Abstract
A valve-controlled high-energy hydrostatic down-the-hole (DTH) impact hammer is provided, including an upper joint, a shell, a drainage device, an upper fixed valve sleeve, a lower fixed valve sleeve, a main valve, a piston hammer, a supporting sleeve, a sealing piston, a guiding sleeve, a stop ring, a fixing casing pipe, and a drilling bit. The impact hammer is internally defined with a first chamber, a second chamber, a third chamber and a pressure relief chamber. The first chamber is responsible for providing drilling fluid to move the piston hammer up and down by realizing the pressure change of the drilling fluid in the second and third chambers through the holes and flow channels in the upper and lower fixed valve sleeves. The impact hammer transfers the main pressure relief mode from the axis of the impact hammer to the pressure relief chamber between the supporting sleeve and the shell.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of hot dry rock (HDR), hard formation mining and oil and gas drilling, and more particularly to a valve-controlled high-energy hydrostatic down-the-hole (DTH) impact hammer.


BACKGROUND

With the development of exploration and development of oil and natural gas resources in China, the complex geological characteristics, such as harder rock formation, deep buried oil and gas, and high formation temperature and pressure, are becoming more and more obvious. There is an urgent need for oil drilling, HDR, and hard formation mining to greatly improve the drilling rate and effectively reduce the drilling cost.


It is difficult to meet the current requirements of improving drilling rate by developing new drilling bits and optimizing drilling parameters in a conventional manner. Hydraulic rotary-percussion drilling technology is one of the effective technical means to solve the problem of low mechanical drilling rate in hard formations. The hydraulic rotary-percussion drilling technology is a combination of percussive drilling and rotary drilling. Its working principle is to install a special impactor on a specific drilling bit, the impactor applies a certain frequency impact load to the drilling bit on the basis of dual effects of weight on bit (WOB, also referred to as drilling pressure) and torque, and drilling is carried out under combined effects of impact crushing and rotary scraping. Rotary-percussion drilling has the advantages of improving drilling efficiency and WOB transmission efficiency in hard rock formations. In addition, this technology also has the function of preventing well deviation, especially for strata with formation dip angle, which can ensure good wellbore quality. However, the impact energy of the current hydraulic impactor is not high, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and the impact frequency is also low. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a hydraulic impactor with high frequency and large impact power to meet the needs of oil and gas drilling, HDR and hard formation mining at present.


The disclosure relies on the static pressure of drilling fluid to push a piston hammer to impact the drilling bit to do work. Compared with the related art based on traditional dynamic pressure, the pressure drop of the impactor is high and the drilling efficiency is greatly improved. The disclosure also transfers a main pressure relief flow channel from an axis of the impactor to a pressure relief chamber located between a supporting sleeve and a shell, so that most of the space at the axis of the impactor is reserved for the piston hammer, so as to improve the quality of the piston hammer, further improve the impact power of the impactor, and carry out efficient rock breaking.


SUMMARY

A purpose of the disclosure is to provide a valve-controlled high-energy hydrostatic DTH impact hammer (also referred to impactor), which can not only improve the quality of a piston hammer, but also use the static pressure of drilling fluid to push the piston hammer to accelerate downward impact on a drilling bit, so as to improve the final impact speed of the piston hammer.

A working process of the disclosure in drilling operation is as follows.


The disclosure relates to the valve-controlled high-energy hydrostatic DTH impact hammer. In the initial state, the lower end face of the main valve 15 is in contact with the first positioning step part 77 of the upper end face of the lower fixed valve sleeve 7 under the action of gravity, and the lower end face of the piston hammer 17 is in contact with the upper end face of the drilling bit 13 under the action of gravity. At this time, the first pressurized holes 41 in the upper fixed valve sleeve 4 are respectively connected to the second pressurized holes 151 in the main valve 15, and the first pressure relief holes 42 in the upper fixed valve sleeve 4 are not connected to the second pressure relief holes 152 in the main valve 15. Due to the blocking of the piston hammer 17, the control holes 74 in the control flow channel 73 are not connected to the fourth pressure relief holes 172 in the piston hammer 17. At this time, the first chamber 2 is connected to the second chamber 16 through the first pressurized holes 41, the second pressurized holes 151 and the pressurized flow channel 71, and the third chamber 18 is connected to the control chamber 5 through the control flow channels 73. High-pressure drilling fluid enters from the upper joint 1 and enters the first chamber 2 through the drainage holes 141 on the drainage device 14, part of the high-pressure drilling fluid enters the pressurized flow channel 71 through the first pressurized holes 41 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4 and the second pressurized holes 151 on the main valve 15, and the part of the high-pressure drilling fluid enters the second chamber 16 through the pressurized flow channel 71; and part of the high-pressure drilling fluid enters the third chamber 18 through the constant flow channels 72 on the lower fixed valve sleeve 7 and enters the control chamber 5 through the control flow channels 73. At this time, the first chamber 2, the second chamber 16, the third chamber 18, and the control flow channels 73 are all filled with high-pressure drilling fluid and constantly pressurized, because the area of the upper end surface of the piston hammer 17 is much larger than that of the lower third step surface 175, and the piston hammer 17 remains stationary at this time. The area of the second step surface 154 on the main valve 15 is 2-3 times that of the first step surface 153. The main valve 15 moves upward for a certain distance under the pressure difference, so that the second pressure relief holes 152 on the main valve 15 are respectively connected to the first pressure relief holes 42 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4, and the second pressurized holes 151 on the main valve 15 are not connected to the first pressure relief holes 41 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4. The high-pressure drilling fluid in the second chamber 16 is connected to the pressure relief chamber 6 through the pressurized flow channel 71, the second pressure relief holes 152 in the main valve 15 and the first pressure relief holes 42 in the upper fixed valve sleeve 4, and then is connected to the third pressure relief holes 91 in the sealing piston 9. When the piston hammer 17 goes up, it is connected to the first pressure relief flow channel 131 and then is connected to the outside. At this time, the second chamber 16 is in a low-pressure state, and the high-pressure drilling fluid of the third chamber 18 acts on the third step surface 175 of the outer surface of the piston hammer 17, causing the piston hammer 17 to accelerate upward.


