20080215388 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM FOR CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT UTILIZING CREDIT LIMITS - Software aggregates and integrates credit exposure and credit data across accounting, trading and operational systems within an organization and generates views of available credit in light of the exposure and credit limits. A comprehensive model of exposure to all counterparties, across all of their divisions and subsidiaries, is assembled, enabling the creation of a hierarchical view of each counterparty that models its real-world parent-child relationships. Credit limits are set across the enterprise, supporting the organization's unique methodology and business process, and on a granular basis, incorporating factors such as external credit ratings, internal credit scores, commodity, geographic region, deal duration, and security instruments. Credit, transactions, and risk are then determined at any level in the hierarchy. After aggregating exposure and credit limit information, the system presents a comprehensive, detailed, real-time, enterprise-wide view of current exposure, collateral requirements and available credit for both a company and its counterparties, making it easy for users to identify trouble spots by counterparty, geography, industry, and credit rating and to manage the company's liquidity. | 09-04-2008 |

20150090497 | Directional Drilling Using Variable Bit Speed, Thrust, and Active Deflection - A downhole assembly for directionally drilling a borehole has a motor, a transmission, and a steering mechanism. The motor has a rotor driven in a stator by flow of drilling fluid therebetween. The transmission operatively couples the rotor to a drill bit for drilling the borehole. A flow control controls the flow of drilling fluid through an internal passage of the rotor. The flow control can thereby vary the drive of the rotor in a bit speed effect that preferentially cuts the wall of the borehole to achieve directional drilling. The flow control can also thereby create a differential pressure displacing the rotor along a longitudinal axis of the motor in a thrust effect. The steering mechanism responds to the displacement of the rotor and deviates a direction of the drill bit from the longitudinal axis of the motor to further achieve directional drilling. The bit speed effect, the rotor displacement, and the deviation are preferentially coordinated to coincide or at least operate together. | 04-02-2015 |

20090057018 | DIRECTIONAL DRILLING CONTROL USING MODULATED BIT ROTATION - A system for steering the direction of a borehole advanced by cutting action of a rotary drill bit by periodically varying the rotation speed of the drill bit. The steering system comprises a motor disposed in a bent housing subsection and operationally connected to a drill string and to the drill bit. The rotation speed of the drill bit is periodically varied by periodic varying the rotation speed of the motor or by periodic varying the rotation speed of the drill string.

Both the drill string and the drill motor are rotated simultaneously during straight and deviated borehole drilling. | 03-05-2009 |
20090266610 | DETERMINATION OF AZIMUTHAL OFFSET AND RADIUS OF CURVATURE IN A DEVIATED BOREHOLE USING PERIODIC DRILL STRING TORQUE MEASUREMENTS - Methods and apparatus for determining the direction of borehole azimuthal offset and the borehole radius of curvature. Rotation rate of a borehole assembly is measured and mathematically converted into azimuthal torque imparted to the borehole assembly. Relative azimuthal offset is determined from variations in azimuthal torque over a rotation cycle of the borehole assembly. Relative radius of curvature is obtained from the magnitude of azimuthal torque over a rotation cycle. Relative azimuthal offset is converted to true azimuthal offset using an independent reference angle measurement. Relative borehole curvature is converted to true radius of curvature using a calibration constant determined in known borehole conditions. | 10-29-2009 |

20120039151 | MUD PULSE TELEMETRY SYNCHRONOUS TIME AVERAGING SYSTEM - Apparatus and methods for removing the effects of directional drilling systems drilling fluid pulses to allow a MWD mud pulse telemetry system to operate without interference. The methodology is based upon Synchronous Time Averaging (STA). With STA, any pressure fluctuation that is cyclical (or synchronous) with a measurable event can be profiled and subsequently subtracted from a mud pulse telemetry signal. STA functions by placing a strobe in such a manner that the strobe is triggered for each cyclical event. The cyclical event in this disclosure is one (or more) revolution(s) of the drill string. If there is a pressure fluctuation that correlates to that cyclical event, it will be identified by a stable profile of that pressure fluctuation. This pressure profile is then used to remove the cyclical pressure fluctuation from the input mud pulse telemetry signal thereby allowing normal operation of the mud pulse telemetry system. | 02-16-2012 |
