Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, and particularly relates to a downhole drill string vibration reduction and torque increase drilling mechanism. Background Technique

[0002] With the increase of the drilling depth, the hardness and plasticity of the rock increase, the drillability becomes poor, the mechanical drilling speed decreases, and the torque of the drill bit is often insufficient to break the rock, resulting in the instantaneous stop of the drill bit rotation. When the torque accumulates to a certain value, it will be released, applying a much higher impact load on the drill bit than usual. This phenomenon will lead to the reduction of the mechanical drilling speed, premature failure of the drill bit, and shortening of the service life of the lower drill string.

[0003] Practice shows that the previous simple axial impact drilling technology cannot effectively solve the problem of insufficient drill bit torque, and even exacerbate the stick-slip vibration phenomenon. Applying a certain frequency of torsional impact to the drill bit during the drilling process can effectively solve the problem of insufficient rock-breaking torque, thereby improving the mechanical rock-breaking efficiency, weakening the stick-slip vibration of the drill bit, and extending the service life of the bottom drill string.

[0004] In current rotary impact drilling tools, a rotary impact drill assembly provided by the Torkbuster rotary impactor patent publication number US6742609B2 in the United States uses a turbine to drive an impact hammer to generate high-frequency torsional impacts. Also, a rotary impact drilling tool provided by the patent publication number 200910058083.9 of Southwest Petroleum University consists of a housing, a screw motor stator, a screw motor rotor, a universal shaft, a transmission shaft, a cavity carrier, a sliding impactor, and a near-bit drill string sub. The housing and the near-bit drill string sub are connected by splines and positioned by a shaft shoulder. The screw motor rotor and the screw motor stator cooperate to form a screw motor, and the screw motor rotor is connected to the universal shaft by threads. The universal shaft is hollow and is connected to the eccentric hole of the transmission shaft through needle roller bearings and thrust ball bearings. Four diversion holes and one drainage hole are arranged on the transmission shaft. The central hole of the screw motor rotor, the central hole of the universal shaft, and the drainage hole are connected. An auxiliary thrust bearing is arranged in the inner hole at the lower end of the transmission shaft. The transmission shaft is connected to the cavity carrier at the lower end by threads and is positioned by the first connection end face and the second connection end face. A stop sleeve is arranged at the upper end of the cavity carrier. The stop sleeve is connected to the upper end of the near-bit drill string sub by threads, and a thrust bearing is arranged at the upper end of the stop sleeve. The sliding impactor is arranged in the cavity of the cavity carrier and is fixed by the first pin and the second pin. There is an impact hammer inside the sliding impactor. The first pin is arranged in the hole formed by the cooperation of the semi-circular groove in the cavity carrier and the annular notch on the sliding impactor. The second pin is arranged in the hole formed by the cooperation of another semi-circular groove in the cavity carrier and the elongated notch on the sliding impactor. The anti-drop ring is connected to the housing by threads. A thrust roller bearing is arranged between the cavity carrier and the anti-drop ring. An annular spring is arranged between the anti-drop ring and the shaft shoulder of the near-bit drill string sub. The impact shoulder on the near-bit drill string sub and the impact hammer on the sliding impactor cooperate to form a ratchet structure. The lower end joint of the near-bit drill string sub is connected to a PDC bit. These two solutions use a positive displacement motor to drive the impact hammer, and the method of using downhole motor tools to achieve torsional impact consumes a large pressure drop.

[0043] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0044] The embodiment of the present invention provides a downhole drill string vibration reduction and torque increase drilling mechanism, including a housing 3, the housing 3 is a tubular structure; an upper sub 1 and a lower sub 12, both fixedly connected to both ends of the housing 3. An upper plug 2 is screwed to the bottom of the upper sub 1, and the upper plug 2 is fitted with the housing 3 through splines, as Figure 3As shown, the spline plays a role in limiting the upper plug 2. One end of the lower joint 12 connected to the housing 3 is connected with an impact seat 11. There is an impact space inside the impact seat 11. The diameters of the upper joint 1, the housing 3 and the lower joint 12 are all equal. A vibration damping and torque increasing device, one end of which is connected to the upper plug 2 and the other end extends into the impact space of the impact seat 11, is used to convert the axial relative vibration of the drill string into a repeated torsional motion.

