[0044] Flexible drill pipe sidetracking is a common technique for sidetracking old wells in existing technologies. It offers excellent directional performance, a large borehole diameter, and low cost, making it ideal for precisely tapping the remaining oil potential in mature oilfields. However, because the curvature radius of the inclination section of flexible drill pipe sidetracking is typically 2m-4m, conventional measurement while drilling (MWD) tools are too large to pass through, making conventional MWD correction impossible. Consequently, the resulting wellbore trajectory is uncontrollable and subject to significant errors. The fundamental reason for this is that the flexible drill pipe exhibits excessive near-bit deflection, resulting in insufficient directional properties. Consequently, the wellbore trajectory drilled in the horizontal section experiences significant fluctuations in inclination and azimuth, resulting in poor stability.

[0045] To solve the above problems, see Figure 1-Figure 5 This embodiment provides a drill rod that can be switched between a rigid state and a flexible state as needed, thereby being able to adapt to different working conditions. When switched to the rigid state, it has good guidance performance.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drill rod includes a first housing 1 , a ball socket 2 , a ball head 3 , an adjustment ring 4 and a second housing 6 .

[0047] A first accommodating cavity with openings at both ends is provided in the first housing 1 ; one end of the ball socket 2 is sleeved in the first accommodating cavity, and the other end extends out of the first accommodating cavity.

[0048] One end of the ball head 3 is sleeved in the ball socket 2. There is an accommodating space 7 between the outer side surface of the ball head 3 and the inner side surface of the ball socket 2. The first accommodating cavity of the first shell 1, the inner cavity of the ball socket 2 and the inner cavity of the ball head 3 are connected in sequence to form a main channel 5. An adjustment hole 31 is opened on the side wall of the ball head 3, and the adjustment hole 31 connects the main channel 5 and the accommodating space 7.

[0049] The adjusting ring 4 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the ball head 3 and is located in the accommodating space 7. The outer surface of the adjusting ring 4 is arranged opposite to the inner surface of the ball socket 2. The drilling fluid in the main channel 5 can enter the accommodating space 7 through the adjusting hole 31 and push the first end of the adjusting ring 4 along the first direction. The second end of the adjusting ring 4 is provided with a wedged outer conical surface 41.

[0050] A second accommodating cavity with openings at both ends is provided in the second shell 6, and the other end of the ball head 3 extends into the second accommodating cavity. A rotating spherical surface is provided at the first end of the second shell 6, and the rotating spherical surface and the other end of the ball head 3 are rotatably abutted. An inner conical surface 61 is provided on the inner side of the first end of the second shell 6; the wedged outer conical surface 41 can be pushed to the wedged inner conical surface 61 to limit the relative rotation of the rotating spherical surface and the ball head 3, and make the second shell 6 and the ball head 3 coaxially straight.

[0051] The drill rod provided in this embodiment, when no drilling fluid circulates in the main channel 5, the second shell 6 can rotate and abut relative to the ball socket 2 connected to the first shell 1, thereby making the drill rod flexible and usable as a flexible drill rod. When drilling fluid enters the main channel 5 along the first direction, the drilling fluid in the main channel 5 enters the accommodating space 7 through the adjustment hole 31 and pushes the first end of the adjustment ring 4 along the first direction, thereby pushing the adjustment ring 4 toward the second shell 6 until the wedged outer conical surface 41 is pushed to the wedged inner conical surface 61, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the rotating spherical surface and the ball socket 2. At this time, the second shell 6 can no longer rotate relative to the ball socket 2, that is, the second shell 6 is in a straight state. At this time, the drill rod is rigid and can be used as a rigid drill rod, with good rigidity, which can improve the accuracy of the wellbore trajectory and the drilling target rate.

[0052] Specifically, the main flow channel 5 runs from the head end of the drill rod to the tail end of the drill rod.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second housing 6 has the same structure as the first housing 1 .

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the ball socket 2, ball head 3, adjustment ring 4 and second shell 6 constitute an adjustment segment, and another adjustment segment is set at one end of the adjustment segment close to the adjustment ring 4. Multiple adjustment segments are set in sequence to achieve the length adjustment of the drill rod.

[0055] Preferably, a first filter valve 311 is provided in the regulating hole 31; specifically, the first filter valve 311 is threadedly assembled in the regulating hole 31. By providing the first filter valve 311 in the regulating hole 31, large particles of the circulating mud can be filtered, preventing large particles of mud from entering the accommodating space 7 and blocking the regulating ring 4.

[0056] A plurality of adjustment holes 31 are spaced apart on the side wall of the ball head 3 .

[0057] Furthermore, an auxiliary adjustment hole 21 is provided on the side wall of the socket 2, communicating with the accommodating space 7. Preferably, at least two auxiliary adjustment holes 21 are provided along the circumference of the side wall of the socket 2, each of which is provided with a second filter valve 211. Specifically, the second filter valve 211 is threadedly assembled into the auxiliary adjustment hole 21. The second filter valve 211 prevents large particles in the slurry from entering the accommodating space 7.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment ring 4 is an integrally formed structure and includes an adjustment ring body 43 , an end limiting flange 42 and a tail cone 44 .

[0059] The adjusting ring body 43 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the ball head 3 .

[0060] The end limit flange 42 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the ball head 3 and coaxially arranged on one end of the adjustment ring body 43. The drilling fluid in the main channel 5 can enter the accommodating space 7 through the adjustment hole 31 and push the end limit flange 42 along the first direction. The outer side of the end limit flange 42 slides and abuts against the inner side surface of the ball socket 2, and the inner side surface of the end limit flange 42 slides and abuts against the outer side surface of the ball head 3.

