A method and system for inspecting casings in a wellbore to determine a mechanical or sealing quality of casing connections. Casing connections may become mechanically weak or start to leak after some period of use in harsh conditions. A radial array of ultrasound transducers images the casing in-situ to create an ultrasound image, which is analyzed to detect the casing connector then analyzed a sealing band of the connector. Machine learning and image processing methods may be used to analyze the images.

A downhole fluid analysis device includes a piezoelectric helm resonator, a spectroscopy sensor positioned symmetrically with respect to the piezoelectric helm resonator in at least one direction, and a circuit comprising a first terminal and a second terminal electrically coupled to a power supply. The piezoelectric helm resonator and the spectroscopy sensor are electrically coupled in parallel between the first and second terminals. The power supply drives the piezoelectric helm resonator with a voltage of a first polarity and the spectroscopy sensor with a voltage of a second polarity. The circuit includes at least one current flow control device in the circuit configured to prevent both the piezoelectric helm resonator and the spectroscopy sensor from being powered simultaneously.

A system for centering a reinforcing member within a drilled shaft/bore hole includes a first cage member and a second cage member. The first cage member is operable to surround a first half of the reinforcing member. The second cage member is operable to surround a second half of the reinforcing member. The second cage member is operably connected to the first cage member, and the first and second cage members have identical shapes.

A service tool that may be inserted into a tubular, the service tool includes an anchoring system. The anchoring system includes a body having a first end, a second end, and an opening extending along a portion of the body between the first end and the second end and a gripping assembly housed within and coupled to the body. The gripping assembly may anchor at least a portion of the service tool to the tubular, and the gripping assembly includes a plurality of anchor arms disposed within the opening and that may move relative to the body. The anchoring system also includes an actuator disposed within a central bore of the body and coupled to the gripping assembly. The actuator may apply a first axial input force in a first direction and a second axial input force in a second direction opposite the first direction to the gripping assembly, At least a portion of the gripping assembly translocates relative to the body in the first direction in response to the first axial input force to position the plurality of anchor arms in a radially expanded anchoring configuration, and the portion of the gripping assembly translocates relative to the body in the second direction in response to the second axial input force to position the plurality of anchor arms in a radially contracted configuration.

A drilling tool for use in a wellbore comprises a first collar having a first bore extending from a first send to a second end and an internal thread disposed on the bore at the second end. The drilling tool also comprises a second collar having a second bore extending from a third end to a fourth end and an external thread disposed on the third end. The third end is coupled to the second end of the first collar. A first set of components is housed within the first bore and a second set of components is housed on a sidewall of the second collar formed between the second bore and an outer surface of the second collar.

A multi-string section milling tool has a longitudinally extending tubular body with mill carriers carrying hardened cutters that pivotally extend from a mill window in the tubular body by upward movement of a drive plunger. A downwardly biased piston mounted to the upper end of a flow tube is slidably inserted through a stationary thimble below the piston. The lower end of the flow tube is attached to a drive plunger which is pivotally attached to drive yoke links pivotally attached the mill carriers. The piston and thimble creates a pressure chamber in the milling tool. Fluid pressure in the pressure chamber moves the piston, flow tube and drive plunger upward to pivotally extend the drive yoke links and mill carriers radially outward through the mill window. Cessation of fluid pressure in the pressure chamber retracts the mill carriers.

A production logging tool (1) comprising an elongated cylindrical body (10) of longitudinal axis (XX′), the body (10) carrying an articulated dual arms deploying arrangement (12), at least one arm carrying at least one sensor (16, 16A, 16B) to analyze at least one property of a multiphase fluid mixture (MF) flowing in a hydrocarbon well (2), said sensor (16, 16A, 16B) extending along a sensor axis (SS′), the articulated dual arms deploying arrangement (12) comprising two deploying arms (13A, 13B) and a sliding sleeve (19), the deploying arms (13A, 13B) being operable from a retracted configuration into a vertically extended configuration, the deploying arms (13A, 13B) being coupled together through an outermost end hinge (17) at outermost ends of said deploying arms (13A, 13B), one arm (13A) being coupled to a first end part of the body through a first hinge (23A) at another deploying arm end, and the other arm (13B) being coupled to a second end part of the body through a sliding sleeve hinge (26) at the sliding sleeve (19) at another deploying arm end, wherein the articulated dual arms deploying arrangement (12) further comprises a pantographic mechanism (14) arranged such that the sensor axis (SS′) stays substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (XX′) for any opening of the deploying arms (13A, 13B) from the retracted configuration to the vertically extended configuration.

A modular anti-rotation device for preventing rotation with respect to the central axis of a drilling tool in a borehole and for producing a notch in a borehole surface. The anti-rotation device includes an upper fixture portion and a lower fixture portion in axial alignment. The upper fixture portion and the lower fixture portion are connected by yoke assemblies. Each yoke assembly is connected to the fixture portion and fixture portion at one end, and forming an articulated joint of the upper yoke assembly and the lower yoke assembly at a distal end opposite the first end. A roller is connected at each joint, connecting the upper and lower yoke assemblies. The rollers engage vertically with a borehole surface, the rollers travelling axially, as a drill shaft penetrates into the borehole, the rollers simultaneously preventing radial movement of the anti-rotation device and prevent rotation with respect to the central axis of the borehole.

A centralizing device is configured to centralize/decentralize an associated tool in a well. The centralizing device includes a body that extends along a longitudinal axis X, the body having a bore that extends from one end to another end of the body; a first piston shaped as a cylinder and provided around a central portion of the body; a second piston shaped as a cylinder and provided around the central portion of the body; a bridge provided around the central portion of the body, between the first and second pistons; and a pair of arms, each arm being attached with one end to a corresponding one of the first and second pistons and with another end to each other. The second piston, the bridge, and the central portion of the body define a sealed chamber, which is sealed from the ambient.
