Title: Steerable rotary drill bit with reamers
Inventor: HUTTON RICHARD
IPC: E21B10/32
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: A directional drilling assembly includes a rotary pilot bit 17 and directional cutting members 16 radially movable with respect to the longitudinal axis of the drilling assembly, movement of which acts to alter the direction of drilling. The directional cutting members 16 also act as reamers to enlarge the borehole. Steering is achieved by moving the directional cutting members 16 radially as the drill is rotated so that the radial position of the cutting members 16 is synchronised with rotation of the drill bit so that the cutting members continuously engage the wall of the pilot hole to enlarge the borehole. This causes the cross section of the borehole to form a non-circular hole superimposed on the pilot hole when it is desired to cause alteration of the direction of drilling.

Title: A method for economic evaluation of completion methods for drilling a well
Inventor: CHITTY GREG
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2007-09-21
Abstract: The method compares completing using overbalanced and underbalanced techniques by analysis of reservoir data and parameters for both overbalanced and underbalanced techniques to generate respective skin factors for each. An economic model is then run using the skin factors and a report is generated indicating the economic impact of completing using either the underbalanced or overbalanced techniques. An extensive user interface is preferably provided for inputting of reservoir data and parameters relating to a first completion method. A rigorous first skin factor is generated based on the reservoir data and first drilling parameters. An interface is also preferably provided for entering cost data related to the first completion technique and a first total cost can be generated. Production data is optionally generated from the first skin factor. The production and cost data can then be combined to generate an economic analysis of the first completion technique. The process can be repeated for alternate completion techniques. Preferably, ranges can be entered for certain reservoir and/or cost variables. Multiple iterations can be performed on the ranges resulting in total cost and production ranges which can be combined to yield ranges of economic data for statistical analysis. This results in a user being able to choose the most advantageous completion method.

Abstract: A vehicle (10) having a braking system comprising a braking demand input device (30) which is operable by a driver to generate a braking demand signal indicative of the level of vehicle braking required, an electronic braking control unit (32) which receives an electrical input signal representative of the level of vehicle braking indicated by the braking demand signal and which generates an appropriate brake operation output signal for transmission to at least one brake actuator assembly (34, 38), transmission of a brake operation output signal to a brake actuator assembly (34, 38) causing a brake to operate to apply a braking force to the vehicle (10). The vehicle (10) also comprises a switch (40) which is connected to the electronic braking control unit (32) and which is operable to transmit a signal to the electronic braking control unit (32) which causes the electronic braking control unit (32) to transmit a brake operation output signal to the brake actuator assembly (34, 38), the brake operation signal causing the brake actuator assembly (34, 38) to apply a low level braking force to the vehicle (10), characterised in that the braking system is further configured such that during the application of the low level braking force, operation of the braking demand input device causes the electronic braking control unit (32) to modify the brake operation signal so as to increase the braking force by a predetermined amount. The invention allows a low level of braking force to be applied to counteract the reactionary force from tipping contents from a dumper truck.

Title: Managing fetch and store requests in a cache pipeline
Inventor: JACOBI CHRISTIAN
IPC: G06F12/0855
Filed: 2008-12-10
Abstract: In a cache accessed under the control of a cache pipeline (14), store requests are managed in a store queue (10) and read requests are managed in a read queue (12), respectively, and prioritization logic (18) decides if a read request or a write request is to be forwarded to the cache pipeline (14). The prioritization logic (62) aborts a store request that has started if a fetch request arrives within a predetermined store abort window and grants cache access to the arrived fetch request. When the fetch request no longer requires the input stage of the cache pipeline, a control mechanism repeats the access control of the aborted store request for a further trial to access the pipeline (14). Preferably, the store abort window spans 3 to 7 cycles, preferably 4 or 5 cycles, and starts after 2 to 4 cycles, preferably 3 cycles.
