Abstract: A multi-function downhole apparatus is described which comprises a tubular main body having at least one recess formed in its outer surface. The recess is adapted to receive any of a set of interchangeable tool elements, which include stabiliser blades of different radial sizes, cleaning elements, roller reaming tool elements, a hole opener tool element, and a drilling casing shoe element. In particular, the apparatus allows drilling operations and wellbore cleaning operations to be carried out using the same tool body.
Abstract: Downhole apparatus is described having a tubular main body and at least one flow channel formed on the body. The channel has at least one non-uniform dimension. A flow guide is located adjacent an end of the channel, and the flow guide and the channel together define a flow path for flow of a downhole medium along the body. The downhole apparatus may for example be a casing reamer shoe, a drill pipe, or a motor sleeve.
