CENTRALIZER
A simple centralizer, comprising a mandrel extending between box couplings, a rotor receiving surface between the box couplings, a shoulder on the mandrel defining a first end of the rotor receiving surface; and a collar receiving surface on a second end of the rotor receiving surface. The collar receiving surface may be unthreaded. In use, a collar is press fit on to the collar receiving surface.
BOTTOMHOLE ASSEMBLY (BHA) STABILIZER OR REAMER POSITION ADJUSTMENT METHODS AND SYSTEMS EMPLOYING A COST FUNCTION
A system that includes a drillstring with a bottomhole assembly (BHA). The system also includes at least one stabilizer or reamer integrated with the BHA, wherein each of the at least one stabilizer or reamer includes a position adjustment assembly. The system also includes a processing unit that provides control signals to each position adjustment assembly, wherein the control signals are based on a cost function.

Downhole Tool
A downhole tool, comprising: a mandrel having first and second opposing ends and an outer mounting surface, the first end comprising a male threaded portion; a tool component mountable on the mounting surface by sliding said tool component onto the mounting surface from the first end of the mandrel; and a load sleeve defining a torque shoulder, wherein the load sleeve is mountable on the mandrel and securable adjacent the male threaded portion of the first end of the mandrel such that the torque shoulder and the male threaded portion define a pin connector to facilitate connection with a box connector of a separate component.

Deploying Material to Limit Losses of Drilling Fluid in a Wellbore
Bottom hole assemblies with a combined roller-underreamer assembly can include: a body configured to be attached to a drill pipe; an uphole ring attached to the body; a downhole ring attached to the body between the uphole ring and the downhole end of the body; a sliding ring mounted around the body between the uphole ring and the downhole ring; a set tube slidably mounted around the body between the uphole ring and the sliding ring; a reamer assembly with at least one first articulated arm with extending between the uphole ring and the downhole end of the set tube; and a roller assembly with: at least one second articulated arm extending between the uphole end of the set tube and the sliding ring; and a rolling positioned at a joint of each second articulated arm.
Deploying Material to Limit Losses of Drilling Fluid in a Wellbore
Bottom hole assemblies for deploying fabric can include: a body configured to be attached to a drill pipe; a control tube disposed inside the body at a position controlled by engagement of a cam with a continuous guide path; a set tube, the set tube and the body together defining a pressure chamber with the body defining an inlet port extending between the interior cavity and pressure chamber, the set tube movable between a rolling position and a reaming position; a reamer assembly with at least one first articulated arm with extending between first attachment point on the body and the set tube; and a roller assembly with: at least one second articulated arm extending between the set tube and a second attachment point on the body; and a roller positioned at a joint of each second articulated arm.
Wellbore Reamer
A wellbore roller-reamer comprises a mandrel rotatable about a mandrel axis, and a first roller mounted around the mandrel and having an outer reaming surface for engaging a wall of a wellbore. The first roller is rotatable relative to the mandrel about a first roller axis which is offset from the mandrel axis such that, during use, rotation of the mandrel with the outer reaming surface engaged with a wall of the wellbore causes the first roller to be driven to rotate relative to the mandrel and ream the wall of the wellbore.

Well bore conditioner and stabilizer
A drill string stabilizer for use in a well bore includes a tubular body with a stabilizer axis, a first roller including a first roller axis spaced apart from the stabilizer axis of the tubular body, and at least a second roller spaced longitudinally apart from the first roller, the at least a second roller including a second roller axis spaced apart from the stabilizer axis of the tubular body. The first roller is angularly offset from the at least the second roller around a circumference of the tubular body.
