technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a drilling tool, in particular to a wellhead bell mouth nipple which improves the measurement sensitivity of the return flow rate of drilling fluid. Background technique
[0002] In the process of oil and gas drilling, measuring the flow rate of drilling fluid is one of the important tasks in the process of oil exploration and development. When the gas invades the drilling fluid, how to measure the drilling fluid return with high precision, reality and accuracy has become a problem that the oil industry needs to explore. It is necessary to judge whether it is overflowing early, and then take effective measures to prevent blowout and blowout out of control, and reduce various losses.
[0003] There are currently several solutions for the measurement of the return flow of drilling fluid. Among them, the baffle flowmeter is the most widely used. Using the principle of the baffle, when the drilling fluid flows through the baffle, i...
