Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coring bits, in particular to a self-adaptive hole diameter coring bit. BACKGROUND

[0002] In drilling engineering such as oil and gas resource investigation, geothermal exploration and scientific drilling, obtaining core of target formation is an important engineering purpose of engineering implementation, and the core is mainly obtained by drilling in the target formation in the well by using a coring tool, wherein the coring bit is a component of the coring tool for directly drilling the core. At present, the coring tasks required by different types of drilling engineering are not the same, mainly including coring of local target formation in the well and continuous coring in the well, and therefore the bits used in different well sections are also different. Influenced by the bit types, structural features and well formation pressure release used in different well sections, irregular well wall (spiral well wall, local bulge, pit or step, etc.) and irregular hole diameter size are easily caused, and the coring tool is often blocked during running in and tripping out during coring operation, and therefore the coring tool needs to be continuously reamed in the blocked well section to trim the well wall and hole diameter, which directly causes damage of the bit blocks of the coring bit mainly used for grinding rock, and easily deteriorates the well quality and greatly reduces the service life of the coring bit.

[0003] The existing coring bit mainly includes a bit block and a steel body, wherein the bit block is formed by hard alloy or PDC composite sheet by welding or diamond powder hot pressing, and then a plurality of bit blocks are fixed to the steel body by embedding or welding to form an integrated coring bit. The inner and outer diameters of the coring bit of different sizes are fixed values, and therefore the bit blocks are easily damaged abnormally when the irregular well wall or the hole diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the coring bit is encountered during running in and tripping out.

[0004] The existing coring bit mainly includes a bit block and a steel body, wherein a certain number of bit blocks are fixed to the end of the steel body by embedding or welding to form an integrated coring bit. The outer diameter of the coring bit is fixed and consistent with the hole diameter of the drilled well section, and the inner diameter is the diameter of the drilled core. When the coring operation is performed, the coring bit is easily blocked and needs to be reamed for a long time when the irregular well wall or the small hole diameter is encountered. Due to the fixed structure of the inner and outer diameters of the coring bit, the outer diameter of the coring bit is easily reduced during reaming, which reduces the service life of the coring bit and has the risk of drilling a small diameter hole.
