Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centralizers, in particular to a rigid spiral roller centralizer. Background Art
[0002] Rigid centralizers are critical tools in drilling operations. Their versatility makes them widely used in vertical, highly deviated, and horizontal wells, as well as in rotary casing running operations. Their primary function is to significantly reduce frictional resistance, ensuring casing centering and penetration deep into the wellbore, while also optimizing fluid flow and grouting conditions. Rigid centralizers can be configured with left-hand, right-hand, or straight bars to suit drilling requirements. They are easy to install and highly wear-resistant, and their working surfaces can be inlaid with hard materials for enhanced durability.
[0003] Chinese Patent Authorization Announcement No. CN202673180U discloses a rigid spiral roller centralizer. This solution utilizes a spiral, large-chamfered centralizer diameter to effectively promote mud swirl velocity. Chamfered and pointed ends of the centralizer diameter minimize mud flow resistance and casing running resistance. Wide-diameter guide grooves and rollers mounted on the centralizer diameter enhance wear resistance, reduce friction between the casing and the wellbore, and extend service life. Crafted entirely from alloy steel, this device offers high centralizing strength and cementing quality. Suitable for use in both directional and horizontal wells.
[0004] However, there are still the following defects in the specific implementation process: the centralizer is not easy to connect with the riser or extension pipe during use, which makes transportation and installation difficult.
[0005] Based on this, the utility model designs a rigid spiral roller centralizer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
