Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of measurement-while-drilling in oil and gas drilling, and particularly relates to a method for sealing glue of an antenna of a near-bit azimuth gamma measurement-while-drilling tool. Background Art

[0002] Near-bit azimuth gamma is a new type of geosteering measurement-while-drilling technology developed in recent years. Compared with conventional natural gamma, it can not only distinguish the formation lithology on both sides of the formation interface, but also accurately determine the relative position relationship of the formations on both sides of the interface, and has obvious effects in improving the reservoir encounter rate and drilling efficiency, optimizing the wellbore trajectory, reducing downhole geological risks, etc. With the exploration and development of complex reservoir oil and gas resources and unconventional resources such as shale oil and gas and tight oil and gas, it has broad application prospects. At present, near-bit azimuth gamma at home and abroad generally consists of two parts: a measurement and emission sub-section and a receiving sub-section. Its connection method in the BHA is generally "bit + near-bit azimuth gamma measurement and emission sub-section + screw drill + drill string check valve + (stabilizer) + near-bit azimuth gamma receiving sub-section + non-magnetic drill collar and MWD". In order to realize the short-distance transmission of azimuth gamma data and near-bit well inclination data across the screw drill between the measurement and emission sub-section and the receiving sub-section, it is necessary to design and install a data emission antenna on the measurement and emission sub-section and a data receiving antenna on the receiving sub-section.

[0003] Under the current technical conditions, in order to meet the functional requirements, the insulation resistance between the antenna and the near-bit azimuth gamma tool body should be greater than 500 MΩ. Therefore, non-metallic materials should be used and metal materials cannot be used. At the same time, in the measurement-while-drilling operation of oil and gas drilling, the antenna of near-bit azimuth gamma works under harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, high vibration, and strong erosion. Compared with metal materials, the service life and erosion resistance of non-metallic materials are much lower than those of metal materials. Therefore, higher requirements are put forward for the antenna processing and manufacturing process.

[0004] The publication number CN107599270A discloses an antenna array surface glue-sealing colloid shaping device, including: a handheld part, a connecting part is provided at the front end of the handheld part, and the handheld part and the connecting part are integrally formed; a shaping part, the shaping part is sleeved outside the connecting part and is used for shaping the glue-sealing. The glue-sealing colloid shaping device of the present invention sleeved the shaping part at the front end of the handheld part, and the shaping part is used to process the phenomena of non-smooth, uneven, and burrs on the glue-sealing colloid. Compared with the existing manual shaping method, by using the glue-sealing colloid shaping device of the present invention, the appearance of the glue-sealing at the joint can be made consistent, beautiful, the shaping efficiency is increased by 50%, the glue-sealing production cycle is greatly shortened, the problem of inconsistent and unbeautiful appearance of the colloid that has been criticized for a long time is solved, and the quality hidden danger in the glue-sealing process is reduced.

