[0029] A front cover plate 15 is inserted on the outer annular surface of the main body 1 of the drilling electrical imaging system and is located between the sensor hatch 2 and the rear section of the body;
[0030] Specifically, electrical imaging logging generally consists of the following instruments: downhole integrated resistivity measuring instrument, data acquisition device, wellhead data processing and control instrument, data storage and imaging software.
[0031] The principle of electrical imaging logging is mainly based on the principle of resistivity measurement. By arranging electrodes in the wellbore, the conductivity is quantified through the resistivity sensor, and an imaging model is established based on this, and the conductivity of the inner wall of the wellbore is imaged through software.
[0032] Electrical imaging logging technology mainly includes two links: data acquisition and data processing. Data acquisition mainly collects the resistivity structure information of the inner wall of the wellbore, and data processing mainly processes the collected resistivity information of the inner wall of the wellbore into imaging data to provide information such as the horizontal position and resistivity distribution of various resistivity compounds.
[0033] Specific:
[0034] 1. When assembling the high-pressure needle sealing plug, pay attention to the protection of the sealing ring. After inserting it into the sealing hole, pull it out and check whether the sealing ring is damaged; so as not to affect the seal and damage the instrument.
[0035] 2. The resistivity sensor needs special protection. The sensor is an integrated component. If it is damaged, it must be replaced as a whole, which is expensive.
[0036] 3. When assembling or disassembling the instrument, the instrument must be fixed before operation to prevent it from falling and injuring the operator or damaging the instrument.
[0037] Example 3: The following are some processing details of the device:
[0038] 1. First, the diameter of the drill collar is relatively small, and the circumference of the gun drill is densely distributed, so the measurements interfere with each other, which affects the measurement of the hole position. On the other hand, the workpiece is long, and the gun drill hole requires a middle docking, and the position accuracy is strictly required, which increases the difficulty of hole correction.
[0039] 2. In the structure at a certain cross-section, the distance between the M4 threaded hole and the longitudinal gun drill hole is very close, about 2.8mm. The two holes are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal hole, which is 1207.5mm away from the inlet end of the gun drill hole. The straightness requirement of the gun drill hole is very high. The hole position needs to be accurately measured and corrected during processing. If the error is slightly larger, it will be tangent to the M4 hole. The processing here is very difficult.
[0040] 3. In the partial view Figure 7 In the figure, the distance between the 2-M4 threaded hole and the gun drill hole is about 2mm, and the wall thickness is about 2mm. The two holes are arranged on both sides of the gun drill hole with a distance of 55mm. This place is about 1200mm away from the entrance of the gun drill hole. The straightness requirement of the gun drill hole is very high. The hole position needs to be accurately measured and corrected during processing. If the error is slightly larger, it will intersect with the M4 hole, resulting in scrapping of the workpiece.
[0041] 4. In the circuit slot, partial view Figure 5 In the figure, the distance between the 2-M3 threaded hole and the gun drill hole is about 3mm, and the wall thickness is about 3mm. The two groups of holes are arranged on both sides of the gun drill hole, which is nearly 350mm away from the entrance of the gun drill hole. The straightness of the gun drill hole is required to be high. The hole position needs to be accurately measured and corrected during processing. If the error is slightly larger, it will intersect with the M3 hole.
[0042] 5. Figure 6 As shown, the sealing surface of the single-core seal and the wall thickness of the gun-drilled hole are 3.6mm. This place is more than 2 meters away from the inlet end of the gun-drilled hole. The requirements for the up and down offset of the gun-drilled hole are very strict. If the offset is too large, the wall thickness of the gun-drilled hole and the sealing hole will become thinner or connected, and the pressure resistance strength will not be achieved, which will cause great damage to the instrument. The straightness of the gun-drilled hole is very high.
[0043] 6. In the radially distributed cover plate groove, there are very high requirements for the position of the gun drilled holes, allowing ±1.5mm. When processing here, it is necessary to offset the direction of the gun drilled holes to ensure that the pressure-bearing thickness of the cover plate groove is greater than the theoretical required thickness, enhance the compressive strength, and ensure safe use. Embodiment 4:
[0044] Since there are ultra-deep stepped sealing holes with small angles in the substrate of the EMD, the traditional milling machine has insufficient processing stroke and needs to use an extended tool. However, the tool will vibrate during processing due to insufficient rigidity, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, making the processing difficult. We then used gun drilling to process its structure to solve the problem of small-angle inclined holes. Gun drilling requires auxiliary tooling to facilitate the guidance of the gun drill bit and determine the processing benchmark. It has a simple structure and is easy to use.
[0045] like Figure 8-10 As shown, Figure 8 This is the overall assembly drawing of the auxiliary tooling. Fig. 9 The upper and lower dies are separated and installed at the positions of the drill collar where the inclined holes need to be processed. The position of the dies is fixed by the limit pins on the drill collar. The upper and lower dies are connected together with cylindrical head hexagon socket screws. Finally, the gun drill straightening sleeve ( Fig.10 ) is installed into the hole of the upper die, and then the inclined hole can be processed.
[0046] Specific processing steps:
[0047] 1. Tire positioning benchmark
[0048] 2. Process the φ11 hole and leave a margin for reaming
[0049] 3. Use the φ11 rough processing hole for positioning and process the φ3.97 hole
[0050] 4. Use φ11 rough processing hole to locate and process the thread bottom hole
[0051] 5. Use φ11 rough-machined hole for positioning and rough-machined φ5.88 hole
[0052] 6. Remove the mold and finely ream φ11
[0053] 7. Use precision-reaming of the φ11 hole positioning sleeve and precision-reaming of the φ5.88 hole.
