Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling engineering, and particularly relates to an adaptive bottom-hole rock annular grooving stress unloading impact bit and a drilling method. Background Art
[0002] During deep drilling, formation rocks are under the combined action of overlying rock pressure, horizontal in-situ stress, static pressure of drilling fluid and pore pressure. As the well depth increases, the confining pressure on the rocks increases linearly, resulting in an increase in rock strength. Impact drilling technology can significantly improve the mechanical drilling rate, but it is necessary to increase the impact energy of the impact tool. Since the reverse impact energy of the impact tool increases under high confining pressure conditions, it will cause damage to the impact tool, and then reduce the mechanical drilling rate.
[0003] Therefore, how to reduce the compressive effect of in-situ stress on bottom-hole rocks, change the mechanical properties of bottom-hole rocks, and thus improve the mechanical drilling rate is the current mainstream way to increase the drilling speed.
[0004] Based on this, the present application proposes an adaptive bottom-hole rock annular grooving stress unloading impact bit and a drilling method. During impact drilling, the bit can use its own structural characteristics to complete the annular grooving of the bottom-hole rocks, unload the bottom-hole stress, improve the drilling speed, and at the same time reduce the compressive effect of the horizontal in-situ stress on the bottom-hole rocks after the annular grooving of the rocks, thereby reducing the reverse impact energy on the impact tool, having the effect of protecting the impact tool, and preventing the reduction of the mechanical drilling rate caused by the damage of the impact tool. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and provide an adaptive bottom-hole rock annular grooving stress unloading impact bit.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An adaptive bottom-hole rock annular grooving stress unloading impact bit includes a bit sub, a grooving unloading cylinder body, and an impact bit body.
[0008] The upper end of the impact bit body is coaxially and fixedly connected to the radial inner side of the lower end of the bit sub, and the upper end of the grooving unloading cylinder body is axially slidably mated with the radial outer side of the lower end of the bit sub; an annular space is formed between the radial inner surface of the grooving unloading cylinder body and the radial outer surface of the impact bit body.
[0009] An annular step is coaxially and fixedly arranged on the radial inner surface of the grooving unloading cylinder body, and an axial sliding fit is carried out between the radial inner side of the annular step and the radial outer surface of the impact bit body.
[0010] A drill pressure transmission disc spring is arranged in the annular space between the bottom end face of the drill bit sub and the top end face of the annular step;
[0011] A number of annular grooving unloading stress teeth are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction at the lower end of the grooving unloading cylinder body, and impact crushing teeth are arranged at the lower end of the impact drill bit body; when the drill bit reaches the bottom of the well, the annular grooving unloading stress teeth contact the bottom of the well prior to the impact crushing teeth.
[0012] Preferably, a through first drilling fluid flow channel is arranged in the drill bit sub, and a second drilling fluid flow channel communicated with the first drilling fluid flow channel is arranged in the impact drill bit body;
[0013] A first flow channel extending to the bottom end and a second flow channel extending to the side surface are arranged in the impact drill bit body, the upper ends of the first flow channel and the second flow channel are both communicated with the second drilling fluid flow channel, and nozzles are arranged at the lower ends of the first flow channel and the second flow channel.
[0014] Preferably, a number of tooth brackets are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction at the lower end of the grooving unloading cylinder body, and an annular grooving unloading stress tooth is arranged on each tooth bracket.
[0015] Preferably, all the annular grooving unloading stress teeth are arranged on the same side in the circumferential direction of the corresponding tooth brackets.
[0016] Preferably, one end of the central axis of the annular grooving unloading stress tooth away from the tooth bracket inclines downward.
[0017] Preferably, the upper end of the impact drill bit body is threadedly connected to the radial inner side of the lower end of the drill bit sub.
[0018] Preferably, a spline groove matched with the spline on the radial outer side of the lower end of the drill bit sub is arranged on the radial inner side surface at the upper end of the grooving unloading cylinder body.
[0019] The present invention also discloses an impact drilling method for adaptively unloading the annular grooving stress of bottom-hole rock.
[0020] An impact drilling method for adaptively unloading the annular grooving stress of bottom-hole rock is implemented based on an impact drill bit for adaptively unloading the annular grooving stress of bottom-hole rock, and the drilling method includes the following steps:
[0021] Step 1, when the drill bit reaches the bottom of the well, the annular grooving unloading stress teeth contact the bottom of the well prior to the impact crushing teeth, and under the action of the drill pressure, the drill pressure transmission disc spring is compressed to transmit the drill pressure to the annular grooving unloading stress teeth;
[0022] Under the combined action of the drill pressure and the torque, the annular grooving unloading stress teeth cut a ring groove on the bottom end face of the drilling well bottom to unload the bottom-hole pressure;
[0023] Step 2: The drill bit continues to drill, the depth of the annular groove keeps increasing, and the impact crushing teeth start to contact the bottom-hole rock inside the annular groove and break it.
[0024] Step 3: Under the combined action of the drilling pressure and torque, the cutting of the annular groove by the stress unloading teeth of the annular groove and the crushing of the rock inside the annular groove by the impact crushing teeth continue, realizing combined rock breaking.
[0025] During this process:
[0026] The nozzles in the first flow channel and the second flow channel spray drilling fluid outwards. After the drilling fluid cleans the impact crushing teeth and the stress unloading teeth of the annular groove, it carries the crushed rock cuttings through the gaps of the tooth support to the annulus.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0028] (1) Through the structural arrangement of the drill bit itself, the present invention realizes the annular grooving of the bottom-hole rock, unloads the bottom-hole stress, improves the impact rock-breaking efficiency by reducing the rock strength, and increases the drilling speed. At the same time, after the annular grooving of the rock, the compression effect of the horizontal in-situ stress on the bottom-hole rock is reduced, thereby reducing the reverse impact energy on the impact tool, playing a role in protecting the impact tool and preventing the reduction of the mechanical drilling speed caused by the damage of the impact tool.
[0029] (2) In the present invention, the drill pressure transmission disc spring converts the impact of the upper impact tool of the drill bit into a soft impact, that is, it plays a buffering role, thereby protecting the stress unloading teeth of the annular groove.
[0030] (3) In the present invention, a number of stress unloading teeth of the annular groove are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction at the lower end of the cutting groove unloading cylinder body. With this arrangement method, when some stress unloading teeth of the annular groove are damaged, the cutting of the annular groove can still be carried out by other stress unloading teeth of the annular groove, without affecting the use.

[0054] Embodiment 2:
[0055] An adaptive bottom-hole rock annular grooving stress unloading impact drilling method is implemented based on the adaptive bottom-hole rock annular grooving stress unloading impact bit in Embodiment 1. The drilling method includes the following steps:
