  • In-situ formation strength testing with coring
    Patent number: 8171990
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating one or more formation properties using in-situ measurements conducted at or near a coring location include a coring tool adapted to cut a core sample in a formation, a member having a distal end that engages a borehole wall substantially adjacent the core sample, and a drive device that engages the member to the borehole wall with a force sufficient to estimate formation strength.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 8, 2012
    Assignee: Baker Hughes Incorporated
    Inventors: Borislav J. Tchakarov, James C. Hunziker, Quan V. Phan, Mohammed Azeemuddin, See H. Ong
  • In-situ formation strength testing
    Patent number: 8141419
    Abstract: Estimating formation properties includes a member coupled to a carrier, the member having a distal end that engages a borehole wall location, the distal end having a curved surface having a radius of curvature in at least one dimension about equal to or greater than a borehole radius. A drive device extends the first extendable member with a force sufficient to determine formation strength, and at least one measurement device providing an output signal indicative of the formation property. Articulating couplings may be used to change an angle of extension of the extendable member.

  • IN-SITU FORMATION STRENGTH TESTING WITH FORMATION SAMPLING
    Publication number: 20090164128
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating a property include evaluating a formation at a formation evaluation location using a formation evaluation tool, and estimating the property at least in part by engaging a borehole wall substantially adjacent the formation evaluation location with a formation strength test device.
