  • Publication number: 20250129702
    Abstract: A method for steering a downhole tool to drill a wellbore in a subterranean formation includes receiving an initial wellbore plan for the downhole tool to drill through the subterranean formation. The method also includes receiving drilling data while the downhole tool is drilling through the subterranean formation using the initial wellbore plan. The method also includes comparing the initial wellbore plan to the drilling data. The method also includes determining a downlink command to transmit to the downhole tool based upon or in response to the comparison. The method also includes determining an importance of the downlink command based upon the comparison. The method also includes determining a time to transmit the downlink command to the downhole tool. The time is determined based upon the importance of the downlink command. The method also includes transmitting the downlink command to the downhole tool at the determined time.

  • Publication number: 20240328169
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a clamping device for ventilated facades comprising a plurality of panels (3) and at least two upper clamping features (9) for each panel (3), wherein the upper clamping features (9) comprise an upper main body (11) and a first flange (12) extending from the upper main body (11), wherein the first flange (12) is linkable to a lower edge (6) of a panel (3) of another adjacent row and is intended to be attached to the upright profile (1). The level of insulation of the facade against the entry of water from the outside into the insulation layer behind the panels is thus improved by allowing the use of panels that overlap their adjacent panels by means of double-fold flanges and that describe geometries that create areas for water collection and channeling.
