Patent number: 10113397Abstract: A propulsion generator which employs one or more unbalanced rotors, such as fly wheels or other unbalance rotating members, which can be connected at a lower portion of a downhole coiled tubing string or other downhole tubular string for inducing propulsion of the coiled tubing. The unbalanced rotors may be oriented at different positions with respect to each other. The instantaneous fluid flow through the propulsion generator is substantially equivalent to the average fluid flow rate through the tool to provide relatively consistent fluid flow to downhole motors below the propulsion generator for operating the drill bit and/or cutters.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Coil Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Marvin A.

Patent number: 9121224Abstract: A vibrational tool with tool axis rotational mass and method is disclosed, which may be utilized to assist in lowering a drill string into a wellbore. A reciprocating member and rotatable mass are mounted within a vibrational tool housing. A plurality of curved passageways are positioned to induce rotation in response to fluid flow through the tool housing. As the rotatable mass rotates, a mechanical interconnection causes the reciprocating member to reciprocate, and results in vibrational forces for moving a bottom hole assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: CNPC USA Corp.Inventor: Marvin A Gregory

Patent number: 9121225Abstract: A vibration system for drill bit housing and method is disclosed, which may be utilized to assist in lowering a drill string into a wellbore through which drilling fluid is pumped. In one embodiment, a drill bit housing contains a symmetrical rotatable member positioned to rotate in response to drilling fluid pumped through the housing, whereby a mechanical interconnection connected to the rotatable member produces vibrations within the drill bit housing for advancing bottom hole assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: CNPC USA Corp.Inventor: Marvin A Gregory

Patent number: 9033067Abstract: A vibrational tool and method is disclosed, which may be utilized to assist in lowering a drill string into a wellbore. In one embodiment, a reciprocating member and a symmetrical rotating member are mounted within a vibrational tool housing. The reciprocating member is urged in one embodiment by a spring assembly toward the rotating member whereby engagement surfaces on the reciprocating member and rotating member encounter each other. As the rotating member rotates, variable surfaces on the engagement surface cause the reciprocating member to reciprocate as the variable surfaces follow or cam with respect to each other during rotation. The resistance to rotation by engagement surfaces and spring assembly, and mass of the rotating member, result in vibrational forces, when drilling fluid flows through the vibration tool housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: CNPC USA Corp.Inventor: Marvin A Gregory

Patent number: 7059429Abstract: The present invention provides a drilling assembly and method that is especially useful for a bottom hole drilling assembly for drilling a borehole through an earth formation. In one embodiment, the drilling assembly is preferably comprised of a tungsten alloy which is sufficiently plastic to be able to withstand the bending, torsional, and compressive stresses which occur in a bottom hole drilling assembly. The tungsten alloy weight section may be axially moveable with respect to an outer tubular and when mounted within the bottom hole assembly, acts to place the outer tubular in tension to provide a stiffer bottom hole assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2004Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Strataloc Technology Products, LLCInventors: Bruce L. Taylor, Richard A. Nichols, Larry G. Palmer, Marvin Gregory
