Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a gas extraction drilling blowout preventer for upward drilling in a downhole drilling field and an operating method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Article 32 of the "Coal and Gas Outburst Prevention Regulations" provides that "areas where the coal seam gas pressure reaches or exceeds 2 MPa, and areas where dynamic phenomena such as jetting and drilling occur during drilling, shall take measures to prevent gas overrun and jetting and drilling injuries, or use remote-controlled drilling machines for construction".

[0003] The existing blowout prevention technology mainly relies on installing a blowout preventer during drilling to prevent drilling jetting and gas overrun. The blowout preventer is mainly composed of a borehole catcher and a coal-water separator. The borehole catcher with a casing is installed after the borehole is opened to a certain depth during cross-layer drilling. A drill tool with a fixed diameter is used during drilling. The borehole catcher is connected to the coal gas separator through a soft tube. The drill cuttings and gas discharged into the separator are separated. The gas is extracted through the extraction pipeline, and the drill cuttings flow out through the discharge port.

[0004] As upward drilling for gas extraction in a downhole, the objective shortcomings of the existing technology are:

[0005] (1) When the drill bit drills into a soft coal seam, the borehole is prone to collapse, causing poor return slag passage. When the drill tool reciprocates, the accumulated gas is suddenly jetted out.

[0006] (2) The borehole catcher of the blowout preventer is not tightly sealed with the drill rod. The conventional blowout preventer drill rod seal often uses materials such as leather pads, which are prone to deformation under the friction of the drill rod, causing the gap to continuously expand and causing gas leakage.

[0007] (3) The volume of the separator is limited. When the amount of gas jetted out is large, it is easy to overflow from the separator or even knock out the borehole catcher, causing abnormal gas around.

[0008] (4) When the amount of gas emitted during drilling is large, it is easy to leak from the tail end of the drill rod.

[0009] (5) Coal dust generated during drilling can pollute the extraction system and even overflow from the borehole catcher and other places, causing environmental pollution. SUMMARY

[0010] The purpose of the present application is to provide a gas extraction drilling blowout preventer for upward drilling in a downhole drilling field and an operating method.
