Patent number: 11952842Abstract: A well tool includes a first component, a second component having a passage for receiving the first component, and an anchor assembly. The anchor assembly includes at least one anchor positioned on the first component that is received by at least one profile formed on an inner surface defining the passage of the second component. Either or both of the at least one profile and the at least one anchor include a ramp section that has a ramp contour defined by a ramp tangent. The ramp tangent forms an acute angle with a longitudinal axis of the borehole. A related method includes the steps of forming at least one profile in the second component, the at least one profile including a ramped section; disposing at least one anchor in the first component; and lowering the first component relative to the second component until the first anchor and the first profile align the first component and the second component in a predetermined relative alignment.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Heiko Eggers, Henning Melles

Patent number: 11499420Abstract: Methods and systems for generating pulses in drilling fluid are described. The methods include driving rotation of a rotor relative to a stator of a pulser assembly in an oscillatory manner. The oscillatory manner includes rotating an obstructing element from a middle position to a first blocking angle position and rotating the obstructing element from the first blocking angle position to a second blocking angle position such that selective obstruction occurs. Rotation of the at least one obstructing element selectively obstructs a stator flow passage when drilling fluid is flowing through the drill string to generate a pressure pulse in the drilling fluid and the oscillatory manner is an oscillation of the obstructing element between the first blocking angle position and the second blocking angle position such that a single oscillation is between two obstructed states of the stator flow passage.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: BAKER HUGHES OILFIELD OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Volker Peters, Detlef Hahn, Heiko Eggers, Heige Brand

Patent number: 11459828Abstract: An apparatus for drilling a directional wellbore is disclosed that in one non-limiting embodiment includes a drive for rotating a drill bit, a deflection device that enables a lower section of the drilling assembly to tilt about a member of the deflection device within a selected plane when the drilling assembly is substantially rotationally stationary to allow drilling of a curved section of the wellbore when the drill bit is rotated by the drive and wherein the tilt is reduced when the drilling assembly is rotated to allow drilling of a straighter section of the wellbore, and a tilt sensor that provides measurements relating to tilt of the lower section. A controller determines a parameter of interest relating to the tilt for controlling drilling of the directional wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, LLCInventors: Volker Peters, Andreas Peter, Christian Fulda, Heiko Eggers, Harald Grimmer
