The drilling length is an important parameter in the process of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) exploration and recovery, but there has been a lack of accurate, automatically obtained statistics regarding this parameter. Herein, a technique for real-time HDD length detection and a management system based on the electromagnetic detection method with a microprocessor and two magnetoresistiv...

This paper details the online-identification-based adaptive design of a stick/slip minimization algorithm and top-drive servo control for Rotary Steerable System (RSS) directional drilling tools. Stick/slip in this context refers to the downhole angular velocity variation of the bit about a nominal value. The basic pole placement controller designs are SISO linear but recursively evaluated base...

Directional mode coupling in an asymmetric holey fiber coupler is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally for the first time. The holey fiber mode couplers have interesting spectral characteristics and are also found to exhibit increased dimensional tolerances. Following a design based on numerical investigations, a dual-core polymer holey fiber coupler for LP(01) and LP(11) mode multi...

In directional drilling, the most important thing that leads to pulling out the drill string is end of mud motor working life. Considering the working conditions of down hole mud motors; increasing the mechanical properties of their stator’s elastomer is crucial. Some attempts were done to increase the motor performance through geometrical changes but lack of material improvement is significant...

Abstract Directional drilling is a common and essential procedure of major extended reach operations. With the development directional technologies, percentage recoverable oil production has increased. However, its challenges, like real-time bit steering, tools selection control, are main barriers leading to low efficiency high nonproductive time. The fact inspires this study. Our work aims con...
