Patent number: 11573582Abstract: A multi-stage pressure regulation system, device and associated methodology for reducing the pressure of gas passing through a gas sample conditioning system. The device and method allow for automatic and/or manual configuration settings for regulating different types of gas having different profiles while still avoiding dew point dropout thereby ensuring accurate sample analysis at a downstream analyzer. The pressure regulating device includes a housing having a core, a vapor sample input port, a plurality of openings on an upper surface, a plurality of pressure regulating valves configured to reduce the pressure of a vapor sample, and an assembly having a base and substantially central stem orthogonal to the base and extending axially therefrom, the stem being disposed within the core.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Mustang Sampling, LLCInventors: Kenneth O. Thompson, Kevin Warner, William Paluch

Publication number: 20060283635Abstract: A downhole steering tool is disclosed. The steering tool includes a rotatable shaft, a substantially non-rotating tool body deployed about the shaft, and a plurality of force application members deployed on the steering tool body. The steering tool further includes a bendable section deployed in the steering tool body. The bendable section is disposed to bend preferentially relative to the steering tool body under an applied bending load. The use of a steering tool body having a bendable section tends to advantageously reduce bending stresses in the steering tool body during use. Moreover, tools embodying this invention may be suitable for higher dogleg severity applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2005Publication date: December 21, 2006Applicant: PathFinder Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael Moody, Haoshi Song, Jay Eppink, William Paluch

Publication number: 20060185902Abstract: A steering tool for use in a well bore is disclosed. The tool includes at least one extendable and retractable blade deployed thereon. The blade is elastically spring biased radially inwards towards the tool such that upon removal of an actuating force, the blade retracts. In exemplary embodiments, the blade includes at least one spring-like, elastically deformable member disposed to elastically spring bias the blade. The spring-like member may include first and second elongated leg portions located on opposing sides of a sprung hairpin portion. Tools embodying this invention may be advantageous for small diameter applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2005Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: PathFinder Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Haoshi Song, William Paluch, Michael Moody

Publication number: 20050028973Abstract: A formation fluid sampling tool is provided. The formation fluid sampling tool includes at least one sample tank mounted in a tool collar. The tool collar includes a through bore and is disposed to be operatively coupled with a drill string such that each sample tank may receive a correspondingly preselected formation fluid sample without removing the drill string from a well bore. At least one of the sample tanks further includes an internal fluid separator movably disposed therein. The separator separates a sample chamber from a pressure balancing chamber in the sample tank. The pressure balancing chamber is disposed to be in fluid communication with drilling fluid exterior thereto. The sampling tool further includes a sample inlet port connected to the sample chamber by an inlet passageway. A method is also provided for acquiring a formation fluid sample from a formation of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: PathFinder Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: William Paluch, Michael Moody
