TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, and relates to a power-tuned downhole composite damper and a working method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of oil and gas drilling, downhole vibration is inevitably caused due to rock breaking of a drill bit, and severe downhole vibration is easy to cause failure or even fracture of downhole equipment such as a drill pipe, a drill collar, LWD, MWD, PTWD, a steering drilling tool and a drill bit, and directly affects drilling efficiency and resource exploration efficiency. According to statistics, non-operation time (NPT) caused by drill string vibration and impact accounts for 25% of total NPT every year. In particular, in the process of drilling in gravel strata and hard strata, and deep wells and ultra-deep wells, downhole vibration is more obvious, leading to frequent accidents of drill pipe fracture and falling into a well and sharp increase of drill bit consumption. Therefore, a technology for inhibiting downhole harmful vibration and a matching device become necessary in the above drilling process. The key to inhibiting downhole vibration lies in effective control of the strength of a vibration source, i.e., drill bit vibration, especially strong downhole vibration in the process of drilling in hard and brittle strata, gravel strata and other serious strata, so as to ensure continuous and stable high-efficiency rock breaking of the drill bit, and balance rock breaking efficiency and drill bit life, thereby reducing downhole risks and improving drilling speed.
[0003] At present, a conventional damper is mostly a spring damping damper, and the inhibiting effect on axial vibration is relatively obvious. However, downhole vibration exists in multiple forms, including axial vibration and torsional vibration and other complex vibrations, and multiple vibrations may be coupled and developed, which will pose a great threat to downhole drilling tools. In addition, in the process of drilling by a PDC drill bit, torsional vibration becomes the main vibration form, and obviously the inhibiting effect of the conventional spring damping damper on complex vibration working conditions is limited.

The sliding piston 21 is connected with the torsion power piston 17 through the thread, the inside of the sliding piston 21 is matched with the piston nozzle 22, and the piston nozzle 22 is fixed on the sliding piston 21 through the nozzle clamp spring 23.
[0064] The high pressure chamber is formed by the high pressure damping hole 20 of the torsion power piston 17 and the sliding piston 21, the low pressure damping hole 19 of the torsion shaft shell 9 exists and forms the low pressure chamber 25 with the torsion power piston 17, therefore the torsion power piston 17 and the sliding piston 21 descend under the action of the pressure difference of the high and low pressure chambers. The inner surface of the torsion power piston 17 is processed with the spline matched with the mandrel, the drill string rotation drives the mandrel 1 to rotate, and the mandrel 1 drives the torsion power piston 17 to rotate synchronously. The torsion weight 14 and the torsion shaft 12 are fixed together to form the torsion body through the thread connection, the torsion shaft 12 is matched with the mandrel 1 through the bearing set 11, and the torsion shaft 12 and the mandrel 1 can realize relatively independent rotation while limiting the axial movement. The upper end of the torsion power piston 17 is connected with the torsion weight 14 through the flexible steel wire rope 16, and the flexible steel wire rope 16 transmits the rotation of the torsion power piston 17 to the torsion weight 14 in the tension state. The spline shell 2, the disc spring shell 5 and the damping piston 8 form the sealed chamber, and the hydraulic oil is added, and the annular damping flow channel 7 exists between the step surface of the damping piston and the disc spring shell.
[0065] When the drill string rotates at a normal uniform speed, the mandrel 1 drives the torsion power piston 17 and the sliding piston 21 to rotate synchronously, and the torsion power piston 17 drives the torsion weight 14 and the torsion shaft 12 to rotate through the flexible steel wire rope 16 in tension. When the drill string encounters torsional vibration, the torsion power piston 17 appears torsional vibration under the action of the spline of the mandrel 1, at this time, the torsion shaft 12 and the torsion weight 14 still maintain the initial rotation speed due to the torsional inertia, so that the rotation speed difference between the torsion weight 14 and the torsion power piston 17 appears, the lower flexible steel wire rope starts to twist and wind, the axial vertical length of the flexible steel wire rope is shortened, at this time, the flexible steel wire rope pulls the torsion power piston 17 upwards, and the torsion power piston 17 repeatedly resists the pulling due to the damping and the pressure difference, thereby continuously consuming the torsional vibration energy, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting the torsional vibration of the drill string.
