    摘要: A radial bearing apparatus including a housing with a housing bore defining a radial bearing housing surface, a shaft extending through the housing bore and defining a radial bearing shaft surface, and a radial bearing contact interface between the radial bearing housing surface and the radial bearing shaft surface for bearing a variable side force applied to the shaft. The radial bearing contact interface includes an oblique section in which the radial bearing housing surface and the radial bearing shaft surface are oblique to each other when the side force is zero and progressively increase in contact in an axial direction in response to an increasing magnitude of the side force.

    摘要: Various embodiments disclosed relate to bearing assembly for drilling a subterranean formation and methods of using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of drilling a subterranean formation. The method includes flowing a drilling fluid through a drill string disposed in the subterranean formation, with the drill string including a bottom hole assembly including a bearing assembly including a low flow bearing. The method includes flowing a first part of the drilling fluid into contact with the low flow bearing, while simultaneously flowing a second part of the drilling fluid through a bypass channel around the low flow bearing. The method also includes discharging the first and second part of the drilling fluid between the bottom hole assembly and the subterranean formation.

    摘要: A drill string for drilling a borehole. The drill string may include a downhole motor operable to rotate the drill string and a centralizer assembly. The centralizer assembly may include an outer housing, a lower sub threadably engaged with the outer housing, and a centralizer. The centralizer may include a single eccentric blade, an internal shoulder positioned between the outer housing and the lower sub, and an alignment profile to align the centralizer in an azimuthal position relative to the drill string. The centralizer may be retainable in the aligned azimuthal position by the alignment profile and the internal shoulder being engaged by the outer housing and the lower sub.

    摘要: A stabilizer device is provided for a mud motor drilling assembly. The stabilizer device may be mounted to a motor housing having one or more grooves or ridges. The stabilizer device may include a stabilizer body, a threaded portion, and a clamp. The threaded portion may be positioned between the one or more grooves or ridges and the clamp. The threaded portion may include an external surface having threads. The threads on the external surface of the threaded portion of the stabilizer device may correspond to threads on an internal surface of a clamp. The threaded coupling of the clamp to the stabilizer device may couple the stabilizer device to the motor housing at the one or more grooves or ridges.