[0005] At present, the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling (LWD) tool in China is still in the research and experimental application stage as a whole, and only a few domestic manufacturers have the research and development capabilities. Specifically, in terms of the sealing glue for the near-bit azimuth gamma antenna, there are problems such as non-standard sealing glue methods, lack of systematic operating procedures and standards. Most of the operations are completed manually. There are difficulties in the sealing glue process, such as irregular sealing glue shapes, easy inclusion of air bubbles in the glue, and low production efficiency, which lead to a series of problems, such as being unfavorable for antenna winding and turn number recording, uncertain antenna parameters, insufficient antenna pressure-bearing capacity, increased risk of antenna failure underground, and large measurement errors in gamma and well inclination. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the problems of irregular sealing glue shapes, easy inclusion of air bubbles in the glue, and low production efficiency in the existing sealing glue process, the present invention provides a method for sealing glue for the antenna of a near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool. The present invention seals the glue through a variety of designed processing and sealing glue toolings, improves the sealing glue quality of the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool, not only basically eliminates the influence of individual technical level differences on the sealing glue quality, but also increases the service life and safety reliability of the antenna underground, and ensures the measurement accuracy.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for sealing glue for the antenna of a near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool, and the specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Design and process a sealing glue tooling according to the size of the antenna to be sealed with glue; Step 2: Spray a zirconia insulation layer at the antenna winding groove, and manually polish and trim the coating thickness with sandpaper after spraying; Step 3: Install the antenna power line with a sealing plug in the antenna power line installation hole. After installation, conduct an insulation resistance test between the antenna power line and the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body. If it is greater than 500 MΩ, it is qualified; Step 4: Install a magnetic ring; Step 5: Seal the magnetic ring with glue; Step 6: Wind enameled wire at the magnetic ring; Step 7: Weld the enameled wire to the antenna power line; Step 8: Seal the enameled wire with glue; Step 9: Install the corresponding antenna inner cylinder, sealing ring, retaining ring and antenna outer cover outside the enameled wire; Step 10: Seal the antenna outer cover with glue; Step 11: Conduct a pressure test after the sealing of the antenna outer cover is completed.

[0008] The sealing glue tooling includes a magnetic ring sealing glue tooling, an enameled wire sealing glue tooling and an antenna outer cover sealing glue tooling.

[0009] In step 4, the specific method of installing the magnetic ring is as follows: evenly apply glue on the zirconia coating, and evenly stick the magnetic ring on the surface of the zirconia coating. When sticking, use a thickness feeler gauge to adjust the gap size between adjacent magnetic rings to 0.5mm±0.05mm.

[0010] In the step 5, the specific steps of sealing the magnetic ring are as follows: First, surround the magnetic ring with a magnetic ring sealing tool. The inner wall of the magnetic ring sealing tool is coated with silicone grease, and the outside is fixed with tape. All gaps where glue may overflow are sealed with sealant. Second, prepare the epoxy glue and put it in a vacuum box to degas for at least 30 minutes, then pour it from the glue inlet of the magnetic ring sealing tooling. When a small amount of epoxy glue overflows from the glue outlet, stop injecting the glue and let it stand for at least 30 minutes to solidify. Third, put the antenna part together with the near-drilling azimuth gamma while drilling measurement tool body into a high-temperature box, and solidify them statically at 75-85°C for at least 6 hours. Then take out the near-drilling azimuth gamma while drilling measurement tool body from the high-temperature box, and remove the sealing tooling after natural cooling.

[0011] The magnetic ring sealing tooling is composed of a left half ring and a right half ring. When in use, the two half rings are combined into a hollow cylindrical shape. A glue inlet is provided on one side of the magnetic ring sealing tooling, and a glue outlet is provided on the other side. Wire grooves and oblique openings are designed on both sides of the inner hole. The oblique openings are fitted with both ends of the antenna groove of the antenna connector for positioning the magnetic ring sealing tooling. Pre-proportioned epoxy glue is injected through the right opening. The left side is an exhaust port. After the sealing is completed, wire grooves on both sides are generated to facilitate subsequent winding.

[0012] In step 6, the specific steps of winding the enameled wire are as follows: The first step is to install the near-drill bit near-drilling azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool body onto the winding tooling after the magnetic ring is sealed with glue; The second step is to install the enameled wire on the winding roller of the winding tool, and lead the wire out from the lower end; The third step is to make the enameled wire flush with the end face of the magnetic ring sealant near the antenna power line installation hole. After leaving 8cm-12cm of the connector lead, start winding along the circumference of the magnetic ring sealant surface. After manually winding a few turns, turn on the rotating part of the winding tooling and automatically wind at a speed of 15-25 rpm; until it is wound flush with the other end face of the magnetic ring sealant, one layer of winding is completed, and the surface of the layer of epoxy glue is evenly applied; Step 4: Without cutting the enameled wire, start to wind it back in two layers. After the second layer is wound, evenly apply epoxy glue, then wind it back in the third layer, and so on. Repeat this process until the enameled wire is wound in n layers. Step 5: After winding the nth layer, which is the last circle, leave at least 10cm of connector lead wire, cut the enameled wire, and then evenly apply the last layer of epoxy glue on the surface of the nth layer; Step 6: Test the resistance, inductance and insulation resistance at both ends of the enameled wire and make sure they meet the requirements.

