Latest Patents
Prevedel holds a patent for "Directional drilling methods and apparatus." This invention provides methods for controlling the direction of a borehole drilled by a downhole motor. The process includes positioning a downhole adjustable bent housing and a near-bit stabilizer in the drill string. By adjusting the bent housing from its normally straight condition to a bent condition, the borehole curvature can be effectively managed. The invention also allows for the inclination to be measured and telemetered uphole for processing, display, and recording. This technology eliminates the need to superimpose rotation of the deflected drill string, allowing for more precise drilling paths.
