  • Patent number: 11905829
    Abstract: An integrated logging instrument for coring and sampling includes a downhole main body and a ground system. The downhole main body is connected with the ground system through a long cable. The downhole main body includes a coring and sampling mechanism, a power mechanism and an energy storage mechanism. The coring and sampling mechanism includes a coring assembly for drilling cores and a pushing and setting assembly for downhole fixation. The power mechanism is arranged at an upper end of the coring and sampling mechanism, and includes a motor, a piston structure and a pump body. The piston structure and the pump body are respectively arranged at two output ends of the motor. The piston structure is arranged to provide suction power. The pump body is arranged to provide hydraulic power. The energy storage mechanism is arranged at a lower end of the coring and sampling mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11072981
    Abstract: A sampling-by-pushing system includes a setting-by-pushing mechanism and a centralizing device. The setting-by-pushing mechanism is connected with the centralizing device through a connecting pipe, and is configured to be set and sealed in a borehole. The centralizing device includes a base body and a retractable support arm arranged on the base body. The support arm is configured to be in contact with the wall of the borehole so as to position the setting-by-pushing mechanism in the center of the borehole.

  • Patent number: 10208736
    Abstract: A high-pressure fluid mixing pump control system and a fluid suction control method, the system comprises a transmission threaded rod and a resolver sensor, wherein: one end of the transmission threaded rod is connected to an oil cylinder piston of a mixing pump, while the other end of the transmission threaded rod is connected to the resolver sensor either directly or via a rotary element that rotates coaxially with the transmission threaded rod. The high-pressure fluid mixing pump control system implements precision control via a mechanical means, converts a linear motion of the piston into a rotary motion, and utilizes the resolver sensor for precision measurement of a rotation angle, thus acquiring a piston displacement amount, and finally acquiring a suction volume. At the same time, an accelerator and an electric brake are also designed, for controlling starting and stopping of the mixing pump.

  • Patent number: 9988899
    Abstract: A method of formation testing and a formation testing instrument are provided. The formation testing instrument includes a first pump, a dual packer module, a reverse injection module and a second pump. The dual packer module is provided with a support arm at one side thereof capable of setting after deployed; and the dual packer module is provided with first and second probes at the other side. The first probe is located above the second probe and the first and second probes can establish a channel with the formation. The second pump injects the acidizing liquid in the reverse injection module into the fluid region in the formation by the second probe; and the first pump sucks the fluid in the formation by the first probe.
