The present application relates to the technical field of drilling
pipe external windowing, and provides a
pipe external windowing jetting tool and method, the
pipe external windowing jetting tool comprising: a main housing, a
powder storage cavity is arranged in the main housing, and the main housing can be connected to a
drill pipe; a
thermite is arranged in the accommodating space; an igniter is arranged in the main housing and can ignite the
thermite; a pressure balancing mechanism can balance the
powder storage cavity and
external pressure before the
thermite is ignited; and a jetting
assembly is communicated with the
powder storage cavity and can jet reaction products of the thermite reaction to the outside of the main housing to melt through a target object. Through the above technical solution, a large amount of heat generated by the thermite reaction is used to heat the reaction products to a
molten state, the jetting
assembly jets the reaction products in the
molten state to the target object, the target object is melted through, the windowing operation is quickly completed, and the pressure balancing mechanism can balance the internal and external pressures to avoid insufficient
internal pressure, and the tool can be applied to cementing repair.
