Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0061] The core of the present application is to provide a composite drilling drive joint, and using this composite drilling drive joint can improve the drilling speed of coiled tubing sidetracking. Another core of the present application is to provide a coiled tubing drilling composite drill string including the above - mentioned composite drilling drive joint.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 1, the present application provides a compound drilling drive joint, including a drill barrel 11 with a hollow tube sleeve structure, a flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12, a rotating sub-drill rod 13, a sub-drill rod connector 15 and a throttle 14; wherein, the distal end of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 is inserted into the proximal end inside the drill barrel 11 and can slide along the length direction of the drill barrel 11; the inner end of the rotating sub-drill rod 13 is inserted into the distal end inside the drill barrel 11 and can rotate unidirectionally around the center line of the drill barrel 11 towards a preset direction, and the outer end of the rotating sub-drill rod 13 extends out of the drill barrel 11; the sub-drill rod connector 15 is inserted into the proximal end inside the drill barrel 11 and is located between the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 and the rotating sub-drill rod 13. The first end of the sub-drill rod connector 15 is drivingly connected to the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12, and the second end is drivingly connected to the rotating sub-drill rod 13. The movement of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 can drive the rotating sub-drill rod 13 to rotate through the sub-drill rod connector 15, and the inner cavity of the sub-drill rod connector 15 communicates with the inner cavities of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 and the rotating sub-drill rod 13 to form a mud channel; the throttle 14 is conductively connected to the inside of the second end of the sub-drill rod connector 15 and is used to generate a driving force for driving the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 to move towards the distal end of the drill barrel 11.
[0063] As Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 10 As shown, the drill barrel 11, the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12, the rotating sub-drill rod 13 and the sub-drill rod connector 15 are all of hollow tube sleeve structures. Among them, the lower rod section of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 is inserted inside the upper barrel section of the drill barrel 11, the upper rod section of the rotating sub-drill rod 13 is inserted inside the lower barrel section of the drill barrel 11, the sub-drill rod connector 15 is inserted inside the middle barrel section of the drill barrel 11, the bottom end of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 is conductively connected to the top end of the sub-drill rod connector 15, the top end of the rotating sub-drill rod 13 is conductively connected to the bottom end of the rotating sub-drill rod 13, and the throttle 14 is conductively connected to the bottom end of the rotating sub-drill rod 13 to form a complete mud channel for transporting mud.
[0064] In particular, both the upper end of the drill barrel 11 and the upper end of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 have grouting ports to be able to inject mud into the drill barrel 11 and the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12.
[0065] To rotate the drill bit 3 by pushing the drill rod, the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 can slide vertically, and the rotating sub-drill rod 13 can rotate around the center line extending in the vertical direction. Correspondingly, the top end of the sub-drill rod connector 15 is drivingly connected to the bottom end of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12, and the bottom end of the sub-drill rod connector 15 is drivingly connected to the top end of the rotating sub-drill rod 13. The sub-drill rod connector 15 receives the vertical movement of the flat-pushing sub-drill rod 12 and drives the rotating sub-drill rod 13 to rotate around its own center line extending in the vertical direction under the drive of this movement.
[0066] During use, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drill bit 3 is connected to the output end of the positive displacement motor 2, and the rotary sub-drill pipe 13 of the compound drilling drive joint 1 is connected to the top of the positive displacement motor 2, such that the bottom opening of the restrictor 14 communicates with the inlet of the positive displacement motor 2. Then, a mud pump is connected through a coiled tubing at the top of the compound drilling drive joint 1. Next, the mud pump is started to continuously supply drilling mud. When the mud passes through the restrictor 14, a throttling pressure is generated to push the push sub-drill pipe 12 downward. The sub-drill pipe connector 15 is driven by the push sub-drill pipe 12 to rotate a preset angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 The rotary sub-drill pipe 13 is driven by the sub-drill pipe connector 15 to rotate a preset angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 Furthermore, the positive displacement motor 2 is driven by the rotary sub-drill pipe 13 to rotate a preset angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 Finally, the drill bit 3 is driven by the positive displacement motor 2 to rotate a preset angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 That is, when the coiled tubing body cannot rotate, without affecting normal coiled tubing drilling operations and causing other adverse effects on coiled tubing drilling, it is possible to achieve a low-speed step-by-step rotation action of the pipe string while the positive displacement motor rotates at high speed. That is, through the compound drilling drive joint 1, the downhole drilling pipe string can achieve dual rotation, achieving the purpose of coiled tubing drilling compound drilling, breaking through the bottleneck of coiled tubing sidetracking technology, playing a role in increasing the mechanical drilling rate, further improving the construction efficiency, and being conducive to promoting the sustainable development of the coiled tubing sidetracking technology industry.
