  • Publication number: 20260036046
    Abstract: The systems and methods presented herein include a sidewall coring tool assembly that includes a coring shaft having an internal cavity and configured to be coupled to a coring motor shaft of a coring motor at a first axial end of the coring shaft. The coring shaft includes a plurality of scoops disposed circumferentially on a first external surface of the coring shaft. Each scoop of the plurality of scoops forms a conduit from an exterior of the coring shaft to an interior of the coring shaft. The sidewall coring tool assembly also includes a coring bit coupled to the coring shaft at a second axial end of the coring shaft. The sidewall coring tool assembly further includes a static sleeve coupled to the coring motor and disposed radially within the internal cavity of the coring shaft.

  • Publication number: 20170284918
    Abstract: A method of monitoring characteristics of a viscosified fluid in a substantially continuous manner. Devices and techniques for such methods include use of an in-line Coriolis flowmeter to continuously circulate a portion of the viscosified fluid therein for analysis as the fluid may be directed to a blender for combining with a constituent such as proppant for forming a fracturing slurry. Devices and techniques herein allow for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the developing viscosified fluid and/or halting of the fracturing application depending on results of the ongoing monitoring.