[0013] In step 7, the steps of welding the antenna power line and the enameled wire are as follows: Remove the insulation layer of the positive power line and the negative power line to the same height as the nth layer of enameled wire, and spread it flat to the outermost layer of the enameled wire; remove 10mm of insulation layer from the two wiring leads of the enameled wire, weld the wiring lead of the first layer of enameled wire to the negative power line by wrapping welding, and weld the wiring lead of the nth layer of enameled wire to the positive power line by wrapping welding; place highland barley paper under the welding point for insulation protection, and use epoxy resin glue to coat the antenna power line and the enameled wire and fix them on the surface of the nth layer of enameled wire.

[0014] In the step eight, the steps of sealing the enameled wire are as follows: In the first step, only the sealing ring is installed in the sealing ring groove on the body of the near-drilling azimuth gamma measurement while drilling tool without the retaining ring; The second step is to install the enameled wire sealing tooling and the sealing auxiliary system, with the enameled wire sealing tooling's glue inlet at the bottom and the air extraction port at the top; Step 3: Prepare epoxy glue and put it into a vacuum box for degassing for at least 30 minutes; The fourth step is to pour the prepared epoxy glue into the glue sealing tank, open the exhaust port valve of the enameled wire glue sealing tool, turn on the vacuum pump to pump to -0.1MPa, open the glue inlet valve of the enameled wire glue sealing tool for negative pressure glue sealing, and stop injecting glue when epoxy glue appears in the exhaust pipeline and its liquid level is basically flush with the liquid level in the glue inlet pipeline; Step 5: Allow the glue to solidify for at least 30 minutes, then place the antenna part and the near-drilling azimuth gamma measurement while drilling tool body into a high-temperature box and allow it to solidify for at least 6 hours at 75-85°C. Step 6. Take out the near-drilling azimuth gamma measurement while drilling tool body from the high-temperature box, remove the sealing tool after natural cooling, and check whether the outer diameter size and Shore hardness of the sealing are qualified.

[0015] In the above step 10, the specific steps of sealing the antenna cover are as follows: The first step is to install the antenna cover glue sealing tooling and the glue sealing auxiliary system. The glue inlet of the antenna cover glue sealing tooling is at the bottom and the air extraction port is at the top; The second step is to prepare epoxy glue and put it into a vacuum box for degassing for at least 30 minutes; The third step is to pour the prepared epoxy glue into the sealing tank, open the exhaust port valve of the antenna cover sealing tool, start the vacuum pump to pump to -0.1MPa, open the glue inlet valve of the antenna cover sealing tool for negative pressure sealing, and stop injecting glue when epoxy glue appears in the exhaust pipeline and its liquid level is basically flush with the liquid level in the glue inlet pipeline; Step 4: Let the glue solidify for at least 30 minutes, then put the antenna part together with the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body into a high-temperature oven and let it stand for 6 hours at 75 - 85°C for curing; Step 5: Take out the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body from the high-temperature oven, remove the antenna cover sealing glue tooling after natural cooling, and measure the hardness of the sealed glue with a portable Shore hardness tester. A Shore hardness of 90 - 95 is qualified; Step 6: Measure the resistance, inductance, and insulation resistance between the positive and negative power supply lines. The resistance between the positive and negative power supply lines is 25 ± 2 Ω, the inductance between the positive and negative power supply lines is 155 ± 15 mH, and the insulation resistance between the positive and negative power supply lines and the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body is > 500 MΩ to be qualified.

