Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and natural gas drilling equipment, in particular to a continuous shock source nipple near the drill bit at the bottom of a gas drilling well. It can be used for formation information while drilling and prediction of drill bit position. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in the process of drilling horizontal wells and highly deviated wells with gas, the phenomenon that the drill bit deviates from the drilling trajectory often occurs. The reason for this phenomenon is usually the design error in the design process of the wellbore trajectory. In order to solve the above problems, during drilling, the seismic waves generated by the vibration near the drill bit at the bottom of the hole can be used to locate the drill bit trajectory and modify the wellbore trajectory in time. For example, when drilling a vertical well section, the vibration near the bottom of the well is received by p...

Problems solved by technology

This method has the following problems during use: (1) It is only suitable for roller cone bits and cannot be used for PDC bits; (2) The vibration of the drill bit is random and the impact energy is small; (3) The rotation of the bottom hole drill bit It will affect the reception of the bottom hole reflection wave. At the same time, the vibration of the bottom hole assembly will also affect the vibration of the drill bit; (4) The vibration of the downhole drill bit is not suitable for soft formations, deep well sections and horizontal well sections. The reflected wave information collected by the surface in the extended-reach well has a large attenuation

Among them, the electric spark source and the air gun source are suitable for offshore operations, not suitable for gas drilling; the pneumatic source is to introduce combustible gas into the explosion chamber, and then detonate it by electric sparks. The pulse generated during the explosion is transmitted from the bottom plate of the explosion chamber to the ground , the large reaction force of the seismic source requires high drilling pressure and high requirements for the strength of the explosion chamber, which affects drilling safety, and the excitation energy of a single impact is low, requiring multiple excitations; the heavy hammer seismic source requires a large weight of the hammer, which is not easy It is used for downhole operations, and the energy of a single impact is limited and the consistency is poor

[0005] In addition, the air hammer used in the gas drilling process generates a pulse shock source through the continuous impact of the piston on the hammer head, and the frequency-sweeping hydraulic pulse jar quickly cuts off the mud flow in the flow channel through a self-driven diverter valve to generate a pulse shock. Although the air hammer and Both swept frequency hydraulic pulse jars can be used as downhole sources, but both types of sources also encounter difficulties in application

First of all, in order to obtain the random distribution of the impact rate, hundreds or even thousands of impacts are required, and the receiving time can usually reach several minutes. Conventional seismic recording instruments cannot meet the requirements, and special seismic recording instruments are needed to achieve it. The long impact time also reduces the efficiency of exploration and construction, increases the construction cost, and affects the operation time and safety of drilling

Secondly, despite the large number of impacts, it is difficult to obtain a truly random sequence due to the inherent limitations of the air hammer and the frequency-sweeping hydraulic pulse jar, so severe correlation noise will have a great impact on the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic records
