NON-MAGNETIC OPENHOLE WHIPSTOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240279989 titled 'NON-MAGNETIC OPENHOLE WHIPSTOCK
The abstract describes a patent application for a bottomhole assembly (BHA) consisting of an orientation sub and a non-magnetic whipstock. The orientation sub is designed to receive a gyroscopic orientation tool or act as a measurement-while-drilling sub to orient it in a wellbore in a subterranean formation. The non-magnetic whipstock, coupled to the orientation sub, includes a ramp with a sloped surface to divert the drill bit's direction for sidetracking from the wellbore and creating a secondary wellbore in the subterranean formation. The ramp has ports for cement permeation to secure the whipstock in the wellbore before redirecting the drill bit.
- The BHA includes an orientation sub and a non-magnetic whipstock.
- The orientation sub is for gyroscopic orientation or measurement-while-drilling in a wellbore.
- The non-magnetic whipstock diverts the drill bit's direction for sidetracking.
- The whipstock ramp has ports for cement permeation to secure it in the wellbore.
- The technology allows for the formation of secondary wellbores in subterranean formations.
Potential Applications: - Oil and gas drilling operations - Wellbore sidetracking in geological formations
Problems Solved: - Facilitates the creation of secondary wellbores - Enables precise directional drilling operations
Benefits: - Improved wellbore navigation - Enhanced drilling efficiency - Reduced operational costs
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Bottomhole Assembly for Enhanced Wellbore Navigation This technology can be utilized in the oil and gas industry for directional drilling operations, increasing efficiency and reducing costs. It has the potential to revolutionize wellbore sidetracking processes, leading to improved exploration and production outcomes.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of directional drilling technologies and wellbore navigation systems to explore similar inventions or developments.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in gyroscopic orientation tools, measurement-while-drilling technology, and non-magnetic materials for downhole equipment.
Questions about Bottomhole Assembly Technology: 1. How does the non-magnetic whipstock improve directional drilling operations? 2. What are the key advantages of using a gyroscopic orientation tool in the BHA?
Original Abstract Submitted
a bottomhole assembly (bha) includes an orientation sub and a non-magnetic whipstock. the orientation sub is configured to receive a gyroscopic orientation tool or is a measurement-while-drilling sub for orienting the orientation sub in a wellbore formed in a subterranean formation. the non-magnetic whipstock is coupled to the orientation sub. the non-magnetic whipstock includes a ramp with a sloped surface that is configured to divert a direction of a drill bit that has drilled through the orientation sub for sidetracking from the wellbore and forming a secondary wellbore in the subterranean formation. the ramp defines a set of ports that are configured to allow cement to permeate throughout the ramp for securing the non-magnetic whipstock in the wellbore before diverting the direction of the drill bit.