[0016] In the above-mentioned step 2, the unilateral thickness of the sprayed zirconia insulation layer is 0.2 mm - 0.3 mm.

[0017] Advantages of the present invention: By adopting measures such as special tooling equipment, standardized operating procedures, and sealant ratio, the present invention improves the sealant quality of the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool, not only basically eliminates the influence of individual technical level differences on the sealant quality, but also increases the service life and safety reliability of the antenna underground, and ensures the measurement accuracy.

[0018] The sealant method for the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool provided by the present invention greatly improves the production efficiency, has strong feasibility and popularization, and lays a foundation for industrial production.

[0019] The present invention can be used for sealant of the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool with series sizes such as 4.75 〃 and 6.75 〃 etc., and has good versatility. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0031] Embodiment 1: In order to overcome the problems existing in the existing sealing glue process, such as irregular sealing glue shape, easy inclusion of air bubbles in the colloid, and low production efficiency, the present invention provides a method for sealing glue for the antenna of a near-bit azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool as shown in Figure 1-7 By using a variety of designed processing and sealing glue toolings for sealing glue, the present invention improves the sealing glue quality of the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool, not only basically eliminates the influence of individual technical level differences on the sealing glue quality, but also increases the service life and safety reliability of the antenna underground, and ensures the measurement accuracy.

[0032] A method for sealing glue for the antenna of a near-bit azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool, the specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Design and process the sealing glue tooling according to the size of the antenna to be sealed. Step 2: Spray a zirconia insulating layer at the antenna winding groove, and after spraying, manually polish and trim the coating thickness with sandpaper. Step 3: Install the antenna power cable with a sealing plug in the antenna power cable installation hole 8. After installation, perform an insulation resistance test between the antenna power cable and the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1. A value greater than 500 MΩ is considered qualified; Step 4: Install the magnetic ring 5; Step 5: Seal the magnetic ring 5 with glue; Step 6: Wind the enameled wire 4 around the magnetic ring 5; Step 7: Weld the enameled wire 4 to the antenna power cable; Step 8: Seal the enameled wire 4 with glue; Step 9: Install the corresponding antenna inner cylinder 3, sealing ring 7, retaining ring 6 and antenna outer cover 2 outside the enameled wire 4; Step 10: Seal the antenna outer cover 2 with glue; Step 11: After the antenna outer cover 2 is sealed with glue, perform a pressure test.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, between the antenna inner cylinders 3 at the spraying parts of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1, there are a magnetic ring 5 and an enameled wire 4. The enameled wire 4 is connected to the lead-out joint of the antenna inner cylinder 3. Inside the antenna inner cylinder 3, there are a sealing ring 7 and a retaining ring 6; in the antenna power cable installation hole 8, there are an antenna power cable and a sealing plug, and the antenna power cable is connected to the lead-out joint of the enameled wire 4. The antenna outer cover 2 is arranged outside the two ends of the antenna inner cylinder 3, and the outer wall of the antenna outer cover 2 is flush with the outer wall of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1; the middle part of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1 is a channel.

[0034] In the present invention, the function of the antenna power cable is to provide current for the antenna. There are two power cables, one is the positive wire and the other is the negative wire, forming a complete power supply circuit for the antenna. The sealing plug seals and separates the antenna winding groove from the circuit part at the other end of the antenna power cable installation hole 8, preventing drilling fluid from entering the inside of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1 along the hole of the antenna power cable installation hole 8 in case the antenna glue seal is damaged during downhole operations.

[0035] In the present invention, through the corresponding sealing fixtures for the installation of the corresponding structures, the sealing quality of the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool is improved. It not only basically eliminates the influence of individual technical level differences on the sealing quality, but also increases the service life and safety reliability of the antenna in the well, and ensures the measurement accuracy. The present invention improves the production efficiency, has strong feasibility and popularization, and lays a foundation for industrial production. The present invention is used for sealing the antenna of the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool with series sizes such as 4.75 〃 and 6.75 〃 etc., and has good versatility.

