Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drilling mud circulation equipment, in particular to a continuous drilling equivalent circulation density reduction control device. Background Art
[0002] In oil and gas field drilling, the difference between the collapse pressure and the fracture pressure is usually called the pressure window, and is often expressed by equivalent density, often referred to as the density window. When the density window is very narrow and the equivalent circulating density of the drilling mud is close to the fracture pressure curve, the drilling mud is easy to fracture the formation and cause mud loss, resulting in drilling shutdown. Therefore, the equivalent circulating density of the drilling mud must be reduced so that the equivalent circulating density is near the median of the density window to improve the operability of drilling under narrow density window conditions. However, most of the current pressure reduction tools use downhole pumps or rotating blades and other mechanisms to provide power for the upward return fluid to achieve pressure reduction, and cannot fundamentally solve the high equivalent circulating density.

[0039] The upper delivery chamber 12 is arranged above the mud conveying pipe 1 .
[0040] In this embodiment, a plurality of main delivery holes are distributed circumferentially in the mud delivery pipe 1, and a circulation bin 14 is symmetrically fixed above and below the mud delivery pipe 1, and the circulation bin 14 is connected with each of the main delivery holes through a joint pipe. A valve seat 13 is fixed below the mud delivery pipe 1, and the mud upward bypass hole is connected with the circulation bin 14 located below through the valve seat 13, that is, the drilling mud is mainly transported upward through the main delivery holes.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the water injection callback component 2 includes:
[0042] A water accumulation chamber 21 is provided in the mud conveying pipe 1, and a water inlet pipe 22 is vertically connected to one side of the water accumulation chamber 21;
[0043] A guide pipe 23 is provided corresponding to each of the main delivery holes;
[0044] The lower flow chamber 26 is fixed below the mud delivery pipe 1, and the two ends of the delivery pipe are connected to the water accumulation chamber 21 and the lower flow chamber 26 through a transfer pipe;
[0045] An intermediate frame 24 is fixed at the inner center of the main delivery hole, the guide pipe 23 is connected to the intermediate frame 24, and a ball shaft is fixed to the guide pipe 23, and the guide pipe 23 is rotatably connected to the intermediate frame 24 through the ball shaft; and
[0046] The lower delivery seat 27 is fixed below the lower flow bin 26 , and a plurality of lower through holes are provided in the lower delivery seat 27 , and the lower through holes are communicated with the lower flow bin 26 .
[0047] In this embodiment, the water injection callback component 2 also includes:
[0048] The flow-blocking insert 25 is a plurality of vertically arranged flow-blocking inserts 25, each of which is fixedly sleeved on the guide pipe 23, and the guide pipe 23 is provided with a corresponding flow inlet hole, and the cross section of the flow-blocking insert 25 is set to an inverted trapezoidal structure; in particular, on the one hand, the flow-blocking insert can form multi-stage flow blockage in the main delivery hole, at which time the fine sand in the drilling mud can be filtered out in time and flow into the guide pipe, and the water source transported in the guide pipe can directly transport it to the lower flow bin, thereby reducing the mud delivery pressure in the main delivery hole, improving the delivery efficiency, and achieving a pressure reduction effect. At the same time, the mixed fine sand can be transported to the mud at the bottom of the drilling well again, thereby reducing the equivalent circulating density.
[0049] The vibrating liquid guiding device 3 is fixed in the outer tube 11 and is located above the mud conveying pipe 1 .
[0050] In this embodiment, the vibrating liquid guiding device 3 comprises:
[0051] Upper fixing frame 31;
[0052] A central shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper fixing frame 31, and a radial rod 32 is fixed below the central shaft;

[0055] The side springs 35 are arranged in a plurality of groups, each of which is circumferentially distributed between the mud conveying pipe 1 and the water accumulation chamber 21. In particular, the pressure plate can abut against the ring frame and compress the side spring on the corresponding side. At this time, the guide pipe can be installed at an angle relative to the main delivery hole. By driving the central axis to rotate through the driving motor, each guide pipe can form internal agitation with the water accumulation chamber to avoid blockage caused by excessive delivery pressure in the main delivery hole.
[0056] In the present embodiment, the main delivery holes in the mud delivery pipe 1 are covered with elastic rubber covers 4, and the side walls of the main delivery holes are provided with inlet holes 41 and outlet holes. The inlet holes 41 are evenly injected with side water by a liquid pump, and the side walls of the main delivery holes are also provided with a plurality of embedded blocks 42. In particular, the elastic rubber cover can form a soft delivery channel in the main delivery hole. At this time, the inlet holes cooperate with the outlet holes to circulate water, thereby assisting mud transportation and avoiding mud adhesion and blockage.
[0057] As a preferred embodiment, a collecting plate 28 is rotatably disposed in the lower delivery seat 27 .
[0058] Specifically, the drilling mud is transported to the valve seat through the mud upward bypass hole, and is transported from the valve seat to the circulation chamber located below, so that the drilling mud can be transported from bottom to top through the main delivery hole. In the control of equivalent circulating density reduction, water is mainly transported countercurrently through each guide pipe. At this time, the fine sand in the drilling mud can be filtered out and guided to the lower flow chamber, thereby mixing into the downhole mud, fundamentally solving the problem of high equivalent circulating density and achieving high control efficiency.
