  • Patent number: 11702889
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of drilling a marine wellbore with fluid reverse circulation without using drilling riser tubulars. In reverse circulation drilling, the fluid return with gravels occurs inside the drill string (17) and the injection of clean fluid is done through the annular of the well, so that, having a rotating head over the BOP (19), or inside it, the use of riser tubulars as a flow line for the fluid return with gravels is disposed, using instead the drill string (17). For the kill and choke lines, as well as for fluid injection, rigid or flexible lines can be used, eliminating the need to use drilling risers, thus releasing large load capacity and space on the probe. The method of this invention also eliminates the need for large volumes of fluid to fill entire riser tubulars. The entire operation can be done without the need for subsea pumps or concentric columns.

  • Publication number: 20230119353
    Abstract: The present invention refers to the chemical composition of a wire for hardfacing tool joints of oil drilling pipes, known in the industry as hardbanding. This wire has in its microstructure the formation of graphite to reduce the coefficient of friction and maintain hardness, aiming to protect the drilling pipe and the well casing pipe.