[0061] The tail cone portion 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the ball head 3 and coaxially arranged on the other end of the adjustment ring body 43 . The wedged outer cone surface 41 is arranged on the outer side surface of the tail cone portion 44 .

[0062] Specifically, the gap between the adjustment ring body 43 and the inner surface of the ball socket 2 is 6 mm.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drill rod also includes a retaining ring 8, which is sleeved in the other end of the ball socket 2. The outer side of the first end of the second shell 6 is provided with an outer spherical surface, and the inner side of the retaining ring 8 is provided with an inner spherical surface that can rotatably abut against the outer spherical surface.

[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, the inner spherical surface of the retaining ring 8 is provided with three grooves for storing lubricating oil and particles that accidentally enter, which helps to facilitate sliding lubrication of the spherical surface.

[0065] Furthermore, in order to help the adjustment ring 4 reset, in this embodiment, the drill rod also includes an elastic reset member 71 (not shown in the figure), which is located in the accommodating space 7 and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the adjustment ring body 43. One end of the elastic reset member 71 abuts against the end limit flange 42, and the other end of the elastic reset member 71 abuts against the end face of the retaining ring 8.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, the elastic return member 71 is a wave spring.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first sealing ring accommodating groove 421 is provided on the outer side of the end limiting flange 42 , a first sealing ring is provided in the first sealing ring accommodating groove 421 , and the outer side of the first sealing ring is in sliding contact with the inner side surface of the ball socket 2 .

[0068] Furthermore, a second sealing ring accommodating groove 422 is provided on the inner side of the end limiting flange 42 , and a second sealing ring is provided in the second sealing ring accommodating groove 422 . The inner side of the second sealing ring is in sliding contact with the outer side surface of the ball head 3 .

[0069] A first sealing ring is provided to form a sealing surface between the adjustment ring 4 and the ball socket 2; a second sealing ring is provided to form a sealing surface between the adjustment ring 4 and the ball head 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are both O-rings.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a tangent cone surface 45 is further provided at the end of the tail cone portion 44 . The tangent cone surface 45 is provided on a side of the wedged outer cone surface 41 away from the adjustment ring body 43 .

[0071] The cone angle of the tangential conical surface 45 is greater than the cone angle of the wedged outer conical surface 41. When the second housing 6 is bent relative to the ball head 3, the tangential conical surface 45 is tangent to the inner surface of the second housing 6. Specifically, when the drill rod is in an extreme bending or buckling state, the tangential conical surface 45 is tangent to the inner surface of the second housing 6.

[0072] Specifically, the inner conical surface 61 of the second outer shell 6 includes a first inner conical surface 611 and a second inner conical surface 612. The first inner conical surface 611 is arranged close to the end, wedged into the outer conical surface 41 and matched with the second inner conical surface 612, and the tangent conical surface 45 is matched with the first inner conical surface 611. The conical hole of the first inner conical surface 611 is larger than the conical hole of the second inner conical surface 612.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drill pipe further includes a drill pipe male connector 91, which is connected to the first housing 1. The inner diameter of the drill pipe male connector 91 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first housing 1 and also smaller than the inner diameter of the adjustment section. The drill pipe male connector 91 is located at the head end of the drill pipe, and a drill pipe female connector 92 is also provided at the end of the drill pipe.

[0074] by Figure 3 Taking the illustrated position as an example, during the drilling process, the drilling fluid circulates, and due to the reduced diameter of the drill pipe inner bore, a throttling pressure differential is generated. This throttling pressure differential acts on the end surface of the end limit flange 42 of the adjusting ring 4 within the accommodating space 7 through the adjusting hole 31 and the first filter valve 311, pushing the adjusting ring 4 to the right. Under the action of the hydraulic pressure, the tangential conical surface 45 of the tail cone 44 of the adjusting ring 4 and the wedging outer conical surface 41 sequentially wedge into the inner conical surface 61 of the second outer shell 6 until the adjusting ring 4 is squeezed to the extreme right position. The wedging outer conical surface 41 fully mates with the second inner conical surface 612 of the inner conical surface 61, locking the second outer shell and the ball head 3 so that they are coaxially straight and cannot rotate relative to each other, straightening the drill pipe and making it rigid. At this point, the drill pipe can be used as a rigid drill pipe.

[0075] Specifically, when drilling fluid is circulating and the drill pipe is rigid, the wave spring is in a semi-compressed state. The wave spring's compressive force is much smaller than the force exerted by the throttle pressure differential on the adjusting ring 4, but is greater than the friction between the adjusting ring 4, the ball socket 2, and the ball head 3. When drilling fluid circulation ceases, the throttle pressure differential disappears, and the hydraulic pressure on the left side of the adjusting ring 4 dissipates, causing the wave spring to push the adjusting ring 4 back to the left position.

[0076] The drill pipe provided in this embodiment is directly connected to the drill bit at its head end during use, enabling drilling of the horizontal section of ultra-short-radius sidetracking horizontal wells. Without drilling fluid circulation, the drill pipe becomes flexible, enabling smooth passage through ultra-short-radius wellbores. With circulation, the pipe straightens to become rigid, effectively increasing drill pipe stiffness, improving wellbore trajectory accuracy, and boosting the on-target drilling rate.

[0077] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and features of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
