Abstract

A novel well bore drilling system and method utilizes independently deployable multiple tubular strings to drill, line and cement multiple hole sections without intervening trips to the surface. In one embodiment, the drilling system includes two or more independent, telescoping, tubular members that form a nested tubular assembly and one or more sensors disposed on the nested tubular assembly. The nested tubular string (10) is deployed in the wellbore in conjunction with a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) (100) . In some embodiments, a drilling motor (1020, 1120, 1220) for rotating a drill bit is also positioned in the tubular assembly. The sensors can be disposed in a stator of the drilling motor or adjacent the motor. Also, in embodiments, the sensors (1130) can be positioned on extensible members (1140) that can position the sensor or sensors adjacent the wellbore wall (1154) .

Claims (29)

1. A method of drilling a wellbore in a subterranean formation, comprising:
a) conveying a first and second tubular string into the wellbore;
b) drilling a first open hole section with a drilling assembly while running the first tubular string into the first open hole section;
c) drilling a second open hole section with the drilling assembly while running the second tubular string into the second open hole section; and d) connecting at least one of the first tubular string and the second tubular string to the wellbore without tripping the drilling assembly out of the wellbore.
2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising tripping the drilling assembly out of the wellbore after the connecting step.
3. The method according to claim 1 wherein one of the first tubular string and the second tubular string is connected to the wellbore using one of (i) a connecting material, (ii) a mechanical connection device, and (iii) a connecting treatment.
4. The method according to claim 1 further comprising connecting the first tubular string to the first open hole section before drilling the second open hole section.
5. The method according to claim 1 further comprising assembling the first and second tubular strings in the wellbore to form a telescopic tubular assembly.
6. The method according to claim I further comprising attaching a liner shoe bit to one of the first tubular string and the second tubular string.

22. The apparatus according to claim 17 further comprising a liner hanger assembly associated with the tubular assembly for releasably attaching the first tubular string to the second tubular string.
23. The apparatus according to claim 17 further comprising at least one tool for determining a parameter of interest positioned at least partially on the tubular assembly.
24. The apparatus according to claim 23 wherein the at least one tool is mounted on an extensible member.
25. The apparatus according to claim 23 wherein a hole enlargement device is positioned downhole of the at least one tool.
26. The apparatus according to claim 23 wherein a hole enlargement device is positioned on the tubular member and uphole of the at least one tool.
27. The apparatus according to claim 23 wherein the at least one tool measures a parameter relating to one of (i) a formation, and (ii) a wellbore fluid.
28. The apparatus according to clam 23 wherein the at least one tool comprises a first tool pointed substantially outward to measure a parameter of interest relating to the formation and a second tool pointed substantially inward to measure a parameter of interest relating to a wellbore fluid.
29. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein one of the first tubular string and a second tubular string includes a non-metallic section; and further comprising a tool adapted to measure a parameter of interest through the non-metallic section.
