Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Raccord coudé pour forages dirigés. Ce raccord comprend un premier et un second éléments tubulaires assemblés entre eux, le second de ces éléments pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe formant un angle avec l'axe du premier élément Le raccord comporte des moyens télécommandés pour modifier pas à pas le calage angulaire du second élément tubulaire par rapport au premier desdits éléments. Application au forage de puits dirigés dans le sol. Elbow fitting for directional drilling. This connector comprises a first and a second tubular elements assembled together, the second of these elements being able to pivot about an axis forming an angle with the axis of the first element The connector comprises remote-controlled means for modifying the angular setting step by step of the second tubular element relative to the first of said elements.
