IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2017-11-21
Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses to aid with directional drilling through a subterranean formation are described. A model is provided that is indicative of: (i) one or more frictional forces at one or more contact points of the BHA and a wall of a non-linear borehole through a subterranean formation, (ii) one or more internal torques of the BHA between the one or more contact points, and (iii) one or more internal torques of the drillstring between the one or more contact points. Based on the model, a toolface severity is determined for the drilling system, the toolface severity corresponding to a change in angular deflection for a change in applied weight-on-bit (WOB) of the BHA. A design is selected for the drilling system based on a comparison of the toolface severity to another toolface severity for a different design. Drilling may be performed by a drilling system having a bottomhole assembly (BHA) optimized to reduce fluctuations in toolface orientation along a non-linear borehole.

Abstract: A cylindrical concrete specimen splitting device comprises a lead screw sliding rail system 1, a base 2, a specimen positioning system 3, a splitting system 4 and control switches 5. Screw sliding rail system 1 is mounted at the back end of the base while the specimen positioning system is mounted at the front end of the base and is mounted on the lead screw sliding rail system 1, and the control switches 5 are mounted on the left side of the lead screw sliding rail system 1. Rail system 1 comprises screw (1.1, Fig 2), column guide rail (1.2), rotary plate (1.3), limiting nut (1.4), slider (1.5) and fastening bolts (1.6, Fig 3). Positioning system 3 has a lower blade (3.1, Fig 4), positioning screws (3.2), cushioning rubber pads (3.3), base plate (3.4), baffle (3.5) and push rod (3.6). An associated splitting method by setting a minimum cutting edge space between an upper blade (4.6, Fig 5) and a lower blade (3.1)is described. Use of the device allows for a cylindrical concrete specimen to be stably and centrally placed, so that the axial section of the split specimen is flat and intact, and is also vertical to the upper lower surfaces of the specimen. This is especially necessary when utilising such a specimen when testing the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient (RCM) for example.
