Title: Innovations by Gordon Stewart in Drilling Technology
Introduction
Gordon Stewart is an accomplished inventor based in Forrestfield, Australia. He has made significant contributions to the field of drilling technology, particularly with his innovative measurement systems. His work focuses on enhancing drilling efficiency and monitoring the performance of drill rigs.
Latest Patents
Gordon Stewart holds a patent for a system designed to measure the rate of penetration (ROP) during drilling operations. This system includes a sensor apparatus mounted on a drill rig that detects the advancement of drilling. The sender transmits data to a receiver, which may utilize a reflector to enhance signal transmission. The electronic sub can incorporate the sender, receiver, or reflector, allowing for versatile configurations. The system employs LIDAR/laser and MEMS mirror technology for distance measurement and space mapping. Additionally, it features a releasable attachment to the drill rig, which can be achieved using magnets. The system is capable of detecting atmospheric or barometric pressure changes, which can be used to determine the distance moved. Key parameters such as weight on bit (WOB), revolutions per minute (RPM), torque, and time rate of progress can be measured and combined with distance moved data to assess drill bit wear. Near real-time ROP measurements can be calculated, displayed, and reported, enabling operators to determine drilling efficiency and identify premature drill wear or changes in rock conditions.
