TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas drilling engineering, and in particular to a controllable rotary sliding guide drilling signal transmission and identification method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The bending screw sliding guide technology is low in cost, and therefore the bending screw sliding guide is still mainly used for horizontal well guide in China. For example, in 2020, the bending screw sliding guide accounted for more than 90% in Changqing tight oil and gas. In the process of bending screw sliding guide, the drill string does not rotate, and the drill string is prone to "pressure holding" due to large friction, which causes the drilling pressure to be unable to be effectively transmitted, and the mechanical drilling speed is usually only 1 / 10-1 / 5 of that of rotary drilling. "Pressure holding" causes the tool face to be difficult to adjust and control, and the drilling time is reduced by more than 30%. Moreover, a rock cuttings bed is easily formed, and the risk of sticking is high.
[0003] Drill string rotation is one of the most effective means to solve the "pressure holding" of sliding drilling. The drill string torsional pendulum system developed by PetroChina Chuanqing has realized the reciprocating rotation of the upper drill string, and the speed is increased by more than 30%. However, the application depth of the system is limited, and the speed is limited above the 2000m horizontal section. Based on the fact that the larger the rotation range of the drill string in sliding drilling is, the better the drilling effect is, the industry has proposed a new idea of "controllable rotary sliding" sliding guide, in which the drill string above the MWD is fully rotated, and the drill string below the MWD is static. Based on this principle, a number of similar patents have been invented at home and abroad, such as US5458208, US5311952, CN2651413Y, CN105525875A, CN201910386427.2, US9109402B1, CN208040307U, CN109750989A, etc. These patents are all purely mechanical, without electronic devices, and do not require signal transmission. However, there are technical problems such as uncontrollable tool face angle and large error. There is no report on the transformation of such patents. The patent CN201710028105.1 can realize real-time regulation of the tool face, but the regulation of the tool face involves mud signal downlink technology. The use of this technology requires a matching surface mud pulse emission system and downhole decoding system, which increases the operation cost of rotary sliding guide, and is not conducive to reducing the drilling cost of rotary sliding guide technology. It can be seen that the controllable rotary sliding bending screw guide drilling technology is still not mature enough to be applied to production practice. Therefore, it is urgent to invent a new signal transmission technology with low cost and good reliability. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, a controllable rotary sliding guide drilling signal transmission and identification method and system are invented. The method comprises the following steps:
[0005] S1: On the ground, set the controllable rotary sliding guide drilling tool (4) to two states, state 0 and state 1, wherein state 0 is composite drilling: top drive rotation + bent-screw mandrel rotation, and state 1 is rotary sliding guide drilling, and write the corresponding program into the measurement and control system (7);
[0006] S2: Before going down the well, initialize the controllable rotary sliding guide drilling tool (4) to state 0, lower the drilling tool into the well bottom, rotate the top drive, and drive the drill bit (1) to perform composite drilling;
[0007] S3: If rotary sliding guide drilling according to the target tool face angle β is needed, stop the top drive rotation, receive the real-time tool face angle α measured by the MWD (3) on the ground, adjust the bent-screw (2) tool face angle, and when ∣β-α∣<Δγ, the tool face angle adjustment is completed; stop the pump for 30s-60s, the measurement and control system (7) recognizes the effective signal of stopping the pump for 30s-60s, sets the controllable rotary sliding guide drilling tool (4) to state 1, and controls the electromagnetic valve group to control the controllable rotary sliding guide drilling tool (4) to isolate the upper rotation and the lower torque according to the target tool face angle β, and controls the bent-screw (2) to perform rotary sliding guide drilling according to the target tool face angle β±Δγ;
[0008] S4: If composite drilling is needed, stop the pump for 30s-60s, the measurement and control system (7) recognizes the effective signal of stopping the pump for 30s-60s, and sets the controllable rotary sliding guide drilling tool (4) to state 0 (composite drilling).
[0009] The pump stopping signal is recognized by the pressure difference ΔP of the tubing pressure P1 measured by the tubing pressure sensor (11) and the tubing external pressure P2 measured by the tubing external pressure sensor (10).
[0010] In S3, the bent-screw (2) performs rotary sliding guide drilling according to the target tool face angle β±Δγ, which consists of the following steps:
[0011] S31: The measurement and control system (7) measures the pressure difference ΔP of the tubing pressure P1 measured by the tubing pressure sensor (11) and the tubing external pressure P2 measured by the tubing external pressure sensor (10) in real time;
[0012] S32: When the pressure difference ΔP<0.5-1MPa, store the initial time t0;
[0013] S33: When the pressure difference ΔP<0.5-1MPa lasts for 30s, store the bent-screw tool face angle δ measured by the tool face angle measuring instrument (12) according to a frequency of 1-10Hz;
[0014] S34: When the pressure difference ΔP < 0.5-1 MPa lasts for a time t = 30 s-60 s, the stored bent-screw tool face angle δ is filtered and averaged to obtain the bent-screw tool face angle δ1;
[0015] S35: The rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) is switched to state 1;
[0016] S36: The bent-screw (2) is rotated and slid to guide drilling according to the target tool face angle δ1±Δγ.
[0017] The state 0 and the state 1 in S1 are opposite states, that is, the controllable rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) is always in the state 0 or the state 1; when the controllable rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) is in the state 0, the measurement and control system (7) changes the controllable rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) to the state 1 when an effective signal of 30 s-60 s is recognized; when the controllable rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) is in the state 1, the measurement and control system (7) changes the controllable rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) to the state 0 when an effective signal of 30 s-60 s is recognized.
[0018] The measurement and control system (7) measures the rotating speed R of the MWD (3) and the bent-screw (2) in real time by using the tool face measuring instrument (12), and sets the state of the controllable rotating sliding guide drilling tool (4) to 0 when the rotating speed R > 5 r / min, so that the pump stopping process during the conversion from the sliding guide drilling state to the composite drilling state can be avoided, the non-drilling operation time is reduced, and the drilling efficiency is improved.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0020] (1) The signal capacity is small, the decoding success rate is high, and the reliability is good. The present application only has two signals of “0” and “1”, and the signals are alternately implemented, so that the signal capacity is very small, the bottomhole measurement and control system can easily recognize and decode, and the reliability is extremely high.
[0021] (2) The system structure is simple, and the cost is low. The present application does not need a mud pulse transmission system and a complex mud pulse decoding system at the bottomhole, and the software and hardware systems are simple, so that the cost is low.
[0022] (3) The efficiency is high, and the auxiliary operation time for signal transmission is short. The present application only needs to stop the pump for 30-60 s or increase the rotating speed to realize signal transmission, so that the time consumption is short, and the efficiency is extremely high.
