Patent number: 11905794Abstract: Methods for operating drill strings in a wellbore include providing a drilling apparatus that includes a Kelly drive system for rotating the drill string that includes a bottom hole assembly (BHA) and a Kelly engaged with the Kelly drive system. The BHA includes a hydraulically driven rotating string reamer coupled to the drill string uphole from a drill bit and a near-bit reamer. The hydraulically driven rotating string reamer includes a hydraulic drive operatively coupled to a string reamer. The methods include translating the BHA axially through the wellbore and, while translating the BHA, circulating drilling fluid through the drill string, which causes the hydraulic drive to rotate the string reamer relative to the drill string, drill bit, and near-bit reamer. Rotation of the string reamer by the hydraulic drive reams away imperfections extending radially inward from a wellbore wall of the wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Salem Alharbi, Syed Muhammad Ali

Patent number: 11519241Abstract: A drill assembly has a stinger with downward oriented cups including an upper cup and a lower cup. The cups create a loss zone therebetween in a downhole environment. The downhole environment can be a shaft of a well. The loss zone can be filled with cement to plug the shaft. The downward oriented cups isolate the loss zone from the shaft and minimize the hydrostatic pressure above the upper cup.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Syed Muhammad Ali, Victor Jose Bustamante Rodriguez

Patent number: 6765483Abstract: The present invention addresses the need to sustain brake lights illumination of a motor vehicle at substantially stationary state even after brake pedal is released in order to ensure traffic safety. This device employs a number of commonly available relays not only to sustain the power to the brake lights but also to monitor the state of the movement of the vehicle. The circuit is largely composed of three main sections: a power supply relay, a latching-unlatching relays and a sensor array. One common type of relays can be used to all three of these parts. Different from prior arts in this matter, no sensor on a power shaft is needed, although such device can be accommodated. Instead, simple tilting type mercury switches are used for sensing the acceleration of a vehicle. This device can be integrated with many other motion sensing devices. These sensor actions can also be blocked or supplemented by the engagement of the parking brake or the cruise control.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Inventor: Syed Muhammad Ali Naqvi
