Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rotary steerable drilling technology, and in particular relates to a composite rotary steerable drilling offset device with an auxiliary ejection function. Background Technology
[0002] Rotary Steerable System (RSS) is developed from the traditional sliding steerable drilling system. It mainly uses a bottom steerable actuator to change the azimuth and inclination of the drill string while rotating, thereby achieving automatic guidance.
[0003] Rotary steerable drilling systems employ measurement-while-drilling (MSW) technology. A microprocessor installed downhole can collect real-time data on the bottom hole conditions and transmit it to the surface via drilling fluid, forming a two-way closed-loop control with the surface and the bottom hole, thereby achieving automatic guidance.
[0004] Because rotary steerable drilling tools drill by rotating, compared with traditional sliding steerable drilling tools, they overcome the disadvantage of high frictional resistance during drilling, reduce the number of drilling trips, and produce a smoother wellbore, which can effectively improve the efficiency and economic benefits of oil and gas well development.
[0005] Currently, conventional rotary steerable drilling tools can be classified into static offset push rotary steerable drilling tools, dynamic offset push rotary steerable drilling tools, static offset pointing rotary steerable drilling tools, and dynamic offset pointing rotary steerable drilling tools.
[0006] Conventional static offset push-type rotary steerable drilling tools rely on telescopic ribs near the drill bit to push against the well wall, thereby causing the drill bit to deflect and change the drilling direction. They are characterized by precise wellbore trajectory and low frictional resistance. However, they also have disadvantages such as very complex structure, low hydraulic control precision, poor extension capability, and the potential to result in spiral wellbores.
[0007] Conventional dynamic offset push-type rotary steerable drilling tools rely on an offset actuator to generate an offset force, which directly or indirectly bends the mandrel, thereby causing the drill bit to offset and change the drilling direction. They feature precise wellbore trajectory, low frictional resistance, smooth wellbore, and good cleaning effect. However, they also have disadvantages such as impact and vibration caused by the guide push plate, severe tool wear, sealing difficulties, the possibility of spiral wellbore formation, tool lateral force dependence on drill bit pressure drop, and significant dependence on the wellbore.
[0008] Conventional static offset directional rotary steerable drilling tools do not rotate with the drill string during drilling. When guidance is needed, the offset actuator provides guiding force in a fixed direction. They feature low frictional resistance, high efficiency, facilitate the elimination of wellbore helical deformation, low vibration, and good wellbore cleaning. However, their control spindle is subjected to high-load alternating stress, making it prone to fatigue fracture and significantly impacting tool life.
[0009] Conventional dynamic offset directional rotary steerable drilling tools have a steerable actuator that rotates with the drill string during drilling. When guidance is needed, the control system directs the offset actuator to provide directional force at a specific position. These tools feature low frictional resistance, high efficiency, the ability to eliminate borehole helicalization, independence from drill bit pressure drop, high stability, and high reliability. However, the ball bearings in these tools experience significant wear, which substantially impacts their lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0055] The following describes a single use of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0056] When directional drilling is required, the servo motor 20 inside the valve block actuator 18 is first activated. The servo motor 20 drives the ball screw 22 to rotate in the forward direction, causing the nut slider 23 and the valve block 16 to move upward synchronously. The valve block 16 releases the blockage of the drilling fluid inlet hole 14. The high-pressure downward drilling fluid flowing in the main drilling fluid channel 8 will enter the secondary drilling fluid channel 11 through the unsealed drilling fluid inlet hole 14. After passing through the external push mechanism 12 and the internal push mechanism 13 in sequence, it finally flows into the external space of the outer sleeve shell 6 from the drilling fluid outlet hole 15 and mixes with the upward drilling fluid.
[0057] When the high-pressure downhole drilling fluid passes through the push mechanism 12, it directly acts on the push piston 26 through the rodless chamber of the piston chamber 25, driving the piston rod of the push piston 26 to push outward, and finally driving the auxiliary push mechanism 7 to push outward as a whole. The push top cover 34 of the auxiliary push mechanism 7 directly contacts the well wall, realizing the "pushing outward well wall" directional drilling task.