After the piston hammer 17 accelerates upward for a certain distance, it will block the connection between the control flow channels 73 and the third chamber 18. At this time, both the control flow channels 73 and the control chamber 5 are filled with high-pressure drilling fluid to keep the main valve 15 still. The high-pressure drilling fluid in the third chamber 18 continues to act on the third step surface 175 on the outer surface of the piston hammer 17, so that the piston hammer 17 continues to accelerate upward. When the piston hammer 17 continues to ascend for a certain distance, the third groove 171 on the outer surface of the piston hammer 17 makes the control holes 74 on the control flow channel 73 be connected to the fourth pressure relief holes 172 on the piston hammer 17, the high-pressure drilling fluid in the control chamber 5 is connected to the fourth pressure relief holes 172 through the control holes 74 on the control flow channel 73, enters the second pressure relief flow channel 174, and then is connected to the outside, so that the control chamber 5 is in a low-pressure state. The first step surface 153 on the main valve 15 is subjected to the pressure of high-pressure drilling fluid, so that the main valve 15 moves downward for a certain distance under the pressure difference, so that the first pressurized holes 41 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4 are connected to the second pressurized holes 151 on the main valve 15, and the first pressure relief holes 42 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4 are not connected to the second pressure relief holes 152 on the main valve 15. At this time, part of the high-pressure drilling fluid in the first chamber 2 continues to pass through the first pressurized holes 41 in the upper fixed valve sleeve 4 and the second pressurized holes 151 in the main valve 15, enters the pressurized flow channel 71, and then enters the second chamber 16 through the pressurized flow channel 71 to pressurize the second chamber 16, so that the piston hammer 17 enters the upward deceleration stage.


When the piston hammer 17 runs to the upper dead point, under the action of the high-pressure drilling fluid in the second chamber 16, the piston hammer 17 starts to accelerate downward and hit the drilling bit 13. After the piston hammer 17 moves downward for a certain distance, the piston hammer 17 blocks the connection between the control holes 74 connected to the control flow channel 73 and the fourth pressure relief holes 172 in the piston hammer 17. Just before the piston hammer 17 hits the drilling bit 13, the control flow channels 73 are connected to the third chamber 18, and the piston hammer 17 hits the drilling bit 13 due to inertia. The high-pressure drilling fluid in the third chamber 18 enters the control chamber 5 through the control flow channels 73, and the main valve 15 moves upward for a certain distance under the action of the upper and lower pressure difference, so that the second pressure relief holes 152 on the main valve 15 are connected to the first pressure relief holes 42 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4, and the second pressure relief holes 151 on the main valve 15 are not connected to the first pressure relief holes 41 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4. The high-pressure drilling fluid in the second chamber 16 is connected to the pressure relief chamber 6 through the pressurized flow channel 71, the second pressure relief holes 152 on the main valve 15 and the first pressure relief holes 42 on the upper fixed valve sleeve 4, and then is connected to the third pressure relief holes 91 in the sealing piston 9. When the piston hammer 17 goes up, the high-pressure drilling fluid is connected to the first pressure relief flow channel 131 and then connected to the outside. At this time, the second chamber 16 is in a low-pressure state, and the high-pressure drilling fluid of the third chamber 18 acts on the third step surface 175 of the outer surface of the piston hammer 17 to accelerate the piston hammer 17 in the reverse direction, so reciprocating.


The basic principle, main features and advantages of the disclosure have been shown and described above. The above is only the illustrated embodiments of the disclosure and is not intended to limit the disclosure in any form. Although the disclosure has been disclosed in the illustrated embodiment, but not for the purpose of limiting the disclosure, any skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications into an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes by using the technical content disclosed above without departing from the technical content of the disclosure.
