Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnetic exploration equipment technology, specifically to a bottom-hole magnetic cleaning tool for eliminating magnetic interference. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic exploration is one of the earliest developed and applied geophysical methods. More than two thousand years ago, our ancestors knew and utilized the iron-attracting and polarity-pointing properties of natural magnets. By observing and analyzing magnetic anomalies caused by differences in the magnetism of rocks, ores, or other objects being explored, they could study geological structures and detect mineral resources. In the field of oil and gas development, the seepage of hydrocarbons into the surface creates a reducing environment in oil and gas fields, which can reduce iron oxide in rocks or soil to magnetite. High-precision magnetometers can detect these magnetic anomalies, allowing them to be combined with other exploration methods to discover oil and gas fields.
[0003] Downhole magnetic logging is primarily used to solve geological problems at the well bottom, around the well, and surrounding the well. It is characterized by its portability, high efficiency, low cost, good performance in many cases, wide operating range, and lack of geographical limitations, making it widely applicable in drilling operations. With the development of modern science and technology and the emergence of technologies such as horizontal wells and multi-branch wells, the requirements for magnetic azimuth accuracy in measurement-while-drilling (MWD) technology are becoming increasingly stringent. Magnetic exploration instruments have evolved from mechanical to electronic types. Due to improved instrument accuracy, continuous improvement and updating of methods, and the ongoing development and refinement of interpretation theories, the application of magnetic exploration has become even broader.
[0004] However, as the accuracy of magnetic exploration instruments continues to improve, the cleanliness of the bottom of the well being probed has an increasingly significant impact on the exploration results. If magnetic materials are present in the probed area, it will greatly affect the results. Furthermore, the accuracy of magnetic exploration data directly affects subsequent drilling risks, drilling success rates, and wellbore trajectory adjustments.
[0005] The errors in this type of magnetic exploration data cannot meet the accuracy requirements of complex structures. With the emergence of directional wells such as horizontal wells and multi-branch wells, the harmfulness of these errors has become increasingly apparent: the surveying industry has increasingly higher demands for the accuracy of magnetic exploration, and there is an urgent need for methods to improve the accuracy of magnetic exploration in order to further enhance the precision of downhole information. Summary of the Invention

Employing a three-stage magnetic structure, it can remove all residual magnetic materials from the wellbore, bottom, mud, and annulus that interfere with magnetic exploration in a single operation. This ensures that magnetic exploration is performed while maintaining a clean bottom, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of magnetic exploration and overcoming the deficiencies and shortcomings described in the background art.
