Abstract: A horizontal sampling soil drilling rig and a control method are used to solve the problem that the soil sampling device in the prior art has difficulty in horizontal sampling. The horizontal sampling soil drilling rig includes a rack, a connection assembly, a drive mechanism, a spiral drill rod, and a sampler. The rack is provided with a spline shaft and a screw rod in parallel. The screw rod and the spline shaft are connected through a first transmission assembly in transmission connection. The drive mechanism includes a rotation driver, a second transmission assembly, and a spline shaft sleeve. The spline shaft sleeve is rotationally connected to the rack, and the spline shaft sleeve and the spline shaft mesh with each other. The rotation driver is connected with the spline shaft through the second transmission assembly in transmission connection.

Abstract: A horseshoe lateral is drilled having two substantially parallel lateral sections connected with a horseshoe section. The horseshoe section may be obtained by steering a drill bit within a first plane over an in-plane angle of about 180°, and then continuing drilling along a straight path. A second lateral well system may drilled from a second borehole section, to create an additional lateral section interdigitally arranged between the previous two substantially parallel lateral sections.

Abstract: A system and method for surface steerable drilling are provided. In one example, the method includes monitoring operating parameters for drilling rig equipment and bottom hole assembly (BHA) equipment for a BHA, where the operating parameters control the drilling rig equipment and BHA equipment. The method includes receiving current inputs corresponding to performance data of the drilling rig equipment and BHA equipment during a drilling operation and determining that an amount of change between the current inputs and corresponding previously received inputs exceeds a defined threshold. The method further includes determining whether a modification to the operating parameters has occurred that would result in the amount of change exceeding the defined threshold and identifying that a problem exists in at least one of the drilling rig equipment and BA equipment if no modification has occurred to the operating parameters. The method includes performing a defined action if a problem exists.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for magnetically ranging and connecting a wellbore unto an opposing wellbore to create a continuous closed loop flow path from surface to downhole and back to surface again. The methods incorporate advanced directional drilling techniques, complex completion equipment as well as novel magnetic ranging systems which allow for the precise wellbore placement, zonal isolation and hydraulic communication required to recover geothermal energy by way of a circulated working fluid.

Abstract: A directional drill securing device and associated methods are shown. Securing devices and methods shown include a plurality of staking devices on a single lateral side of a directional drill. Using examples shown, a lower force is required to drive multiple staking devices than would be needed for a larger staking device of equivalent area.

Abstract: A microtunneling method including placing a boring machine in a starting shaft; jacking the boring machine from the starting shaft along a tunnel towards a target shaft; while electrically rotating a cutter head at a front end of the boring machine about an axis of the tunnel; and pumping a slurry that transports cuttings from the cutter head out of the tunnel, wherein a synchronous reluctance motor rotates the cutter head. To reduce environmental burden, the invention further proposes that electric energy for the boring machine for the jacking and the pumping is buffered.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method including receiving a steering command identifying a tool face orientation in which the steering command is expected to produce an intended steering response of an intended drilling trajectory. The method further includes receiving an actual steering response result of the steering command in which the actual steering response result identifies an actual drilling trajectory. The method further includes storing a dataset comparing the actual steering response result in relation to the intended steering response, determining an uncertainty level of the tool face orientation based on the stored dataset, and outputting a visual representation of steering response with the uncertainty level.

Abstract: A spindle with a mechanism for transferring axial force from an inner drive assembly to an outer drive assembly. The spindle's inner drive shaft is connected to an inner member of a dual-rod pipe by a drive rod having a sliding sleeve. The sleeve is fixed rotationally with the drive shaft, but not axially. When axial force drives the drive rod toward the drive member of the spindle, the sleeve contacts a stop member which is paired to the outer drive assembly. The stop member may be a pair of dowel pins. Axial force is thereby transferred from the inner member to the outer member, allowing such forces to be absorbed by the outer member's larger drive components.
