Abstract
A core breaker carrier for inserting and removing a core breaker from a drill bit. The carrier of the present invention eliminates the need for using wireline tools to install a core breaker within a drill bit. The core breaker carrier with core breaker attached can be inserted into the bore of the drill pipe at the well surface and pumped into the drill bit. Fluid pressure is used to anchor the carrier at a preselected location within the drill bit.
Claims8
A core breaker carrier, comprising:
- a. mandrel means having a longitudinal flow passage extending therethrough;
- b. means for engaging one end of the mandrel means with a fishing tool;
- c. means for engaging a core breaker to the opposite end of the mandrel means;
- d. a first portion of the mandrel means comprising a locking mandrel for releasably anchoring the carrier at a preselected location within a drill bit;
- e. means for restricting fluid flow through the longitudinal flow passage until the fluid pressure therein exceeds a preselected value anchoring the carrier within the drill bit;
- f. the flow restricting means further comprising a piston having a first position releasably secured within the longitudinal flow passage near the one end of the mandrel means;
- g. the piston having a second position near the opposite end of the mandrel means;
- and
- h. lateral ports extending through the mandrel means to communicate fluid between the longitudinal flow passage and the exterior of the mandrel means when the piston is in its second position.

- h. the piston resting at a second position near the opposite end of the mandrel means when released from its first position;
- and
- i. lateral ports extending through the mandrel means to communicate fluid between the longitudinal flow passage and the exterior of the mandrel means.
