  • AXIS OFFSET CAM TOOL FOR REVERSE CIRCULATION EXPLORATION DRILLING SYSTEMS AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20170183912
    Abstract: An off-axis “cam” drilling tool is provided. The off-axis “cam” drilling tool includes an outer tubing having a throughbore therein, an inner tubing having a throughbore therein, the inner tubing being configured to be inserted within the throughbore of the outer tubing. An annulus is defined between the inner tubing and the throughbore of the outer tubing through which a medium may pass. A cam section can be configured on a portion of the exterior surface of the outer tubing. The outer tubing can be coupled to drill rods of a drill string. The cam section has an axis that is offset to an axis of the outer tubing, and the tool is configured to rotate about cam section axis to lift the drill rods coupled to the outer tubing above a centerline of a drill bore to beneficially orient the drill bit drilling the drill bore.
