Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of measurement while drilling, in particular to a drill collar type electromagnetic wave transmission wireless measurement while drilling downhole tool. Background Art

[0002] In the field of drilling and development in the oil industry, the electromagnetic wave measurement while drilling system and the mud pulse measurement system are currently the main ones. Their disadvantages are as follows: First, the operation is complicated and time-consuming. The downhole tools of the two systems are basically composed of multiple short sections, such as battery short sections, directional short sections, signal drive short sections (pulser or electromagnetic wave transmitter), fishing short sections, fixed short sections (seat key or suspension), etc. During construction, each short section needs to be connected in series, and then the tool needs to be hoisted to the wellhead with a starter and other equipment after the drilling tool is connected. Place it inside the drill tool; second, the applicability is insufficient. The downhole tools of the two systems are cylindrical in form with an outer diameter of less than 48mm. During construction, they are independent of the drilling tool and need to be placed inside the hollow part of the drill tool. On the one hand, this reduces the internal hollow area of ​​the drill tool and on the other hand, it causes the circulating fluid flow path to become irregular. This makes downhole tools more susceptible to erosion. At the same time, when used in large-volume, high-speed, and high-sand environments, the tool life is shortened and the cost of use increases. Third, the technology is difficult to implement. The mud pulse measurement while drilling system uses the drilling circulating fluid medium to complete data transmission, and changes the size of the empty circulating fluid flow channel in the drill bit to achieve pressure fluctuations for signal modulation. Therefore, there is a conflict between the transmission method and high-erosion resistance of this system, and it is impossible to achieve a state where one of the factors approaches zero. The difficulty and cost of technical implementation will be too great. The electromagnetic wave measurement while drilling system uses an electrically excited signal transmission method that is not related to the drilling circulating fluid. The difficulty in technical implementation of achieving performance such as high-erosion resistance in a large-volume and high-speed environment is not restricted by this aspect.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN206158732U discloses a near-bit drill tool attitude measurement while drilling device, which includes a measurement sensor and a measurement circuit. The measurement sensor transmits a measurement signal to the measurement circuit, which processes and calculates the signal to obtain attitude data; the measurement sensor includes a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis magnetic sensor and a temperature sensor; the measurement circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a memory, a processor and a low-pass filter; the processor includes an attitude angle calculation module, a quaternion initialization module and a quaternion update module.

[0004] Chinese patent document publication number CN109268001A discloses a device and method for detecting the rotation angle of a horizontal principal ground stress direction while drilling measurement. The device comprises a combined while drilling measurement tool, including: a while drilling measurement tool A, a while drilling measurement tool B, and a non-magnetic drill collar; the while drilling measurement tool B obtains measurement data based on a magnetic sensor and an accelerometer, and the while drilling measurement tool B is installed in the middle of the non-magnetic drill collar; the while drilling measurement tool A includes a gyroscope; the while drilling measurement tool A is arranged in front of the while drilling measurement tool B, and the while drilling measurement tool A is connected to the drill bit.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN118958955A discloses a measurement while drilling pup joint, which includes a pup joint body, a casing and electronic components. A first mounting groove is formed on the outer wall of the pup joint body, and the first mounting groove can accommodate the electronic components. The casing is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the pup joint body, and the casing can cover the first mounting groove. The inner side walls of the two ends of the casing are sealed with the outer wall of the pup joint body.

[0006] With the demand for refined operations and improved drilling efficiency in drilling projects, drilling technology requires the realization of trajectory measurement and trace-keeping without blind spots. In the initial stage of drilling construction (vertical well section), the trajectory must be accurately monitored and finely controlled without reducing drilling efficiency. The initial stage of construction (vertical well section) is characterized by a large displacement, high speed, strong erosion, and high sand content. This puts forward higher technical requirements for the supporting downhole measurement tools in terms of high vibration resistance, high impact resistance, high erosion resistance and high performance.

