Abstract
A device and related method for conducting a wellbore operation controls a tool by using at least one pressure estimated at a contact between a reaction surface and a contact face associated with the tool. The device may include a contact face and a sensor associated with the contact face. The sensor may be configured to estimate a pressure applied to the contact face.
Claims15
A method for conducting a wellbore operation in a borehole formed in an earthen formation, comprising:
- controlling a tool in the borehole by using at least one pressure estimated at a contact between a reaction surface and a contact face associated with the tool.
An apparatus for conducting a wellbore operation, comprising:
- a carrier conveyable into a well borehole;
- a tool coupled to the carrier, the tool including a contact face;
- and
- a sensor associated with the contact face, the sensor being configured to estimate a pressure applied at the contact face.
