    Abstract: A gas-separator for separating trapped gases from drilling fluids retrieved from a well-bore being drilled is disclosed. The gas-separator includes a cylindrical separator which is capable of rotating on its longitudinal axis when fluid and gases flow out through fluid ejection ports, which access the center bore of the cylindrical separator. The fluid ejection ports have a narrower cross-section towards the center bore and a wider cross-section at the opposite end, and are preferably aligned substantially tangentially with periphery of center bore, such that outflow of drilling fluid (and gases) from the center bore through the ejection ports induces a rotational torque on the cylindrical separator. Spinning of cylindrical separator enhances the gas-separation effect.

    Abstract: A pulsating hammer tool providing longer, stronger and frequent shock waves is disclosed. Selective closure of a poppet valve and interruptions of fluid flow through sliding valve assemblies and a flow regulator valve, generates shock waves and induces opening of the poppet valve. Shock waves generated by the sliding valve assemblies and the flow regulator valve combine with those generated by opening/closing of the poppet valve resulting in waves with increased amplitude. Shape, dimensions and orientations of flow paths through flow regulator valve are chosen to impart desired frequency and magnitude to generated shock waves. Similarly, the frequency of shock waves generated by the valve assemblies can be controlled by varying lengths of the valve mid-sections and/or wash pipes, or by adjusting fluid pressure or the number and size of vents.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a circulating tool for aiding in removing debris from near the drill bit when drilling, especially for coiled tubing drilling operations. The drilling fluid entering the tool is directed to a sleeve which can spin freely around the tool, and includes upwardly directed ejection ports and tangentially oriented tangential ports. Fluid ejected from the tangential ports induce the sleeve to spin about the tool, and thus, fluid ejected from the ejection ports is spun to create a drilling fluid vortex within the well bore—and assist in carrying debris up and out.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid driven pulsating, hammering tool operational when pressurized fluid is pumped into the tool's upper sub, having a poppet valve which can seal the upper end of a slidable outer valve assembly when closed; an inner valve assembly slidable within the outer valve assembly; wherein the inner and outer valve assemblies remain in selective fluid communication with the poppet valve even when the poppet valve is closed, wherein interruption of said fluid communication occurs from movement of the inner and/or outer valve assemblies to particular positions along their sliding paths; and further including a lower valve which is preferably a Tesla valve having channels which are also in fluid communication with the poppet valve.

    Abstract: The disclosed jarring device generates two jarring impacts at the end points of a reciprocating hammer assembly. Initially, flow of pressurized fluid through the jarring device is obstructed by a deformable member. The resulting increase in fluid pressure upstream of the deformable member causes compression of a spring and downstream movement of the hammer assembly to generate a first jarring impact. A further increase in fluid pressure beyond a threshold, causes a release of the obstruction by either deforming the member or by slicing it by pushing it through a slicer. Releasing of the obstruction causes decompression of the spring, and upstream sliding of the hammer assembly to generate a second jarring impact.

    Abstract: The invention is a cleaning device and method for cleaning an oil well-bore. The device includes a longitudinal passage and plurality of distribution passages extending from it and terminating near the exterior of the cleaning device in fluid ejection ports which have a progressively widening diameter towards their outermost end. The distribution passages and ports are oriented around a longitudinal axis of the device such that on injection of pressurized cleaning fluid into the longitudinal passage, jets of cleaning fluid are ejected from the ports. The ejected jets being substantially tangential to the outer surface of the device, generate rotational torque on one or more components of the device and cause them to spin. The device may further include a supplementary attachment such as a dual-purpose drilling bit. To perform cleaning, the device is connected to one end of a coiled tubing and is inserted in the well-bore.
