  • Patent number: 10738547
    Abstract: A borehole tool, having a cylindrical body, the cylindrical body having an upper shank, a lower shank, and a component tool disposed between the upper shank and the lower shank, wherein the tool is configured to have an outer surface airfoil configuration, whereby lift is created as fluid passes along the cylindrical body. The component tool can be a combination stabilizer tool, a reamer tool and a cutting removal tool, wherein the stabilizer tool is configured as a helical stabilizing blade and reamer blade, a flow path disposed between the helices of the stabilizing and reamer blade, the stabilizing and reamer blade further comprising a reamer cutting element disposed where an edge of the stabilizing and reamer blade meets the flow path.

  • Publication number: 20130147633
    Abstract: Data associated with drilling operations, downhole components, wellbores, or well formations can be acquired by providing one or more data acquisition modules having one or more sensors into one or more recessed chambers formed within a drill bit, stabilizer reamer, or other downhole tool, enabling direct rather than inferential data to be obtained for analysis. The modules can be programmed with pre-selected trigger thresholds, such that data acquisition is initiated when certain conditions are met, and can be interchanged with other types of modules at the surface.
