Patent number: 9988849Abstract: Wellbore tools may use carbon nanoforests to reduce the access of abrasive particles to compressible sealing elements of joints of the wellbore tool. In some instances, a wellbore tool may include a joint comprising two elements having opposing mating surfaces that define a gap; a compressible sealing element arranged between the opposing mating surfaces and configured to seal a portion of the gap, thereby defining a sealed segment and an unsealed segment of the gap; and at least one carbon nanoforest disposed within at least a portion of the unsealed segment and coupled to at least one of the opposing mating surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2013Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ping Sui, David Duckworth, Gary Weaver

Patent number: 9857497Abstract: During drilling of an earth borehole, resistance measurements may be made at the drill bit through use of a bottom hole assembly that includes a drill bit having a sensor, such as an electrode, located generally at an exterior surface of the drill bit. The current will be induced in the formation from multiple transmitters, at least one of which will be supported on, or very close to the drill bit. Connection mechanisms are described that enable the releasable engagement of electrical conductors to circuitry within the drill bits. The obtained resistivity measurements at the drill bit can be used for many purposes, including formation imaging and geosteering of the drilling operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2010Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael S.
