Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of drilling tools, in particular to a transverse hydraulic oscillator. BACKGROUND

[0002] For directional wells and horizontal wells, the problem of high friction is more prominent, which can cause the wellbore to bend and greatly reduce the ability of the drilling rig to drill to the maximum depth, and even have a negative impact on oil production. To solve this industry problem, hydraulic oscillators have emerged. Hydraulic oscillator is a device that uses hydraulic pulse to generate drill string oscillation. By converting the hydraulic energy of the drilling fluid into mechanical energy to generate oscillation of the drill string, the static friction between the drill string and the wellbore is reduced, and the drilling pressure transmission is improved. Foreign countries started early in the research and application of hydraulic oscillation drag reduction tools, and the technology has been quite mature, becoming a commonly used drilling drag reduction tool abroad. For example, in the development of Eagle Ford shale gas in the United States, the mechanical drilling speed of multiple wells increased by 20%-50% after applying the hydraulic oscillation drag reduction tool, and the drilling cycle was shortened by 10%-30%. In China, with the exploration and development of oil and gas resources to complex and deep formations, the demand for efficient drilling technology is increasingly urgent, and hydraulic oscillators have gradually been valued and applied.

[0003] With the exploration and development of oil and gas resources to deep and complex formations, the well trajectory becomes more complex, and the downhole working conditions become more severe. In actual operation, the drill string not only bears axial load, but also faces challenges of transverse and radial vibration caused by irregular well wall and formation heterogeneity. Although the axial structure of the hydraulic oscillator has achieved remarkable results in axial drag reduction, it is difficult to meet the demand for radial dynamic adjustment downhole. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transverse hydraulic oscillator. At the same time, it is also necessary to solve the stability of the driving part and the oscillation part during transverse oscillation, as well as the axial flow of water. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The device provides a transverse hydraulic oscillator, and the specific implementation is as follows:

[0005] The shell;

[0006] The driving part and the oscillation part are coaxially arranged inside the shell and are connected through a spline shaft;

[0007] The driving part includes a turbine shaft, and the turbine shaft is arranged with a plurality of turbine stators and turbine rotors in the axial direction. The liquid flowing through the turbine rotors drives the turbine shaft to rotate;

[0008] The oscillation part is composed of an eccentric shaft, and the shell is built-in with a plurality of mounting supports. The two ends of the eccentric shaft and the turbine shaft are rotatably connected to the mounting supports. The mounting supports are equidistantly provided with a plurality of through holes for axial flow of liquid along the circumferential direction. The axial flow of liquid simultaneously causes the turbine shaft to drive the eccentric shaft to oscillate transversely.

[0009] Based on the above technical scheme, by setting the eccentric shaft driven by the driving part, the eccentric shaft acts on the lower shell to produce lateral oscillation, which improves the lateral dynamic adjustment capability of the drill string, effectively suppresses the radial vibration caused by irregular well wall and formation heterogeneity; enhances the stability of the drilling tool, reduces the risk of collision and wear between the drill string and the well wall; at the same time, the hydraulic circulation path is optimized, the axial hydraulic efficient flow is guaranteed, and more reliable technical support is provided for deep complex formation drilling operation.

[0010] Preferably, the shell is a split structure, which is composed of a lower shell and an upper shell, and the connection is connected by a double male joint.

[0011] Preferably, the upper shell is axially connected with an upper joint, and the lower shell is axially connected with a lower joint.

[0012] Based on the above technical scheme, in view of the problems of large well depth difference and variable operation environment under deep complex well conditions, the traditional integrated hydraulic oscillator is difficult to flexibly adapt to different well depth requirements due to fixed size, and a split shell design is adopted, which realizes the rapid disassembly and free combination of the shell through the double male joint connection. This modular structure breaks through the size limitation of the traditional oscillator, and the operation personnel can flexibly adjust the shell splicing node according to the actual well depth and working condition requirements, so that the length of the oscillator can accurately match different drilling depths, and the adaptability of the equipment to complex well conditions is greatly improved.

[0013] Preferably, the turbine rotor is sleeved on the inside of the turbine stator, and the turbine stator is positioned in the upper shell by a nut.

[0014] The turbine rotor is provided with second blades in the circumferential direction, the turbine stator is provided with first blades in the circumferential direction, and the inclination directions of the second blades and the first blades are the same.

[0015] Based on the above technical scheme, when the high-pressure drilling fluid flows through the driving part, the strong fluid power acts on the turbine rotor to drive the turbine shaft to rotate at high speed. The rotating motion is converted into the oscillation power of the oscillator by the eccentric shaft; the second blades and the first blades adopt the same direction inclination layout, which effectively enhances the consistency of the fluid driving force, not only improves the rotation efficiency of the turbine rotor system, but also ensures the stability of the oscillation force output, so that the oscillator can still maintain high efficiency and reliable working state in complex downhole conditions.

[0016] Preferably, bearing sleeves are arranged between the two ends of the eccentric shaft and the mounting support, and a taper sleeve is arranged on the outside of the mounting support.

[0017] Preferably, bearing sleeves are arranged between the two ends of the turbine shaft and the mounting support, and a taper sleeve is arranged on the outside of the mounting support.

[0018] Based on the above technical scheme, the inner side caliber of the cone sleeve is larger than the outer side caliber, the cone sleeve can effectively position the installation position of the installation support, and simultaneously has the effect of converging flow on the water passing through the installation support.

[0019] Preferably, one end of the turbine shaft and one end of the eccentric shaft are provided with splines engaged with the spline shaft.

[0020] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. In the utility model, the eccentric shaft driven by the driving part acts on the lower shell to produce transverse oscillation, which improves the transverse dynamic adjustment capacity of the drill string and effectively suppresses the radial vibration caused by irregular well wall and non-homogeneous stratum.

[0022] 2. The utility model has a simple structure, the shell is provided in a split structure, and under the action of the double male joint, the shell can be disassembled and assembled at will, which improves the adaptability of the length of the oscillator to the well depth.

[0023] 3. The utility model is provided with a turbine rotor driven by water power, so that the turbine shaft rotates, and the oscillation force of the oscillator is converted, and the installation support improves the stability of the driving part and the oscillation part, and the through hole also enables the water power to flow stably.
