Abstract: An assembly for use to cement an uncased wellbore and create a sidetrack of a wellbore with a single trip into the wellbore. The assembly includes a mill selectively connected to a whipstock. A snorkel tube is positioned within a bore of the mill and within a bore of the whipstock. The assembly is connected to drill string and positioned within an openhole portion of the wellbore. After the assembly has been anchored, cement may be pumped down the drill string and through the snorkel tube. The mill may be removed from the whipstock by shearing a shearable device connecting the mill to the whipstock. The mill is used engage a diverting surface on the whipstock and create a sidetrack. The mill may also mill a portion of the snorkel tube or the snorkel tube may be removed from wellbore up the drill string prior to milling the sidetrack.

Abstract: Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) may be used to removing carbonyl sulfide (COS) from a process stream containing it. The method involves contacting the process stream with an amount of effective of NaBH4 to react with the COS to form reaction products that may be removed by a process of washing away the reaction product by an aqueous basic compound and/or the reaction product having a higher boiling point than carbonyl sulfide which permits trapping the reaction product, such as in a caustic tower.

Abstract: Earth-boring tools may include a body and a passively adjustable, aggressiveness-modifying member secured to the body. The passively adjustable, aggressiveness-modifying member may be movable between a first position in which the earth-boring tool exhibits a first aggressiveness and a second position in which the earth-boring tool exhibits a second, different aggressiveness responsive to forces acting on the passively adjustable, aggressiveness-modifying member.

Abstract: A self-adjusting earth-boring tool includes a body carrying cutting elements and an actuation device disposed at least partially within the body. The actuation device may include a first fluid chamber, a second fluid chamber, a first reciprocating member, and a second reciprocating member. The first and second reciprocating members may divide portions of the first fluid chamber from portions of the second fluid chamber. A connection member may be attached to both of the first and second reciprocating members and may have a drilling element removably coupled thereto. A first fluid flow path may extend from the second fluid chamber to the first fluid chamber. A second fluid flow path may extend from the first fluid chamber to the second fluid chamber.

Abstract: A cutting element comprises a cutting table of a polycrystalline hard material including a cutting face, a sidewall, and at least one peripheral cutting edge portion between the cutting face and the sidewall. A radius of curvature of the peripheral cutting edge portion is greater than a radius of curvature of at least another peripheral edge portion between the cutting face and the sidewall. An earth-boring tool may include one or more such cutting elements.

Abstract: A downhole system for use in a wellbore in a subterranean formation includes an electromechanical motor or generator. The electromechanical motor or generator may, respectively, be configured convert electricity to mechanical energy or convert mechanical energy in the form of fluid flow for use in one or more downhole tools. The electromechanical motor or generator includes one of a rotor and a stator disposed concentrically around and operatively coupled to the other of the rotor and the stator. A sleeve is disposed concentrically between the rotor and the stator. The sleeve contacts a body to enclose and hermetically seal one of the rotor and the stator therein. The sleeve comprises at least one metal portion and at least one non-magnetic and non-conductive portion. Related methods involve the formation of such a motor or generator.

Abstract: A flowmeter for use in a borehole that includes a transmitter and receivers spaced axially away from the transmitter. Energizing the transmitter creates electrical field lines that extend between the transmitter and the receivers, and that pass through fluid flowing past the flowmeter. The magnitude of the electrical field lines at each of the receivers is measured, and varies in response to different types of fluid flowing past the flowmeter, and changes in phase of the fluid. Example transmitters and receivers include coils and electrodes. The transmitters and receivers can define elongate arrays, where the arrays are arranged parallel to, oblique, or perpendicular to an axis of the borehole. Multiple array orientations provide a radial cross sectional image of the flowing fluid. Thus not only can multi-phase flow be detected, but the type of flow regime can be identified.
