Mud pulser and method for operating thereof
A pulser for generating pressure pulses propagating through a column of drilling fluid in the drill string to the surface during drilling. The pulser may include a screen in the surface of a tubular housing to permit mud from the mud stream to enter into the pulser; an adjustable servo valve configured to receive the mud and including a removable servo poppet and a removable servo orifice member positioned in the tubular housing, wherein the adjustable servo valve is configured to allow the removable servo poppet and the removable servo orifice member to be replaced by another removable servo poppet and another removable servo orifice member to alter an inner diameter of an orifice of the adjustable servo valve to accommodate drilling conditions to increase a performance of the pulser generating pressure pulses for the mud stream returning to the surface.

Ruggedized bidirectional cutting system
A ruggedized bidirectional cutting system with an outer wear band having a first blade-free fitting section engaging within the drill string and a first cutting section integral with the first blade-free fitting section. The first cutting section has a plurality of blades, each blade with two cutting portions extending at defined cutting angles and a blade cutting portion extending at a third angle from the longitudinal axis different from the first and second angles. Each blade has cutting inserts. A plurality of flutes are formed between pairs of blades to stabilizes and protects bottom hole equipment while a wellbore completes directional drilling objectives.
Integrated Piling Tool with Continuous Drilling and Circulation Pouring
An integrated piling tool with continuous drilling and circulation pouring includes a power connector, a circulation device, a drill assembly, a bottom clearing and a pouring mechanism. The circulation device includes a circulating drill barrel and a spiral piece, and it achieves cuttings removal continuously; the two ends of the circulating drill barrel are connected with the power connector and the drill assembly, respectively. The drill assembly includes a drill body, a connecting sleeve B, transmission parts, a drill tool holder and drilling teeth, and the drill assembly accomplish rock breaking and rotary excavation. The clearing mechanism includes a linkage and clearing blades to remove cuttings at bottom hole. The pouring mechanism includes pouring channels and control parts to achieve continuous concrete pouring. The invention provides a new integrated piling tool with continuous drilling and circulation pouring, which improves the efficiency of piling, circulation and pouring.

Downhole cleaning apparatus
A downhole cleaning apparatus (10) comprising a tubular body (12). The tubular body (12) comprises comprising a plurality of openings (20) therethrough. Each opening (20) defines at least part of a helix extending longitudinally and circumferentially about the tubular body (12). The downhole cleaning apparatus (10) also includes a plurality of cleaning elements (22). Each cleaning element (22) is configured to extend through an opening (20) and to extend outwards from an outer surface of the tubular body (12). The cleaning elements (22) are distributed about the tubular body (12) and each cleaning element (22) defines at least part of a helix extending longitudinally and circumferentially about the tubular body. The openings (20) and the cleaning elements (22) are grouped to define a plurality of substantially continuous helical paths (18). Each helical path (18) extends substantially end to end of the tubular body and the helical paths (18) are distributed relative to each other to define a cleaning surface of at least 360 degrees.
