Description The Core Barrel - Drill String Acceleration Tool (CB-DSA), developed at BRG-LDEO, has been used on numerous ODP projects. Its primary purpose is to measure and record the drill bit acceleration and vibration signals during drilling. The tool contains a single-axis high sensitivity accelerometer for heave measurements, a three-axial high frequency ac- celerometer for drill bit variations and a high resolution pressure sensor. For ease of deployment, the CB-DSA has been designed as a removable extension of the APC/XCB/ RCB core barrels. Using standard threaded connections, the CB-DSA is attached to the top of a selected core barrel prior to core barrel deployment. Except during connection and disconnection of the tool, coring activities are not affected by its presence. Upon DSA/core barrel retrieval, the DSA is disconnected and the data are downloaded to the third party data acquisition system in the Downhole Measurements Lab for immediate analysis. Applications ♦ Downhole heave measurement ♦ Drill string vibration measurement ♦ Fluid pressure measurement ♦ Reconfigurable to suit Utilizing a standard fishing neck on one end and a quick connection on the other, the CB-DSA is designed for routine and rapid deployment with all standard ODP core barrels.
