Abstract: A variable build motor downhole tool allows changing the build rate in a directional drilling operation without pulling the drill string from the hole and replacing a fixed build sub in the drill string. A pad can be extended upon command to increase the build rate and retracted upon command to decrease the build rate. The pad is mounted on an insert disposed within an outer housing and extends outwardly through the outer housing by action of one or more pistons. Electronics housed in the variable build motor tool are used to receive commands from uphole and cause the pistons to extend, forcing the pad outward to increase the build rate.

Abstract: A downhole, hydraulically actuated drilling stabilizer provides versatility in a bottom-hole assembly. The drilling stabilizer can be used in a directional drilling application to help control the inclination in an extended reach or horizontal well. The drilling stabilizer has stabilizer blade members with an angular design portion that provides versatility in a bottom-hole assembly. The stabilizer can also be used in a conventional rotary bottom-hole assembly or positioned below a steerable motor. A drilling stabilizer with adjustable extension diameters provides improved inclination control over currently existing options.

Abstract: An environmental severity measurement tool measures acceleration along 3 axes to determine shock and vibration affecting a downhole tool in which the environmental severity measurement tool is disposed. The environmental severity measurement tool includes a replaceable battery and electronics disposed within an external housing. A pin provides a way to ensure the environmental severity measurement tool is oriented in a known orientation. Data sampled by the tool can be downloaded from the tool to an external device through a connector port of the electronics. Software in the tool controls the operation of the tool and can be configured from an external device.
