Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of directional well construction, and particularly relates to an anti-disengagement structure for preventing a downhole directional instrument from disengaging during the drilling process of a horizontal and large well inclination directional well. Background Art

[0002] Horizontal branched wells for coal mine area governance have become an important technical means for coal mine area governance. Through several years of technical research and application practice, the drilling technology of horizontal branched wells for coal mine area governance has become increasingly mature, and good results have been achieved in the treatment of coal mine water disasters.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of directional drilling construction, ensuring the safety of instruments is also an issue that cannot be ignored during the directional construction process. Directional instruments are costly and relatively precise. During the ground installation and connection operation process, careful operation is required to avoid knocking the instrument and causing damage to the instrument.

[0004] For the downhole connection method of the directional instrument, a fish head is provided at the end of the instrument, and the instrument fish head is connected by a fishing head and sent into the non-magnetic drill collar. The anti-disengagement top rod is designed according to the connection method of the fishing head and the instrument fish head. Due to factors such as the scope of the treatment working face, the complex geological structure of the coal measure strata, the large fluctuation of the formation dip angle, and the construction position of the surface drilling equipment, it will have a great impact on the design of the downhole horizontal branched hole. Often, there will be a horizontal branched hole greater than 90° or a branched hole with an entire section of uphill trajectory in the treatment horizon. During the drilling process, if the downhole drill string is lifted or lowered too quickly and encounters resistance, the instrument and the fixed keyway will be disengaged, which is likely to cause the directional instrument to malfunction downhole or damage the instrument. The design of the anti-disengagement top rod increases the operation safety and prevents the problem of the instrument disengaging due to the too-fast lowering of the drill string. If a stuck drill or buried drill accident occurs in the hole, the fish head at the top of the anti-disengagement rod is set the same as the instrument fish head, which does not affect fishing the directional instrument in the drill string. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an anti-disengagement structure for preventing a downhole directional instrument from disengaging during the drilling process of a horizontal and large well inclination directional well.

[0018] The ejector rod fish head passes through the receiving space, and the ejector rod fish head pin is located in the receiving space.

[0019] Preferably, the side wall inclination angles of the male thread convex block and the female thread groove are the same.

[0020] Preferably, both the male thread convex block and the female thread groove are frustum - of - cone shapes that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

In this case, the directional instrument needs to be reinstalled after pulling out the drill string. The anti-disengagement top rod is easy to install and does not affect the normal use of the instrument.

[0064] To better illustrate the technical effects of the present invention, the present invention provides the following specific embodiments to illustrate the above technical processes:

[0065] Embodiment 1,

[0066] The present invention provides an anti-disengagement structure for preventing a directional instrument from becoming disengaged during horizontal and high-angle directional well drilling of a downhole directional instrument, including a non-magnetic drill collar 1, an anti-disengagement top rod, a directional instrument, and a fishing rod 4.

[0067] The usage method of the anti-disengagement structure of the present invention:

[0068] Lower the directional instrument into the drill string through the positioning key groove 33 using the fishing rod 4, and then remove the fishing rod 4.

[0069] Lower the anti-disengagement top rod. The top rod cylinder 22 at the lower part of the anti-disengagement top rod is sleeved with the directional instrument fish head 31 of the directional instrument and supported by the directional instrument fish head pin;

[0070] When manufacturing the anti-disconnection lifting rod, measure the distance from the directional fish head pin 32 to the bottom of the female thread groove 121 at the end of the female thread of the female thread end 12. The measured distance position is the position of the lifting rod fish head pin 23;

[0071] Insert the lifting rod fish head pin 23 (such as 8# iron wire) into the fish head part 21 of the lifting rod of the anti-disconnection lifting rod. After the anti-disconnection lifting rod is in place, connect the upper drill pipe. The bottom end of the male thread convex block 111 at the male thread end 11 of the drill pipe presses the lifting rod fish head pin 23, thereby playing an anti-disconnection role.

[0072] Example 1: In a regional governance project of a certain mine, during the directional drilling construction of the branch hole, the drilling depth is 1600 meters, and the well deviation angle of the drilling trajectory is 105 degrees. After the drill pipe adding operation is completed, the directional instrument fails to work properly. After pulling out the drill string for inspection, it is found that the directional instrument is out of key. After installing the anti-disconnection lifting rod on the upper part of the directional instrument, there is no out-of-key phenomenon. It takes 6-7 hours for the drill string to be pulled out and run in after the directional instrument is out of key. After installing the anti-disconnection lifting rod, it can prevent the instrument from being out of key, avoid unnecessary pulling out and running in of the drill string, and thus improve the construction progress.

[0073] As mentioned above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any change or replacement within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
