Patent number: 11187073Abstract: An apparatus for protecting an electronics module used in a borehole may include an enclosure disposed along a drill string. The electronics module may be attached to the enclosure by at least one joint. The at least one joint allows a predetermined bending between the electronics module and the enclosure that does not mechanically overload the electronics module. In some embodiments, the joint may be a ball joint.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Carsten Haubold, Joachim Treviranus, Tim Mueller, Andreas Peter

Patent number: 10753517Abstract: A tubular connecting arrangement includes, a first tubular having a first shoulder and first threads, a second tubular having a second shoulder and second threads, a seal sealingly engagable to both the first shoulder and the second shoulder, an insert and a sleeve. The insert is attachable to the second tubular and configured to provide radial support to the second tubular. The sleeve threadably engagable with both the first threads and the second threads in response to being rotated in a same direction relative to both the first tubular and the second tubular such that the first shoulder and the second shoulder are moved toward one another to compress the seal therebetween without rotational movement of the first tubular relative to the second tubular.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Stephan Mueller, Andreas Herbel, Carsten Haubold

Patent number: 10738591Abstract: An apparatus for protecting an electronics module used in a borehole includes a borehole string section having at least one pocket is formed and a mount associated with the at least one pocket. The mount may include a housing, a lid, a biasing member, and a securing member. The housing receives the electronics module and is seated on a seating surface, which may be formed on the at least one pocket or the mount. The lid encloses the housing within the at least one pocket. The biasing member is in operative contact with the housing. The securing member secures the lid within the at least one pocket and compresses the lid, the housing and the biasing member in the pocket. The biasing member responsively urges the housing against the seating surface and the housing hermetically seals the electronic module.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Baker Hughes Holdings LLCInventors: Carsten Haubold, Andreas Peter, Michell Schimanski, Christian Preiser

Patent number: 10480251Abstract: Expandable reamer assemblies include an expandable reamer module and an activation module. An outer tubular body of the activation module is rigidly coupled to a tubular body of the expandable reamer module, and an activation member of the activation module is coupled to a sleeve of the expandable reamer module, the sleeve coupled to at least one blade and configured to move the at least one blade into an extended position. The sleeve moves axially responsive to axial movement of the activation member. Bottom-hole assemblies include an expandable reamer module and an activation module. The activation module is coupled to the expandable reamer module and configured to provide a motive force to the sleeve to move the sleeve opposite a direction of flow of drilling fluid. Methods of using expandable reamer modules include pairing two substantially identical expandable reamer modules and two respective different activation modules.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLCInventors: Steven R. Radford, Marcus Oesterberg, Khoi Q. Trinh, Timothy Miller, Shyam Anandampillai, Chad T. Jurica, Wolfgang E.
