摘要:
An assembly for use in subsurface drilling includes a downhole downhole probe supported by a centralizer. The centralizer comprises a tubular member that extends around the downhole probe. A wall of the centralizer is fluted to provide inward contact points that support the downhole probe and outward contact points that bear against a bore wall of a section of drill string. The downhole probe may be supported for substantially its entire length.

A sub, downhole tool, and method for manufacturing thereof, are disclosed. The sub may include one or more flow channels, each of which may be defined in part by a longitudinal groove formed along an exterior of a collar. One or more flow channel cover may be connected to the collar. The longitudinal grooves position the flow channels further outward to provide more volume within the collar that may be used for housing one or more devices. Upper and lower blind bores are fluidly coupled to the longitudinal grooves by angled through bores to complete the flow channels. A medial bore, which may be fluidly isolated from the flow channels, may be provided to house a device, such as an instrument, detector, or circuitry.

Tools and methods for measuring resistivity are provided. The tool for measuring resistivity in a formation comprises a receiver module comprising a first electromagnetic signal receiver and a second electromagnetic signal receiver; a first electromagnetic signal transmitter removably coupled to one longitudinal end of the receiver module; a second electromagnetic signal transmitter removably coupled to the other longitudinal end of the receiver module; and each of the first and the second electromagnetic signal receivers configured to receive electromagnetic signals propagating in the formation from the first and the second electromagnetic signal transmitters.

In one embodiment, a wear band comprises a rotating element having a bore receivable on a tubular, the bore comprising first and second bore portions slidably receiving first and second sleeve bearings. Outer surfaces of the sleeve bearings slidably engage the bore portions and the bores of the sleeve bearings slidably engage the tubular. A first and a second stop collars may be received on the tubular to together straddle the rotating element and sleeve bearings to longitudinally secure the rotating element in a position on the tubular. The tubular may be included within a tubular string run into a borehole or into the bore of an installed casing, such as in casing while drilling. The rotating element provides stand-off between a tubular and the wall of a bore, reduces frictional resistance to longitudinal sliding and also to rotation of the tubular string within the bore.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of non-magnetic, strong carbide forming alloys. In particular, the alloys can be advantageously used for powder manufacturing. Embodiments of the disclosure can have low FCC-BCC transition temperatures in combination with hard particles having a hardness of 1000 Vickers or greater. The alloys can be used in conjunction with, for example, drill pipe tool joints, drill collars, down hole stabilizers, or oilfield components, particularly as a hardbanding component.
摘要:
A drill-string liner element includes at least one hardbanding layer. The hardbanding layer includes one or more strands of filler metal, each having a width between 1 and 5 millimeters and deposited in adjacent manner to form a substantially continuous layer over a zone of the element. The hardness in the thickness of the layer varies by less than 10 HRC over the zone.

摘要:
A method for using a downhole probe. The method comprises providing a probe, at least one vertical cross section of the probe having an area of at least pi inches squared. The method further comprises inserting the probe into a bore of a drill collar and passing a drilling fluid through the bore of drill collar at a flow velocity of less than 41 feet per second.
摘要:
A downhole device with compressive layer at the surface thereof. Such devices may be particularly well suited for survivability in the face of potentially long term exposure to a downhole environment. Techniques for forming protective compressive layers at the surfaces of such devices may include positioning devices within a chamber for bombardment by high frequency particles. As a manner of enhancing the compressive layer thickness and effectiveness, low temperature conditions may be applied to the device during the high frequency treatment.
