Patent number: 11365594Abstract: A method for maintaining a constant bottom hole pressure during wellbore drilling operations, the method comprising supplying drilling fluid to the drill string via a top drive at a first pressure while flow of drilling fluid out of a wellbore annulus is restricted by a choke to hold pressure in a wellbore annulus and supplying drilling fluid to the drill string via the top drive at a second pressure lower than the first pressure and to a circulation coupler at a third pressure while flow of drilling fluid out of a wellbore annulus is restricted by a choke to hold pressure in the annulus, wherein the sum of the second and third pressures is approximately the same as the first pressure.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Blaine Dow, Zaurayze Tarique, Scott Coffey, Justin Cremer

Patent number: 9856713Abstract: A rotating flow head (RFH) has a housing having an internal bore with diameter substantially equal to that of a riser and at least one flow port proximate one longitudinal end thereof. First and second arrays of radially extensible and retractable locking elements are disposed circumferentially around the RFH housing. The RFH has a bearing assembly (BA) housing having an exterior diameter selected to fit within the internal bore of the RFH housing so as to provide an annular space therein. The BA housing engages one of the arrays of locking elements when extended. A mandrel is rotatably, sealingly supported within the BA housing. Another end of the BA housing and the other array of locking elements provide longitudinal force on the BA housing when the other array is extended. A seal element disposed in the annular space is energized by the longitudinal force applied to the BA housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2011Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: SMITH INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Zaurayze Tarique, George James Michaud

Publication number: 20170037690Abstract: A method for responding to an adverse fluid event such as a fluid gain or fluid loss event includes pumping a drilling fluid through a drilling system having a drill string and into a well bore. The drilling system also includes at least two pressure control components operatively coupled to the drill string. The bottom hole pressure of the well bore may be monitored. Once a fluid loss condition or a fluid gain condition is detected, a response for each of the at least two pressure control components to the fluid loss or fluid gain condition is determined. The responses for the at least two pressure control components are prioritized, and at least one of the pressure control components are adjusted to mitigate the adverse pressure condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2015Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Jesse Hardt, Zaurayze Tarique, Yawan Couturier, Blaine Dow

Patent number: 8210279Abstract: Methods and systems are for tripping pipe on a rig floor that is positioned over a well. A measuring device is operated to measure a length characteristic of a first drill pipe in a plurality of separated drill pipes. The length characteristic is inputted into a controller configured to control machinery to hoist the first drill pipe above the drill string, to connect the first drill pipe to the uppermost drill pipe in the drill string, and to operate the drill string to drill into the well. The controller is operated to calculate a first vertical position into which it is necessary to hoist the first drill pipe so that a predetermined clearance distance exists between the lower end of the first drill pipe and the upper end of the uppermost drill pipe in the drill string.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventor: Zaurayze Tarique

Publication number: 20110226530Abstract: Methods of adjusting a velocity at which a drill string is moved within a well are provided. One method includes adjusting the velocity at which the drill string is moved within the well based upon a hookload associated therewith. Another method includes adjusting the velocity at which the drill string is moved within the well based upon the actual velocity at which the drill string is moved within the well. Another method includes adjusting the velocity at which the drill string is moved within the well based upon the volume of fluid displaced by the drill string flowing from the well as it is lowered into the well.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2011Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventor: Zaurayze TARIQUE
