When the inner drilling tool structure 4 is drilling downward, the reamer 42 is in an expanded state so as to form a well 100 with a diameter larger than the casing 221; when the inner drilling tool structure 4 carries the monitoring system 2 through the wellhead and reenters the cone casing system 1, the reamer 42 is adjusted to a evasive state; when the inner drilling tool structure 4 needs to be recovered to the mother ship, the reamer 42 is also adjusted to a evasive state to facilitate its recovery from the casing 221 of the monitoring system 2. The drill bit 43 is connected to the bottom end of the drill pipe 41 and is used to break rocks and drill downward.

[0083] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the reamer while drilling 42 is a conventional device in the art, and its specific structure and principle are not described in detail herein.

[0084] In addition, in this embodiment, a drill collar 44 is provided at the bottom of the drill rod 41, which is used to apply drilling pressure to the drill bit 43, reduce the vibration, swing, and jump of the drill bit 43, and make the drill bit 43 work smoothly. A screw motor 45 is also connected to the drill rod 41. When the inner drill tool is drilling downward, the mud pump is turned on, and the mud flow pumped out by the mud pump enters the screw motor 45, forming a certain pressure difference at the inlet and outlet of the motor, driving the rotor to rotate around the stator, and transmitting the speed and torque to the drill bit 43 through the universal shaft and the transmission shaft, thereby realizing the downward drilling of the inner drill tool structure 4. A stabilizer 46 is also provided between the screw motor 45 and the drill bit 43 to prevent the drill bit 43 from tilting and ensure that the overall downward movement direction of the inner drill tool structure 4 is accurate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drill collar 44, the screw motor 45 and the stabilizer 46 are all conventional devices in the field, and their specific structures and principles are not repeated here.

[0085] S3: Send the geological monitoring structure 224 into the open hole 101 at the bottom of the well 100 and couple it with the stratum.

[0086] The above steps are specific to this embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the volume strain gauge 2242 and the broadband seismometer 2241 are installed in sequence and connected to the umbilical cable 2243 respectively. The connected geological monitoring structure 224 is passed through the casing 221 and sent into the open hole 101 at the bottom of the well 100. Then, slurry is injected into the grouting side pipe to gradually fill the gap between the broadband seismometer 2241 and the inner wall of the open hole 101 and the gap between the volume strain gauge 2242 and the inner wall of the open hole 101. After the slurry solidifies, the coupling between the broadband seismometer 2241 and the formation and the coupling between the volume strain gauge 2242 and the formation can be realized. Specifically, in this embodiment, the umbilical cable 2243 is a conventional device in the art, and its specific structure and principle are not repeated here.

[0087] S4: Pressurize the multiple packers 2221 to a sealing state to form multiple sealing spaces, and then drain the disturbed fluid in each sealing space.

[0088] In the above steps, specifically in this embodiment, an injection pump is provided on the ROV5, and the injection pump is connected to the isolation pipeline 222. The multiple packers 2221 are pressurized by the injection pump, so that each packer 2221 is in an isolation state, forming multiple isolation spaces. Then, the suction pump on the ROV5 is used to drain the disturbed fluid in each isolation space to ensure the subsequent monitoring and sampling of the in-situ fluid. It should be noted that during the lowering process of the entire device, the fluid in each formation will be disturbed, causing the fluid in each formation to be disturbed and form a disturbed fluid.

[0089] Specifically, the injection pump can inject gas into the packer 2221 to achieve pressurization and expansion of the packer 2221; or, fluid, such as water, mud, etc., can be injected into the packer 2221 to achieve pressurization and expansion of the packer 2221.

[0090] S5: Use the formation monitoring structure 223 and the geological monitoring structure 224 to conduct long-term monitoring.

[0091] The above steps, specifically in this embodiment, use the formation monitoring structure 223 and the geological monitoring structure 224 to perform long-term monitoring, and the ROV5 regularly collects the monitoring data collected by the wellhead monitoring unit 21.