[0036] Example 2: Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, preferably, the potting tooling includes a magnetic ring potting tooling, an enameled wire potting tooling, and an antenna cover potting tooling.

[0037] Preferably, in Step 4, the specific method for installing the magnetic ring 5 is as follows: Apply glue evenly on the zirconia coating, and paste the magnetic ring 5 evenly on the surface of the zirconia coating. When pasting, use a thickness gauge to adjust the gap between adjacent magnetic rings 5 to be 0.5 mm ± 0.05 mm.

[0038] Preferably, in Step 2, the single-sided thickness of the sprayed zirconia insulating layer is 0.2 mm - 0.3 mm.

[0039] In the present invention, a zirconia insulating layer is sprayed at the antenna winding groove. The thickness of the sprayed zirconia insulating layer is uniform, without defects such as peeling and cracks. The insulation resistance between the zirconia insulating layer and the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1 is greater than 100 MΩ. After spraying, manually polish and trim the coating thickness with sandpaper. After polishing and correction, the single-sided thickness is 0.2 - 0.3 mm.

[0040] Preferably, in Step 5, the specific steps for potting the magnetic ring 5 are as follows: First, surround the magnetic ring 5 with the magnetic ring potting tooling. The inner wall of the magnetic ring potting tooling is coated with silicone grease and fixed with tape on the outside. Sealant is applied to seal all possible glue-overflowing gaps. Second, prepare epoxy glue and put it into a vacuum chamber for degassing for at least 30 minutes. Pour it in from the glue inlet of the magnetic ring potting tooling. Stop injecting glue when a small amount of epoxy glue overflows from the glue outlet, and let it stand for at least 30 minutes to solidify the glue. Third, put the antenna part together with the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1 into a high-temperature oven and let it stand for curing at 75 - 85 °C for at least 6 hours. Then take out the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1 from the high-temperature oven and remove the potting tooling after natural cooling.

[0041] In the present invention, applying silicone grease on the inner wall of the magnetic ring potting tooling facilitates demolding, and it is fixed with tape (fiberglass tape) on the outside. Sealant is applied to seal all possible glue-overflowing gaps. In the present invention, when pasting the magnetic rings, use a 0.5-mm-thick steel sheet to adjust the gap between adjacent magnetic rings 5 to be 0.5 mm, and the error value of the gap size is ±0.05 mm.

[0042] In the present invention, the epoxy glue prepared during the potting process of the magnetic ring 5 is a two-component epoxy glue, and its total weight is configured according to requirements. The two-component epoxy glue includes a curing agent and a heat-resistant epoxy potting material. The weight ratio of the curing agent to the heat-resistant epoxy potting material is 5:1. Only when the curing agent and the heat-resistant epoxy potting material are mixed can the performance indicators such as mechanical strength, insulation, and resistance to thermal shock after curing meet the practical requirements.

When in use, the two half rings are combined into a hollow cylindrical shape. A glue inlet is provided on one side of the magnetic ring glue sealing tool, and a glue outlet is provided on the other side.

[0045] Preferably, in step six, the specific steps of winding the enameled wire 4 are as follows: In the first step, after the magnetic ring 5 is sealed with glue, the near-drilling azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool body 1 is installed on the winding tooling; The second step is to install the enameled wire 4 on the winding roller of the winding tool, and lead the wire out from the lower end; The third step is to make the enameled wire 4 flush with the end face of the sealant of the magnetic ring 5 near the antenna power line installation hole 8, leaving 8 cm -12 cm of the connector lead, and then start winding along the circumference of the sealant surface of the magnetic ring 5. After manually winding a few turns, turn on the rotating part of the winding tooling, and automatically wind at a speed of 15-25 rpm; until it is wound flush with the other sealant end face of the magnetic ring 5, one layer of winding is completed, and epoxy glue is evenly applied on the surface of the layer; Step 4: Without cutting the enameled wire 4, start to wind it back in two layers. After the second layer is wound, evenly apply epoxy glue, and then wind it back in the third layer, ... and repeat this process until the enameled wire is wound in n layers in total. Step 5: After winding the nth layer, i.e. the last circle, leave at least 10 cm of connector lead wire, cut the enameled wire 4, and then evenly apply the last layer of epoxy glue on the surface of the nth layer; Step 6: Test the resistance, inductance and insulation resistance at both ends of the enameled wire 4 and make sure they meet the requirements.

