  • System and method to determine fatigue life of drilling components
    Patent number: 11474010
    Abstract: A method is provided. An actual fatigue curve limit is determined for actual stress of a drilling component based on an actual yield strength of a material of the drilling component. A plurality of drilling parameters is simulated for the drilling component to determine one or more estimated stresses enacted on the drilling component for one or more combinations of the plurality of drilling parameters. A component life cycle of the drilling component is determined based on the actual fatigue curve limit and the plurality of drilling parameters. A consumed component life of the drilling component is determined for an actual drilling step utilizing the drilling component, and a remaining life of the drilling component after the actual drilling step is determined.

  • Geophone with magnetic self-damping system
    Patent number: 10830916
    Abstract: A self-damping geophone, in some embodiments, comprises a housing containing a conductive coil and one or more springs; a first magnet suspended within said housing by the one or more springs, said conductive coil located within a magnetic field of the first magnet; and damping magnets disposed outside of said housing, each of the damping magnets oriented to repel a pole of the first magnet closest to that damping magnet.
