    摘要: Mitigating drilling circulation loss can be implemented as a wellbore drilling system that includes a drilling liner and a drill head assembly. The drilling liner is configured to be positioned in a lost circulation zone of a subterranean formation in which a wellbore is being drilled. The drilling liner is configured to flow wellbore drilling fluids from a surface of the wellbore to the subterranean formation while avoiding the lost circulation zone. The drill head assembly is attached to a downhole end of the drilling liner, and is configured to drill the subterranean formation to form cuttings, receive the wellbore drilling fluids, and flow the cuttings and the wellbore drilling fluids into the drilling liner while avoiding the lost circulation zone and towards the surface of the wellbore.

    摘要: A core sample catcher for a coring tool includes at least one flap catcher member movably coupled to an inner barrel of the coring tool. The at least one flap catcher member is configured to move between a first position and a second position. A passageway extending through the inner barrel is at least substantially un-occluded by the at least one flap catcher member in the first position and at least partially occluded by the at least one flap catcher member in the second position. The core sample catcher also includes a piston member located and configured to retain the at least one flap catcher member in the first position. The piston member is sized and configured to release the at least one flap catcher member as the piston is forced upward within the inner barrel by the core sample. Components are provided and assembled to form core sample catchers.

    摘要: A retrievable core sampling assembly for latching to or relative to a rotatable tubular housing of a core sampling apparatus to allow the capture and retrieval of a core from a subterranean formation, the assembly comprising or including: a core catcher barrel for a core, the barrel being rotationally isolated from the tubular housing and cooperable with a core taking bit coupled to the rotatable tubular housing to retain a core, and a hammer for providing impact to the core taking bit along a longitudinal impact path that is or is substantially decoupled from the core catcher barrel so that when latched, rotation and impact of the core taking bit captures and passes core material from the formation to the core catcher barrel in manner that isolates a core in the core catcher barrel from rotation and impact forces.

    摘要: An inner barrel assembly for use with a coring tool may include a sleeve located coaxially within an inner barrel in a telescoping manner. The core barrel assembly may also include a cap located above a top end of the sleeve when the inner barrel assembly is in an initial coring position. The cap may include a skirt having a portion extending downwardly from the cap. A coring tool including an inner barrel assembly and methods of forming an inner barrel assembly are also disclosed.
