DOWNHOLE TOOL INCLUDING A BORE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481615 titled 'DOWNHOLE TOOL INCLUDING A BORE SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a downhole tool for use in a well system, including a latch collet with a collet body and collet fingers, a mandrel with a mandrel slot, and a bore sensor to detect casing size and allow for relative sliding between the collet body and mandrel.
- Latch collet with collet body, collet fingers, and mandrel with mandrel slot
- Bore sensor detects casing size and allows for relative sliding between collet body and mandrel
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in oil and gas drilling operations where precise casing size detection is crucial for efficient well construction.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of accurately determining casing size downhole, which can prevent costly errors and delays in well construction.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in casing size detection, increased efficiency in well construction, and reduced risk of errors during drilling operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the oil and gas industry for companies involved in drilling and well construction services.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in the field of downhole tools and casing size detection systems may include similar latch collet designs with bore sensors, but this specific combination of features may be unique to this invention.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing casing size detection systems in terms of accuracy and reliability?
This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing casing size detection systems, leaving uncertainty about the performance of this technology in relation to others in the market.
What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in different well environments or drilling conditions?
The article does not address potential limitations or challenges that may arise when using this technology in various well environments or drilling conditions, leaving room for further exploration of its adaptability.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a downhole tool, a well system, and a method for forming a well system. The downhole tool, in one aspect, includes a latch collet including a collet body, the collet body having a collet body opening extending through a thickness (t) thereof and a plurality of collet fingers, as well as a mandrel positioned within the collet body, the mandrel having a mandrel slot therein. The downhole tool, according to this aspect, further includes a bore sensor positioned within the collet body opening and the mandrel slot, the bore sensor configured remain in a radially extended state when the latch collet is in too large size casing and configured to be pushed to a radially compressed state when the latch collet is in the correct size casing and thereby not prevent the collet body and the mandrel from sliding relative to one another.
