Definitions
- This application relates generally to drilling systems and methods and, more particularly, to wireline drilling systems and methods.
- Exploration drilling often includes retrieving a sample from a formation. The retrieved sample can then be evaluated to determine its contents.
- a drill string can be used to retrieve a sample from a formation.
- the drill string can include an open-faced drill bit, an outer tube of a core barrel assembly, and a series of connected drill rods, which can be assembled section-by-section as the drill bit and the core barrel assembly move deeper into the formation.
- the outer tube of the core barrel assembly can be connected to the drill bit and the series of drill rods.
- the core barrel assembly can also include an inner tube assembly, which can be releasably locked to the outer tube. With the inner tube assembly locked to the outer tube, the drill bit, the core barrel assembly and the drill rods can be rotated and/or pushed into the formation to allow a core sample to be collected within the inner tube assembly.
- the inner tube assembly can be unlocked from the outer tube.
- the inner tube assembly can then be retrieved using a retrieval system, while portions of the drill string remain within the borehole.
- the core sample can be removed from the retrieved inner tube assembly, and after the core sample is removed, the inner tube assembly can be sent back and locked to the outer tube.
- the drill bit, the core barrel assembly and the drill rods can again be rotated and/or pushed farther into the formation to allow another core sample to be collected within the inner tube assembly.
- the inner tube assembly can be repeatedly retrieved and sent back in this manner to obtain several core samples, while portions of the drill string remain within the borehole. This can advantageously reduce the time necessary to obtain core samples because the drill string need not be tripped out of the borehole for each core sample.
- the retrieval system used to retrieve the inner tube assembly can include an overshot connected to a wireline rope.
- a trailing portion of the wireline rope can be connected to a winch drum of a winch, and a leading portion of the wireline rope can be connected to the overshot.
- the winch drum can be rotated in a first direction to unwind the wireline rope, which lowers/advances the overshot into the drill string until it reaches the inner tube assembly. After the overshot reaches the inner tube assembly, the overshot can be connected to the inner tube assembly. With the overshot connected to the inner tube assembly, the winch drum can be rotated in an opposing second direction to re-wind the wireline rope, which raises/retrieves the overshot and the inner tube assembly out of the drill string.
- the winch drum is typically rotated at a very high speed to quickly retrieve the overshot and the inner tube assembly.
- the overshot can slam into a mechanical trip lever of the retrieval system, which causes the winch drum to stop rotating to help prevent overrunning the winch.
- a user can then manually select an override button, or the like, to commence rotating the winch drum at a reduced speed to continue raising/retrieving the inner tube assembly.
- the retrieval system can include a winch, a wireline rope that can be connected to the winch, a core sampler (e.g ., an inner tube assembly) connected to a retrieval tool (e.g ., an overshot) which is connected to the wireline rope, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponder and transponder carrier, a RFID antenna and reader assembly, and a controller in operative communication with the winch.
- a radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponder and transponder carrier e.g ., an overshot
- RFID radio-frequency identification
- the controller can be configured to automatically adjust the speed at which the winch retrieves the core sampler.
- the winch can include a winch drum, and the wireline rope can be at least partially wound around the winch drum.
- the controller can be configured to automatically adjust the speed at which the winch drum rotates, thereby adjusting the speed at which the winch retrieves the core sampler.
- the retrieval system can further include a housing that encloses at least a portion of the RFID transponder.
- the housing can have a clamp configuration that can be configured to clamp onto the wireline rope.
- the housing can be connected to a retrieval tool and/or retrieval tool adaptor (e.g ., an overshot and/or an overshot adaptor) of the retrieval system.

- Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to "about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent "about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.
