  • Intelligent RCD system
    Patent number: 10781657
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a plurality of signals from a plurality of sensors into a programmable logic controller, the plurality of sensors provided on at least one component of a rotating control device assembly of a drilling system, providing measurement data from the plurality of signals using the programmable logic controller, and processing the measurement data using a modeling software to determine at least one condition of the rotating control device assembly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Jesse Alan Hardt, Zaurayze Tarique, Yawan Couturier, Blaine Dow, Walter Benson, Charles H Kamps, III
  • Proportional control of rig drilling mud flow
    Patent number: 10683715
    Abstract: A system includes a mud pump for pumping a drilling mud from a drilling mud source, through a drill string, out a drill bit and into an annular, and a plurality of chokes disposed down stream from the mud pump, including a first choke disposed between the mud pump and the drill string, and a second choke disposed between the mud pump and a mud tank. The system further includes a fluid discharge conduit in fluid communication with the annular space for transferring the drilling mud to handling equipment in fluid communication with the mud tank. The first choke receives the drilling mud from the mud pump at a first flow rate, the first choke reduces drilling mud flow rate to a second flow rate less than the first flow rate, and the second choke reduces drilling mud flow rate to a third flow rate.