[0007] At present, most of the downhole measurement while drilling tools are mainly developed for small displacement, conventional speed, low sand content and other environments in the mid-term operation stage of construction. When applied to the initial stage of construction, the tools are overloaded under the exceeding capacity, resulting in high tool failure rate, high maintenance frequency, high consumption cost and other problems. At the same time, during the construction process, the downhole drill bit and the downhole measurement while drilling tool are independent of each other and cooperate to realize trajectory monitoring and control. The downhole measurement while drilling tool is placed in the hollow internal cavity of the downhole drill bit, which further reduces the flow area and aggravates the erosion effect.

This can save at least one hour of time. At the same time, in terms of transportation and flushing, it is the same as conventional drilling tools and does not require detailed maintenance.

[0050] Second, it has strong applicability. The drill collar type electromagnetic wave transmission wireless measurement while drilling downhole tool has a smooth surface streamlined and same-diameter design both inside and outside. It can fully adapt to the construction environment of 100 liters / second large displacement and 110 rpm high speed. It also has stronger anti-erosion and anti-vibration capabilities, which reduces the operating cost of the tool, reduces the maintenance frequency, increases the tool life, saves spare parts consumption, and can adapt to the construction of any well section of a project, and can adapt to the leakage well condition of drilling and plugging at the same time and the underbalanced drilling well condition, greatly improving drilling efficiency.

[0051] Third, the transmission rate is high, with the maximum transmission rate reaching 6.25bps.

[0052] The above technical features respectively constitute the embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.

[0053] The method of using the best embodiment of the drill collar type electromagnetic wave transmission wireless measurement while drilling downhole tool of the present invention is as follows: Step 1: The drill collar type electromagnetic wave transmission wireless measurement while drilling downhole tool is installed on the drilling tool, and then lowered into the well and moves along with the drilling tool; Step 2: The X accelerometer, the Y accelerometer, and the Z accelerometer collect the three-coordinate component vectors of the earth's gravity field; Step 3: The X magnetic sensor, the Y magnetic sensor, and the Z magnetic sensor collect the three-coordinate component vectors of the earth's magnetic field; Step 4: The filtering circuit and the A / D conversion circuit sequentially filter and perform A / D conversion on the three-coordinate component vector data of the earth's gravity field and the three-coordinate component vector data of the earth's magnetic field; Step 5: The core processing unit performs secondary filtering based on the processed data, and then calculates the corresponding measurement parameters such as well inclination, azimuth, and tool face angle; Step 6: The vibration detection circuit detects the static state and the motion state of the nested body 2; Step 7: The measured parameters such as the well inclination angle, azimuth angle, and tool face angle in step 5 are transmitted to the digital modulation circuit through the serial communication unit and the communication main control circuit, and the static state and motion state of the nested body 2 in step 6 are output to the digital modulation circuit through the communication main control circuit as digital level signals; Step 8: The digital modulation circuit uses PWM modulation technology to modulate and encode the received data, and sends it to the ground in the form of electromagnetic waves through the insulating antenna 5; Step nine: After receiving the information, the ground equipment filters, decodes and displays it to obtain downhole data during the drilling process.

[0054] This method can be applied to environments with large displacement, high rotation speed, strong erosion, high sand content, etc., where drilling with anti-deflection drilling is fully used in vertical well sections. It can complete the measurement of major parameters such as well inclination, azimuth, tool face angle, etc., and realize measurement while drilling. The measured data is encoded and transmitted to the ground receiving end in the form of electromagnetic waves through the antenna. The ground receiving end equipment picks up the signal and performs filtering, collection and other processing, and then transmits it to the data processing software at high speed for data decoding, recovery and display functions. It can be applied to the tracking measurement of wellbore trajectories and geological information of vertical wells, directional wells, horizontal wells and other wells in drilling development, and performs real-time and accurate measurement and fine control of the drilling trajectory to achieve precise drilling.
