Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a movable under-reamer for oil, natural gas and geological drilling, which is particularly suitable for reducing downhole friction and torque in vertical wells, horizontal wells and extended reach directional wells. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous deepening of oil and gas exploration and development, the drilling workload of deep wells, ultra-deep wells and extended reach wells is increasing day by day. There are problems such as cuttings accumulation, irregular wellbore and rough wellbore wall in the drilling of complex wellbores. This problem increases the downhole friction, making downhole tools prone to wear and scrapping during use. Moreover, cuttings accumulation, irregular wellbore and rough wellbore wall will also lead to low drill pressure transmission efficiency and drag pressure phenomenon, affecting the improvement of drilling speed and efficiency. This problem has always been one of the main problems restricting the improvement of drilling speed and efficiency and safe production in complex well drilling.

[0003] In recent years, domestic and foreign attention to this problem has been increasing day by day. In-depth research has been carried out both theoretically and experimentally, and a series of friction and torque reduction tools and wellbore trimming tools have been proposed. However, at present, related products at home and abroad have the problem of single functions of friction and torque reduction and wellbore trimming. The simultaneous use of these two types of tools will lead to a complex drill string assembly.

[0004] To solve the problem that existing tools have single functions and cannot simultaneously meet the functions of friction and torque reduction and wellbore trimming, on the basis of existing research, this patent proposes a rotary drag reduction layer workover friction and torque reduction tool, which can reduce friction and torque and trim the wellbore during the drilling process, reduce the loss of drill string power transmission, and achieve the improvement of drilling efficiency.

[0007] The workover friction and torque reduction sleeve includes an integral workover friction and torque reduction sleeve and a split workover friction and torque reduction sleeve.

[0008] One side of the split workover friction and torque reduction sleeve is connected by a hinge, and the other side is connected by a screw.
