Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and a method for conveying and operating tools into a wellbore. In one aspect, a method of performing a downhole operation in a wellbore is provided. The method includes pushing a continuous rod into the wellbore, wherein the continuous rod includes a member disposed therein. The method further includes positioning the continuous rod proximate at a predetermined location in the wellbore and performing the downhole operation. In yet another aspect, a system for performing a downhole operation in a wellbore is provided.

Abstract: A compact, robust, wear resistant, and high performance electrically insulating gap sub for use with borehole EM Telemetry is disclosed. In one embodiment, the gap sub may include an externally threaded mandrel separated from an internally threaded housing by a dielectric material. Additionally, some embodiments may include an external gap ring for separating the upper and lower electrical halves of the sub which offers structural support, acts as the primary external seal, and provides an abrasion resistant non-conductive length on the exterior. Some embodiments may include torsion pins to prevent the possible unscrewing of the dielectric filled threaded sections should the dielectric material become damaged or weakened.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides methods and apparatus for reducing noise in a detected electromagnetic wave used to telemeter data during a wellbore operation. In one embodiment, two surface antennae are placed on opposite sides of the wellbore and at the same distance from the wellbore. The signals from the two antennae are summed to reduce the noise in the electromagnetic signal transmitted from the electromagnetic downhole tool.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cleaning a material by applying a cleaning composition having biosurfactants and enzymes to said carpet; and bonnet cleaning the material.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cleaning a material by applying a spot cleaning composition having biosurfactants and enzymes to said carpet, wherein said spray bottle maintains lubricant inside its piston and protected from the composition.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides a downhole tool with an improved means of transmitting data to and from the tool through the use of wired pipe capable of transmitting a signal and/or power between the surface of the well and any components in a drill string. In one aspect, a downhole tool includes a body, and a mandrel disposed in the body and movable in relation to the body. A conducive wire runs the length of the body and permits signals and/or power to be transmitted though the body as the tool changes its length.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture are provided for a configurable downhole tool. The downhole tool includes a plurality of devices each of which is configured for one or more functions. At some point during operation (e.g., during system initialization), the presence of each device disposed on the downhole tool is detected. Each device may then begin performing its respective function or functions. For example, some devices may be configured to collect environmental data while the tool is disposed in a wellbore. In one embodiment, the collected data is provided to a transceiver. The transceiver then transmits the data from the downhole tool to some remove receiving unit, which may be located at the surface of the wellbore.
