Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and specific implementation methods can be determined according to the technical solutions and actual conditions of the present invention.
[0019] In this invention, for ease of description, the description of the relative positions of the components is based on the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 The layout is described using a diagrammatic method, such as front, back, top, bottom, left, right, etc. The positional relationships are determined based on the layout direction of the attached diagram in the instruction manual.
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0021] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, the coiled tubing drilling pressure lifting device includes a connecting sleeve 1. The upper inner side of the connecting sleeve 1 is provided with an internal thread, and the lower outer side of the connecting sleeve 1 is provided with an external thread. The middle outer side of the connecting sleeve 1 extends outward to form an outer ring platform 2. The bottom surface of the outer ring platform 2 is a conical surface 3 that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The top surface of the outer ring platform 2 is an annular horizontal surface 4. A number of jet oblique fine holes 5 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the connecting sleeve 1 corresponding to the position below the outer ring platform 2. The angle between the axis of the jet oblique fine hole 5 and the axis of the connecting sleeve 1 is equal to the angle between the generatrix of the conical surface 3 on the outer ring platform 2 and the axis of the connecting sleeve 1. The outer end outlet of the jet oblique fine hole 5 is close to the bottom surface of the outer ring platform 2. In use, this invention is used in conjunction with a coiled tubing tool string, which includes a casing 8, a coiled tubing connector 9, a motor head assembly 10, a screw motor 11, and a drill bit 12. The coiled tubing connector 9, motor head assembly 10, screw motor 11, and drill bit 12 are connected together from top to bottom and installed inside the casing 8. The connecting sleeve 1 is connected between the motor head assembly 10 and the screw motor 11 via internal and external threads at the top and bottom. During the drilling operation on the drill bit 13, fluid is pumped into the tool string from the coiled tubing by a surface pumping device. A schematic diagram of the fluid flow direction in this invention is attached. Figure 3As shown, under the action of the bit 12 water hole and the screw motor 11 throttle, part of the fluid flows from the connecting sleeve 1 to the annular area between the connecting sleeve 1 and the inner wall of the sleeve 8 through the jet inclined hole 5. Since the angle between the axis of the jet inclined hole 5 and the axis of the connecting sleeve 1 is equal to the angle between the generatrix of the conical surface 3 on the outer ring shoulder 2 and the axis of the connecting sleeve 1 and the aperture of the jet inclined hole 5 is smaller, a high-speed jet is formed on the area near the bottom surface of the outer ring shoulder 2. Since the jet inclined hole 5 is uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, according to the Bernoulli principle of fluid mechanics, a local negative pressure area is formed near the bottom surface of the outer ring shoulder 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the pressure of the bottom surface area of the outer ring shoulder 2 is P2, and the pressure of the top surface area of the outer ring shoulder 2 is P1. A stable pressure difference ΔP (ΔP = P1-P2) is formed on the outer ring shoulder 2 during operation, and the size of the axial force can be represented in combination with the tool structure parameters:
[0022]
[0023] During operation, the ground pump injection is a continuous process, and another part of the fluid in the drill string continues to flow downward through the screw motor 11 and the bit 12, and returns to the ground through the annulus. During this process, P1>P2.
[0024] Suppose the ground pump injection displacement during operation is Q, and the discharge from the jet hole of the present application is Q0. The fluid characteristics of the entire tool string area are analyzed. During annular flow, due to the influence of the outer diameter of the present application, a throttling pressure reduction effect upward is generated, which will weaken the pressure amplitude of the negative pressure area formed due to the high-speed jet. Therefore, the influence on the effect of lifting the drilling pressure needs to be considered, and the following calculation is performed:
[0025] (1) The negative pressure value P0 generated by the high-speed jet of the jet hole of the present application jet :
[0026]
[0027] (2) The reverse throttling pressure difference P2 generated by the annular fluid throttling c :
[0028]
[0029] (3) The real stable pressure difference ΔP formed during operation:
[0030]
[0031] (4) The additional drilling pressure value ΔF increased during operation:
[0032]
[0033] In the above formula, each parameter has the following meaning:
[0034] D - the maximum outer diameter of the outer ring shoulder 2, m;
[0035] D c - the inner diameter of the sleeve 8, m;
[0036] n - the number of jet inclined holes 5, pieces;
[0037] d - the diameter of the jet inclined hole 5, m;
[0038] d0 - the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 1 at the upper part of the outer ring shoulder 2, m;
[0039] d1 - the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 1 at the lower part of the outer ring shoulder 2, m;
[0040] ρ - the density of the pumped fluid, kg / m 3 ;
[0041] Q0 - the flow rate of the jet inclined hole 5 during the operation process, m 3 / s;
[0042] Q - the ground pump injection flow rate during the operation process, m 3 / s;
[0043] △P - the real pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the outer ring shoulder 2 during the operation process, Pa;
[0044] △F - the additional drilling pressure applied by the present application during the operation process, N.
[0045] Thus, during the coiled tubing drilling and grinding operation, the present application can provide the drill bit 12 with an additional drilling pressure value △F, which is closely related to the above-mentioned parameters. During the determination of the specific parameters of the tool, the actual drilling and grinding operation well parameters need to be optimized to achieve the best effect.
[0046] The application forms a high-speed jet flow at the bottom surface of the outer ring platform 2 through the structure design, and according to Bernoulli's principle, a negative pressure area is formed in the area, and under the action of the pressure difference between the upper and lower pressures, a thrust in the direction of the well bottom is formed on the operation tool string, so that the purpose of increasing the effective drilling pressure is achieved. The whole device has simple structure and strong applicability, can increase the drilling pressure of the coiled tubing by more than 15%, and correspondingly increase the horizontal section of the coiled tubing by more than 15%, realize the engineering purpose of improving the drilling pressure value and the maximum depth of the coiled tubing, compared with the way of adding metal resistance reducing agent in the workover fluid or introducing a hydraulic oscillator, a jar and the like in the operation tool string to improve the effective drilling pressure or the depth of the coiled tubing, the device has simple structure, low manufacturing cost and strong applicability, can well solve the problem of difficult drilling pressure application in the coiled tubing drilling and milling operation, and can improve the effective depth of the coiled tubing to a certain extent, which lays a solid foundation for the coiled tubing operation of the ultra-deep well and the ultra-long horizontal section horizontal well, and plays an important role.
[0047] According to actual needs, the coiled tubing drilling pressure lifting device can be further optimized or / and improved:
[0048] Preferably, the included angle between the generatrix of the conical surface 3 and the axis of the connecting sleeve body 1 is 20 degrees to 75 degrees. In this embodiment, the included angle between the generatrix of the conical surface 3 and the axis of the connecting sleeve body 1 is 30 degrees.
