Latest Patents
One of Doug Kinsella's latest patents is for the selective activation of a motor in a downhole assembly. This invention provides a method for selectively activating a motor within a drilling string. The downhole assembly includes a stator and a rotor assembly, where the rotor body features a fluid passage that allows drilling fluid to bypass the motor when no blocking implement is retained. Conversely, when a blocking implement is in place, the fluid flows into the motor, activating it.
Another significant patent is for an on-bottom downhole bearing assembly. This assembly includes a reactive portion and a fluid restrictor portion, which are operatively coupled by a mandrel. The fluid restrictor portion features a piston valve component that generates fluid pressure variations, causing axial movement. The reactive portion comprises an oscillation assembly that responds to the movement of the mandrel, applying force to enhance the assembly's performance.