[0058] Meanwhile, when the high-pressure down-draft drilling fluid passes through the internal thrust mechanism 13, it will directly push the active wedge 27 to slide down in the active wedge limiting groove 30, and the impact force during the sliding process will be reduced by the buffer spring 29. As the active wedge 27 moves, the axial movement of the active wedge 27 will be synchronously converted into the radial movement of the driven wedge 28. The driven wedge 28 directly abuts against the rear drill bit shaft 2 through the buffer pad 32, causing the front drill bit shaft 1 and the rear drill bit shaft 2 to deflect around the hollow universal joint 3 as a whole, thus realizing the directional drilling task of the "internal thrust spindle".
[0059] If the directional drilling rate still does not meet the requirements after the outward pushing mechanism 12 and the inward pushing mechanism 13, the auxiliary pushing mechanism 7 is further activated to control the opening of the first electromagnetic inlet valve 43. The upward drilling fluid in the outer space of the outer casing 6 flows into the support bottom cover 33 through the first upward drilling fluid inlet hole 45. Under the guidance of the diversion platform 56, the upward drilling fluid will first drive the drive gear 35 to rotate clockwise, and then directly return to the outer space of the outer casing 6 through the drilling fluid discharge hole 47 via the one-way valve 42. As the drive gear 35 rotates clockwise, it will synchronously drive the first intermediate... Gear 36 and the second intermediate gear 37 rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the first driven gear 38 and the second driven gear 39 to rotate clockwise synchronously. This ultimately drives the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 to rotate clockwise synchronously. The rotational motion of the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 is synchronously converted into the linear outward movement of the first guide cylinder 52 and the second guide cylinder 53, which ultimately drives the push-out top cover 34 to push out independently, further increasing the push-out distance of the "push-out well wall" and thus further increasing the build-up rate. When the build-up rate reaches the required level, the second electromagnetic inlet valve 44 is closed.
[0060] After the directional drilling task is completed, the valve block actuator 18 controls the valve block 16 to reset, and the valve block 16 re-seals the drilling fluid discharge hole 14, cutting off the inflow of high-pressure downward drilling fluid. The drilling fluid secondary flow channel 11 is only connected to the external space of the outer casing 6 through the drilling fluid discharge hole 15. The drilling fluid secondary flow channel 11 achieves pressure balance with the external space of the outer casing 6. At this time, the external push mechanism 12 and the internal push mechanism 13 also reset under pressure balance after losing the pressure difference effect.
[0061] Simultaneously, the second electromagnetic inlet valve 44 opens, and the upward drilling fluid in the outer space of the outer sleeve shell 6 flows into the support bottom cover 33 through the second upward drilling fluid inlet hole 46. Under the guidance of the diversion platform 56, the upward drilling fluid will first drive the drive gear 35 to rotate counterclockwise, and then directly return to the outer space of the outer sleeve shell 6 through the drilling fluid discharge hole 47 via the one-way valve 42. As the drive gear 35 rotates counterclockwise, it will synchronously drive the first intermediate gear 36 and the second intermediate gear 37 to rotate clockwise, and then drive the first driven gear 38 and the second driven gear 39 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. Finally, it will drive the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. The rotational motion of the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 will be synchronously converted into the linear downward motion of the first guide cylinder 52 and the second guide cylinder 53, and finally drive the outer push top cover 34 to fall back and reset. At this time, the second electromagnetic inlet valve 44 returns to the closed state.
[0062] In this embodiment, the distance by which the push-out top cover 34 is pushed outward independently is set to 5mm to 8mm, which is controlled by the number of rotations of the first stud 40 and the second stud 41. The number of rotations of the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 is indirectly measured by the speed sensor equipped on the shaft end of the drive gear 35. The external threads of the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 adopt 0.3750-24UNJF-3A external threads with an outer diameter of 9.525mm, a pitch of 1.06mm, and a thread accuracy grade of 3A, which can ensure that the external threads of the first stud 40 and the second stud 41 have a relatively thick thickness, thereby ensuring that the external threads have good strength when working.
[0063] The solutions described in the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this invention. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the scope of this invention are included in the patent scope of this case.
