Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of oil and natural gas drilling engineering, in particular to the method and system for improving drilling speed by using drill string vibration.

BACKGROUND ART

As is well known, the main advantage of the method for increasing the injection pressure of the drilling fluid at the shaft bottom by installing specialized tools is that it can improves the drilling speed by ultra-high pressure jet which assists rock cracking directly or auxiliarily without changing the present drilling procedure or device requirements. The drilling engineers and technical inventors have been attempting to solve problems of how to improve the injection pressure of drilling fluid at the shaft bottom and how to realize the effective injection of the ultra-high pressure drilling fluid. In the existing methods of improving the injection pressure of the drilling fluid at the shaft bottom, the working power generally comes from the energy carried by the drilling fluid itself. The process of realization is to transfer the energy of most part of the drilling fluid into a small part of the drilling fluid by the specialized tools. The problems encountered during the realization and application process are as follows: i). the specialized tools designed according to such method have complicated structure and hence the working life and safety during the underground operation cannot be ensured; ii). as the well depth increases, the circulating pressure loss increases and the hydraulic pressure energy decreases, thus the effect of improving the drilling fluid injection pressure at the shaft bottom will be influenced; iii). a coupling phenomenon may be occurred due to the impact caused by the process of improving the injection pressure of drilling fluid at the shaft bottom and the inherent vibration of the drilling string, which influences the working life of the drilling bit and drilling tool; iv) during normal work, the specialized tools designed according to the method will generate a certain pressure drop, which will add the working load of the rotary system and may influence the normal function by the drilling fluid; v) since the drilling fluids all get involved in the energy transfer process, once the tool is disabled in the downhole, the circulation of the drilling fluid may be blocked and the construction cannot be carried out, even serious consequence will occur. The drilling bit used for realizing the injection of ultra-pressure drilling fluid at the shaft bottom is manufactured specifically. The problems encountered in use of such drilling bit are as follows: i). forming specialized runners for the ultra-high pressure drilling fluid into the drilling bit matrix will undoubtedly increase the cost of drilling task and thereby influence the spread application in different regions and stratums; ii). during the installation, it is possible that the runners can not be connected simultaneously; since the flow pipe of ultra-high pressure fluid does not have pressure-bearing and pull-bearing device, the fluid communication between ultra-high pressure runners may fails due to the excessive axial force or misalignment of the axis during the assemble and disassemble process with the tools for improving the injection pressure at the shaft bottom; iii). the connection process may make damage to the connection of ultra-high runner and of drilling bit body. During the connection process with the tools for improving the injection pressure of drilling fluid, the torque on the ultra-high pressure runner will act on the portion that connects the drilling bit body, which is likely to damage that portion. Therefore, despite of efforts and studies made by the researchers, the above method of improving the injection pressure of drilling fluid at the shaft bottom, and the method and apparatus of realizing effective injection of ultra-high pressure drilling fluid have not been spread in the field of improving the drilling speed yet.

The high-pressure runner 16 is connected to the ultra-high pressure drilling fluid runner 25; one end of the high-pressure resisting hose 28 is connected to the ultra-high pressure drilling fluid runner, and the other end of the high-pressure resisting hose 28 is connected to the high-pressure resisting rigid tube; and the other end of the high-pressure resisting rigid tube is connected to an ultra-high pressure drilling fluid nozzle 31.

Referring to FIG. 7, the downhole drill string vibration-reduction and supercharging device further comprises: an upper transition joint 1, an upper plugging joint 2 of the spring, a spring outer case 3, a spring 4, a lower plugging joint 5 of the spring, a central shaft 6, a splined outer sleeve 7, a piston shaft 8, a locking nut 9, an inlet one-way valve 10, a sealing assembly 11, a supercharging cylinder 12, a supercharging cylinder righting cylinder 13, a supercharging cylinder outer sleeve 14, an outlet one-way valve 15, a lower transition joint 17; the upper transition joint 1, the upper plugging joint 2 of the spring, the central shaft 6, the piston shaft 8 and the inlet one-way valve 10 are jointed together into an integral; the central shaft 6 engages with the splined outer sleeve 7 to transmit the torque and to allow the central shaft 6 to move up and down; the central shaft 6 connects with the piston shaft 8 via threads and gets locked by the locking nut 9; the spring outer case 3, the lower plugging joint 5 of the spring, the splined outer sleeve 7, the supercharging cylinder outer sleeve 14 and the lower transition joint 17 are jointed together into an integral; the spring 4 are positioned within the spring outer case 3; the supercharging cylinder 12 is fixed within the supercharging cylinder righting sleeve 13; the supercharging cylinder righting sleeve 13 is positioned within the supercharging cylinder outer sleeve 14; a sealing assembly 11 is positioned at one side where the supercharging cylinder 12 contacts with the piston shaft 8; an outlet one-way valve 15 connecting a high-pressure runner 16 is positioned at the other side of the supercharging cylinder 12.

The upper portion of the device is a vibration-reduction system, and the lower portion is a supercharging system of drilling fluid.

