  • WELLBORE CASING WHILE DRILLING WITH DRILLING JAR
    Publication number: 20240133259
    Abstract: A well tool assembly includes a first well tool and a second well tool. The first well tool includes a first casing, a first drill bit and a drilling jar. The first drill bit is configured to drill through a subterranean zone to form a wellbore. The drilling jar is axially coupled to the casing uphole of the first drill bit. The drilling jar has an outer diameter that is greater than an outer diameter of the first casing. The second well tool has a second casing and a second drill bit. The second casing has an outer diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of the drilling jar. The second drill bit has an outer diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter of the drilling jar.
