MAGNETIC COUPLING TO TRANSFER TORQUE ACROSS HERMETIC CHAMBER WALLS

Systems and methods for providing power to a device of a downhole tool within a subterranean well during production operations include an energy harvesting system located within a tubular. The energy harvesting system has a turbine assembly with a turbine rotary member rotating relative to a turbine housing. A turbine magnetic array has a plurality of turbine magnets arranged in a ring shape. A power generator assembly has an input shaft assembly operable to provide a rotational energy to a power generator. A generator magnetic array of the input shaft assembly has a plurality of generator magnets arranged in a ring shape. A turbine sleeve surrounds the input shaft assembly, and forms a sealed barrier between the input shaft assembly and the turbine assembly. The turbine sleeve is formed entirely of a non-magnetic material.

HYDRAULIC MOTOR FOR A DRILLING SYSTEM
20190195021 · 2019-06-27 · ·

The invention relates to a hydraulic motor (2), comprising a cylindrical motor housing (201) with a central cylindrical rotor (202) carrying longitudinal vanes (208), wherein the vanes (208) are provided at the outer surface of the rotor (202) in such a manner that they can protrude into an annular space between the housing (201) and the rotor (202) in order to create a circumferential driving force on the rotor, wherein the housing (201) comprises inwards pointing salient cams (210) on its inner surface, which separate the annular space between the housing (201) and the rotor (202) into several hydraulic chambers (211) with at least one inlet (212) and at least one outlet (213) for a hydraulic medium, and the vanes (208) can swing around a longitudinal axis that is mostly parallel to the rotation axis of the rotor (202) into the hydraulic chambers (211). The invention further relates to the use of such a hydraulic motor in a drilling system, and a drilling system with such a hydraulic motor.

Improved Reversible Pump-Turbine Installation

The present invention is a reversible pump-turbine installation position in a vertical shaft instead of in a conventional underground powerhouse or deep concrete powerhouse. The required plant cavitation coefficient may be achieved by simply boring a vertical shaft to the required depth rather than routing the water flow to and from a deeply buried powerhouse. A pneumatically controlled pressure relief valve may be incorporated into this invention.

Method and apparatus to manufacture a progressive cavity motor or pump

A stator and a method of manufacturing at least a portion of a progressive cavity motor or pump include disposing a cylindrical shell within a cylindrical housing, disposing a stator mold within the cylindrical shell, disposing an elastomeric material between the stator mold and the cylindrical shell, removing the stator mold from within the elastomeric material, thereby forming an elastomeric material layer having a stator profile within the cylindrical shell, and removing the cylindrical shell from within the cylindrical housing, thereby forming a cartridge having the elastomeric material layer disposed within the cylindrical shell.

Motor control system

A technique facilitates control over the actuation of a device by utilizing a rotor and a corresponding stator system. The rotor is rotatably mounted in the stator system, and rotation of the rotor relative to the stator system is correlated with the volumetric displacement of the fluid passing between the rotor and the stator system. A control system is employed to control the angular displacement and/or torque of the rotor and/or the flow of fluid thereto.
