Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drilling technology, and in particular to a central water-eye type drilling measurement and control system with active cooling function. Background Technology
[0002] The formation of oil and gas wellbores occurs through the rotation of the drill string or the cutting of underground rock formations by the drill bit driven by downhole power drilling tools. To ensure safe and efficient drilling operations, it is necessary to continuously monitor engineering parameters such as drill pressure, torque, annular water pressure, and temperature near the drill bit, as well as geological parameters such as resistivity, porosity, and gamma ray while drilling. To obtain these engineering and geological parameters while drilling, various parameter measurement circuits or sensors need to be installed at the bottom of the drill string and near the drill bit.
[0003] With increasing energy demand, the exploration and development of deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources has become a crucial area for increasing reserves and production. However, during drilling into deep and ultra-deep formations, the high formation temperatures exceed the temperature limits of various components or sensors in the drilling monitoring and control system (TMS), causing them to malfunction or even fail. Generally, high-temperature-induced failures of various components or sensors in the TMS can occur in two modes: 1) When components or sensors are operating, the thermal stress generated by their own temperature rise reduces their service life; 2) When the ambient temperature in deep and ultra-deep formations reaches a critical value, various components or sensors in the TMS will be damaged. Failures caused by overheating not only increase the cost of replacing failed components or sensors but also highlight the lack of high-temperature resistant electronic components, making it impossible to meet the exploration and development needs of deeper oil and gas resources.
[0004] Currently, high-temperature resistant technology for downhole tools in oil and gas wells has been identified as a key core technology for achieving efficient exploration and profitable development of deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources. Therefore, overcoming the relevant core module technologies of high-temperature resistant drilling monitoring and control systems is both important and urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a central water-eye type drilling measurement and control system with active cooling function, which addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A center-type water-eye measurement and control system with active cooling function, comprising: a measurement and control system sub, a heat preservation device, at least one active cooling device, a heat transfer device, at least one measurement and control circuit and sensor, and at least one first drive turbine with magnetic poles. The measurement and control system sub is a tube structure. The measurement and control circuit and sensor are installed in the measurement and control system sub. The active cooling device is rotatably installed in the measurement and control system sub. The first drive turbine is rotatably sleeved at the bottom of the active cooling device. The top of the active cooling device is adjacent to the measurement and control circuit and sensor. The heat transfer device is sleeved at the bottom of the active cooling device. The heat preservation device is sleeved at the top of the active cooling device. Multiple permanent magnets are provided on the peripheral sidewall of the first drive turbine. A circumferential magnet is provided on the peripheral sidewall of the bottom of the active cooling device.
[0007] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this invention are as follows: The active cooling device uses a turbine rotation motion drive method instead of an electric drive method to achieve its own high-temperature resistance. When the drilling fluid flows, it washes and drives the turbine, causing it to rotate. This rotation, through magnetic force, drives the internal magnets of the active cooling device to rotate, thereby driving the active cooling device to work and generating the cooling capacity required for cooling. By relying on the cooling capacity generated by its built-in active cooling device, the heat transferred from the high-temperature environment to the drilling monitoring and control system (TMS) and the self-generated heat generated during the operation of the TMS are balanced, thus reducing the operating temperature of the TMS to below the ambient temperature it can withstand, and improving the temperature range of the TMS.

[0012] Furthermore, the drilling measurement and control system subsection includes a second drive turbine, a rotating shaft, and an electrical pure iron. The second drive turbine is sleeved on the rotating shaft and located above the electrical pure iron. The electrical pure iron is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and installed on the inner wall of the drilling measurement and control system subsection. The electrical pure iron is located above the drilling measurement and control circuit and sensors.
[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are as follows: On the one hand, it provides power to various components or sensors of the drilling measurement and control system, realizing the functions of downhole information acquisition, storage, and conversion; on the other hand, it provides power to the actuator of the pulse generator to generate pulse signals carrying information. The drive turbine rotates the rotating shaft together, thereby generating an induced current through interaction with the electrical pure iron. The current provides energy to the drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 1 (or / and the drilling measurement and control circuit or sensor 1), enabling it to acquire, store, and convert various types of downhole data; at the same time, the current provides energy to the actuator motor of the pulse generator, driving the pulse generator valve core and pulse generator valve seat to open and close, sending pulse signals to the surface for data transmission.
[0014] Furthermore, a guide impeller is fitted onto the rotating shaft, and the guide impeller is located above the second drive turbine.
[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that during the drilling process, when the drilling fluid flows through the water hole in the center of the drill string, it changes direction through the guide impeller and then flushes and drives the turbine.
[0016] Furthermore, one end of the drilling measurement and control system subsection is connected to a pulser support subsection, which is a tube structure and contains a pulser.

[0029] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a center-type water-eye measurement and control system with active cooling function, including: a measurement and control system section 5, a heat preservation device 18, at least one active cooling device 30, a heat transfer device 21, at least one measurement and control circuit and sensor 31, and at least one first drive turbine 24 with magnetic poles. The measurement and control system section 5 is a tube structure. The measurement and control circuit and sensor 31 are installed in the measurement and control system section 5. The active cooling device 30 is rotatably installed in the measurement and control system section 5. The first drive turbine 24 is rotatably sleeved on the bottom of the active cooling device 30.