[0067] In some specific embodiments, the drill barrel 11 is of an integrally formed structure. Or, in some other specific embodiments, the drill barrel 11 includes several barrel sections, and the several barrel sections are hermetically connected by welding or sealing connection and other means.
[0068] In some specific embodiments, the bottom end of the push sub-drill pipe 12 is inserted into the top end interior of the sub-drill pipe connector 15, and a second reset member 16 is sleeved outside the bottom end of the push sub-drill pipe 12 and inside the top end of the sub-drill pipe connector 15. The top end of the second reset member 16 is connected to the push sub-drill pipe 12, and the bottom end is connected to the sub-drill pipe connector 15 to push the push sub-drill pipe 12 to reset. Refer to Figures 1 to 10In the shown orientation, the push-feed sub-drill rod 12 is pushed upward to reset; inside the bottom end of the sub-drill rod connector 15, there are movable first and second driving ends. The top end of the rotary sub-drill rod 13 has a first driving rod section and a second driving rod section from top to bottom. The outer part of the first driving rod section has a number of positive rotation channels, and the outer part of the second driving rod section has a number of reverse rotation channels. Both the positive rotation channels and the reverse rotation channels are spiral grooves. The first driving end can be selectively inserted into or withdrawn from the corresponding positive rotation channels, and the second driving end can be selectively inserted into or withdrawn from the corresponding reverse rotation channels. When in use, when the push-feed sub-drill rod 12 moves downward, the first driving end is sequentially inserted into and then withdrawn from each positive rotation channel from top to bottom, while the second driving end is inserted into the corresponding reverse rotation channel and slides along the extending direction of the reverse rotation channel. Then, the second resetting member 16 pushes the push-feed sub-drill rod 12 upward to reset. During the upward movement of the push-feed sub-drill rod 12, the first driving end is inserted into the corresponding positive rotation channel and slides along the extending direction of the positive rotation channel, while the second driving end is sequentially inserted into and then withdrawn from each reverse rotation channel from bottom to top. Thus, the rotary sub-drill rod 13 is rotated by a preset angle in a preset direction, then stops rotating, and then the processes of rotation and stop are repeated to achieve the step-by-step movement of the rotary sub-drill rod 13.
[0069] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the push-feed sub-drill rod 12 includes a piston head 121. The piston head 121 is in close fit with the reduced-diameter cylinder section of the drill barrel 11, and the drill barrel 11 has an enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121. The inner diameter of the enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121 is larger than that of the reduced-diameter cylinder section, and the enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121 has an oil drain port 11211; it also includes a resetting member 16. The first end of the resetting member 16 is installed on the drill barrel 11, and the second end of the resetting member 16 abuts against the rotary sub-drill rod 13 to push the rotary sub-drill rod 13 to reset when the piston head 121 moves into the enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121 and loses pressure.
[0070] Specifically, the piston head 121 of the push-feed sub-drill rod 12 is in close fit with the inner wall of the top cylinder section of the drill barrel 11, and the drill barrel 11 has an enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121. The inner diameter of the enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121 is larger than that of the top cylinder section of the drill barrel 11. When the piston head 121 slides into the enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121, there is a gap between the piston head 121 and the inner wall of the enlarged-diameter cylinder section 1121, that is, the piston head 121 loses the sealing effect, so the piston head 121 loses the thrust, and then the resetting member 16 will make the push-feed sub-drill rod 12 slide upward to reset.
[0071] It should be noted that the type of the reset member 16 is not limited as long as the above functions can be achieved. For example, in some specific embodiments, the reset member 16 can be a spring sleeved outside the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12, with one end of the spring abutted against the drill barrel 11 and the other end abutted against the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12. Or, in some specific embodiments, the reset member 16 can include two like-pole magnets, one magnetic pole fixed at a preset position of the drill barrel 11 and the other fixed to the piston head 121.
