A method for reducing noise at a wellsite includes transmitting a plurality of first signals from a variable frequency drive (VFD) to an alternating current (AC) induction motor. A timing of a plurality of second signals is varied to control transistors in an inverter of the VFD, thereby reducing harmonic distortion of the first signals output from the VFD. The timing is varied based at least partially upon an estimation of the harmonic distortion.

Methods and systems for investigating a formation surrounding a wellbore. The methods involve a semblance-based analysis of downhole data, for example low frequency downhole data. The semblance-based analysis includes group semblance mapping of the data, followed by single shot semblance map handling, followed by multiple shot data handling. The systems include a seismic source, a seismic receiver, and an electronics system for processing data according to a process including: group semblance mapping, single shot map handling, and multiple shot data handling. The seismic source may generate low frequency signals, and the seismic receiver may be two or more receiver subsystems that include at least two axially spaced-apart hydrophones and at least one multi-component geophone.

Methods and systems for acquiring data in a wellbore. The method includes deploying an instrument connected to an instrument line into a drill string, through a sealed entry port formed in a drilling device coupled to the drill string, the drill string being at least partially within the wellbore, the wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The method also includes transmitting a signal from a source and through the formation. The signal is sensed by the instrument in the drill string. The method further includes determining one or more formation characteristics based on the signal sensed by the instrument, and performing one or more drilling processes using the drill string, while transmitting the signal, determining the one or more formation characteristics, or both.

Apparatus and methods for drilling a wellbore. The apparatus includes a housing defining an entry port, and a shaft coupled to the housing and configured to connect to a drill string deployed into the wellbore. The entry port communicates with the drill string via an interior of the shaft, when the shaft is connected to the drill string. The apparatus further includes a sealing device coupled to the housing. The sealing device has a first configuration in which the sealing device is configured to seal with an instrument line received through the entry port, and a second configuration in which the sealing device is configured to seal the entry port.

A drilling system and method for deploying an instrument in a drill string in a wellbore. The method includes receiving an active instrument line through a drilling device and into the drill string, the active instrument line being connected to the instrument via a shallow connection, the instrument and the shallow connection being in the drill string. The method also includes lowering the active instrument line until a lower connection thereof reaches a predetermined depth, disconnecting the active instrument line from the shallow connection at the predetermined depth, and removing the active instrument line from the drill string, while the instrument remains in the drill string. The method further includes connecting a first interconnected line to the shallow connection in the drill string and to the active instrument line, and lowering the active instrument line, the first interconnected line, and the instrument in the drill string.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling drilling of a wellbore. The method may include supporting a tubular string using a top drive connected to a block, and lowering the top drive by lowering the block. The method may also include adjusting a position of the tubular string relative to the block using an actuator coupled with the top drive, the block, or both.

Downhole seismic receiver systems that may be compatible with measurement-while-drilling systems. The downhole seismic receiver systems may be integrated into drill-string components, including drill collars of a bottom hole assembly. The downhole seismic receiver systems include one or more receiver subsystems which in turn include at least two or more same-type seismic sensors. The downhole seismic receiver systems are compatible with low frequency seismic sources and may be useful in determining orientation and location of bed boundaries around a wellbore and ahead of a drill-bit. The downhole seismic receiver systems can be operated with a downhole or surface source. Methods for downhole seismic, including single well and cross-well seismic. The methods may include analyzing data acquired by the receiver systems to obtain seismic information around the wellbore and ahead of the drill bit.
