A device for cleaning mud and mud filter cake off of the wellbore wall when cementing casing in the hole to ensure good contact and bonding between the cement and the wellbore wall.  2, record 1, English, - scratcher

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The scratcher is a simple device, consisting of a band of steel that fits around a joint of casing, and stiff wire fingers or cable loops sticking out in all directions around the band (360-degree coverage). A scratcher resembles a bottlebrush, but its diameter is greater than its height. Importantly, for scratchers to be effective, the casing must be moved. This movement may be reciprocal motion in and out of the wellbore, rotary motion, or both. In general, the more motion, the better the cement job will be.  2, record 1, English, - scratcher

A small mud pit with a capacity of 10 to 15 bbl, usually with 1 bbl divisions, used exclusively to ascertain the amount of mud necessary to keep the well bore full with the exact amount of mud that is displaced by drill pipe. When the bit comes out of the hole, a volume of mud equal to that which the drill pipe occupied while in the hole must be pumped into the hole to replace the pipe. When the bit goes back in the hole, the drill pipe displaces a certain amount of mud, and a trip tank again can be used to keep track of this volume.  2, record 2, English, - trip%20tank

A continental method of shaft sinking through sand which is water-bearing. The shaft is formed by boring in stages, increasing in sizes from the pilot hole of about 4 feet in diameter to the final excavation size. Once the shaft is bored, mud flush circulation continues while the lining is lowered. The lining consists of two steel cylinders, one within the other, and the annular space is filled with concrete. The cylinders are lowered into the shaft and 10-foot lengths are added and welded in position at the shaft top.  1, record 38, English, - Honigmann%20process

Le procédé Honigmann permet de réaliser, jusqu'à 500 m de profondeur, des forages dont le diamètre dépasse 6 m. Il a été utilisé, pour la première fois, en 1942 en Allemagne, par la «Rheinische Braunkohlen-Tiefban G.m.b.M.» pour le fonçage dans les sables boulants du puits I de la concession «Union 103» [...]. La méthode consiste à forer à l'eau lourde des trous de diamètre de plus en plus grand, chacun d'eux atteignant la profondeur désirée. Le forage initial de 0,70 m de diamètre est ainsi successivement élargi à 2 m, 3,5 m, 5 m et 6,15 m. L'outil de perforation entraîné par une table de rotation comporte, suivant la nature des terrains, quatre ou six branches sur lesquelles sont fixés des couteaux amovibles. Au-dessus de lui, un tambour métallique sert de guide [...]. La grande particularité du procédé se trouve dans la circulation de boue qui [...] se fait au moyen d'un émulseur disposé dans la partie supérieure des tiges, système qui convient très bien pour les élargissements successifs, les débris tombant dans le forage en cours d'élargissement.  2, record 38, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20Honigmann
