    Abstract: A method and system for steering a rotary steerable tool in a borehole. A method includes determining an azimuthal angle between a reference direction and a reference point on a direction determination component of a tool string. The direction control component is remote from the rotary steerable tool. The azimuthal angle and a time at which the angle was determined are communicated to a rotary steerable tool direction control system. A steerable shaft of the rotary steerable tool is deflected based on the azimuthal angle and the time at which the angle was determined, thereby directing the rotary steerable tool in a predetermined direction.

    Abstract: Systems and tools for detecting the presence of a substance of interest is presented. The system utilizes a hyperspectral imaging camera to obtain images of an enclosed area, such as a vehicle. Vehicles can include cars, trucks, trains, or boats. The system also includes a processor and storage device. The processor receives the images taken by the hyperspectral imaging camera. Next, the processor determines whether such images contain certain substances. These substances include alcohol, carbon monoxide, illegal substances, and hazardous chemicals. The storage device is electrically coupled to the processor, and is used to store certain data information such as detection events, substance detected, and the time of detection. Such information can be sent over the internet, or streamed live to a laptop at a remote location. The present embodiment can be used by law enforcement to monitor vehicles of interest, and become an important part of public safety.

    Abstract: A system for signal transmission along a drill string is disclosed. A first drill pipe section and a second drill pipe section each comprise an inner pipe. A first repeater sub is coupled to the first drill pipe section and the second drill pipe section at a first position along the drill string. The first repeater sub comprises a first toroid corresponding to the first drill pipe section and a second toroid corresponding to the second drill pipe section. A signal transmitted through the first drill pipe section, an inner mandrel of the repeater sub and the inner pipe of the first drill pipe section is received by the first toroid. The first repeater sub processes the signal received by the first toroid to generate a processed signal and transmits the processed signal to the second drill pipe through the second toroid.

    Abstract: A telemetry system and method for communicating information axially along a drill string comprised of a drive train supported within a housing. The system includes an axial conducting loop formed by the drill string for conducting an axial electrical signal embodying the information between a first axial position and a second axial position in the drill string, which axial conducting loop extends between the first and second axial positions. A transmitter transmits information to the axial conducting loop. The drive train includes a downhole end which extends from and is located below the housing. At least one of the first and second axial positions is located in the downhole end. The method includes the step of conducting the axial electrical signal between the first and second axial positions through the axial conducting loop which extends between the first and second axial positions.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing redundant wired pipe-in-pipe telemetry is described. The redundant wired pip-in-pipe telemetry system includes an outer pipe and an inner pipe disposed within the outer pipe. Within the outer pipe, two or more conductive elements may be provided as well as a wired path controller that may selectably switch between available conductive paths. The wired path controller may identify conductive paths with good electrical characteristics and select those paths for transmission. If a conductive path develops a fault, the wired path controller may select one of the alternative redundant conductive paths for transmission to avoid the fault. The wireless controller may further transmit information about the location of faults to a drill operator at the surface.

    Abstract: A system and method for automatic weight-on-bit sensor calibration is described. Embodiments of the invention automatically compensate the measurements of a weight-on-bit sensor based on one or more of mass, hole inclination, buoyancy, drag, and mud flow, resulting in a more accurate axial force measurement below the weight-on-bit sensor at various hole inclinations. This measurement is observed by removing some of the effects masking the actual force being applied to the axial face of the drill bit.
