Systems and methods for downhole tubular cutting applications can include a cutting tool that with a cutting head, an anchor module, and a hydraulic module that actuates both. Arms of the anchor module open to an inner surface of a tube prior to blades of the cutting head opening to the inner surface. The blades can be operated by a piston. The piston can include a detent that travels across an actuation profile. This can allow a processor to track the cutting position. The processor can adjust the rotational speed of the blades based on feedback from the system.

Downhole tool for automatic tubular cutting

Systems and methods presented herein provide for cutting in a borehole or casing. A cutting device can include a first arm having a cutting blade, wherein the cutting blade has side cutting teeth and an axis of rotation that is substantially at a right angle with respect to an axis of the tool body. The cutting device can also include a second arm with a bumper. The first and second arms articulate away from the elongate body in different directions to reduce vibrations while cutting. A control device can automate the cut based on hydraulic pressure measurements. Additionally, the cutting device can also be extended or rotated on a rotary index. The cutting device can rotate around a J slot, in an example.

Cutting tool and controls for downhole mechanical services

Devices, systems and methods for cutting openings in a wellbore tubular by a slot cutting assembly having an anchoring system and a slot cutting tool. The anchoring assembly anchors the slot cutting assembly within the wellbore. The slot cutting tool has an extendable cutting blade that is pushed into the wellbore tubular to cut an opening through the tubular. The slot cutting tool may have an extendable stabilizing arm to stabilize and assist with cutting by the blade. The slot cutting assembly may have azimuth and depth sensors to assist with positioning the tool at a desired position downhole. A surface system may be used to control the position of the slot cutting assembly downhole.

Slot cutter system and operations

An electrical instrument swivel connector has a first housing part and a second housing part rotatably connected to each other. The connection enabling transfer of axial loading between the housing parts. A first insulator body is rotatably engaged with a second insulator body and respectively sealingly engageable with an interior surface of the first housing part and the second housing part. Electrical contact pins are formed into the first insulator body and the second insulator body. The electrical contact pins each terminate in a separate electrical contact wherein the first insulator body rotatably engages the second insulator body. A biased electrical contact is disposed between each respective separate electrical contact in the first insulator body and the second insulator body.
