Application: Bha with electric directional drilling motor (Patent ID: US20240117677A1)
The patent filed by ConocoPhillips describes a bottom hole assembly (BHA) that can generate electricity downhole using a mud motor coupled to an electric power generator. This electricity can be used to power an electric drilling motor for driving a drill bit and for directional control of the drive shaft. The BHA also includes a power management system with measure-while-drilling (MWD) sensors for more accurate measurements placed closer to the drill bit, along with optional sensors for measuring various drilling parameters.
Additionally, the patent outlines the placement of MWD sensors within 6 ft of the drill bit, a power management system comprising a processor, electric transformer, and battery, and the use of a rechargeable battery coupled with the electric power generator. The BHA also includes features such as a drive shaft that conveys mud from the mud motor to the drill bit, a side force package for directional control, and a drill bit orienting mechanism with an at-bit bend sensor. The patent emphasizes the simultaneous operation of the drill bit using electrical power generated by the electric power generator and the mud motor using hydraulic power from flowing mud, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of drilling operations.
