Directional Drilling TRIZ Cases
- Movable Wall Filter Tool for Drilling Fluid
A filter tool with a movable exterior wall and filtration system separates solid particles from drilling fluid.
- Wave-Path Injection Well for Steam Recovery
A single well with a wave-like pathway and alternating injection ports enhances steam penetration in heavy oil reservoirs.
- Self-Adjusting Deflection Device for Directional Drilling
A self-adjusting deflection device tilts when stationary to drill curves and straightens during rotation.
- Debris Resistant Keyed Running Tool for Slotted Orientation
Movable keys on the running tool align with partially extended slots to reduce debris accumulation during stimulation operations.
- Downhole Drilling Motor Transmission Axial Load Management
Segmented roller couplings and flex-shafts dissipate axial thrust forces, preventing binding in transmission components.
- Seismic Traveltime Operator Correction via Modal Node Consistency
A seismic processing system assigns canonical traveltime operators to spatial nodes and identifies deviating estimates for replacement.
