    摘要: An along string measurement tool may include an elongate body configured for loading into a drill string and a sensor array arranged on the body. The sensor array may include a first sensor arranged at a first sensor location on the body and the first sensor may be oriented relative to the body and configured for sensing annular pressures in a wellbore. The sensor array may include a second sensor arranged at a second sensor location on the body and the second sensor location may be spaced longitudinally along the body from the first sensor location by a first distance. The second sensor may be oriented relative to the body and configured for sensing annular pressures in a wellbore.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to shaker adjustments based on sensor measurements for sensors positioned at different locations about the shaker. This disclosure explains techniques to adjust a shale shaker as would be used to separate particulates (cuttings and other solids) from drilling fluid (commonly referred to as “mud”) during a drilling operation. Empirical models have been formulated to provide for programming a controller to calculate run-time adjustments to the shaker to increase efficiency. The controller may control one or more shakers concurrently. Different techniques and measurement types may be used concurrently to achieve desired shaker inclination and maintain a proper beach location during operation. Sensors include accelerometers, proximity sensors, and other types of data acquisition devices that may be used to detect motion parameters of an operational (e.g., in-use and running) shaker.

    摘要: A quick connect pipe connection for drill pipe may include a box end having an annular end surface that gives way internally to a receiving portion and externally to an engagement portion. The connection may also include a pin end configured for rotationally and longitudinally engaging the box end. The pin end may include a tapered portion configured for longitudinal insertion into the receiving portion and resisting relative rotation between the box end and the pin end. The pin end may also include a collar configured for sleeving over the engagement portion of the box end and resisting relative longitudinal motion between the box end and the pin end.
