Latest Patents

Simon is associated with 1 patent, titled “Spatial Characterization of Dysfunction in Downhole Systems.” The patent describes methods and systems for determining how vibrational dysfunction, including high-frequency torsional oscillation (HFTO), varies along a drilling system’s bottom-hole assembly (BHA).

The disclosed approaches use measurements of variables such as vibration amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and the axial position of the first vibrational node. One embodiment uses amplitude and frequency measurements from two sensors positioned at different points along the BHA. Another uses a single sensor’s measurements together with an estimated position of the first vibrational node.

Career Highlights

Simon’s identified patent reflects work on monitoring and analyzing vibration in downhole drilling equipment. By describing ways to characterize dysfunction from a limited set of measurements, the invention addresses the practical challenge of locating and understanding vibration behavior along a BHA.
