  • Placement of stabilizers, standoffs, and rollers on a downhole tool string
    Patent number: 10125545
    Abstract: A manufacturing system that manufactures a downhole tool string, which includes a model that describes relationship between properties of the downhole tool string, properties of a borehole, properties of a formation, and properties of a mud cake formed on a surface of the borehole and a design device that iteratively determines contact parameters that describe one or more contact points expected between the downhole tool string and the mud cake based at least in part on the model, in which the contact parameters comprise contact force expected at each of the contact points, adjusts the properties of the downhole tool string to add a spacer at one of the contact points associated with highest contact force, and indicates location, type, or both of the spacer to enable the manufacturing system to attach the spacer to the downhole tool string before deployment of the downhole tool string in the borehole.

  • Method and Apparatus for Applying a Pull Force to a Downhole Tool and Element of Completion
    Publication number: 20170138140
    Abstract: A method of generating force in a wellbore includes setting an anchor on a body of a force generating device. The method also includes moving an actuator rod of the force generating device and apply tension to a cable connected with the actuator rod, wherein the force generated by the force generating device is the sum of the tension on the cable and the force generated by the force generation device.
