Abstract: A well servicing fluid includes ingredients including a GLDA salt, a crosslinker, and a viscosifying agent that is not crosslinked by the crosslinker. A well treatment method includes forming a well servicing fluid with ingredients including a GLDA salt, a viscosifying agent, and a crosslinker, the GLDA salt containing a metal cation chelated with a GLDA anion. The well servicing fluid is inserted into a well in a formation. The method includes crosslinking the viscosifying agent and attaining a first viscosity of the well servicing fluid using the crosslinker. After the attaining of the first viscosity, viscosity of the well servicing fluid in the well is decreased to a second viscosity less than the first viscosity by using the GLDA anion. The GLDA salt may be a GLDA calcium salt and the crosslinker may be a zirconium crosslinker.

Abstract: A settling rate of at least one foulant in oil-based fluids may be determining a settling rate of an oil-based fluid by stirring the fluid during a turbidimetric flocculation titration, which includes solvent dosing and obtaining transmittance measurements of the oil-based fluid. The method may further include stopping the solvent dosing at the onset of flocculation of the foulant(s), stopping the stirring when at least two or more transmittance measurements are substantially similar, and measuring the transmittance of the oil-based fluid to determine a settling rate of the foulant(s). The settling rate may be proportional to an increase in transmittance or decrease in absorbance after the stirring has stopped.

Abstract: Apparatus include a downhole tool comprising an outer member; and a probe body positioned inside the outer member; an electronics carrier positioned inside the probe body; and a lateral support system, including members cooperating to maintain a relative position of the electronics carrier with respect to the probe body, and a biasing member. The plurality of members may include an outer support ring having an axial passage therethrough for receiving the electronics carrier, the outer support ring having an inner surface; and an inner support ring within the probe body having an axial passage therethrough for receiving the electronics carrier, the inner support ring having an outer surface. The biasing member may be configured to urge a member of the plurality of members against an inner surface of the probe body by urging the outer surface of the inner support ring against the inner surface of the outer support ring.

Abstract: An earth-boring tool may include a body and at least one rotatable cutting structure assembly. The rotatable cutting structure assembly may include a leg, a rotatable cutting structure rotatably coupled to the leg, and a resistance actuator configured to impose rotational resistance on the rotatable cutting structure relative to the leg. An earth-boring to may include a plurality of rotatable cutting structure assemblies coupled to the bit body and a plurality of blades coupled to the body. A method of drilling a borehole may include rotating an earth-boring tool within the borehole, causing rotational resistance to be imposed on at least one rotatable cutting structure of the earth-boring tool, causing a blade of the earth-boring tool to be pushed into a sidewall of the borehole, and side cutting the sidewall of the borehole with the blade.

Abstract: An earth-boring drill bit is described, the bit having a bit body having a central longitudinal axis that defines an axial center of the bit body and configured at its upper extent for connection into a drill string; at least one primary fixed blade extending downwardly from the bit body and inwardly toward, but not proximate to, the central axis of the drill bit; at least one secondary fixed blade extending radially outward from proximate the central axis of the drill bit; a plurality of fixed cutting elements secured to the primary and secondary fixed blades; at least one bit leg secured to the bit body; and a rolling cutter mounted for rotation on the bit leg; wherein the fixed cutting elements on at least one fixed blade extend from a center of the bit outward toward a gage region of the bit but do not include a gage cutting region, and wherein at least one roller-cone cutter portion extends from substantially the drill bit's gage region inwardly toward the center of the bit, an apex of the roller-cone cutter being proximate to the terminal end of the at least one secondary fixed blade, but does not extend to the center of the bit.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and products for estimating at least one parameter of interest of a volume of interest of an earth formation using nuclear radiation based measurements. Logging tools include a limited aperture collimated radiation beam source, detectors, and at least one processor configured to take measurements. The source is configured to emit a beam of radiation radially from the logging tool into an elongated volume of interest outside the wellbore such that the beam penetrates a plurality of zones of the volume of interest. Each zone represents a range of radial depths corresponding to a respective infrastructure component associated with the wellbore, such as nested tubulars. Each detector has a unique angle of detection and is configured to generate measurement information in response to spatially coherent backscattered gamma rays. Each detector is associated with scattering events at one of the plurality of zones.

Abstract: An adjustable inflow control device features a mechanically rotatable sleeve that advances or retreats axially when rotated in opposed directions to cover or uncover a labyrinth flow path from an inlet to an outlet. When used for inflow the outlet is into a tubular string to a surface location. The more the sleeve is retracted away from the labyrinth path the less resistance to flow is offered and vice versa. Another way to mechanically alter the flow resistance is to have an outer housing with a spiral groove and an axially movable inner mandrel with another spiral groove. The mandrel can be axially advanced with rotation when connected with a thread. Advancing the mandrel so that there is more overlap between the spiral patterns increases resistance to a give flow rate and vice versa. A gap between the mandrel and housing allows the mandrel to rotate and translate.

Abstract: An earth boring bit has a bit body with a depending bearing pin, a cone rotatably mounted on the bearing pin, a seal gland between the cone and the bearing pin, and a seal assembly located in the seal gland. The seal assembly includes an annular metallic spring encircling the bearing pin. The spring has a geometric center line that extends in a circle around the bearing pin. The spring is elastically deformable in radial directions relative to the center line. An elastomeric layer is located on an exterior side of the spring and is biased by the spring against a surface of the seal gland.
