Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling engineering, and particularly relates to a drilling device and a drilling method for combined mechanical impact and water jet grooving stress unloading. Background Technique

[0002] In the process of oil and gas field development, drilling is a key link. As the well depth increases, the rock mass in the basement area is subjected to the combined action of strong in-situ stress and hydrostatic pressure, which makes the rock more plastic and harder. This strengthening effect of the bottom-hole rock caused by stress increases the drilling cycle and drilling cost. Coupled with the abrasiveness and natural heterogeneity of the rock matrix, the drilling rate is greatly reduced. Existing technologies usually increase the rock-breaking efficiency and improve the drilling rate through single mechanical impact or ultra-high-pressure jet, but the rock-breaking efficiency of each of these two methods is limited by physical conditions and it is difficult to achieve the best rock-breaking effect.

[0003] Therefore, how to reduce the compressive effect on the bottom-hole rock under the combined action of in-situ stress and hydrostatic column pressure, reduce the difficulty of rock fragmentation, and thus improve the mechanical drilling rate is the research direction of current drilling technology.

[0004] Based on this, the present application proposes a drilling device and a drilling method for combined mechanical impact and water jet grooving stress unloading, which can realize the circumferential grooving of the bottom-hole rock to unload the stress of the bottom-hole rock and the combined rock-breaking of mechanical impact and ultra-high-pressure water jet, thereby greatly improving the drilling rate.

[0028] Step 1, when the drill bit reaches the bottom of the well, the impregnated diamonds at the bottom end of the grooving outer cylinder contact the bottom of the well prior to the PDC teeth;

[0029] Apply the drilling pressure and torque. Under the combined action of the drilling fluid pressure in the casing, the bottom hole thrust on the drill bit, and the disc spring, the impact hammer realizes pulsed impact on the drill bit, and the pressurizing mechanism pressurizes the drilling fluid and then forms a high-pressure jet through spraying via the first pressurized flow channel, the high-pressure hose, and the high-pressure nozzle;

[0031] Step 2: The drill bit continues to drill, the depth of the circular groove continuously deepens, and the PDC teeth start to contact the bottom-hole rock inside the circular groove and break it;

[0032] Step 3: Under the combined action of the weight on bit, torque, pulse impact, and high-pressure jet, the impregnated diamond continues to cut the circular groove, and the PDC teeth continue to break the rock inside the circular groove, achieving combined rock breaking;

[0033] During this process:

[0034] The drilling fluid is ejected outward along the first normal flow channel, sleeve flow channel, casing inner cavity, second through hole, transmission mandrel inner cavity, conventional flow channel, and conventional nozzle, transporting the broken cuttings to the annulus.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0036] Through the combined setting of the pressurizing mechanism, impact mechanism, and drill bit, the present invention realizes cutting a circular groove on the bottom-hole rock surface, releasing the local stress of the bottom-hole rock, and reducing the difficulty of the bottom-hole drill bit "penetrating" into the rock formation during drilling; at the same time, the mechanical impact generated by the impact mechanism can cause cracks on the bottom-hole rock surface, thereby reducing the threshold pressure for the ultra-high-pressure jet to cut into the rock; ultimately, it realizes stress unloading of the bottom-hole rock by cutting a circular groove on the bottom-hole rock, and combined rock breaking by mechanical impact and ultra-high-pressure water jet, thus greatly improving the drilling rate.

[0074] Embodiment 2:

[0075] A drilling method of combined mechanical impact and water jet grooving stress unloading is implemented based on a drilling device of combined mechanical impact and water jet grooving stress unloading. The drilling method includes the following steps:

[0076] Step 1, when the drill bit reaches the bottom of the well, the impregnated diamond 34 at the bottom end of the grooving outer cylinder 32 contacts the bottom of the well prior to the PDC tooth 33.

[0077] Apply the drilling pressure and torque. Under the combined action of the drilling fluid pressure in the casing 22, the bottom hole thrust on the drill bit, and the disc spring 25, the impact hammer 24 realizes pulsed impact on the drill bit. After the pressurizing mechanism pressurizes the drilling fluid, it forms a high-pressure jet through the first pressurizing flow path 12, the high-pressure hose 13, and the high-pressure nozzle 131.

[0078] Under the combined action of the drilling pressure, torque, pulsed impact, and high-pressure jet, the impregnated diamond 34 cuts a circular groove on the bottom end face of the drilling bottom hole to unload the bottom hole pressure.

[0079] Step 2, the drill bit continues to drill, the depth of the circular groove continues to deepen, and the PDC tooth 33 starts to contact the bottom hole rock inside the circular groove and break it.

[0080] Step 3, under the combined action of the drilling pressure, torque, pulsed impact, and high-pressure jet, the cutting of the circular groove by the impregnated diamond 34 and the breaking of the rock inside the circular groove by the PDC tooth 33 continue, realizing combined rock breaking.

[0081] During this process:

[0082] The drilling fluid sprays outwards along the first normal pressure flow path 11, the sleeve flow path 1101, the inner cavity of the casing 22, the second through hole 261, the inner cavity of the drive mandrel 26, the normal flow path 311, and the normal nozzle 312, washes the impregnated diamond 34 and the PDC tooth 33, and then transports the broken rock cuttings to the annulus.

[0083] Through the combined setting of a pressurizing mechanism, an impact mechanism, and a drill bit, the present invention realizes circumferential grooving on the bottom-hole rock surface, releases the local stress of the bottom-hole rock, and reduces the difficulty of the bottom-hole drill bit "penetrating" into the rock formation during the drilling process. At the same time, the mechanical impact generated by the impact mechanism can cause cracks to appear on the bottom-hole rock surface by the drill bit, thereby reducing the threshold pressure for the ultra-high-pressure water jet to cut into the rock. Ultimately, circumferential grooving of the bottom-hole rock is realized to unload the stress of the bottom-hole rock, and rock breaking is achieved through the combination of mechanical impact and ultra-high-pressure water jet, thereby significantly improving the drilling rate.

[0084] Although the specific implementation manners of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation to the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that, based on the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative efforts are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
