Abstract: A method detects at least one phase of multiphase borehole fluids within a borehole. The method has a step of providing coiled tubing connected to a top end of a bottom hole assembly having a sensor configured to detect a property associated with the multiphase borehole fluids. Further, the method has a step of positioning the sensor adjacent to a first phase of the multiphase borehole fluids by rotating the bottom hole assembly or a portion of the bottom hole assembly. Moreover, the method has the steps of detecting a first measurement with the sensor as the sensor rotates and determining a fractional amount of at least one phase of the multiphase borehole fluids.

Abstract: Compositions of lost circulation materials are provided that are useful for identifying the location of fluid loss in a wellbore. The compositions include additives which enhance a property of the composition such that they can be detected by an LWD or MWD tool capable of measuring the property when the composition is deployed in a region of loss, and can be distinguished by the LWD or MWD tool from the formation and mud fluid. Methods are also provided for using the composition to detect the location of fluid loss and for controlling the loss of fluid from the wellbore. The methods involve deploying the compositions in loss regions by adding the compositions to drilling mud, and measuring a property of the compositions using an LWD or MWD tool.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a retrievable downhole component within a drill collar of a downhole drilling tool deployed from a rig into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation is provided. The apparatus includes a sleeve that is positionable about the downhole component and is within said drill collar. The sleeve is adapted to limit the lateral movement of the downhole component. The sleeve is formed of a series of fins or is lined with an energy absorbing material which protects the downhold component from shock and vibration while at the same time, allowing the component to be retrieved should the drill string become stuck in the borehole.

Abstract: A wellbore formation sample acquisition and analysis instrument includes an annular drill bit configured to couple to one end of a drill string. The bit defines a passageway extending from a cutting face thereof to an exterior surface at a longitudinally spaced apart position from the cutting face. The instrument includes at least one sensor configured to measure a selected parameter of a sample of subsurface formation urged into the passageway by action of the cutting face against subsurface formations. Samples of the subsurface formations are ejected from the exterior surface end of the passageway by the samples entering the cutting face end thereof.
