[0015] The present application is further described below in combination with the embodiments and the drawings.
[0016] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a drill and mill through fishing workover tool mainly includes a tool body 1 in a round rod structure, the lower end of the tool body 1 is provided with a drill and mill head 2, by arranging the drill and mill head 2, the drill and mill through fishing workover tool has two functions of drilling and milling, in the embodiment, the tool body 1 and the drill and mill head 2 are integrally formed, the structural strength is high, and it is durable.
[0017] The outer circumferential surface of the tool body 1 is provided with sand fishing grooves 3 arranged side by side from bottom to top, the outer diameters of the sand fishing grooves 3 are the same, and the slots of the sand fishing grooves 3 are all directed to the upper end of the tool body 1, by arranging multiple sand fishing grooves 3 on the tool body 1, not only the sand carrying capacity of the tool is greatly improved, but also the fast sinking sand can be fished, the past sinking sand can also be brought back to the ground, so that the well bottom sand can be more thoroughly removed, the operation efficiency and the workover stimulation effect are greatly improved, the workover cycle is prolonged, the workover cost is reduced, and since the sand fishing grooves 3 are arranged in multiple from top to bottom, the sinking sand is equivalent to being arranged in multiple from barriers, the fishing rate is more than 70%, so that the sinking sand caused downhole complex accidents such as sticking and burying of the drilling tool can be effectively avoided, and the safety risk of downhole operation is greatly reduced.
[0018] Further, each of the sand troughs 3 comprises a sand trough wall 3a in a circular ring structure and a sand trough bottom 3b in a conical surface structure, the sand trough bottom 3b extending inwardly and obliquely from a lower edge of the corresponding sand trough wall 3a to the outer wall of the tool body 1. By designing the sand trough bottom 3b in a conical surface structure, the influence on the flow field of the drilling fluid can be effectively reduced, and the sand storage capacity of the sand trough 3 can be increased. Further, the oblique angle a of the sand trough bottom 3b is less than 45°, thereby further reducing the influence on the flow field of the drilling fluid and increasing the sand storage capacity of the sand trough 3.
[0019] In the embodiment, the drill milling head 2 is integrally formed with each of the sand troughs 3, and has high structural strength and is durable.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the drill milling head 2 protrudes from the tool body 1 in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of reverse circulation holes 4 are formed in the drill milling head 2 and distributed in the circumferential direction, each of the reverse circulation holes 4 penetrating the upper and lower end faces of the drill milling head 2. Moreover, by additionally providing the reverse circulation holes 4 on the drill milling head 2, the upward returning capacity of the sand can be increased, and the sand capture amount can be improved. In the embodiment, the reverse circulation holes 4 are arranged obliquely inward along the radial direction of the drill milling head 2 from top to bottom, thereby being able to cooperate with the sand trough bottom 3b in a conical surface structure to guide the drilling fluid carrying sand to return upward more smoothly.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 2-4 , the lower end face of the drill milling head 2 is uniformly distributed with downward protruding inserts 7. By providing the inserts 7, the drilling and milling capacity of the tool can be effectively improved. In the embodiment, the inserts 7 are preferably made of diamond, which has high hardness and can not only drill and mill relatively hard sand layers, but also easily explore the sand face wellbore, thereby being able to accurately check the sand face wellbore.
[0022] The inserts 7 are nine in total, and every three inserts 7 arranged in a ring shape form an insert group, and the three insert groups are arranged in the radial direction of the drill milling head 2 from inside to outside, thereby greatly improving the drilling and milling capacity of the tool. Among them, the included angle between the adjacent inserts 7 in each insert group is 120°. Further, the three inserts 7 of the outermost insert group protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the drill milling head 2, thereby being able to improve the drilling and milling capacity and avoid the problem of sticking.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The tool body 1 has a central water hole 5 extending vertically along its central axis. The lower end of the central water hole 5 extends downwardly through the lower end surface of the drilling and milling head 2. The tool body 1 is divided into an upper section and a middle and lower section from top to bottom. Sand chutes 3 are axially distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the middle and lower section. The upper portion of the central water hole 5 is enlarged to form a ball-dropping section 5a. The lower end of the ball-dropping section 5a forms a conical ball-dropping seat seal 5b. Several bypass water holes 6 are circumferentially formed around the ball-dropping section 5a. The inner end of each bypass water hole 6 is connected to the ball-dropping section 5a, and the outer end of each bypass water hole 6 extends through the outer wall of the upper section of the tool. When the sealing ball 8 is not dropped, the drilling fluid mainly flows from the central water hole 5 into the wellbore at the lower end (only a small amount overflows from the bypass water hole 6), enhancing bottomhole jetting, drilling through, and water horsepower to achieve better sand flushing footage. This is particularly suitable for situations with severe bottomhole sand settling. When sealing ball 8 is dropped to block ball-dropping seat seal 5b, drilling fluid in central borehole 5 emerges from bypass boreholes 6 and flows downward, scouring the surrounding wellbore walls and forming a mixed flow with the return drilling fluid from the overall drilling fluid system. This significantly alters the bottomhole flow distribution, increases the return velocity, and improves sand-carrying capacity. Furthermore, the absence of sand bailing troughs 3 around bypass boreholes 6 prevents obstruction to the flow of drilling fluid. Therefore, this drilling, milling, and bailing workover tool performs multiple functions: drilling, milling, bailing, and bailing.
[0024] In this embodiment, the diameter of the main portion of the central water hole 5 is preferably 12 mm to 18 mm, meeting the requirements of the bottom hole flow field engineering for positive drilling and milling. A bypass valve can also be provided at the outer end of the bypass water hole 6 to prevent drilling fluid from overflowing from the bypass water hole 6 when the ball is not being dropped.
