Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil drilling equipment communications, and in particular to a pressure-bearing sealing connection device for an intelligent drill pipe communication cable. Background Art

[0002] As the most important fossil energy, oil occupies an important position in the world's energy consumption structure and is an essential material to support industry, economy and daily life. Among them, the exploration and exploitation of oil resources is particularly important.

[0003] During the oil exploration and production process, operators often find it difficult to accurately obtain the status of downhole drill tools and geological information, making it impossible to effectively control and adjust the drilling process, which may lead to damage to the drill tools or position deviations. The smart drill pipe is a downhole tool that integrates sensing, communication, and control functions. Through real-time data acquisition and analysis, it realizes the digitization, automation, and intelligence of the drilling process, and can transmit downhole information at high speed. The core of the smart drill pipe lies in the two-way information communication between the wellbore and the wellbore. Among them, magnetic coupling communication transmission is a high-speed communication method for smart drill pipe systems. The information transmission between the drill pipes is realized through the electromagnetic coupling effect of the magnetic coupler between the drill pipe joints. The magnetic coupler at one end of the drill pipe joint is connected to the magnetic coupler at the other end of the drill pipe joint by a communication line for signal transmission. The sealed connection of the communication line is particularly important to avoid the penetration and erosion of high-pressure and high-temperature drilling fluids.
