Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of drilling equipment, and in particular relates to a pressure-resistant structure for a non-magnetic drill collar. Background Art
[0002] In the process of geological exploration, drill collars, as key components connecting drill bits and drill pipes, need to withstand huge pressure and friction from the formation. Especially in some specific drilling environments, such as magnetic measurement operations, the performance requirements of drill collars are more stringent. Non-magnetic drill collars are widely used in the protection of magnetic measurement instruments due to their special non-magnetic characteristics to ensure the accuracy of measurement data.
[0003] The original intention of the design of non-magnetic drill collars is to avoid the influence of magnetic interference on the accuracy of measurement results during the drilling process. Its non-magnetic characteristics enable magnetic measuring instruments to work normally during the drilling process, providing reliable data support for geological exploration. However, although non-magnetic drill collars have significant advantages in the field of magnetic measurement, they have certain shortcomings in terms of compressive resistance.
[0004] In drilling operations, drill collars, as key components connecting the drill bit and the drill pipe, are subjected to tremendous pressure and friction from the strata. Especially when encountering hard strata or complex geological conditions, such as hard rock, faults, karst, etc., this pressure and friction will increase exponentially, placing extremely high demands on the compression resistance of the drill collars. However, the currently widely used non-magnetic drill collars are still weak in terms of compression resistance. Due to the limitations of their design concepts and manufacturing processes, non-magnetic drill collars often experience performance degradation and shortened service life when facing complex and harsh drilling environments. This not only affects the efficiency and safety of drilling operations, but may also lead to the failure of drilling operations, causing huge economic losses to companies and individuals.
[0005] In order to solve this problem, the utility model provides a pressure-resistant structure for a non-magnetic drill collar, which can effectively improve the pressure resistance of the non-magnetic drill collar, extend its service life, and improve the efficiency and safety of drilling operations.
[0006] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Summary of the invention
