Abstract: The method for drilling includes extending a borehole from a surface location to a borehole end with a drill string having a bottom hole assembly with a drill bit. A surface sensor and a downhole sensor take measurements used to project borehole features, like the borehole end. The measurements are used to project the borehole end so that the drill bit can be steered through the rock formation. The downhole sensor is separated from the bit location by a plurality of segments. The method includes corrections when the measurements at the downhole location are not the measurements at the bit location. As the drill bit travels, the types of corrections change, including applying an initial Kalman filter, a first adjusted Kalman filter, a second adjusted Kalman filter, and a third adjusted Kalman filter, according to the plurality of segments between the downhole sensor and the bit location.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for transferring a reciprocating movement from a machinery arranged at a surface to a device located downhole in a subterranean well, the apparatus comprising: a longitudinal hollow body an upper rod connected to the machinery in one end thereof and to an upper displacement body in another end thereof, a lower displacement body adapted to operate the device, the upper displacement body and the lower displacement body are in communication via a liquid in the longitudinal hollow body, and are movable within the longitudinal hollow body, and wherein the upper displacement body, the lower displacement body and the liquid are configured to reciprocate synchronously relative to the longitudinal hollow body. The invention further relates to a method of producing a wellbore fluid.

Abstract: The method and system for determining position with improved calibration allows a device to initiate activity at the proper location, such as navigating a drill bit through a rock formation. A pair of position sensors in opposite orientations generates position data signals. A temperature sensor detects temperature and duration of the temperature. An adjusted plastic bias value is determined by a processor module based on the temperature data signal, the duration of the temperature, and the position data signals so as to account for bias and hysteresis errors and error correction based on the opposing orientations of the pair of position sensors. A position value is set according to the adjusted plastic bias value so that the position value is more accurate. The activity of the terminal device is initiated or maintained according to the position value calibrated by the adjusted plastic bias value.

Abstract: The method and system for determining position with improved calibration allows a device to initiate activity at the proper location, such as navigating a drill bit through a rock formation. A position sensor having an oscillation element with a range of displacement in a set direction according to gravity generates a position data signal based on an amount of displacement in the set direction. A temperature sensor detects temperature and duration of the temperature. A plastic bias value is determined by a processor module based on the temperature data signal, the duration of the temperature, and the position data signal so as to account for bias and hysteresis errors. A position value is set according to the plastic bias value so that the position value is more accurate. The activity of the terminal device is initiated or maintained according to the position value calibrated by the plastic bias value.

Abstract: A pump includes at least one pump section. The pump section has a center line and comprises at least two pump steps. The pump steps have a center line and each pump step comprising a motor and one or more pump stages. The at least one pump section includes an outer casing enclosing one or more inner casings. The outer casing forms an enclosure round the pump section and has a larger diameter than the inner casings. The inner casings form an enclosure round the at least two pump steps. The center line of the pump section is displaced relative to the center line of the pump steps, thereby forming an annulus between the outer casing and the inner casing.
