==INTELLIGENT DRILLING SYSTEM WITH EXTERNAL STATIONARY SENSING SHIELD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18064105 titled 'INTELLIGENT DRILLING SYSTEM WITH EXTERNAL STATIONARY SENSING SHIELD

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The intelligent drilling system described in the patent application includes an inner drill pipe that rotates to advance a drill bit in a wellbore, an external drill string shield that remains stationary during drilling, and an in-situ sensing system to measure downhole parameters.

* The system features an inner drill pipe that rotates around a longitudinal axis in a transversal plane of a wellbore.
* An external drill string shield surrounds the inner drill pipe and is coupled to it via at least one bearing system.
* The bearing system decouples the external drill string shield from the rotational motion of the inner drill pipe, keeping it stationary during drilling.
* An in-situ sensing system is placed on the interior wall of the external drill string shield to measure downhole parameters of the wellbore.

'''Potential Applications:'''
This technology could be used in oil and gas drilling operations, geothermal drilling, and other industries that require precise drilling in challenging environments.

'''Problems Solved:'''
The system addresses the challenge of maintaining stability and accuracy during drilling operations, as well as the need for real-time measurement of downhole parameters.

'''Benefits:'''
- Improved drilling accuracy and efficiency
- Real-time monitoring of downhole conditions
- Enhanced safety for drilling operations

'''Commercial Applications:'''
Title: Advanced Intelligent Drilling System for Enhanced Efficiency in Oil and Gas Exploration
This technology could revolutionize the oil and gas industry by improving drilling accuracy, reducing downtime, and increasing overall efficiency in exploration and extraction processes.

'''Prior Art:'''
While there is no specific prior art provided in the abstract, researchers can explore existing drilling technologies, sensing systems, and drilling automation solutions for related information.

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Researchers are continually developing new sensors, data analytics tools, and automation technologies to enhance drilling operations and improve wellbore monitoring.

'''Questions about Intelligent Drilling Systems:'''
1. How does the in-situ sensing system improve drilling operations?
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this intelligent drilling system?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An intelligent drilling system is disclosed. The intelligent drilling system includes an inner drill pipe adapted to rotate around a longitudinal axis in a transversal plane of a wellbore to advance a drill bit during a drilling operation, an external drill string shield surrounding the inner drill pipe and coupled to the inner drill pipe via at least one bearing system, the at least one bearing system adapted to decouple the external drill string shield from a rotational motion of the inner drill pipe in the transversal plane such that the external drill string shield remains substantially stationary during the drilling operation, and an in-situ sensing system disposed on an interior wall of the external drill string shield to measure at least one downhole parameter of the wellbore.
