Publication number: 20240112195Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identifying and resolving consumer transactions using consumer call analytics. The computing platform may monitor consumer transactions and score each detected transaction. The computing platform may predict, using the score associated with the transaction, whether the consumer may request assistance with the transaction. The computing platform may receive, from the consumer, a request for assistance with at least one transaction. The computing platform may use a unique consumer identifier to identify transactions associated with the consumer. The computing platform may determine whether at least one similar consumer request for assistance was previously received. If at least one similar consumer request for assistance was previously received, the computing platform may retrieve the previously received request and a corresponding solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Sam William Christian, Samuel Massa Moiyallah, JR.

Publication number: 20230124872Abstract: An oscillation reduction tool configured to prevent or reduce high frequency torsional oscillation by torsionally decoupling a rotary steerable system from a bottom hole assembly, which includes a drilling motor. The tool may convert high frequency torsional oscillation into an internal axial movement without axial displacement of the tool's outer housing. The oscillation reduction tool may flatten an amplitude of high frequency torsional oscillation spikes throughout a spring arrangement. The mechanical energy associated with the internal axial movement is reduced through an internal shock absorbing mechanism, such as fluid movement through a nozzle or annular space. The oscillation reduction tool functions to reduce high frequency torsional oscillation independent of the weight on the bit of the drill string.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Rival Downhole Tools LCInventors: Gunther HH von Gynz-Rekowski, Steven Samuel Mitchell, William Christian Herben

Patent number: 11008809Abstract: A drilling assembly includes a power section with a housing that rotates in a first direction at a drill string rotation rate. An output rotates a drill bit through a transmission shaft in the first direction at a rotor rotation rate relative to the housing. A bent housing between the power section and the drill bit rotates in a second direction at a variable rotation rate relative to the power housing. The transmission shaft extends through the bent housing. A mechanical brake system adjusts the bent housing's variable rotation rate. The bent housing rotates relative to the wellbore in a rotary mode, but not in a sliding mode. The sliding mode maintains the drill bit's direction and inclination while the drill string rotates. In all modes, the drill bit's rotation rate is the sum of the drill string rate and the rotor rate relative to the power housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Rival Downhole Tools, LCInventors: Gunther H H von Gynz-Rekowski, William Christian Herben, Mark Allen Reeves, Donald M.

Patent number: 10851589Abstract: An integrated bearing section includes a mandrel partially disposed within a housing. The bearing section includes spherical members disposed between the mandrel's outer surface and the housing's inner surface. A radial bearing portion is formed by spherical members disposed partially within grooves and engaging a flat profile opposing surface. The grooves may be in the mandrel's outer surface, an outer surface of a mandrel sleeve, the housing's inner surface, or an outer radial bearing's inner surface. The flat profile opposing surface may be on an outer radial bearing's inner surface, the housing's inner surface, the mandrel's outer surface, or a mandrel sleeve's outer surface. A thrust bearing portion is formed by spherical members disposed partially within grooves in two opposing surfaces, such as the mandrel's outer surface or a mandrel sleeve's outer surface, and the housing's inner surface or an outer thrust bearing's inner surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Rival Downhole Tools LCInventors: Gunther H H von Gynz-Rekowski, Mark Allen Reeves, William Christian Herben

Patent number: 10844662Abstract: A mud-lubricated bearing section including a seal assembly for directing a fluid flowing through a mud-lubricated bearing into a central bore of a mandrel. At least one mud-lubricated bearing is positioned in an annular space between the mandrel and a housing. The seal assembly directs the fluid from the annular space through a mandrel fluid port into the mandrel central bore. The seal assembly seals the annular space, and includes a piston, a plug, and a chamber between the piston and the plug. The piston is configured for axial movement relative to the mandrel and the housing, while the plug is axially fixed relative to the mandrel and/or the housing.

Patent number: 10829993Abstract: A vibration assembly includes a valve above a rotor and stator. The rotor rotates within the stator as fluid flows therethrough. The valve includes a rotating valve segment, which rotates with the rotor, and a non-rotating valve segment each including at least one fluid passage. In an open position, the fluid passages of the valve segments are aligned and a fluid flows through the valve. In a restricted position, the fluid passages of the valve segments are partially or completely unaligned, thereby creating a pressure pulse that is transmitted through the drill string or coiled tubing above the valve. The valve may further include an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve surrounding the non-rotating valve segment. The inner and outer sleeves allow axial sliding but prevent rotation of the non-rotating valve segment. The assembly may further include a lower thrust bearing at a lower end of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: RIVAL DOWNHOLE TOOLS LCInventors: Gunther H H von Gynz-Rekowski, William Christian Herben, Steven Samuel Mitchell, Russell Wayne Koenig, Mark Joshua Miller, Kevin James Rudy
