Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring operational characteristics of a drilling system that includes a bottom hole assembly having a drill collar operably coupled to a drill bit. A device having an elongate beam and at least one pair of sensors is rigidly secured to a part of the bottom hole assembly to measure strain in the part of the bottom hole assembly. The measurement of strain can be used to derive a measurement of at least one operational parameter of the drilling system, such as dog leg severity of a wellbore, torque on bit, and/or weight on bit.

Abstract: A method of identifying a geothermal reservoir of an earth formation comprises receiving engagement data from an engagement sensor. The engagement data corresponds to an engagement of the instrumented engagement element with a borehole in the earth formation. The method includes identifying environment data from a rotation sensor. The environment data corresponds to a downhole environment of the engagement data. The method includes mapping the engagement data to the environment data to generate mapped engagement data.

Abstract: A battery comprises a housing, one or more energy cells contained within the housing, and a battery monitoring system contained within the housing. The battery monitoring system includes a health sensor configured to take health measurements corresponding to a health condition of the battery. The battery monitoring system includes an electronic module configured to communicate one or more signals corresponding to the health measurements such that the health condition may be determined.

Abstract: A downhole energy harvesting system includes a housing subjected to periodic oscillations. An energy harvesting device is on, in, or otherwise connected to the housing and positioned to generate electricity based on the periodic oscillations. The energy harvesting device is coupled to at least one of a powered component or an energy storage device in order to use or store the harvested energy.

Abstract: A reamer for enlarging an underground borehole comprises a plurality of cutter assemblies distributed azimuthally around a longitudinal axis of the tool, and each cutter assembly comprises a supporting structure and a plurality of hard faced cutters (211-216) embedded therein with a hard face of each cutter exposed and facing in a direction of rotation of the tool. Each cutter assembly includes at least one outward-facing gauge surface (220), at a radial distance from the tool axis which aligns the gauge surface with the radially outer extremity (218) of at least one cutter. This gauge surface (220) extends (221) in the direction of rotation circumferentially ahead of the extremity of the exposed face of the aligned at least one cutter. It may meet the side of the assembly at a curved (222) or bevelled (342) edge and may also extend back from the exposed face of the cutter. These gauge surfaces aligned with the extremity of the cutter prevent the reamer from pivoting around the extremity of a cutter which has snagged on the borehole wall and thus stabilize the rotation within the borehole.

Abstract: An instrument assembly comprises an electronics housing disposed in a body of a downhole tool and an engagement element assembly connected to the electronics housing. The instrument assembly includes an engagement sensor positioned at a base of the engagement element assembly and configured to take measurements corresponding with an engagement of the engagement element assembly with a borehole. The instrument assembly includes an electronics housing seal configured to seal at least a portion of the electronics housing from a downhole pressure.

Abstract: A rotary tool for operation within an underground borehole or within tubing in a borehole has a tool body and at least one sensor-containing unit attached to the tool body and positioned to contact the conduit wall. The sensor-containing unit includes an exterior portion to contact the borehole or tubing wall and one or more sensors is located in a cavity between the exterior portion and the tool body. The sensor-containing unit may be formed from the exterior portion, an attachment portion for attachment to the tool body, and one or more connecting portions extending between the attachment and exterior portions, with the sensor-containing cavity between the attachment and exterior portions. Possible rotary tools include drill bits, reamers, mills, stabilizers, and rotary steerable systems.

Abstract: A stabilizer can include an outer collar, an inner sleeve, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is changeable between a first mode in which the outer collar is rotationally fixed to the inner sleeve and a second mode in which the outer collar is rotationally isolated relative to the inner sleeve. The stabilizer may include an active or passive system for changing modes. An example passive device may include a magnetic clutch where the detected force overcomes magnetic forces to change mode. The stabilizer can be used to mitigate whirl on a rotating device by switching the rotating device between a rotating mode and a non-rotating mode. In the rotating mode, outer collar may rotate with the inner sleeve. In the non-rotating mode, the outer collar may be rotationally isolated from the inner sleeve.
