Drilling-slitting-sealing-fracturing device and method for a deep low-permeability gassy coal seam
A deep low-permeability gassy seam drilling-slitting-sealing-fracturing drilling device includes a drilling control system, a high-pressure water power system, a water pressure grading control system and a fracturing and sealing control system. The drilling control system adjusts a drilling direction a water supply pressure of the drill rod, the high-pressure water power system supplies high-pressure water with different pressures to the device, and the water pressure grading control system ensures that a water pressure for flushing drill cuttings is less than 5 MPa, a water pressure for slitting in a direction perpendicular to a length of the drill rod is 25-35 MPa, a water pressure for sealing with a borehole sealing capsule is 35-40 MPa, and a water pressure for further pressure relief and permeability increasing of a coal seam is 40-50 MPa. The fracturing and sealing control system controls borehole sealing and hydrofracturing operations.

SUBSEA SLANTED WELLHEAD SYSTEM AND BOP SYSTEM WITH DUAL INJECTOR HEAD UNITS
A wellbore intervention tool conveyance system includes an upper pipe injector disposed in a pressure tight housing. The upper injector has a seal element engageable with a wellbore intervention tool and disposed below the injector. The upper housing has a coupling at a lower longitudinal end. A lower pipe injector is disposed in a pressure tight housing, the lower housing has well closure elements disposed above the lower pipe injector. The lower housing is configured to be coupled at a lower longitudinal end to a subsea wellhead. The lower housing is configured to be coupled at an upper longitudinal end to at least one of (i) a spacer spool disposed between the upper pipe injector housing and the lower pipe injector housing, and (ii) the lower longitudinal end of the upper pipe injector housing.
Carriage for a displacement hammer for positioning the displacement hammer in a launch pit, drilling system with a displacement hammer and a carriage for positioning the displacement hammer in a launch pit and a method for positioning a displacement hammer in a launch pit
A framework for a displacement hammer is configured for positioning the displacement hammer in a launch pit. The framework has two holding fixtures, each holding fixture having a clamp. The clamps and the holding fixtures can be moved independently from each other.
Automatic drilling hoist speed
A method automatically for adjusting the hoist speed of a drill is disclosed. The method includes determining the mast angle of the drilling implement relative to a work surface, and changing the hoisting speed of the drill implement depending on the mast angle.
Slant drill rig tong cart
A drill rig tong cart is disclosed. The tong cart can include a base portion configured to interface with a drill rig. In addition, the tong cart can include a tong carriage supported by the base portion and configured to interface with a tong for coupling and uncoupling tubulars. The tong carriage can be movable relative to the base portion to alternately position the tong in an engaged position and a disengaged position relative to the tubulars.
Displaying steering response with uncertainty in a heat map ellipse
A computer-implemented method including receiving a steering command identifying a tool face orientation in which the steering command is expected to produce an intended steering response of an intended drilling trajectory. The method further includes receiving an actual steering response result of the steering command in which the actual steering response result identifies an actual drilling trajectory. The method further includes storing a dataset comparing the actual steering response result in relation to the intended steering response, determining an uncertainty level of the tool face orientation based on the stored dataset, and outputting a visual representation of steering response with the uncertainty level.
