Publication number: 20200063521Abstract: An expandable sleeve is used for providing support to an obturation member. The expandable sleeve and the obturation member form a hydraulic isolation in a casing. The expandable sleeve has preferably a small thickness or cross-section, which can allow for a large flow-through inner diameter after expansion. Also, the expandable sleeve is preferably short. Thus, mill-up operations that are performed when the expandable sleeve is no longer in use can be expedited or even eliminated in some cases.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Matthew Mark Godfrey, Gregory Marshall Noel, Matt Meiners, Eric James Connor

Patent number: 9670736Abstract: A bit body is configured at its upper extent for connection into a drillstring. At least one fixed blade extends downwardly from the bit body, and has a radially outermost gage surface. A plurality of fixed cutting elements is secured to the fixed blade, preferably in a row at its rotationally leading edge. At least one bit leg is secured to the bit body and a rolling cutter is mounted for rotation on the bit leg. At least one stabilizer pad is disposed between the bit leg and the fixed blade, the stabilizer pad extending radially outward to substantially the gage surface. The radially outermost gage surface of each blade can extend axially downward parallel to the bit axis or angled (non-parallel), spirally or helically, relative to the bit axis.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Anton F. Zahradnik, Ron D. McCormick, Rudolf C. Pessier, Jack T. Oldham, Michael S. Damschen, Don Q. Nguyen, Matt Meiners, Karlos B. Cepeda, Mark P. Blackman

Patent number: 7845435Abstract: A hybrid drill bit having both roller cones and fixed blades is disclosed, and a method of drilling. The cutting elements on the fixed blades form a continuous cutting profile from the perimeter of the bit body to the axial center. The roller cone cutting elements overlap with the fixed cutting elements in the nose and shoulder sections of the cutting profile between the axial center and the perimeter. The roller cone cutting elements crush and pre- or partially fracture formation in the confined and highly stressed nose and shoulder sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2008Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Anton F. Zahradnik, Rudolf Carl Pessier, Don Q. Nguyen, Michael Steven Damschen, Karlos B. Cepeda, Tim King Marvel, Matt Meiners

The roller cone cutting elements overlap with the fixed cutting elements in the nose and shoulder sections of the cutting profile between the axial center and the perimeter. The roller cone cutting elements crush and pre-fracture formation in the weak and highly stressed nose and shoulder sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Anton F.
