  • CALLING ON A MULTI-DISPLAY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240089365
    Abstract: Examples that relate to calling on a computing device are disclosed. One example provides a computing device, comprising, a first display a second display, a sensor system a logic subsystem and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to output, via one or both of the first display and the second display, a notification of an incoming phone call at the computing device, and based on output from the sensor system indicating a relative angle between the first display and the second display being changed to an angle greater than a predetermined angle, answer the incoming phone call.

  • Combined casing system and method
    Patent number: 9822614
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for drilling and casing a wellbore using a drilling rig having a predetermined load capacity, using a casing scheme comprising two or more casing strings, and at least one combined casing string, which includes a first one of the casing strings fitting within a second casing string. The weight of the at least one combined casing string may exceed the load capacity of the drilling rig, and the weight of each of the parts of the at least one combined casing string is less than the load capacity.

  • MODIFYING EXPANSION FORCES BY ADDING COMPRESSION
    Publication number: 20110253394
    Abstract: A method for expanding a tubular in a borehole, the tubular having upper and lower ends, the system comprises a) applying a compressive load to the upper end of the tubular and b) expanding the tubular by moving an expansion device relative to the tubular while maintaining the compressive load. Step a) may include resting a weight on the upper end of the tubular or applying hydraulic pressure to the upper end of the tubular. The lower end of the tubular may engage the formation before step b) or as a result of step b).

  • Apparatus and methods for drilling and lining a wellbore
    Patent number: 7823659
    Abstract: A method of drilling and lining a wellbore includes operably coupling a support member to a drilling device, an expansion cone configured to expand a tubular member, an actuator configured to pull the expansion cone through the tubular member, a releasable locking device configured to limit displacement of the tubular member relative to the actuator during actuation. The drilling device is disposed below the expansion cone and the expansion cone is disposed at a lower end of the tubular member. The method further includes locking the locking device. After locking the locking device, a wellbore is drilled to have a diameter greater than an outside diameter of the tubular member. After the drilling, the actuator is actuated to pull the expansion cone towards the locking device to expand at least a portion of the tubular member into contact with the drilled wellbore. The method further includes releasing the locking device and removing the drilling device through the expanded tubular member.
