Title: Downhole vibration dampener (devibe) tool
Inventor: VRACAR JOVAN
IPC: E21B12/00
Filed: 2013-03-18
Abstract: Downhole Vibration Dampener (DeVibe) Tool is designed to reduce amount and amplitude of vibrations on the electronic probe seat and the electronic probe itself during the drilling process. Downhole Vibration Dampener (DeVibe) Tool uses a set of wire springs arranged in a specific pattern between the outer sub and the inner wash-pipe. Wire springs are fixed to outer sub and wash-pipe in pre-calculated pattern to provide maximum vibration dampening.  Such specific spring layout provides substantial vibrations dampening in axial, radial and torsional direction. An electronic probe placed within sub, wash-pipe and wire springs assembly is thus protected from the harmful effects of the vibrations caused by the drilling process and its lifetime is significantly extended.
