Abstract: A drilling system, assembly, and method may help optimize drilling in a system that involves more than one rotary tool that engages the formation. A rotary tool may be a rotary cutting tool, such as a drill bit or reamer, or some other rotary tool (e.g. stabilizer or rotary steerable tool) that has the potential to drag on the wall of the hole being drilled and take energy away from cutting. In an example, a wellbore or portion thereof is formed by rotating a first rotary cutting tool having a first cutting structure in engagement with one portion of the formation together with a second rotary cutting tool having a second cutting structure in engagement with another portion of the formation. Forces are obtained above and below the second cutting structure. One or more drilling parameter or drill bit design parameter are adjusted in relation to a force differential between the forces above and below the second cutting structure.

Abstract: Regulating downhole fluid flow through a plurality of valves to treat wellbore sections while also allowing for production to continue. If it is determined that fluid flow through a valve of a plurality of valves is below a threshold, maintaining fluid flow through the below threshold valve may be maintained while restricting fluid flow through other valves of the plurality.

Once isolated, a treatment substance may be injected through the below threshold valve into the isolated section of well. Afterwards, the closed valves may be reopened while restricting fluid flow through the treated section valve for a threshold period of time. the treated section valve may then be reopened after the threshold period of time.
