Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oil drilling, and particularly to a variable-diameter bidirectional hole reamer device while drilling and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the deepening of oil and gas exploitation, the drilling depth is gradually increasing, and the problems encountered in drilling are becoming more and more complex, facing more and more complex wellbore structures and formation structures. During construction in some areas, situations such as wellbore diameter reduction, irregular wellbore, or narrow annulus space for casing running may be encountered. Conventional methods can only perform long-term reaming operations during drilling or tripping to achieve the purpose of removing diameter reduction and trimming the wellbore wall, which will consume a large amount of manpower, material resources, and time.

[0003] In the prior art, technicians have manufactured a tool for enlarging the wellbore - downhole hole reamer, also known as reaming bit. Common hole reamers can generally be divided into fixed-wing hole reamers and movable-wing hole reamers. Movable-wing hole reamers are divided into arm-type hole reamers and block-type hole reamers according to different reaming bodies. The reaming body of the arm-type hole reamer is usually fixed to the body by a pin shaft and can rotate around a fixed axis within a certain angle range. After the reaming body is opened, it is like two outstretched arms; the reaming body of the block-type hole reamer is wedge-shaped and cannot rotate, and can protrude or retract into the body under the action of hydraulic or mechanical thrust. Due to the use of vulnerable parts such as springs, the opening and closing actions of the arm-type hole reamer are easily affected by the performance of drilling fluid, especially the solid content; the machining accuracy requirements for the cutter wings of the block-type hole reamer are relatively high. In addition, due to the limitation of the body wall thickness on the block size, the radial size of the reaming body is small, so the pilot hole can only be enlarged by about 25%.

[0004] In addition, after the fixed-wing hole reamer and most movable-wing hole reamers complete the hole reaming operation, the drill string must be pulled out of the well, and only after replacing the conventional drill string can drilling continue. The operation instructions of the hole reamers in the prior art are single. After entering the well, it can only perform hole reaming operations and cannot perform selective hole reaming operations. For example, in the section where the wellbore wall is stable and no hole reaming is required, it will also perform hole reaming operations, which increases the equipment burden; for example, when the cutter body is worn, only the drill string can be pulled out of the well to replace the hole reamer, and it is impossible to temporarily suspend hole reaming and wait until the drill bit is worn and then pull out the drill string to replace them together, and so on.

[0005] In summary, the self-structure of the existing hole reamers is still not perfect enough to fully meet the requirements of drilling engineering, and it is still necessary to improve the design according to actual needs and explore a more reasonable structural form. Summary of the Invention

One end of the spiral cutter blade 8 is provided with a cutter-out mechanism, the other end is provided with a reset cutter-retracting mechanism, and a cutter blade control mechanism is arranged on one side of the cutter-out mechanism. With such a structure, the cutter-out mechanism can push the spiral cutter blade 8 to move from bottom to top so that the spiral cutter blade 8 extends, the reset cutter-retracting mechanism can push the spiral cutter blade 8 to move from top to bottom so that the spiral cutter blade 8 retracts, and the cutter blade control mechanism is activated by the displacement of the mud pump, thereby controlling the cutter-out mechanism to push the spiral cutter blade 8.

At this time, the core shaft hole 20 communicates with the side hole 21 of the intermediate connecting cylinder; high-pressure mud can enter the cavity from the core shaft hole 20 and the side hole 21 of the intermediate connecting cylinder, thereby pushing the lower guide shaft 10 and the lower push plate 9, so that the spiral cutter blade 8 extends out of the outlet hole and starts the hole enlargement operation; after the operation is completed, the mud pump is shut down, and the mud in the cavity flows out. The core shaft 13 moves upward under the pushing action of the second spring 19. The limit pin 14 is at the C3' position of the track groove 23.

5. The method for using a variable-diameter while-drilling two-way reaming device according to claim 4, the method is as follows: S1. The initial state of the spiral cutter blade (8) is the cutter-retracted position. When drilling to the well section that needs to be reamed, the mud pump is shut down. At this time, the limit pin (14) is at the C1 position of the track groove (23); S2. Open the mud pump and gradually increase the displacement to a small displacement value so that the limit pin (14) is at the C2 position of the track groove (23), then shut down the mud pump. The limit pin (14) is at the C3 position of the track groove (23). At this time, open the mud pump to the normal displacement. The limit pin (14) is at the C4 position of the track groove (23). At this time, the core shaft hole (20) communicates with the side hole (21) of the intermediate connecting cylinder; S3. High-pressure mud can enter the cavity from the core shaft hole (20) and the side hole (21) of the intermediate connecting cylinder, thereby pushing the lower guide shaft (10) and the lower push plate (9) to make the spiral cutter blade (8) extend out of the outlet hole and start the reaming operation. The well can be reamed forward when going down the well and reamed backward when pulling the well out; S4. After the operation is completed, shut down the mud pump. The mud in the cavity flows out. The core shaft (13) moves upward under the pushing action of the second spring (19). The limit pin (14) is at the C3' position of the track groove (23). The spiral cutter blade (8) moves downward under the pushing action of the first spring (18) and retracts into the cutter outlet hole; S5. Open the mud pump to a small displacement value. The limit pin (14) is at the C5 position of the track groove (23), then shut down the mud pump. The limit pin (14) resets to the C1' position of the track groove (23). The tool enters the standby state. Repeating the above steps can perform the reaming operation again.
