Abstract: A method for actuation of a downhole device includes rotating a drill pipe relative to a cylindrical pipe disposed coaxially within the drill pipe. First segments including a first material are disposed on the inner surface of the drill pipe. Second segments including a degradable material are disposed on the outer surface of the cylindrical pipe, with each of the second segments aligned with a corresponding first segment. The first material and the degradable material are insoluble in the downhole fluid, and a solubility of the degradable material in a solvent is greater than a solubility of the first material in the solvent. The method includes generating a first electrical signal pattern during rotation of the drill pipe; introducing the solvent into the drill pipe, in which the degradable material degrades responsive to introduction of the solvent; and generating a second electrical signal pattern after introduction of the solvent.

Abstract: A method for plugging a lost-circulation zone in a subsurface formation includes introducing a drillstem including a drilling stabilizer into a wellbore during drilling operations, the drilling stabilizer including at least stabilizer blades and a pressure sensor. Each stabilizer blade includes at least an inner chamber, a light source, and a window. The method further includes injecting a lost-circulation fluid, including a plurality of lost-circulation particles, into the wellbore. Each lost-circulation particle includes a lost-circulation additive encapsulated by a photo-sensitive coating. The method further includes measuring a pressure differential with the pressure sensor and providing a pressure signal to the light source of each stabilizer blade, thereby actuating the light source to produce a light beam, which allows the light beam to contact the photo-sensitive coatings of the lost-circulation particles to release the lost-circulation additives. The method further includes allowing the lost-circulation fluid to plug the lost-circulation zone.

Abstract: A system including one or more hardware processors for automatic evaluation of a cutting element in a wear testing device. The system includes an access module to access cutting element event analysis results from a sensor array. The system further includes a first model trained to classify a cutting element event of the cutting element according to a supervised machine learning algorithm, and output a predicted event type of the cutting element event. The system further includes a second model trained to classify a cutting element event of the cutting element according to an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, and output a predicted behavior of the cutting element event. The system further includes a controller to determine a toughness and a wear resistance of the cutting element. The system also includes an output module to generate and display a work order on a user interface of a client device.

Abstract: A method includes creating a chamber within an annulus between a wellbore casing and a drillpipe. An upper boundary of the chamber includes a seal and a lower boundary of the chamber includes a liquid surface and determining a volume of the chamber at a first time. The method further includes determining the volume of the chamber includes measuring, using a pressure gauge, a first pressure within the chamber, changing an amount of a gas in the chamber, and measuring, using the pressure gauge, a second pressure within the chamber. The method further includes determining a first volume of gas within the chamber based on the first and second pressure measurements and the change in the amount of gas, and determining a first fluid level based on the first volume of the chamber.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a drill bit is described. The method includes forming a mold with interior surfaces defining a mold cavity within the mold, the mold cavity having a shape corresponding to a shape of a body of the drill bit; forming catalyst-free synthesized polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutting elements using an ultra-high pressure and temperature process; determining positions of the catalyst-free synthesized PDC cutting elements within the mold cavity; placing the catalyst-free synthesized PDC cutting elements at the determined positions within the mold cavity; filling the mold cavity with matrix materials of the body of the drill bit; and bonding the catalyst-free synthesized PDC cutting elements with the matrix materials of the body to form an impregnated drill bit.
