A preferred embodiment of a system for rotating and guiding a drill bit in an underground bore includes a drilling motor and a drive shaft coupled to drilling motor so that drill bit can be rotated by the drilling motor. The system further includes a guidance module having an actuating arm movable between an extended position wherein the actuating arm can contact a surface of the bore and thereby exert a force on the housing of the guidance module, and a retracted position.

A rotary pulser for transmitting information to the surface from down hole in a well by generating pressure pulses encoded to contain information. The pressure pulses travel to the surface where they are decoded so as to decipher the information. The pulser includes housing containing a stator forming passages through which drilling fluid flows on its way to the drill bit, a rotor, and a replaceable wear sleeve enclosing the rotor. The rotor has blades that are capable of imparting a varying obstruction to the flow of drilling fluid through the stator passages depending on the circumferential orientation of the rotor, so that rotation of the rotor by a motor generates the encoded pressure pulses. The rotor is located downstream of the stator and the rotor blades are shaped so that when the motor is not in operation, a hydrodynamic opening torque is imparted to the rotor that tends to rotate the rotor blades away from the circumferential orientation that results in the maximum obstruction and toward the circumferential orientation that results in the minimum obstruction. A torsion spring provides a mechanical force that also tends to rotate the rotor into the orientation that provides the minimum flow obstruction.

A FireNet security system in which trustworthy networks, called BlackNets, each comprising One (1) or more client computers, are protected by FireBreaks against attacks from untrustworthy networks, called RedNets. All incoming transactions from the RedNet are examined by the FireBreak to determine if they violate any of a plurality of protection rules stored in a local protection rules database. Any transaction found to be in violation is discarded. Valid transactions are forwarded to the BlackNet. If an otherwise valid transaction is found to be suspicious, the FireBreak will forward to a FireNet Server relevant information relating to that transaction. If the FireNet Server verifies that the transaction is indeed part of an attack, the FireNet Server will create new protection rules suitable to defend against the newly identified source or strategy of attack. Periodically, all FireBreaks in the FireNet system will transfer, directly or indirectly, all new rules.

A method of thread timing for a rotary shouldered connection is presented. A ring gage which has a first and second scribe line thereon is used to establish a male timed rotary connection of a first tool. The angular distance between the first and second scribe lines is the advance timing correction (ATC), i.e., the angular distance between hand tight face-up and full torque make-up of a rotary connection comprising the male timed rotary connection of the first tool and a female timed rotary connection of a second tool. The second scribe line (indicative of the ATC) is transferred onto the first tool. A pin gage which has a third scribe line thereon is used to establish the female connection of the second tool. The third scribe line on the pin gage corresponds to the first scribe line on the ring gage. The third scribe line is transferred onto the second tool. When the first and second tools are rotatively connected at full torque, the transferred lines on the tools are in general angular alignment. These transferred lines provide the angular data for machining of the tools (e.g., machining of hatches or other features to house directional formation evaluation sensors or the like).

A method and apparatus for nuclear logging, and in particular, neutron porosity logging is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a pair of spaced lithium detectors, preferably Li.sup.6 I crystal or Li.sup.6 doped glass are used to detect neutrons emitted from a borehole formation being logged. In addition, novel data processing is used to strip the gamma-ray peak from the spectrum developed by the lithium detectors.

摘要:
A measurement-while-drilling (MWD) density tool is provided which incorporates a single gamma ray source and a pair of longitudinally displaced and mutually aligned detector assemblies (i.e., dual scintillation counters). A nuclear source is mounted in a pocket in the sub wall and partially surrounded by gamma ray shielding. The subwall section adjacent the source is expanded radially so as to define a lobe which displaces mud thus reducing borehole and mudcake effects. The two detector assemblies are mounted within a cavity or hatch formed in the subwall and enclosed by a detector hatch cover under ambient pressure. The detector assemblies are fixedly spaced from the source and are also partially surrounded by gamma ray shielding to provide good formation response. The hatch cover is secured to the sub by bolts and contains radiation transparent windows therethrough in alignment with the detector assemblies. A threaded-on fluid displacement sleeve is positioned on the sub and over the detector hatch cover. This sleeve has several important functions including the displacement of borehole fluids, reducing mudcaking which might have an adverse effect on the measurement and maintaining a relatively constant formatio to detector distance. The sleeve is full gage (with respect to the borehole diameter) and includes radiation transparent windows that are positioned over the hatch cover windows in a manner which optimizes the response of the tool. The sleeve includes blades which are configured such as to provide adequate flow area in the annulus between the density sub and formation wall.
