for drilling along the planned wellpath, the first value based on the expected wellbore energy and the expected tortuosity; and then drilling a wellbore along at least a first portion of the planned wellpath if the first value indicates the probability of the drilling event is less than a predetermined threshold.

A method and system for improving cuttings measurements in drilling operations includes rotating a helical screw in a trough at a first speed, measuring a first weight of a cuttings mixture within the trough, measuring a first torque required to maintain rotation of the helical screw at the first speed through the cuttings mixture, and calculating a difference between the first torque and a second torque required to maintain rotation of the helical screw at the first speed through a second weight of natural cuttings equal to the first weight.

Measurement of petrophysical and geophysical data of formations in a wellbore using a long gauge bit having at least one sensor therewith. The at least one sensor may be installed in at least one flute of the long gauge bit and/or in the long gauge portion thereof. Data for creating images of the formations are obtained at or near the bottom of the borehole and proximate to the long gauge bit used for drilling the borehole. Orientation of the long gauge bit is also available on a real time basis. Magnetic and/or gravitational sensors may be used in determining bit orientation. The flutes of the long gauge bit and the long gauge portion thereof may have standard inserts to accommodate various types of different sensors and electronic packages therefor.

Aspects of this invention include a rotary steerable storing tool having a sensor arrangement for measuring downhole dynamic conditions. Rotary steerable tools in accordance with this invention include a rotation rate measurement device disposed to measure a difference in rotation rates between a drive shaft and an outer, substantially non-rotating housing. A coutroller is configured to determine a stick/slip parameter from the rotation rate measurements. Exemplary embodiments may also optionally include u tri-axial accelerometer arrangement deployed in the housing for measuring lateral vibrations and bit bounce. Downhole measurement of stick/slip and other vibration components during drilling advantageously enables corrective measures to be implemented when dangerous dynamic conditions are encountered.
摘要:
Electrodes (2) are provided in a drill bit (1), or alternatively, in a coring bit, to measure variations in formation resistivity (R) surrounding an earth borehole. Three orthogonal accelerometers (4A, 4B, 4C) are also provided in the drill bit (1), or in the coring bit, to monitor the dynamic behavior of the bit (1) as functions of radial, axial and tangential accelerations.
