    摘要: A system for acquiring directional information about a geologic formation includes at least one directionally sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assembly disposed at a borehole string including the downhole component. The at least one NMR assembly includes at least one magnet configured to generate a static magnetic field and at least one coil configured to generate an oscillating magnetic field, the at least one NMR assembly configured to perform an NMR measurement of at least one sector of a formation region. The system also includes a processing device configured to receive NMR measurement data from the at least one NMR assembly. The processing device is configured to analyze the NMR measurement data to estimate a parameter of the sector, determine a direction of the downhole component based on the estimated parameter; and steer the downhole component according to the determined direction.

    摘要: A control valve assembly includes a body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A portion of the body is formed from a first magnetic material. A sleeve is slidingly mounted to the body. At least a portion of the sleeve is formed from a second magnetic material. A magnetic circuit having a gap is defined within the control valve assembly. A solenoid is mounted to the body about at least a portion of the first magnetic material of the body. The solenoid is selectively activated to create a magnetic field across the gap in the magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit causes the sleeve to slide, narrowing the gap and sliding from the first position to the second position to produce a pressure pulse in the wellbore, wherein the biasing member biases the sleeve back to the first position.

    摘要: Methods and systems for controlling drilling operations are provided. The methods and systems include conveying a drilling tool into a bore and operating the drilling tool to drill in a direction, creating, with an azimuthal sensing device, a first signal at a first time and a second signal at a second time, wherein each of the first signal and the second signal are indicative of the direction of the drilling tool, and each of the first signal and the second signal are affected by at least one of an unknown but substantially constant offset error or an unknown but substantially constant scale factor error, comparing the first signal with the second signal, and adjusting the drilling direction based on the comparison of the first signal with the second signal.

    摘要: Downhole component support systems and methods including a housing having a housing cavity therein, the housing cavity configured to contain a hydraulic frame and a hydraulic frame configured to support at least one component package removably disposed within the housing cavity. At least one master hydraulic assembly is in hydraulic communication with the hydraulic frame and at least one slave hydraulic assembly is coupled to the hydraulic frame and hydraulically coupled to the at least one master hydraulic assembly. Adjustment of the at least one master hydraulic assembly urges the at least one slave hydraulic assembly between a first position and a second position, and, when in the second position, the hydraulic frame is secured to an interior surface of the housing.

    摘要: A mufti-channel coil array for use as a transceiver in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a plurality of radio frequency (RF) coils disposed next to one another, devices for electromagnetically decoupling the RF coils and coil elements which are applied onto a planar carrier element (5). The carrier elements (5) have a regular, equilateral polygonal outer contour and the shape of the individual coils (2) corresponds to the outer contour of the carrier element (5). An individual coil (2) has a loop-shaped structure (1), which leads to a decoupling of individual coils (2) not immediately adjacent to each other when a plurality of individual elements are arranged. The space requirement for adding new coils is reduced, and the modular design makes it possible to easily implement any three-dimensional or two-dimensional shape.

    摘要: An anchoring system for use with a downhole tool includes a body with anchor members mounted on the body that pivot radially outward from the body and into engagement with an inner surface of a tubular. Curved slots are provided along a portion of the members and a sliding block has a protrusion that projects into the slots. The slots are curved so that when the block is urged axially within the body, the interaction between the slots and protrusions pivots the members radially outward. A piston is urged through the body to drive the block. Optionally, an elongate helical gear may cooperate with grooves formed in an edge of the members so that rotating the gear pivots the members radially outward.

    摘要: A MWD/LWD hard line communication system and method includes for the system a cartridge capable of deploying wire in a borehole, a screen attachable to the cartridge and positionally retainable in the borehole, and a communications connector operably associable with the cartridge; and for the method, deploying hardline from a cartridge, attaching the cartridge to a screen, and attaching the cartridge to a communications connector. Another method includes pumping fluid downhole, urging a wire nest into a screen, and compacting the nest into the screen with the fluid until the fluid is pumpable past the nest through an unobstructed portion of the screen.
