    摘要: A drilling tool system includes a drilling tool collar having at least one recess and a sleeve disposed around the drilling tool collar, wherein the sleeve comprises at least one slot configured to align with the at least one recess. The drilling tool system further includes an inner key disposed within the at least one recess, an outer key secured within the at least one slot and at least partially disposed within the at least one recess, and at least one fastener configured to drive the inner key in a first lateral direction and the outer key in a second lateral direction to secure the inner key against a first lateral surface and the outer key against a second lateral surface, and wherein securing the inner key and the outer key restrains rotational movement of the sleeve with respect to the tool collar.

    摘要: A drilling tool for use in a wellbore comprises a first collar having a first bore extending from a first send to a second end and an internal thread disposed on the bore at the second end. The drilling tool also comprises a second collar having a second bore extending from a third end to a fourth end and an external thread disposed on the third end. The third end is coupled to the second end of the first collar. A first set of components is housed within the first bore and a second set of components is housed on a sidewall of the second collar formed between the second bore and an outer surface of the second collar.

    摘要: Drill collars may be constructed using solid-state welding processes. Solid-state welding produces robust drill collars with high fatigue lifespans and permits individual segments of the drill collar to be optimized based on their intended use. A drill collar may be formed of a first segment with a different material, density, modulus of elasticity and/or geometry than an adjacent second segment fused thereto. If a segment of a drill collar is damaged in use, the damaged segment may be removed and replaced, possibly without de-rating the drill collar. Methods of forming the solid-state welds may include friction welding adjacent segments to one another such that features in each segment are circumferentially aligned when the weld is formed. Supplemental energy sources may provide additional heat at the welded surfaces to ensure the segments are effectively fused.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a sensor container for a downhole tool. The sensor container can be mountable in a receiver space on a carrier that is insertable into a wellbore. The sensor container can comprise a container body having a receiving space to which a shock-sensitive sensor is couplable. Further, the sensor container can comprise a shock absorber positioned at a lateral side thereof. The shock absorber can be configured to buffer shock forces and vibration forces acting thereupon.
