  • Patent number: 11892695
    Abstract: A cable comprises a protective jacket and a plurality of conductor bundles symmetrically arranged within the protective jacket. The cable comprises optical fibers arranged within the protective jacket relative to the plurality of conductor bundles such that an orthogonal mode electrical field symmetry for the plurality of conductor bundles is retained.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11366275
    Abstract: A hybrid electro-optic (EO) wireline cable includes optical fibers strategically placed within to allow acoustic sensing methods as well as provide power and electrical telemetry. The hybrid EO wireline cable contains optical fibers in the interstices among symmetrically arranged electrical wire bundles to allow a hybrid EO cable to be concurrently used for electrical telemetry and optical fiber sensing without interference in a wellbore environment. This hybrid EO cable maintains electric and magnetic field symmetry which allows an optimal electrical signaling rate through orthogonal propagation modes. By placing optical fibers symmetrically inside the interstitial spaces between electrical wire bundles, the cable maintains its optimal signaling rate and avoids the mechanical and electrical limitations that would be introduced when combining electrical wires and optical fibers in a wireline cable.

  • Patent number: 10400530
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, assemblies, and methods for facilitating fluid flow during/after landing of logging tools in a bottom hole assembly. In operation, a memory logging tool is lowered through a longitudinal bore of a drill pipe string and landed in a bottom hole assembly disposed at the end of the drill pipe string. Drilling fluid is pumped behind the logging tool to assist with downward movement of the tool. As the logging tools land, partial fluid flow path is blocked by the logging tools. The fluid pressure can rise in response to the narrowing of the fluid flow path. Facilitating fluid flow through and/or around the logging tools can put the rising fluid pressure in a proper range for powering the logging tools to land and monitoring purposes.

  • Patent number: 9909376
    Abstract: A latching assembly for wellbore logging tools includes a bottom hole assembly to be disposed on a distal end of a drill string. The bottom hole assembly includes a landing sub having a bore with a latching mechanism that includes latch jaws and bias springs. The latch jaws can receive a landing shoulder. The biasing spring has a closing arm and an opening arm to respectively close and open the latch jaws. The bottom hole assembly includes a tool string that includes the landing shoulder for engaging with the latch jaw of the landing sub, the biasing spring, and a logging assembly that includes at least one logging tool for obtaining and storing data about at least one geologic formation penetrated by the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20150292285
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating fluid flow during and after landing of logging tools in a bottom hole assembly are disclosed. A logging tool string is lowered through a drill string and landed in a bottom hole assembly (“BHA”) positioned at the end of the drill string. Drilling fluid is pumped behind the logging tool to assist with downward movement of the tool. As the logging tool string lands in the bottom hole assembly, fluid flowing downward through the BHA below the logging tool string is blocked by the landed logging tool string. The BHA includes a circulation sub positioned above a landing sub. The circulation sub has at least one port through a wall of the circulation sub which allows fluid flow out of the BHA and into the annulus between the wellbore wall and the BHA when the downward flow is blocked.
