Abstract
In a drilling string comprising drill bit and a ranging tool, an arrangement of insulated drill pipe among other drill pipe in the drilling string is configured based on a performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool. A characteristic of a flow of fluid through the drilling string is configured based on the performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool while the drilling string is in a wellbore and the ranging tool is being operated to determine the location of the wellbore relative to another wellbore.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- configuring, in a drilling string comprising a drill bit and a ranging tool, an arrangement of insulated drill pipe in the drilling string based on a performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool;
- and
- controlling a characteristic of a flow of fluid through the drilling string based on the performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool while the drilling string is in a wellbore and the ranging tool is being operated to determine the location of the wellbore relative to another wellbore.
A system, comprising:
- a drilling string comprising a ranging tool and an arrangement of insulated drill pipe, the arrangement of insulated drill pipe configured based on a performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool;
- and
- a fluid flow through the drilling string, the fluid controlled based on the performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool while the drilling string is in a wellbore and the ranging tool is being operated to determine the location of the wellbore relative to another wellbore.
A method, comprising:
- assembling insulated drill pipe into a drilling string comprising other drilling string based on a performance/temperature relationship of a ranging tool in the drilling string;
- and
- flowing fluid downhole through the drilling string based on the performance/temperature relationship of the ranging tool while operating the ranging tool to determine the location of a wellbore relative to another wellbore.
