Abstract:
Expandable apparatus for use in subterranean boreholes include a tubular body having at least one opening and at least one member positioned within the at least one opening. The member is configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position. A sleeve member including a constricted portion may be disposed in the tubular body and may selectively retain the at least one member in the retracted position. In some embodiments, the sleeve member may be biased in an initial position. Methods of moving a member of an expandable apparatus include repeating retracting and expanding of the member. Methods of triggering an expandable apparatus include forming a constriction in a fluid flow path extending through a sleeve member to move the sleeve member in a downhole direction responsive to fluid flow.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide apparatuses and methods for drilling and underreaming, particularly to underreamer expansion bits. Underreamer drill assemblies and underreaming bits manufactured in accordance with various embodiments may help to resist over-excavating or undermining, which may result in a more stable bore hole.

Abstract:
Expandable reamers for enlarging boreholes in subterranean formations include a tubular body at least one member positioned in openings in the tubular body. The at least one member is configured to move between retracted and extended positions. A push sleeve is disposed at least partially within the tubular body and coupled to the at least one member. The push sleeve moves axially upward to move the member to the extended position in response to a pressure of drilling fluid passing through a drilling fluid flow path in the tubular body. The push sleeve moves axially downward to move the member to the retracted position in response to a pressure of drilling fluid upon a restrictive element disposed within the fluid passageway. The restrictive element disposed within the fluid passageway may be discarded from the fluid passageway by increasing the flow rate through the drilling fluid flow path.
Abstract:
An under-reamer comprises a body and extendable cutters mounted on the body. The under-reamer is configured to be cycled between a first configuration in which the cutters are retracted and a second configuration in which the cutters are movable between retracted and extended positions. A control mechanism is provided and is configurable to prevent the under-reamer cycling between the first and second configurations and thus maintain the under-reamer in a selected one of the first and second configurations.
Abstract:
A drilling assembly for simultaneous hole enlargement operations comprises a drill bit, an adjustable diameter reamer, and a hole opener. The reamer is coupled with, and positioned uphole from the drill bit. The reamer is adjustable between a first diameter and a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter. The hole opener is coupled with, and positioned uphole from the reamer.
Abstract:
A slotting device (100) to be used with a rock drilling apparatus (1) to drill closely together a plurality of parallel intersecting holes so as to form a slot in a brittle material, such as rock, masonry or concrete. The slotting device (100) includes a guide portion (110) connected to a body portion (120) with at least one strut (130). The guide portion (110) is disposed in a previously drilled hole, and the body portion (120) and a rotary percussion tool (7) mutually define a variable volume chamber (140) that contains flushing fluid that damps transmission of impact stress waves from a percussion device (4) of the drilling apparatus (1) to the slotting device (100).
