A downhole antenna tool is disclosed for downhole well-logging or other downhole operations. Antenna bars are provided for winding of coils through associated coil carriers of individual ones of the antenna bars. The antenna bars with the wound coils are coated with a protection layer and are releasably coupled to a substrate of the downhole antenna tool using, for example, a silicone cushion layer.

A snubber device for reducing shocks and vibrations in a downhole tool. The snubber includes a main body extending between upper and lower connector ends. The main body is defined by one or more cut-out portions. One or more elastomeric elements are held within the one or more cut-out portions. The cut-out portions provide flexibility to the main body. The elastomeric elements absorb shocks and vibrations and are conveniently replaceable when excessive wear reduces their shock and vibration absorbing capacity.

An inline shock dampener apparatus is configured to absorb energy from encountered axial shock events and subsequently release this energy in a controlled fashion. The inline shock dampener apparatus can be included, for example, as part of a measurement while drilling (“MWD”) or other downhole drilling assembly, and dampens these shock events by absorbing shock energy into an absorbing medium such as springs or elastomers and hydraulically-suppressing the recoil energy stored during the said shock event. Additionally, the inline shock dampener permits fluid to flow through an internal fluid flow path with little or no change to the internal flow path's volume, pressure, or effective flowrate.

Embodiments provide an expandable meshed component for guiding an untethered measurement device used in a subterranean well. The expandable meshed component includes an uphole radial portion, an intermediate radial portion, a downhole radial portion, an outer meshed wall, and an inner meshed wall. The expandable meshed component has a density less than a fluidic component occupying the space. A method for guiding an untethered measurement device used in a subterranean well includes deploying a compressed expandable meshed component tethered to the untethered measurement device, disconnecting the compressed expandable meshed component and the untethered measurement device, and releasing a sleeve surrounding the compressed expandable meshed component such that the expandable meshed component expands, ascends, and fits into an annulus.
