Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of drilling construction, in particular to a rotating drill pipe directional construction trajectory measurement deviation correction device and use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rotating drill pipe directional construction technology is one of the key technologies in modern geological exploration, oil and gas drilling, underground pipeline laying and other engineering, which controls the spatial trajectory of the drill bit in real time during drilling to make it advance along the preset path, thereby realizing accurate exploitation of underground resources or precise construction of engineering structures.

[0003] However, in the actual construction process, due to the heterogeneity of underground rock structure, the interaction between drilling tools and strata, the fluctuation of drilling fluid performance and the improper matching of operation parameters, the drill bit is prone to unexpected trajectory deviation.

[0004] Traditional deviation correction methods are mostly based on experience and periodic drilling detection, or use simple mechanical deviation correction devices, which have significant lag in deviation correction response, making it difficult to realize real-time monitoring and immediate control. When the deviation is obvious, a large deviation has often been formed, resulting in high correction cost and difficulty in implementation. At the same time, it is highly dependent on manual intervention, and the automation and intelligence level is insufficient, which seriously restricts the accuracy, efficiency and reliability of directional drilling.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, a rotating drill pipe directional construction trajectory measurement deviation correction device can be designed. The device integrates a plurality of sensors, driving mechanisms and control systems between the drill pipe and the drill bit to realize continuous online monitoring of the spatial pose of the drill bit and stratum information. Based on the monitoring data, deviation correction instructions are automatically generated through intelligent algorithms, and the driving mechanism is used to adjust the direction of the drill bit in multiple degrees of freedom quickly and accurately. The device not only can perform real-time correction operation, but also can predict the potential trajectory of the drill bit in the future drilling section by combining historical and real-time data collected by multiple sensors, so as to start the driving mechanism and actuator for pre-adjustment in advance, thereby significantly improving the automation level and construction accuracy of trajectory control.
