Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear material mining, and in particular to a flexible inner-guided hollow drill rod for a low-permeability sandstone uranium ore reservoir and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Uranium ore is an important resource to ensure national energy security and strategic security. Existing uranium ore is mainly stored in low-permeability sandstone, and the reservoir needs to be fractured before in-situ leaching development. Guided drilling of rock reservoirs is the basic condition for fracturing. At present, the fracturing and permeability enhancement of excavating a single vertical shaft has a limited impact range, and the cost of combined fracturing of multiple vertical shafts is high; at the same time, multiple lifting and charging operations during drill pipe drilling not only easily lead to hole collapse, but also greatly affect the timeliness of blasting fracturing. The use of horizontal well blasting fracturing in the oil and gas field is prone to penetrate the top or bottom of the reservoir and cause resource loss. In view of this, it is necessary to develop drilling methods in low-permeability sandstone uranium reservoirs to improve the uniformity of fracturing in low-permeability reservoirs.

[0003] At present, the drill rods in the field of rock drilling are mainly concentrated in the following aspects: 1) Rigid drill rods with extremely small turning angles are suitable for drilling vertical shafts or deep horizontal branch wells with small turning angles. Fixed-angle drilling requires the use of guides or deflectors; 2) Solid flexible drill rods with snap-on or node-connected connections that can achieve torque transmission, with a small turning radius and a solid mechanism, and the guiding method relies on the guide pre-placed in the wellbore. However, the above-mentioned drill rod technologies are generally encountered during implementation: ① Guidance failure caused by the falling or loose fixation of the deflector; ② The guiding angle does not meet the requirements due to insufficient reaction force of the external guiding mechanism when the turning angle is large; ③ Solid drill rods cannot carry out operations such as wellbore washing and explosive loading during drilling, which increases the necessary drilling action before loading explosives. In summary, it is necessary to provide a flexible internally guided hollow drill rod and a construction method for low-permeability sandstone uranium reservoirs to meet the guided excavation of wellbores in low-permeability sandstone uranium reservoirs in deep strata.
