A DOWNHOLE TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011372 titled 'A DOWNHOLE TOOL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a downhole tool used in drilling operations. The tool consists of an inner body with connections to convey fluid between upper and lower components. The inner body has a flow bore that allows fluid communication between the connections. An outer body surrounds part of the inner body and can move axially parallel to the tool's longitudinal axis. Pressurized fluid introduced into pressure chambers causes the outer body to move axially with respect to the inner body. The tool also includes a component that is activated or operated by the axial movement of the outer body.
- The tool is a downhole tool used in drilling operations.
- It has an inner body with connections to convey fluid between upper and lower components.
- The inner body has a flow bore that allows fluid communication between the connections.
- An outer body surrounds part of the inner body and can move axially parallel to the tool's longitudinal axis.
- Pressurized fluid introduced into pressure chambers causes the outer body to move axially with respect to the inner body.
- The tool includes a component that is activated or operated by the axial movement of the outer body.
Potential Applications:
- Drilling operations in the oil and gas industry
- Wellbore cleanout and stimulation
- Formation evaluation and testing
Problems Solved:
- Improved fluid conveyance in a drill string
- Enhanced control and manipulation of downhole tools
- Increased efficiency and reliability in drilling operations
Benefits:
- Improved drilling performance and productivity
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
- Enhanced safety and operational control
Original Abstract Submitted
a downhole tool, comprising: an inner body, having first and second connections in a drill string to convey fluid from immediately upper to immediately lower components. the inner body defines a flow bore which communicates between the first and second connections. an outer body disposed around at least part of the inner body is axially movable with respect to the inner body, in a direction which is parallel or substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the tool, such that introduction of pressurised fluid into pressure chambers tends to drive the outer body axially with respect to the inner body. the tool further comprises a component which is activated or operated by axial movement of the outer body with respect to the inner body.
