    摘要: Disclosed is a device and method and/or system for generating pulses to improve drilling rates, the ability to drill straighter and farther or fracturing or injection efficiencies in a geological formation that may contain desirable hydrocarbons. This system may also be used in other types of drilling or fracturing operations, whether to unclog arteries or to open formations for underground storage in conjunction with pulsing/fracturing. Alternately, this system could be used to create large pulses downhole for seismic purposes in that they are of such magnitude that they could be readily received in nearby wells or several of uphole locations. The system and method comprises several pulse generating devices longitudinally and axially positioned within an annular drill collar flow channel or PIM such that the PFD medium flows through the annular drill collar flow channel and the PFD medium is guided into one or more sets of selectively reversible flow, upper and lower flow connecting channels, wherein the connecting channels are connected to an inner flow channel and the annular drill collar flow channel, and wherein the annular drill collar flow channel is acted upon by one or more flow throttling devices. In one of the devices listed, the device utilizes one or more turbines residing near and within proximity of a flow diverter that diverts drilling mud into and away from turbine blades such that the force of the PFD medium causes the turbine blades and the turbine to rotationally spin around a coil assembly for power.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the vertical seismic profiling (VSP) of geological formations in which profiling is used to obtain information for performing precise interpretations of geophysical seismic data and better understanding of geophysical information. The disclosure involves using a sound source for generating primary and secondary seismic pulses within well boreholes. The seismic profiling system obtains information regarding a geological formation traversed by a borehole with controllable downhole seismic pulse generators with drill string tool(s). The tool(s) have contact with and are coupled to the formation. A seismic pulsing device (SPD) is attached to a portion of the drill string and a valve controller is used to control opening and closing the valve causing high amplitude short duration ultra wide band pressure pulses, generating primary seismic waves sent into surrounding geological formations. This generates secondary seismic waves received that can be detected by geophones or similar devices.

    摘要: Disclosed is a device, method and system for a measurement while producing (MWP) and flow throttling (FTD) device for placement in a pipe with liquid or gas flowing through it such as an oil or gas well's wellhead, casing, tubing, or horizontal or lateral passage which is responsive to the flow of fluid through it. The MWP/FTD device can create pressure pulses through the production fluid or otherwise send signals to provide bit data that are read and analyzed at the wellhead or externally thru wireless communications. The data analysis provides information regarding pressure, fluid flow, and type of fluid/gas flowing primarily within the lateral passages or generally anywhere the MWP/FTD is situated. The device helps identify whether the pipe, lateral or other passage should remain open, closed or restricted. This identification occurs by use of either autonomous control and sensors within the device and/or pre-programmed or wirelessly controlled signals that are transmitted from the well head (or externally) to the MWP/FTD. The MWP/FTD is subsequently urged to regulate the fluid/gas flow.