[0045] Specifically, during the operation, as Figure 1 shown, the upper part of the upper joint 1 is fixedly connected with an upper drill string, and the bottom of the lower joint 12 is fixedly connected with a drill bit. During the drilling process, affected by the rotary operation, longitudinal vibration will occur between the upper drill string and the lower drill bit. The installed vibration damping and torque increasing device can convert the longitudinal vibration into torsional impact vibration, thereby increasing the torque of the drill bit, improving the mechanical rotation speed of the drill bit in medium-hard rock formations and highly abrasive formations, suppressing the stick-slip vibration phenomenon of the PDC and the drill bit, enabling the drill string torque to be smoothly applied to the bottom of the well, and prolonging the service life of the drill bit and the bottom hole assembly.

[0046] In a feasible embodiment, the vibration damping and torque increasing device includes a torque increasing component. The torque increasing component is installed in the middle of the housing 3. The torque increasing component includes a vibration shaft 4. One end of the vibration shaft 4 is screwed to the upper plug 2, and the other end passes through the impact member and extends into the impact seat 11. The circumferential diameter of the impact space is larger than the circumferential diameter of the vibration shaft 4. A rolling member is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the vibration shaft 4.

[0047] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a spiral raceway is provided on the inner side of the impact member. The rolling member cooperates with the spiral raceway to convert the axial relative motion into a repeated torsional motion of the impact member. The impact member then knocks the impact seat 11 to transmit the torsional impact force downward to the drill bit for rock breaking. Further, the cam roller cooperation between the rolling member and the impact member can convert the axial relative vibration into a repeated torsional motion of the impact member. Specifically, the rolling member is a ball 8, and the number of balls 8 is four. The four balls 8 are equally spaced. The impact member is an impact hammer 9. The impact hammer 9, the lower joint 12 and the housing 3 are all connected by threads in sequence.

[0048] In a feasible embodiment, the vibration damping and torque increasing device further includes a vibration damping component. The vibration damping component is arranged inside the housing 3 and is located in the middle outside the vibration shaft 4. The vibration damping component is used for vibration damping and transmitting the drilling pressure. Among them, the vibration damping component includes an elastic member and a pressure bearing disc 6. One side of the pressure bearing disc 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 3 through a positioning screw 13 and is located in the upper middle outside the vibration shaft 4, forming a vibration damping space with the upper plug 2. The elastic member is located in the vibration damping space and is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure bearing disc 6 close to the upper plug 2, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown. Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic member is preferably a spring 5.

[0049] In a feasible embodiment, the vibration damping and torque increasing device further includes a limiting component. The limiting component is sleeved outside the vibration shaft 4 and is located in the lower middle of the vibration shaft 4. The limiting component is used to limit the axial displacement of the vibration shaft 4 in the housing 3. Specifically, the limiting component includes an upper pressing plate 7 and a lower pressing plate 10. The upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 10 are respectively sleeved at both ends of the middle part of the vibration shaft 4. The upper pressing plate 7 is located on the side of the pressure-bearing plate 6 away from the spring 5. The lower pressing plate 10 is located between the impact hammer 9 and the impact seat 11. Both opposite sides of the lower pressing plate 10 are clamped with both sides of the impact space of the impact seat 11. The lower pressing plate 10 is closely attached to one side of the impact hammer 9.

[0050] In a feasible embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the upper joint 1, the upper plug 2 and the vibration shaft 4 form an integral whole among them, and the impact hammer 9, the impact seat 11 and the lower joint 12 form another integral whole. When the two integral wholes are combined together, during the drilling process, there is an axial relative vibration between the two integral wholes. Through the cam roller cooperation between the vibration shaft 4 and the impact hammer 9, the axial relative vibration can be converted into the repeated torque rotation of the impact hammer 9, solving the problem that the torque of the drill bit is often insufficient to break rocks in the prior art, thereby causing the drill bit to stop rotating instantly; at the same time, compared with the existing publicly disclosed patent technologies, the structures of all parts of the drilling mechanism in this embodiment are simple, without changing the existing drilling process and equipment, and without affecting the normal circulation and drilling operations.

[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
