## Abstract

An extended reach tool includes two or more separate flow paths, wherein each of the flow paths has multiple hollow chambers connected in series. Each of the hollow chambers includes a first constricted chamber with a fluid entry, a first expansion chamber located adjacent to the lower end of the first constricted chamber, and a second constricted chamber with the upper end of connected to the lower end of the first expansion chamber. A separate second expansion chamber is connected to the lower end of a plurality of the second constricted chambers. A single port is located adjacent to the lower end of the second expansion chamber.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An extended reach tool configured to be coupled to (a) a bottom hole assembly that includes a threaded pin and (b) with one of a tubing or a motor, the one of the tubing and the motor including a threaded box, the extended reach tool comprising:
a top side with a threaded box configured to receive the threaded pin of the bottom hole assembly;
a bottom end with a threaded pin, the bottom end being spaced apart from the top side, wherein the threaded pin is configured to be received in the threaded box of the one of the tubing or the motor;
two or more separate flow paths, wherein each of the flow paths has multiple hollow chambers connected in series; each of the hollow chambers comprises a first constricted chamber with a fluid entry, a first expansion chamber located adjacent to a lower end of the first constricted chamber, a second constricted chamber with an upper end of the second constricted chamber connected to a lower end of the first expansion chamber;
a separate second expansion chamber connected to a lower end of each of the second constricted chambers; and
a single port located adjacent to a lower end of the second expansion chamber.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method of delivering a pulsing fluid, comprising:
positioning the extended reach tool of claim 1 in a well bore;
providing a fluid to the extended reach tool;
separating the fluid into the two or more separate flow paths in the extended reach tool.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A drill string comprising:
at least one of a tubing and a motor;
a bottom hole assembly; and,
the extended reach tool of claim 1.
