Abstract:
A bend adjustment assembly for a downhole mud motor includes a driveshaft housing, a driveshaft disposed in the driveshaft housing, a bearing mandrel, wherein the bend adjustment assembly includes a first position that provides a first deflection angle between a longitudinal axis of the driveshaft housing and a longitudinal axis of the bearing mandrel, wherein the bend adjustment assembly includes a second position that provides a second deflection angle between the longitudinal axis of the driveshaft housing and the longitudinal axis of the bearing mandrel, and an actuator assembly configured to shift the bend adjustment assembly between the first position and the second position in response to a change in at least one of flowrate of a drilling fluid supplied to the downhole mud motor, pressure of the drilling fluid supplied to the downhole mud motor, and relative rotation between the driveshaft housing and the bearing mandrel.

Claim (Index 10):
A bend adjustment assembly for a downhole mud motor, comprising:\n an offset housing comprising a first longitudinal axis, a first offset engagement surface concentric to a second longitudinal axis offset from the first longitudinal axis, and an arcuate extension concentric to the second longitudinal axis and defined by a first pair of circumferentially spaced shoulders; and an adjustment mandrel comprising a third longitudinal axis, a second offset engagement surface concentric to a fourth longitudinal axis offset from the third longitudinal axis, and a first arcuate groove concentric to the fourth longitudinal axis and defined by a second pair of circumferentially spaced shoulders, wherein the first offset engagement surface matingly engages the second offset engagement surface and the arcuate extension of the offset housing is disposed in the first arcuate groove of the adjustment mandrel; wherein the bend adjustment assembly includes a first position with a first shoulder of the first pair of shoulders contacting a first shoulder of the second pair of shoulders, and wherein the first position provides a first deflection angle between the first longitudinal axis of the offset housing and the third longitudinal axis of the adjustment mandrel; wherein the bend adjustment assembly includes a second position angularly spaced from the first position with a second shoulder of the first pair of shoulders contacting a second shoulder of the second pair of shoulders, and wherein the second position provides a second deflection angle between the first longitudinal axis of the offset housing and the third longitudinal axis of the adjustment mandrel that is different from the first deflection angle.
