Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cuttings fishing, washing and sampling, and is a cuttings fishing and washing system. Background Art
[0002] During the process of oil exploration and drilling, the cuttings generated are important information carriers for understanding the formation and important bases for discovering and evaluating oil and gas reservoirs. During the drilling process, it is necessary to scientifically analyze the cuttings returned from the bottom of the well in a timely manner to obtain accurate geological information of the oil well, timely master the location and depth information of oil and gas reservoirs, and provide a reliable basis for the development of oil and gas fields. The logging operation is to obtain the true formation information by real-time monitoring and scientific analysis of the formation cuttings during the drilling process, and provide a scientific and effective plan for the development of the oil field.
[0003] During drilling, the formation cuttings and drilling mud are mixed together and pumped to the ground by a mud pump. This mixture contains a large amount of mud cakes and cuttings solid particles, and it is necessary to separate them to obtain the required cuttings samples. At present in the petroleum industry, logging sand fishing is carried out manually on the vibrating screen of the drilling rig. The obtained cuttings are mixed with a large amount of soil, and then the cuttings and soil are separated and cleaned manually, which consumes a lot of manual time and cannot continuously sample. The number of cuttings samples taken is small, the efficiency is low, and it is easy to miss formation information. With the rapid development of modern drilling technology, the drilling speed has been greatly improved. It is very difficult to rely on manual fishing and separation of cuttings samples to meet the technological requirements of drilling and logging. There is an urgent need for automated logging cuttings sampling and separation equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a cuttings fishing and washing system, which overcomes the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and can effectively solve the problems of small quantity, low efficiency of the cuttings sampled in the existing logging sand fishing, and easy omission of formation information.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is realized by the following measures: A cuttings fishing and washing system includes a sand fishing mechanism, a sand guiding pipe, and a sand cleaning mechanism. The sand cleaning mechanism includes a frame, a turntable, a sand receiving hopper, and a driving mechanism. A turntable is rotatably installed on the upper part of the frame. A plurality of vertically penetrating mounting holes are evenly distributed at intervals along the circumference at the upper end of the turntable. A sand receiving hopper is sleeved in each mounting hole. The sand receiving hopper is in a cylindrical shape with an upper opening and a lower closed bottom. A limiting step is provided on the outer side of the upper part of the sand receiving hopper corresponding to the upper end of the turntable. A plurality of water filtering holes are distributed at intervals on the outer side of the lower part of the sand receiving hopper corresponding to the lower part of the turntable. A driving mechanism capable of rotating the turntable is provided in the middle of the frame. A sand guiding pipe is provided above the frame. The left end of the sand guiding pipe is located above one of the sand receiving hoppers. The right end of the sand guiding pipe is fixedly communicated with the sand outlet of the sand fishing mechanism capable of conveying cuttings samples into the sand guiding pipe.

[0006] The following are further optimizations and / or improvements to the above-mentioned technical solution of the invention: The above-mentioned sand fishing mechanism may include a screw conveyor and a feed chute. The sand outlet is arranged on the lower right side of the screw conveyor. A feed chute is fixedly installed on the upper side of the screw conveyor. The cross-section of the feed chute is a trapezoid with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part.
[0007] The left end of the above-mentioned sand guide pipe is inclined downward relative to the right end. After the left end of the sand guide pipe is bent downward, it is fixedly connected to a funnel-shaped connector with a large upper part and a small lower part. After the right end of the sand guide pipe is bent upward, it is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe. The upper end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the sand outlet.
[0008] A circulating water tank may be fixedly installed on the left side of the lower part of the above-mentioned frame. A circulating water pump is fixedly installed inside the circulating water tank. A first circulating water pipe is fixedly connected between the outlet of the circulating water pump and the connecting pipe.

A second circulating water pipe is fixedly connected between the lower side of the water collecting box and the upper part of the circulating water tank.
[0010] The above-mentioned flushing mechanism may include a cleaning spray head, a cleaning water tank, and a cleaning water pump. A cleaning spray head is arranged on the upper side of the sand receiving hopper corresponding to the front position of the left end of the sand guide pipe. A cleaning water tank is fixedly installed on the right side of the upper part of the frame. A cleaning water pump is fixedly installed on the lower part of the frame corresponding to the lower position of the driving mechanism.

Each mounting hole is sleeved with a sand receiving hopper 3. The sand receiving hopper 3 is in the shape of a cylinder with an open upper part and a closed lower part. A limiting step 5 is arranged on the outer side of the upper part of the sand receiving hopper 3 corresponding to the upper end of the turntable 2. A plurality of water filtering holes 6 are distributed at intervals on the outer side of the lower part of the sand receiving hopper 3 corresponding to the lower part of the turntable 2. A driving mechanism 4 capable of rotating the turntable 2 is arranged in the middle of the frame 1. A sand guiding pipe 7 is arranged above the frame 1. The left end of the sand guiding pipe 7 is located above one of the sand receiving hoppers 3. The right end of the sand guiding pipe 7 is fixedly communicated with the sand outlet 9 of the sand fishing mechanism capable of conveying the cuttings sample into the sand guiding pipe 7. A flushing mechanism capable of flushing the cuttings sample in the sand receiving hopper 3 is arranged on the right side of the frame 1.
[0021] According to requirements, the driving mechanism 4 is a well-known electric indexing table in the prior art, which facilitates adding cuttings samples into each sand receiving hopper 3, rinsing the cuttings samples in each sand receiving hopper 3, and obtaining information after taking out the sand receiving hopper 3 with the cuttings samples cleaned. During use, a limiting step 5 is provided on the outer side of the upper part of the sand receiving hopper 3 corresponding to the upper end position of the turntable 2, so that the sand receiving hopper 3 can be seated in the mounting hole, facilitating the access and placement of the sand receiving hopper. By setting up the sand fishing mechanism, the cuttings samples enter the sand fishing mechanism after passing through the drilling shaker, which can reduce the working intensity of the operator for obtaining cuttings samples. The cuttings samples enter the sand receiving hopper 3 through the sand fishing mechanism, the driving mechanism 4 drives the sand receiving hopper 3 to rotate, and at the same time, the impact mechanism rinses the cuttings samples in the sand receiving hopper 3 clean, facilitating the subsequent acquisition of cuttings sample information, enabling the continuous sampling work of cuttings samples, and meeting the technological requirements of drilling and logging.