Figure 2 Directly below the spraying part of the near-drill-bit and near-drill-azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool body 1 shown, the near-drill-bit and near-drill-azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool body 1 is connected to the rotating part of the winding tooling. During the winding operation, the enameled wire 4 is automatically wound by the rotation of the rotating part of the winding tooling.

[0047] In the present invention, after winding the enameled wire 4, an LCR meter is used to measure the resistance, inductance and insulation resistance at both ends of the enameled wire 4. The resistance at both ends of the enameled wire 4 is 25±2Ω, the inductance at both ends of the enameled wire 4 is 155±15mH, and the insulation resistance between the enameled wire 4 and the near-drill-bit near-drilling azimuth gamma while-drilling measurement tool body 1 is >500MΩ. The diameter of the enameled wire 4 is 0.56mm, and each layer is evenly coated with epoxy glue.

[0048] Preferably, in step seven, the steps of welding the antenna power line and the enameled wire 4 are as follows: Remove the insulation layer of the positive power line and the negative power line to the same height as the nth layer of enameled wire, and lay them flat to the outermost layer of the enameled wire 4; remove 10 mm of insulation layer from the two terminal leads of the enameled wire 4, weld the terminal lead of the first layer of enameled wire 4 to the negative power line by wrapping welding, and weld the terminal lead of the nth layer of enameled wire 4 to the positive power line by wrapping welding; place highland barley paper under the welding point for insulation protection, and use epoxy resin glue to coat the antenna power line and the enameled wire 4 and fix them on the surface of the nth layer of enameled wire 4.

[0049] In the present invention, the welding portion between the antenna power line and the enameled wire 4 is also insulated and protected by a heat shrink tube.

[0050] Preferably, in step eight, the steps of sealing the enameled wire 4 are as follows: In the first step, only the sealing ring 7 is installed in the sealing ring groove on the near-drilling azimuth gamma measurement while drilling tool body 1 without the retaining ring 6; The second step is to install the enameled wire sealing tooling and the sealing auxiliary system, with the enameled wire sealing tooling's glue inlet at the bottom and the air extraction port at the top; Step 3: Prepare epoxy glue and put it into a vacuum box for degassing for at least 30 minutes; The fourth step is to pour the prepared epoxy glue into the glue sealing tank, open the exhaust port valve of the enameled wire glue sealing tool, turn on the vacuum pump to pump to -0.1MPa, open the glue inlet valve of the enameled wire glue sealing tool for negative pressure glue sealing, and stop injecting glue when epoxy glue appears in the exhaust pipeline and its liquid level is basically flush with the liquid level in the glue inlet pipeline; Step 5: Allow the glue to stand for at least 30 minutes to solidify, then place the antenna part together with the near-drilling azimuth gamma measurement while drilling tool body 1 into a high temperature box and allow it to stand for at least 6 hours at 75-85°C to solidify; Step 6: Take out the near-drilling azimuth gamma measurement while drilling tool body 1 from the high-temperature box, remove the sealing tool after natural cooling, and check whether the outer diameter size and Shore hardness of the sealing are qualified.

[0051] In the present invention, during the encapsulation of the enameled wire 4, only the sealing ring 7 is installed in the sealing ring groove on the near-bit azimuth gamma logging-while-drilling tool body 1, and the retaining ring 6 is not installed.
