Abstract:
An apparatus operable on a wireline logging cable for drilling a hole in the sidewall of a drill hole which comprises a hydraulically operated backup shoe (20) for wedging the apparatus at a selected location in the drill hole, a hydraulic motor (32) with a drilling bit (31) connected thereto for rotation by the hydraulic motor and hydraulic means (34, 35) connected to the hydraulic motor for motor for moving the bit into drilling engagement with the sidewall of the drill hole. In the improvement of this invention, the hydraulic means for moving the bit into drilling engagement comprises a new flow restrictor valve (147). This flow restrictor valve has an orifice (159) and a slender pointed rod (151) for restricting the flow of fluid through the orifice. Opposing spring means (153) and control fluid means engage the rod for controlling its movement toward and away from the orifice. A method of sidewall coring is also disclosed.

In the improvement of this invention, the hydraulic motor has guide track means (52) to provide positive engagement of the vanes (54) of the rotor (47) with the periphery of the hydraulic motor's rotor cavity and the rotor has conduit means (62) for the communication of fluid between the rear portion of the vanes contacting the periphery of the rotor cavity, during the rotation of the rotor and the rear portion of the vanes within the rotor. A method of sidewall coring with the apparatus is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A relatively nonvolatile, high molecular weight corrosion inhibitor and inhibitor carrier produced by activating a dialkyl disulfide oil by the addition of a relatively high molecular weight aliphatic amine (e.g., a fatty amine, particularly the N-alkyl-1,3-propane diamines) and optionally further increasing the molecular weight by the addition of elemental sulfur, which exhibits corrosion inhibition on its own and in combination with a conventional oil base corrosion inhibitor additive. Such a composition is particularly useful in sustaining a liquid film forming phase at bottomhole conditions for high temperature, high pressure gas wells wherein essentially no petroleum condensate phase exists.
Abstract:
Novel copolymers and terpolymers of the amide-imide type are prepared from tricarboxylic acid anhydride compounds, N,N'-diacylated diamines, N-acylated diamines, and primary diamines. These copolymers and terpolymers are useful for preparing injection molded articles of superior properties. A novel process for the manufacture of amide-imide copolymers and terpolymers is disclosed wherein the imide, imide-imide, amide, and amide-amide moieties incorporated into the polymer backbone can be controlled by acylating the amine functionality which is to form the amide and amide-amide moieties while reacting directly those diamines with a tricarboxylic anhydride compound which are intended to form the imide and imide-imide moieties.
Abstract:
A novel process for the preparation of injection moldable polymers prepared from diacylated aliphatic diamines, tricarboxylic anhydride compounds and aliphatic primary diamines. These polymers are useful for the preparation of injection molded articles and fibers. A process for enhancing the crystallization of these polymers by the addition of nucleating agents is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A relatively nonvolatile, high molecular weight sulfur solvent produced by activating a dialkyl disulfide oil by the addition of a relatively high molecular weight predominantly aliphatic amine (e.g., a N-alkyl-1,3-propane diamine) and optionally further increasing the molecular weight by the addition of elemental sulfur. Such a sulfur solvent is particularly useful in sustaining a liquid phase at bottomhole conditions for high temperature, high pressure sour gas.
Abstract:
Injection moldable copolymers are prepared from fully or partially acylated aromatic diamines and aromatic tricarboxylic anhydride compounds, aromatic dicarboxylic acides or mixtures of aromatic tricarboxylic acid anhydrides and aromatic dicarboxylic acids. These copolymers are useful for the preparation of injection molded articles and fibers.
Abstract:
An apparatus operable on a seven conductor wireline logging cable for drilling a hole in the sidewall of a drill hole which comprises an elongated housing (11) with a hydraulically operated backup shoe (20) mounted within the housing for wedging the housing at a selected location in the drill hole and a hydraulic motor (32) with a drilling bit (31) connected thereto for rotation by the hydraulic motor. Hydraulic means (34, 35) are mounted within the housing and are connected to the hydraulic motor for moving the bit into drilling engagement with the sidewall of the drill hole. In one embodiment, a core cutting bit is connected to the motor for obtaining a sample of a subterranean formation at the selected location. A control and hydraulic supply system is provided at the surface for operating the apparatus. A method of sidewall coring is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A relatively nonvolatile, high molecular weight sulfur solvent produced by adding at least 40 parts by weight of elemental sulfur per 100 parts by weight dialkyl disulfide to an amine activated dialkyl disulfide oil. Such a sulfur solvent is particularly useful in sustaining a liquid phase at bottomhole conditions for high temperature, high pressure wells.
