Publication number: 20240165784Abstract: A reciprocating assembly includes a bore that contains hydraulic fluid. A piston is received within the bore and can move within the bore in a reciprocating motion between an extended position and a retracted position. Displacement of the piston within the bore causes displacement of hydraulic fluid when hydraulic fluid is in the bore. The piston includes an internal cavity extending at least partially along a length of the piston. The reciprocating assembly also includes a push pin that is received within the internal cavity. The bore, piston, and push pin are arranged so that movement of the push pin related to the bore causes translation of the piston within the bore to the extended position along a translation axis. The push pin can pivot during movement of the push pin between an in-line position and an angled position. The in-line position is substantially parallel to the translation axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: John Lefavour, Robert Auger, Cody McCarthy, Luke Desmarais

Publication number: 20240141776Abstract: Systems and methods for using stratigraphic heat maps to steer a well being drilled. Data from one or more offset wells can be provided to a computer system and used with data from a well being drilled to generate one or more stratigraphic heat maps during the drilling of the subject well. The stratigraphic heat maps can be displayed and used to determine the location of the wellbore relative to one or more geological formations, including one or more target formations or within a target formation. Based on the use of the heat maps and the location of the wellbore relative to a target, the drill plan can be adjusted or updated and/or one or more drilling parameters or operations may be adjusted to drill the wellbore, such as to drill the wellbore to the target or to maximize the length of the wellbore within a target zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Timothy William Gee, Stefan Maus, Kenneth Robert McCarthy, Alexander Michael Mitkus, Jin Sun

Publication number: 20230392497Abstract: Systems and methods for automated filtering and normalization of logging data for improved drilling performance may enable smoothing and amplitude scaling of log data for meaningful comparison and analysis without scaling artefacts. The logging data may be collected from downhole sensors or may be recorded by a control system used for drilling. A computer implemented method may enable industrial scale automated filtering and normalization of logging data, including calibration to a known standard. In particular, the filtering and normalization may be used for stratigraphic analysis to correlate true vertical depth to measured depth along a wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Stefan MAUS, Qianlong LIU, Alexander Michael MITKUS, Kenneth Robert MCCARTHY, Jim SUN, Andrew Robert PARE

Publication number: 20230281505Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring data set quality by applying Machine Learning (ML) to the data set, identifying good/bad records therein, and further identifying or scoring the records and data sets reflecting whether or not they are good or bad. Knowledge of the goodness or badness of the records of the data sets may enable a user to make determinations or take actions according to the records or data set with respect to further analytics based on the records. Use of an ML model may help avoid problems that arise when trying to manually monitor/classify records or generate code to decide if a record is good or bad in view of multi-field interdependencies. Moreover, training the ML model to compensate for new rules may be less complex than trying to manually account for or generate code to account for such new rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: WILFREDO E. LUGO, Robert McCarthy