[0072] During use, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 the orientations shown, during the process that the mud pushes the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 to move downward, the cavity formed by enclosing the upper end surface of the piston head 121 and the reduced-diameter barrel section will also be filled with mud. After the piston head 121 of the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 moves downward until the whole piston head 121 enters the expanded-diameter barrel section 1121, the mud in the cavity formed by enclosing the upper end surface of the piston head 121 and the reduced-diameter barrel section will flow through the gap between the piston head 121 and the drill barrel 11 and flow into the annulus from the oil drain port 11211, so that the throttling pressure disappears. The reset member 16 pushes the piston head 121, causing the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 to move upward. The movement of the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 will drive the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15 to rotate a preset angle in the direction opposite to the preset direction. However, since the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15 is restricted from rotating in the direction opposite to the preset direction; when the piston head 121 of the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 moves upward and retracts into the reduced-diameter barrel section, the drilling mud is sealed inside the compound drilling drive joint 1 again, that is, the cavity formed by enclosing the upper end surface of the piston head 121 and the reduced-diameter barrel section will block the mud, and a throttling pressure will be generated again through the throttle 14. When the throttling pressure is greater than the thrust of the reset member 16, the throttling pressure will push the piston head 121 downward again to repeat the steps of pushing the drill bit 3 to rotate and resetting the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12. Furthermore, the compound drilling drive joint 1 can drive the drill bit 3 to form a compound drilling function of rotating at a low speed, step by step, and in the preset direction through the downhole motor 2, so that the downhole drill string realizes double rotation, achieving the purpose of coiled tubing drilling compound drilling.
[0073] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, on the basis of the above embodiments, the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15 is a cylindrical structure; the first end of the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 close to the rotating sub-drill pipe 13 is inserted into the first end of the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15, and the first end of the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 is in spiral linear fit with the first end of the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15; the first end of the rotating sub-drill pipe 13 close to the flat-thrust sub-drill pipe 12 is inserted into the second end of the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15, and the first end of the rotating sub-drill pipe 13 is in one-way ratchet fit with the second end of the sub-drill pipe connecting member 15.
[0074] Specifically, the split drill pipe connector 15 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the upper end of the split drill pipe connector 15 has internal threads. Correspondingly, the lower end of the push drill pipe 12 has external threads and is inserted into the inside of the upper end of the split drill pipe connector 15 to be in spiral linear fit with the upper end of the split drill pipe connector 15. The inner wall of the lower end of the split drill pipe connector 15 is provided with rotatable pawls. The outer wall of the upper end of the rotary drill pipe 13 has ratchet teeth. The rotary drill pipe 13 is inserted into the inside of the lower end of the split drill pipe connector 15 to be in one-way ratchet fit with the lower end of the split drill pipe connector 15.
[0075] During use, the downward movement of the push drill pipe 12 can drive the split drill pipe connector 15 to rotate a preset angle in the preset direction, and the split drill pipe connector 15 drives the rotary drill pipe 13 to rotate in the preset direction. On the contrary, when the push drill pipe 12 moves upward, it will drive the split drill pipe connector 15 to rotate a preset angle in the direction opposite to the preset direction. Since the rotary drill pipe 13 is in one-way ratchet fit with the split drill pipe connector 15, the split drill pipe connector 15 and the rotary drill pipe 13 are fixed.
[0076] In summary, the composite drilling drive joint 1 can withstand reverse torque, will not rotate counterclockwise, can ensure that the drilling string will not become loose, and does not require electronic control or other complex control means, with simple operation, low cost, and high reliability.
[0077] To restrict the rotary drill pipe 13, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 9 On the basis of the above embodiments, a one-way bearing 17 is sleeved inside the drill barrel 11, and the rotary drill pipe 13 is inserted into the inner hole of the one-way bearing 17 to restrict the rotary drill pipe 13 from rotating in the preset direction.
[0078] Specifically, a one-way bearing 17 is sleeved inside the drill barrel 11, and the rotary drill pipe 13 is inserted into the inside of the one-way bearing 17. The one-way bearing 17 can adopt a needle roller one-way bearing 17, a ball one-way bearing 17, etc., so as to be able to restrict the rotary drill pipe 13 from rotating only in the preset direction through the one-way bearing 17 and not in the direction opposite to the preset direction, and can more stably support the rotary drill pipe 13 to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotary drill pipe 13.
[0079] In some specific embodiments, the rotary drill pipe 13 can only rotate in the clockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 and cannot rotate counterclockwise relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , and cannot move axially along the drill barrel 11.
[0080] In some specific embodiments, the rotary sub-drill rod 13 can only rotate in the counterclockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , and cannot rotate in the clockwise direction relative to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , nor can it move axially along the drill barrel 11.
[0081] It should be noted that the number of one-way bearings 17 is not limited, as long as the support and restraint functions can be achieved. Preferably, a number of one-way bearings 17 are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the drill barrel 11.
[0082] To restrain the flat-thrust sub-drill rod 12 from rotating, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , on the basis of the above embodiments, the flat-thrust sub-drill rod 12 includes a piston rod 122, and the drill barrel 11 includes a first piston outer cylinder 111.

At this time, the piston rod 122 and the first piston outer cylinder 111 are polygonally matched, so that the piston rod 122 can only move axially along the drill barrel 11 and cannot rotate.
[0085] To improve the stability of the rotary sub-drill rod 13, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , on the basis of the above embodiments, a thrust bearing 18 is further included.
