Method and apparatus using flexible hose in logging highly deviated or very hot earth boreholes
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5799436
After drilling an earth borehole, the drill pipe and drill bit are removed from the borehole and the drill pipe is reinserted into the borehole. A flexible hose such as a fire hose, has a retro-nozzle at its lower end, is then pumped down through the interior of the drill pipe and a portion of the hose is pumped out through the end of the drill pipe for a desired distance. A well logging instrument is pumped through the flexible hose which extends down past the bottom of the drill pipe and well logging operations are performed through the flexible hose. In very hot wells, the drilling mud or other circulating fluid can continue to be pumped through the flexible hose to provide cooling of the well logging instrument.
