Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear material mining, 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] Existing uranium deposits are primarily stored in low-permeability sandstone, requiring reservoir fracturing followed by in-situ leaching. Guided drilling of rock reservoirs is essential for fracturing. Currently, the fracturing and permeability enhancement effect of excavating a single vertical shaft is limited, and the cost of combined fracturing of multiple vertical shafts is high. Furthermore, multiple operations such as lifting and charging during drill pipe drilling not only easily lead to hole collapse but also significantly impact the timeliness of blasting fracturing. Horizontal well blasting fracturing in the oil and gas sector can easily penetrate the top or bottom of the reservoir, leading to resource loss. Therefore, it is necessary to develop drilling methods within low-permeability sandstone uranium reservoirs to improve the uniformity of fracturing in low-permeability reservoirs.

[0003] Currently, drill pipes used in rock drilling primarily focus on the following: 1) Rigid drill pipe with extremely small turning angles, suitable for drilling vertical shafts or deep horizontal laterals with small turning angles, requiring the use of a guide or deflector for fixed-angle drilling; 2) Solid flexible drill pipe with snap-on or node-connected connections that enable torque transmission, featuring a small turning radius and a solid structure, relying on a pre-placed guide within the wellbore. However, common implementation issues with these drill pipe technologies include: ① Guide failure due to the falling or insecure fixation of the deflector; ② Insufficient reaction force from the external guide mechanism at large turning angles, resulting in insufficient guide angles; and ③ Solid drill pipe makes it impossible to perform operations such as hole washing and explosive loading during drilling, increasing the need for drill lifting before loading explosives. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flexible, internally guided hollow drill pipe and its construction method to facilitate guided excavation of low-permeability sandstone uranium reservoirs in deep formations.

When the upper motor 436 rotates, it drives the connecting sleeve 433 and the lower fixed head 435 relative to the upper fixed head. The head 431 rotates, and when the lower motor 437 rotates, it drives the connecting sleeve 433 and the upper fixed head 431 to rotate relative to the lower fixed head 435; the surfaces of the upper motor support 432, the lower motor support 434 and the connecting sleeve 433 in contact are all inclined surfaces, and the contact surface between the lower motor support 434 and the lower fixed head 435 is an inclined surface, so an angle difference can be generated when the lower fixed head 435 and the upper fixed head 431 rotate relative to each other; the lower fixed head 435 is fixedly connected to the lower bearing module 42.

In this way, the ball head 1-1 and the ball head 1-2 can respectively swing under the action of the inner guide mechanism 4 to achieve flexible steering. By analogy, the installation of the remaining ball heads 1, ball sockets 2 and inner guide mechanisms 4 is completed in sequence, so that each ball head 1 of the drill rod of the present invention can swing.

The outer bevel guide 3 adopts an asymmetric design, and applies forces in different directions by filling different air cavities with air to adapt to different steering directions. Each air cavity can be inflated separately or in combination. In addition, the outer bevel guide 3 adopts an air cavity structure and can also contact the rock wall to achieve the effect of fixing the hollow drill pipe.

[0061] It should be noted that each air cavity of the outer whipstock 3 is connected to the air cylinder on the ground through an air pipe.

[0062] like Figure 12As shown, the flexible inner guide hollow drill pipe for low permeability sandstone uranium reservoir further includes a drill pipe transition piece 7, the lower end of the drill pipe transition piece 7 is fixedly matched with the upper end of the ball socket 2 (the two can be fixed by pins, etc.).
