FRICTION REDUCTION ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035348 titled 'FRICTION REDUCTION ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a friction reduction tool and assembly that can be activated to generate fluid pressure pulses during downhole operations. The assembly consists of a variable choke assembly with a rotary component and a stationary component. These components have passages that align and disalign when the rotary component rotates with respect to the stationary component, driven by a rotor. The rotary component, stationary component, and rotor all have a central bore that allows fluid flow from above to below the assembly.
- The patent application describes a tool and assembly that can reduce friction and generate fluid pressure pulses in downhole operations.
- The assembly includes a variable choke assembly with a rotary and stationary component.
- The rotary and stationary components have passages that align and disalign when the rotary component rotates.
- A rotor drives the rotary component, causing the alignment and disalignment of the passages.
- The assembly has a central bore that permits fluid flow from above to below the assembly.
Potential Applications:
- Oil and gas drilling operations
- Well stimulation and hydraulic fracturing
- Geothermal drilling
- Mining operations
Problems Solved:
- Reduces friction during downhole operations
- Generates fluid pressure pulses for various applications
- Improves fluid flow and circulation in the wellbore
Benefits:
- Increased efficiency and effectiveness of downhole operations
- Enhanced wellbore cleaning and debris removal
- Improved well stimulation and reservoir productivity
- Reduced wear and tear on drilling equipment
- Cost savings through optimized drilling and production processes
Original Abstract Submitted
a friction reduction tool and assembly are selectively activatable to produce fluid pressure pulses in downhole operations. the assembly includes a variable choke assembly having a rotary component and a stationary component, each with passages that enter into and out of alignment when the rotary component rotates with respect to the stationary component when driven by a rotor. the rotary component, stationary component, and rotor each have a central bore defining a central passage permitting fluid flow from above the assembly to below the assembly.
