AI Technical Summary
Existing rigid casing stabilizers encounter significant resistance during casing installation when the well diameter is irregular, which can easily cause casing bending and damage, making it difficult to meet construction requirements.
A rigid casing stabilizer consisting of a central tube and a centralizing sleeve was designed. A balanced cutting mechanism is installed at the lower part of the centralizing sleeve. The main cutting block and the auxiliary cutting block cut at irregular points on the well wall. The rotation and spiral motion of the lifting sleeve adapt to changes in well diameter and reduce casing bending force.
This allows the casing to be smoothly lowered into the wellbore, protecting it from bending damage and improving the reliability and efficiency of the construction.
