Abstract

An expandable reamer apparatus and stabilizer sub having at least one rib thereon attached thereto for drilling a subterranean formation.

Claims

45 AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 25 April 2011 (25.04.2011). What is claimed is:
1. An apparatus comprising:
a stabilizer sub for connection to an expandable reamer apparatus used for enlarging a borehole in a subterranean formation, the stabilizer sub comprising:
a tubular body having a longitudinal axis, an upper end, a lower end, an inner bore, and an outer surface, one of the upper end and the lower end of the tubular body for direct connection to the expandable reamer apparatus without the use of drill pipe or subs located therebetween; a drilling fluid flow path extending through the inner bore; and
at least one stabilizer rib located on a portion of the outer surface of the tubular body and extending helically around a circumference of the tubular body.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one stabilizer rib includes a diameter thereon substantially under gage of a nominal diameter of a borehole by an amount from 0.00 inch (0.00 cm) less than the nominal borehole diameter to substantially 0.50 inch (1.27 cm) less than the nominal borehole diameter.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein at least one stabilizer rib includes a diameter thereon substantially under gage of a nominal diameter of a borehole by an amount from substantially 0% less than the nominal borehole diameter to substantially 4% less than the nominal borehole diameter.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the at least one stabilizer rib comprises a rib including a plurality of surfaces.
5. The apparatus of claim 4, further comprising hardfacing located on the plurality of surfaces of the at least one stabilizer rib. 46
6. The apparatus of any one of claims 1, 2, and 5, wherein the at least one stabilizer rib extends one of a distance of approximately 45° of the circumference of the tubular body, of approximately 90° of the circumference of the tubular body, of approximately 180° of the circumference of the tubular body, of approximately 270° of the circumference of the tubular body, and of approximately 360° of the circumference of the tubular body.
7. The apparatus of any one of claims 1, 2, and 5, wherein the at least one stabilizer rib includes a profile comprising a first transition surface for transition to a bearing surface and a second transition surface for transition to the first transition surface.
8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the first transition surface comprises an arcuate surface and the transition bearing surface comprises a surface formed at an approximate constant radius.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
an expandable reamer apparatus including a tubular body having a longitudinal axis, an upper end having a threaded connection, a lower end having a threaded connection, an inner bore, an outer surface, and at least one track sloped upwardly and outwardly to the longitudinal axis, the expandable reamer apparatus comprising:
a drilling fluid flow path extending through the inner bore; and
at least one blade having at least one cutting element configured to remove material from the subterranean formation during reaming, at least one blade slidably coupled to the at least one track of the tubular body; wherein the stabilizer sub is directly attached to the threaded connection of one of the threaded connection of the upper end and the threaded connection of the lower end of the tubular body of the expandable reamer apparatus.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 or claim 9, wherein the at least one stabilizer rib comprises a plurality of stabilizer ribs located on the outer surface of the tubular body of the stabilizer sub.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 or claim 9, wherein the at least one stabilizer rib comprises:
a longitudinally extending body;
a bearing surface on the body for substantially laterally engaging a wall of the borehole during rotation of the stabilizer; and
a compound engagement profile extending over a rotationally leading portion of the body to the bearing surface and configured to facilitate non-aggressive engagement of the at least one stabilizer rib with the wall of the borehole.
12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the compound engagement profile comprises a first surface for transition to the bearing surface, and a second surface for transition to the first surface and wherein the first transition surface comprises a radius of curvature and the second transition surface comprises another radius of curvature smaller than the first transition surface.
13. A method of stabilizing an expandable reamer having at least one blade thereon, the method comprising:
forming at least one stabilizer rib on an end of a tubular housing of the expandable reamer separate from the at least one blade; and
locating the at least one stabilizer rib within at least ten (10) feet (3.04 meters) of the at least one blade on the expandable reamer.
14. The method of claim 13, wherein locating the at least one stabilizer rib within at least ten ( 10) feet (3.04 meters) of the at least one blade on the expandable reamer comprising locating the at least one stabilizer rib within a range of four (4) feet (1.21 meters) to ten (10) feet (3.04 meters) of the at least one blade of the expandable reamer.
15. The method of claim 13 or claim 14, wherein forming at least one stabilizer rib on an end of a tubular housing of the expandable reamer separate from the at least one blade comprises extending the at least one stabilizer rib helically around an outer surface of the tubular housing for at least 45°.
