[0002] Azimuth resistivity while drilling (LWD) is a new wireless logging tool that measures the distance and azimuth of reservoir boundaries. After LWD maintenance, it requires edge detection data testing to ensure accuracy. Currently, testing edge detection data after LWD maintenance relies primarily on marine surveying technology, using a combination of seawater and air as the probes. Because the tool cannot rotate, this results in biased edge detection data. To obtain comprehensive data, multiple tests are required, increasing testing costs and prolonging the testing cycle. Furthermore, the effectiveness of marine surveying technology is affected by weather and the operating environment, further increasing operational uncertainty and complexity.

[0003] The existing marine surveying technology used for azimuthal resistivity edge direction data detection has technical problems such as increased costs and extended cycles due to high test environment requirements and one-sidedness of single test results. Utility Model Content

[0013] Specifically, the rolling unit includes a rotating frame and a rolling element. The rotating frame is mounted on the rolling support. The rolling element is rotatably connected to the rotating frame and connected to the azimuth resistivity. The rolling element rotates with the azimuth resistivity.

[0032] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0035] Existing testing devices have technical problems such as increased costs and extended cycles due to high testing environment requirements and one-sidedness of single test results.

[0036] In view of this, the present invention provides an azimuthal resistivity rotation testing device, comprising:

[0037] Support mechanism 100, transmission mechanism 200, drive mechanism 300, and test baffle 400. Azimuth resistivity 001 is mounted on support mechanism 100. One end is connected to drive mechanism 300 via transmission mechanism 200 for power, and the other end is electrically connected to the test host via a slip ring. Drive mechanism 300 is used to rotate azimuth resistivity 001 around its axis. Test baffle 400 is made of a material with a resistivity lower than that of air and is positioned above azimuth resistivity 001.

[0038] Based on the above technical solutions, the testing device provided by the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0039] This testing device uses a test baffle 400 and air as the detection object combination. The drive mechanism 300 rotates the azimuthal resistivity 001 to simulate a complete working state, eliminating the biased nature of test results. Independent of specific test environments, it provides quick and intuitive data results, saving time and money. This overcomes the technical issues of existing testing devices, which often suffer from high test environment requirements and the biased nature of single test results, leading to increased costs and extended test cycles.

[0040] The following combination Figures 1 to 2 The structure and shape of the test device provided in this embodiment are described in detail:

[0041] In the solution of this embodiment, the material of the test baffle 400 can be set to aluminum, iron or nickel, etc., which has a lower resistivity than air and can be used in combination with air as a detection object, avoiding the problem of using seawater and air as a detection object combination in existing marine measurement technology and being affected by the environment and weather.

[0042] In the solution of this embodiment, the driving mechanism 300 is configured as a variable frequency motor, which is convenient for adjusting the rotation speed to simulate the working state of the azimuthal resistivity 001 when the drill bit is lowered into the well, thereby eliminating the one-sidedness of the detection result.

[0043] In the solution of this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 200 is configured as a coupling, one end of the coupling is connected to the output shaft of the variable frequency motor, and the other end is connected to the end of the azimuth resistivity 001 to transmit the power of the variable frequency motor to the azimuth resistivity 001. Among them, the coupling uses a universal joint coupling to reduce the axis alignment requirements of the variable frequency motor and the azimuth resistivity 001, thereby simplifying the test operation process.

[0044] In the solution of this embodiment, the support mechanism 100 includes two rolling assemblies 110. The two rolling assemblies 110 are respectively connected to the two ends of the azimuthal resistivity 001 to form a double cantilever beam support for the azimuthal resistivity 001.

[0045] Regarding the structural composition of the rolling assembly 110, specifically:

[0046] Rolling assembly 110 includes a rolling support 111, a rolling unit 112, and a brake caster. Rolling unit 112 includes a rotating frame 1121 and a rolling element 1122. Rotating frame 1121 is mounted on rolling support 111, while rolling element 1122 is rotatably connected to rotating frame 1121 and connected to the azimuth resistivity 001. Rolling element 1122 rotates with the azimuth resistivity 001. The brake caster is mounted at the bottom of rolling support 111 and rolls on the ground. The brake caster can switch between a rolling state and a braking state.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment of this embodiment, rolling elements 1122 are configured as two sets of rollers. The axes of both sets of rollers are arranged in the same horizontal plane and parallel to the axis of the azimuth resistivity 001. Both sets of rollers are rotatably connected to the rolling support 111 and abut against the azimuth resistivity 001. The rollers rotate with the azimuth resistivity 001, reducing the frictional resistance of the azimuth resistivity 001 and providing support for the azimuth resistivity 001.

[0048] Among them, the roller can be set to nylon material to provide stable support for the azimuth resistivity 001 without damaging the outer wall of the azimuth resistivity 001.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment of this embodiment, rolling element 1122 is configured as a bearing, which is mounted on and rotatably connected to rotating frame 1121. Azimuth resistivity 001 is inserted into the bearing, which rotates with the azimuth resistivity 001, reducing frictional resistance of the azimuth resistivity 001 and providing support for the azimuth resistivity 001.

[0050] In summary, the specific working process of the testing device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] For example, the rolling element 1122 is a roller, and the test baffle 400 is made of aluminum metal.

[0052] S10: Push the brake caster to adjust the relative position of the two rolling assemblies 110, switching the brake caster to the braking state. Place the two ends of the repaired azimuth resistivity 001 on the rollers of rolling assembly 110, with the two sets of rollers abutting against the azimuth resistivity 001. Connect one end of the azimuth resistivity 001 to the variable frequency motor via a coupling, and the other end to the test host via a slip ring and connecting cable for real-time data transmission. The data is then transmitted to the RT Processing test software.

[0053] S20: Start the variable frequency motor to drive the azimuth resistivity 001 to rotate at a constant speed along its own axis. Adjust the output speed of the variable frequency motor to the operating speed that meets the azimuth resistivity 001. The operator lifts the aluminum metal baffle above the azimuth resistivity 001. The resistivity data of the aluminum metal baffle and the air measured by the azimuth resistivity 001 is transmitted to the test software RTProcessing. After data analysis, the position of the aluminum metal baffle is calculated. The operator observes the results displayed by the test host in real time to ensure that they are consistent with the actual situation.

[0054] S30: The operator repeatedly changes the position of the aluminum metal baffle and observes in real time whether the result changes displayed by the test host are consistent with the actual situation.

[0055] S40: Summarize the results of multiple experimental data and finally determine the correctness of the edge detection direction data after the azimuth resistivity 001 maintenance.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