A circumferential magnet is provided on the peripheral sidewall of the bottom of the active cooling device 30.
[0031] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this invention are as follows: The active cooling device uses a turbine rotation motion drive method instead of an electric drive method to achieve its own high-temperature resistance. When the drilling fluid flows, it washes and drives the turbine, causing it to rotate. This rotation, through magnetic force, drives the internal magnets of the active cooling device to rotate, thereby driving the active cooling device to work and generating the cooling capacity required for cooling. By relying on the cooling capacity generated by its built-in active cooling device, the heat transferred from the high-temperature environment to the drilling monitoring and control system (TMS) and the self-generated heat generated during the operation of the TMS are balanced, thus reducing the operating temperature of the TMS to below the ambient temperature it can withstand, and improving the temperature range of the TMS.

[0034] To address the issue of high-temperature intolerance in various components and sensors of existing drilling measurement and control systems, this invention provides a central water-eye type drilling measurement and control system with active cooling functionality. This system utilizes its built-in active cooling device to generate cooling energy, balancing the heat transferred to the drilling measurement and control system from the high-temperature environment with the self-generated heat generated during system operation. This reduces the operating temperature of the drilling measurement and control system to below the ambient temperature it can withstand, thereby improving the system's temperature operating range.

[0038] Downhole generators serve two purposes: firstly, to provide power to the various components and sensors of the drilling and monitoring system, enabling the acquisition, storage, and conversion of downhole information; and secondly, to provide power to the pulse actuator to generate pulse signals carrying information.

[0049] Preferably, permanent magnets of different polarities are alternately arranged on the circumferential interior of the active cooling device's driving turbine (first driving turbine 24), and corresponding circumferential magnets are arranged inside the active cooling device. When the drilling fluid flows, it washes over the driving turbine, causing it to rotate. This rotation drives the magnets inside the active cooling device to rotate via magnetic force, thereby activating the active cooling device and generating the cooling capacity required for cooling.
[0050] During drilling in high-temperature and ultra-high-temperature formations, an active cooling device generates cooling to balance the heat transferred from the high-temperature environment to the drilling measurement and control system and the self-generated heat generated during the operation of the drilling measurement and control system.

[0065] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are as follows: permanent magnets of different polarities are alternately arranged inside the circumference of the active cooling device's driving turbine, and corresponding circumferential magnets are arranged inside the active cooling device. When the drilling fluid flows, it washes over the driving turbine, causing it to rotate.

[0074] The active cooling device uses a turbine rotation motion drive instead of an electric drive to achieve its own high-temperature resistance.
[0075] The active cooling device has permanent magnets of different polarities alternately arranged on the circumferential interior of the driving turbine (first driving turbine 24), and corresponding circumferential magnets are arranged inside the active cooling device. When the drilling fluid flows, it washes over the driving turbine (first driving turbine 24), causing it to rotate. This rotation drives the magnets inside the active cooling device to rotate through magnetic force, thereby driving the active cooling device to work and generate the cooling capacity required for cooling.
[0076] The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail below:
[0077] During drilling, as the drilling fluid 6 flows through the central waterhole of the drill string, it changes direction via the guide impeller 13 and washes over the drive turbine (second drive turbine 14). The drive turbine (second drive turbine 14) drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn interacts with the electrical pure iron 16 to generate an induced current. This current provides energy to the drilling monitoring and control circuit and sensor 19 (and / or the drilling monitoring and control circuit and sensor 22), enabling them to collect, store, and convert various downhole data. Simultaneously, the current provides energy to the pulse generator actuator motor 10, causing the pulse generator valve core 8 and pulse generator valve seat 7 to open and close, sending pulse signals to the surface for data transmission. The above process realizes the acquisition and transmission of downhole data. On the other hand, the drilling fluid 6 drives the magnetically driven turbine (first drive turbine 24) to rotate. Under the action of magnetic force, the active cooling device 20 (and / or active cooling device 23) begins to work and generate cooling. The cooling energy is transferred to the drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 19 (and / or drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 22) through the cold end 27 of the active cooling device, thereby reducing the temperature of the circuit or sensor. At the same time, the heat insulation device 18 thermally isolates the drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 19 (and / or drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 22) from the pressure shell 17, ensuring that the temperature of the drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 19 (and / or drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 22) is lower than the ambient temperature. The heat generated by the hot end 25 of the active cooling device is transferred to the pressure shell 17 through the heat transfer device 21, and then carried away by the circulating drilling fluid 6. Thus, under the combined action of drilling fluid 6, insulation device 18, heat transfer device 21, drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 19 or drilling measurement and control circuit and sensor 22, active cooling device 10 or active cooling device 23, the active cooling device 10 or active cooling device 23 generates cooling capacity to balance the heat transferred to the drilling measurement and control system from the high-temperature environment and the self-generated heat generated during the operation of the drilling measurement and control system. This reduces the operating temperature of the drilling measurement and control system to below the ambient temperature it can withstand, improves the temperature applicable range of the drilling measurement and control system, and forms a high-temperature resistant drilling measurement and control system and method, improving the level of safe and efficient drilling technology in deep and ultra-deep wells, and realizing efficient exploration and profitable development of oil and gas resources.
