Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil fields, and particularly relates to a screw drill for oil field exploitation. Background Art

[0002] Oil exploitation refers to the act of excavating and extracting oil in places where oil is stored. During the process of oil exploitation, the driving mode of oil and gas flowing from the reservoir into the bottom of the well and then rising from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. When conducting oil field exploitation operations, it is usually necessary to operate with a screw drill in cooperation with exploitation equipment, and the quality and effect of the use of the screw drill determine the exploitation efficiency.

[0003] Currently, when using exploitation drills, in many oil and gas wells in China, the exploitation has reached the later stage, with a low exploitation volume and a large exploitation difficulty. For the existing screw drills, the maximum single-bend angle can only reach 3°, and the maximum coaxial double-bend angle reaches 3 + 1.5°. They can no longer meet the exploitation requirements of extended-reach wells. Moreover, as the bend angle increases, the total length of the drill needs to be shortened - the inner diameter of the wellbore is fixed and cannot be enlarged. At the same time, with the increase of the bend angle, the risk of the drill being twisted off is greater. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the torque required for drilling. Therefore, a screw drill for oil field exploitation is proposed, which can not only meet the requirements of a large bend point in extended-reach wells, but also the articulated structure design effectively enhances the circumferential torsion force at the articulated part, and the total length of the drill is not shortened, ensuring the power required for the drill, thereby improving the use effect.

A steel ball is arranged at the bottom of the live hinge. A second ball pad is arranged around the steel ball. An upper lock nut is arranged on one side of the live hinge.
