Abstract

See full text

A pressure differential drilling tool and method of underbalanced pressure controlled well bore drilling, characterized by a modulating plug closely expanded to the well bore diameter to form an annulus for external bypass of well fluid immediately above the drill bit and through which the drill string continuously makes hole, and by an upwardly disposed peripheral nozzle jet pump with controlled suction of fluid from the bit so as to establish a reduced and/or underbalanced fluid pressure condition at the bit-to-bore bottom interface for operating the drill bit at an increased rate of penetration while maintaining a higher pressure condition in the well bore annulus above the modulating plug controllably expanded by hydraulic pressure applied to operate the jet pump.