[0066] When the drill string encounters axial vibration, the torsion shaft shell 9 drives the disc spring shell 5 and the spline shell 2 to jump upwards, at this time, due to the inertia effect, the mandrel can be considered to be in an axial stationary state, so that the first lower step 29 at the lower end of the disc spring shell pushes the lower disc spring washer to go up, the mandrel limits the upper disc spring washer through the second upper step 28, and the disc spring set 4 is compressed under the limitation of the upper and lower disc spring washers 6, meanwhile, the annular damping flow channel 7 of the disc spring shell 5 and the damping piston 8 form a low-pressure damping cavity, hydraulic damping cooperates with the disc spring set to form a spring damping system, and the upward vibration of the disc spring shell is inhibited. When the disc spring shell 5 vibrates downward, the disc spring shell 5 drives the spline shell 2 to go down, the spline shell pushes the disc spring assembly 3 and the disc spring set 4 downward, since the mandrel 1 and the damping piston 8 are connected together through threads, and the damping piston 8 limits the lower disc spring washer 6 and the disc spring set 4 at the upper end, at this time, the disc spring set 4 is also compressed, meanwhile, the annular damping flow channel 7 of the disc spring shell 5 and the damping piston 8 form a high-pressure damping cavity and a low-pressure damping cavity, hydraulic damping is formed, hydraulic damping cooperates with the disc spring set to form a spring damping system, and the downward vibration of the disc spring shell is inhibited.
[0067] The present application can simultaneously achieve the purpose of reducing axial vibration and torsional vibration of the drill string. By using a flexible steel wire rope to connect the torsional body and the torsional power piston, the purpose of axial damping to inhibit torsional vibration is achieved. Compared with the prior art, the tool has simple principle, compact and reliable structure, small influence on drilling parameters and drilling tool structure when used, and can adjust and install nozzles of different diameters to control the tension of the flexible steel wire rope and damping according to different operating environments, so that the adaptability is strong and the tool is easy to popularize and apply on site.
[0068] Based on the above structure, the present application further discloses a working method of the power tuning type downhole composite damper, which comprises the following steps:
[0069] When the mandrel 1 encounters torsional vibration, the torsional power piston 17 simultaneously appears torsional vibration under the action of the spline of the mandrel 1, at this time, the torsional weight 14 still maintains the initial rotating speed due to the torsional inertia effect, a rotating speed difference appears between the torsional weight 14 and the torsional power piston 17, then the flexible steel wire rope 16 starts to twist and wind, the axial vertical length of the flexible steel wire rope 16 is shortened and the torsional power piston 17 is pulled upwards, and the torsional power piston 17 continuously consumes torsional vibration energy under the action of the damping shock-absorbing structure 24, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting the torsional vibration of the drill string.
[0070] When the mandrel 1 vibrates downward or the torsional shaft shell 9 drives the disc spring shell 5 to jump upwards relative to the mandrel 1, the first lower step 29 pushes the disc spring assembly 3 to go up, the second upper step 28 limits the upward movement of the disc spring assembly 3, the disc spring assembly 3 is compressed, a spring damping system is formed, and the upward vibration of the disc spring shell 5 or the downward vibration of the mandrel 1 is inhibited.
[0071] When the core shaft 1 vibrates upward or the disc spring shell 5 jumps downward relative to the core shaft 1, the first upper step 27 pushes the disc spring assembly 3 downward, the second lower step 30 limits the downward movement of the disc spring assembly 3, the disc spring assembly 3 is compressed, a spring damping system is formed, and the downward vibration of the disc spring shell 5 or the upward vibration of the core shaft 1 is inhibited.
[0072] Referring to Figure 1 In another possible embodiment of the present application, the following is adaptively modified according to the situation. When the core shaft 1 encounters torsional vibration, the torsional power piston 17 simultaneously appears torsional vibration under the action of the spline of the core shaft 1, at this time, the torsional weight 14 still maintains the initial rotational speed due to the torsional inertia effect, a rotational speed difference will appear between the torsional weight 14 and the torsional power piston 17, the flexible steel wire rope 16 starts to twist and wind, the axial vertical length of the flexible steel wire rope 16 will be shortened and pull the torsional power piston 17 upward, and the torsional power piston 17 continuously consumes torsional vibration energy under the action of the damping shock-absorbing structure 24, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting the torsional vibration of the drill string. When the core shaft 1 vibrates downward or the disc spring shell 5 jumps upward relative to the core shaft 1, the first lower step 29 pushes the disc spring assembly 3 upward, the second upper step 28 limits the upward movement of the disc spring assembly 3, the disc spring assembly 3 is compressed, a spring damping system is formed, and the upward vibration of the disc spring shell 5 or the downward vibration of the core shaft 1 is inhibited. When the core shaft 1 vibrates upward or the disc spring shell 5 jumps downward relative to the core shaft 1, the first upper step 27 pushes the disc spring assembly 3 downward, the second lower step 30 limits the downward movement of the disc spring assembly 3, the disc spring assembly 3 is compressed, a spring damping system is formed, and the downward vibration of the disc spring shell 5 or the upward vibration of the core shaft 1 is inhibited. The method of the present application can simultaneously reduce the axial jump and torsional vibration of the drill bit caused by the rock breaking process, thereby inhibiting the drill string vibration from the main source, protecting the downhole drilling tool, and prolonging the service life of the drilling tool.
[0073] The above is only to illustrate the technical idea of the present application, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification made according to the technical idea of the present application on the basis of the technical scheme falls within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
