摘要： A directional tool and method of surveying a wellbore with the directional tool in a borehole string. A first sensor of the directional tool is disposed in a non-homogeneous ambient magnetic field. A first applied magnetic field is applied to the first sensor. A first measurement is obtained at the first sensor while the first sensor is disposed within the non-homogeneous ambient magnetic field and with the first applied magnetic field applied. A second applied magnetic field is applied to the first sensor. A second measurement is obtained at the first sensor while the first sensor is disposed within the non-homogeneous ambient magnetic field and with the second applied magnetic field applied. The directional tool is calibrated based on the first and second measurement. A downhole survey measurement is obtained with the calibrated directional tool in the wellbore.

A sacrificial electrical sensor element is arranged in or on the string. The sacrificial electrical sensor element includes magnetic material at least partially exposed to the fluid and at least one coil arranged in magnetic communication with the magnetic material. A controller is configured to provide an electrical current into the coil, measure an electrical property of the coil that is based on the magnetic material in magnetic communication with the coil, and determine a wear state of the downhole tool based on the measured electrical property.

摘要： A method, system and drilling apparatus for directional drilling are disclosed. A drill bit is located at a downhole end of a drill string in a borehole. A length of the borehole between a surface location and the drill bit at the downhole end of a drill string is determined and an azimuth angle and inclination of the drill bit is obtained. The length of the borehole may be determined by recording an arrival time at a downhole location of an acoustic pulse travelling from a surface location to the downhole location and determines the travel time and borehole length therefrom. A downhole processor determines a position and orientation of the drill bit from the determined length, azimuth angle and inclination and alters a steering parameter of the drill bit using the determined position and orientation of the drill bit to obtain a selected trajectory for drilling the borehole.

摘要： Examples of high-temperature memory modules used in a well operation are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a memory module may include: a control unit configured to receive data from a controller in the well operation and further configured to receive an operating temperature downhole in the well operation and to cause the control unit to initiate a shutdown of the memory module if the operating temperature is greater than a first threshold; and a memory controller configured to receive the data from the control unit and to commit the data to storage medium.

摘要： Systems and methods for drilling a borehole into the earth are provided. The systems and methods include drilling a first portion of a borehole with a drilling system comprising a disintegrating device, the first portion extending from the surface to a subsurface reference point, wherein steering within the first portion is performed based on a first coordinate system with a first origin, creating a second coordinate system, wherein the second coordinate system has a second origin that is related to subsurface reference point, and drilling a second portion of the borehole with the drilling system, wherein steering within the second portion is performed based on the second coordinate system.

摘要： An apparatus and method to detect a fluid flow. The apparatus includes a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tool to perform an NMR measurement on the fluid in a sensitive volume by establishing a magnetic field in the sensitive volume that exhibits a change in magnitude in a direction of the fluid flow when the fluid flow is radial with respect to the NMR tool and by transmitting refocus pulses, without any tipping pulse, to obtain the NMR measurement comprising spin echo signals. The system also includes a processor to receive the NMR measurement from the NMR tool and determine whether the fluid flow exists based on an amplitude of the NMR measurement.
