Abstract (en)

[origin: US4694914A] The present invention relates to drilling a well with a bent bore. A bending device is inserted in a drilling string between a stabilizer and an active motor element. If the drilling string is rotated in one direction the bending device takes up a rectilinear configuration for ensuring rectilinear drilling, and if the drilling string is rotated in the opposite direction it takes up a bent configuration, thereby transforming itself into a bent coupling for curved drilling. The device comprises two superposed sleeves (1, 2) one of which is capable of rotating through a limited angle about a pivot (3) whose axis lies at the same small angle (A) to the axes (10, 10A) of both sleeves. The invention is applicable to drilling oil wells or geothermal wells.
