Patent number: 12584402Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for magnetically ranging while drilling with a coiled tubing unit or drill pipe by way of a an electrically conducive but environmentally electrically insulated wire installed through a coiled tubing spool or drill pipe complete with electrically insulative subs in the coiled tubing bottom hole assembly or drill pipe. The method and systems allow for the injection of excitation current into the formation by way of selectively electrifying various drill stem components, thereby facilitating current collection on a target tubular which radially emanates a magnetic field about the target well tubular(s). The method and devices allow for the construction of complex downhole current injection configurations which allow for modification of the bottom hole assembly to maximize target well signal generation in the presence of adverse environmental conditions.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2024Date of Patent: March 24, 2026Assignee: Gunnar LLLPInventor: Clinton Moss

Publication number: 20250369350Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for the augmentation of Electromagnetic (EM) telemetry by way of lengthening the lower antenna of the system by way of wired drill pipe. Wired drill pipe segments which allow for a continuous electrical power transmission and physical connection of multiple sections of drill pipe so that the anode of the EM transmitter can be effectively displaced farther up hole in the drill string, thereby lengthening the lower antenna portion of the telemetry system, resulting in enhanced signal amplitude both received and transmitted by the bi-directional subterranean communication or formation logging system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2024Publication date: December 4, 2025Applicant: Gunnar LLLPInventor: Clinton Moss
