Abstract: A method for logging a downhole formation in a wellbore. The method compr ises drilling a wellbore with a drill bit coupled to a disconnect device (20 ). The disconnect device is then actuated to detach the drill bit from a por tion of a conveyance (40). A logging operation is then performed between two portions of the disconnect device. The disconnect device may then be reatta ched.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for selectively releasing a first wellbore componen t (30) to a second wellbore component (40) using a disconnect device. In one embodiment, the method includes coupling a disconnect device (20) to a work string (40) and a downhole tool (30); performing a downhole operation using the downhole tool, and selectively releasing an upper portion of the disconn ect device from a lower portion of the disconnect device, thereby releasing the downhole tool from the workstring. The method may also include reconnect ing the upper portion of the disconnect device to the lower portion of the d isconnect device. In one embodiment, the disconnect device is capable of tra nsferring torque to the wellbore component.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to signal operated tools for milling, drilling, and/or fishing operations. In one embodiment, a mud motor for use in a wellbore includes: a stator; a rotor, the stator and rotor operable to rotate the rotor in response to fluid pumped between the rotor and the stator; and a lock. The lock is operable to: rotationally couple the rotor to the stator in a locked position, receive an instruction signal from the surface, release the rotor in an unlocked position, and actuate from the locked position to the unlocked position in response to receiving the instruction signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to extendable cutting tools for use in a wellbore. In one embodiment, a tool for use in a wellbore includes a tubular body having a bore therethrough, an opening through a wall thereof, and a connector at each longitudinal end thereof; and an arm. The arm is pivotally connected to a first piston and rotationally coupled to the body, is disposed in the opening in a retracted position, and is movable to an extended position where an outer surface of the arm extends outward past an outer surface of the body. The tool further includes the first piston. The first piston is disposed in the body bore, has a bore therethrough, and is operable to move the arm from the retracted position to the extended position in response to fluid pressure in the piston bore exceeding fluid pressure in the opening. The tool further includes a lock operable to retain the first piston in the retracted position; and a second piston operably coupled to the lock.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for selectively releasing a first wellbore component to a second wellbore component using a disconnect device. The method includes coupling a disconnect device to a workstring and a downhole tool; performing a downhole operation using the downhole tool, and selectively releasing an upper portion of the disconnect device from a lower portion of the disconnect device, thereby releasing the downhole tool from the workstring. The method may also include reconnecting the upper portion of the disconnect device to the lower portion of the disconnect device. The disconnect device is capable of transferring torque to the wellbore component.
