  • Publication number: 20240141739
    Abstract: A downhole tool assembly is configured for repeated and selective hydraulic activation and deactivation. A spring member biases the indexing control section 210 towards a first axial position while drilling fluid pressure in the tool body urges the indexing control section 210 towards other axial positions. Downhole tool activation and deactivation may repeatedly be controlled from the surface by cycling the drilling fluid pressure.

  • Patent number: 9151118
    Abstract: A downhole apparatus for reaming a borehole incorporates two sets of cutting structures into two integral blade stabilizers, one oriented downhole and the other oriented uphole. The cutting structures comprise polycrystalline diamond cutters that are brazed into a wedge of steel that is inserted into the body of the reamers in an axial direction and retained by a stop block and retention cover that is bolted into the reamer. The two integral blade stabilizers have a combination left hand/right hand blade wrapping to provide 360° support around the circumference of the reamer. Between the two stabilizers, an impeller and a flow accelerator agitate cuttings on the low side of the borehole to mix the cuttings in with the drilling mud.
