Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and in particular to a flow velocity compensation device for a variable diameter trumpet tube, etc. Background Technology
[0002] In drilling operations, the variable diameter bell-shaped tube connects the rotary table and overhead duct at the top and the blowout preventer (BOP) assembly at the bottom, playing a crucial role in establishing circulation channels and guiding the drill string. The variable diameter bell-shaped tube consists of a large-diameter bell-shaped tube, a variable-diameter bell-shaped tube, and a small-diameter bell-shaped tube connected sequentially from top to bottom. The diameter of the variable-diameter bell-shaped tube decreases sequentially from top to bottom. The diameter of the upper end of the variable-diameter bell-shaped tube is equal to the diameter of the large-diameter bell-shaped tube; the diameter of the lower end of the variable-diameter bell-shaped tube is equal to the diameter of the small-diameter bell-shaped tube. However, due to its inherent structural limitations, the large-diameter and small-diameter bell-shaped pipes of the variable-diameter bell-shaped pipe have significantly different inner diameters. This results in the drilling fluid carrying cuttings flowing through the large-diameter bell-shaped pipe having a much lower flow velocity than the small-diameter bell-shaped pipe. When the drilling fluid reaches the large-diameter bell-shaped pipe, the flow velocity suddenly slows down, the cuttings-carrying capacity decreases rapidly, and the cuttings cannot be returned to the return outlet in time, thus accumulating continuously in the large-diameter bell-shaped pipe. In severe cases, this can lead to complex situations such as lost circulation and stuck pipe, posing a great risk to the safe implementation of drilling operations.
[0003] Therefore, a flow velocity compensation device such as a variable diameter horn tube becomes the key to solving the problem. Utility Model Content