During drilling, the drill string sets the upper transition joint 1, the upper plugging joint 2 of the spring, the central shaft 6, and the piston shaft 8 in up-and-down motion together due to the longitudinal vibration of the drill string; meanwhile, the spring 4 in the spring outer case 3 ensures that the spring outer case, the supercharging cylinder 12 etc. will not move up-and-down along with the drill string by compression and expansion.

The method for improving the injection pressure of the drilling fluid at the shaft bottom by using drill string vibration comprises: the power source adopted is the power generated by the bit pressure fluctuation in the bit body; the drilling fluid enters into the cavity in the downhole drill string vibration-reduction and supercharging device; after being shunt by the shunt mechanism, most part of the drilling fluid is injected via the ordinary pressure nozzle, in this device, the shunt mechanism is a bottom shunt hole of the central shaft; other small part of the drilling fluid enters into the power conversion unit via the inlet one-way valve in the downhole drill string vibration-reduction and supercharging device; after obtaining the power source and the high energy coming from reducing the fluctuation amplitude of bit pressure, the drilling fluid is discharged via the outlet one-way valve connecting the high-pressure runner and finally is injected by the ultra-high pressure drilling fluid nozzle, to realize the ultra-high pressure jet which facilitates rock cracking directly or auxiliarily. The power conversion unit is composed by the sealing assembly, the supercharging cylinder and the supercharging cylinder righting sleeve.

The increasing of the inject pressure of drilling fluid is completed in the power conversion cavity; when the bit pressure on the bit body is increased, the transmission lever of bit pressure compresses the spring and the drilling fluid in the power conversion cavity; the pressure increase of the drilling fluid in the power conversion cavity enables the close of the inlet one-way valve and the open of the outlet one-way valve; the drilling fluid that absorbs the power source energy is discharged out via the outlet one-way valve and is ejected via the ultra-high drilling fluid nozzle to realize the ultra-high pressure jet which facilitates rock cracking directly or auxiliarily. The spring withstands the pressure of transmission lever of bit pressure, and generates compression force and stores energy; meanwhile the lubricant on the spring is compressed into the lubricant cavity; when the bit pressure on the drill string body reduces, the flexible element withstanding the pressure of the transmission lever of bit pressure and generating elastic potential energy, stretches and releases energy to decrease the pressure in the power conversion cavity; open the inlet one-way valve of the power conversion unit and close the outlet one-way valve of the power conversion unit; drilling fluid flows into the power conversion cavity, meanwhile the lubricant in the lubricant cavity flows back to the flexible element to lubricate and cool the flexible element.

Other small part of the drilling fluid enters into the power conversion unit via the inlet one-way valve 37, after obtaining the power source—the energy acquired by reducing the fluctuation amplitude of bit pressure reaches the pressure of 80-100 Mpa or higher, the drilling fluid is discharged via the outlet unilateral valve 38, and is finally injected by the ultra-high pressure drilling fluid nozzle to realize the ultra-high pressure jet which facilitates rock cracking directly or auxiliarily. The increasing of the inject pressure of drilling fluid is completed in the power conversion cavity 39; when the bit pressure on the bit body 42 is increased, the transmission lever 40 of bit pressure compresses the drilling fluid in the power conversion cavity and the flexible element 41; the pressure increase of the drilling fluid in the power conversion cavity 39 enables the close of the inlet one-way valve 37 and the open of the outlet one-way valve 38; the drilling fluid that absorbs the power source energy is discharged via the outlet one-way valve 38 and ejected via the ultra-high drilling fluid nozzle to realize the ultra-high pressure jet which facilitates rock cracking directly or auxiliarily. The spring withstands the pressure of transmission lever of bit pressure, and generates compression and stores energy, meanwhile the lubricant on the spring is compressed into the lubricant cavity; when the bit pressure on the drill string body reduces, the spring withstanding the pressure of the transmission lever of bit pressure and generating elastic potential energy, stretches and releases energy to decrease the pressure in the power conversion cavity; open the inlet one-way valve and close the outlet one-way valve; drilling fluid flows into the power conversion cavity 39, meanwhile the lubricant in the lubricant cavity 43 flows back to the flexible element to lubricate and cool the flexible element.

The method of improving the injection pressure of drilling fluid at the shaft bottom by using the drill string vibration is a brand new one. The corresponding structure of the device is simple and the system is stable and reliable. The construction method of the ultra-high pressure drilling bit runner system used for the downhole supercharger is easy to implement and saves operating time. It is able to construct various of ultra-high pressure bit device. On the spot, the downhole drill string vibration-reduction and supercharging device designed by the method of improving the injection pressure of the drilling fluid at the shaft bottom by using the drill string vibration engages with the bit constructed by the construction method of using the ultra-high pressure bit runner system to improve the drilling speed.

A system and method of realizing the injection of ultra-high pressure drilling fluid at the shaft bottom, namely an ultra-high pressure bit device used for a downhole supercharger and the construction method of the ultra-high pressure bit runner used for a downhole supercharger, only require the construction of other assembly in the system exclusive of the bit body according to the construction method of the system and hence realize the conversion from the common bit to ultra-high pressure double-runner bit. This facilitates the widespread of the downhole supercharging device.
