技术领域
本发明涉及钻探技术和油气开采领域,尤其是一种短半径钻井工具、可控轨迹侧向钻井工具及方法。
背景技术
开采成本的控制一直以来都是石油天然气钻探所追求的目标,随着非常规油气田的开发等对钻井装备的要求越来越高,自动化、智能化的高效钻井技术已成为降低成本,提高效率主流;此外,钻探技术在地质工程领域、矿产开发领域也有大量的应用。
本技术的应用背景在于,在既有的主井眼中任意位置以短-极短半径侧钻分支井,继而在与主井眼井轴不同的方向继续延伸分支井眼或在既有的井眼的末端通过短-极短半径造斜技术使井眼超向与主井的眼井轴不同的方向延伸;一般而言,短半径的范围是10~60米。本发明将米级范围定义为极短半径的尺度范围,可以理解为极短半径井的造斜段转弯半径小于10米。
目前采用连续油管传输弯接头螺杆马达可实现中短半径可控轨迹侧钻钻井,但定向方式为滑动导向,整个钻柱不作旋转运动,由钻井循环介质驱动螺杆带动钻头做旋转运动,并通过弯接头工具面角的变化来改变钻具的井斜和方位性能,存在定向作业期间钻具不旋转、无法完成短半径定向钻井作业等限制,井眼轨迹精度差;且由于连续油管具 有不可旋转、强度低等先天劣势,管柱容易破损和断裂,不适合承担高扭矩,所钻井眼直径过小,无法达到油气藏开发对油气井导流能力的基本需求,故几乎无法胜任短半径侧向钻井,在超短半径和极短半径侧向钻井的范畴内更无法工作。
另外一种可实现短-极短半径侧向钻井的方法是通过柔性钻杆驱动钻头钻进实现短-极短半径侧向钻井,即采用单节长度小于1.5米的短钻杆串联为柔性钻柱,短钻杆之间依靠球头和球碗传拉力,依靠在球头和球碗间设置的花键传递扭矩,通过所述柔性钻柱驱动底部的钻头旋转实现破岩;该方法可以依靠斜向器的造斜作用实现短-极短半径侧钻,然而进一步的井眼延伸过程中无法实现井眼轨迹控制并取得具有一定精度的井眼轨迹,井眼屈曲严重,阻碍钻头的钻进,且扭曲不可控的经验轨迹也难以达到现场需求。
另外,很多油气藏、或者需要流化开采的固体矿藏的开发需要大量用到钻井技术,甚至于水平井钻探技术。由于现有的定向钻井技术无法实现短半径转向,难于开发超薄储层;或在盖层中难于造斜但进入储层后又需要大曲率转向的定向井;或尽可能大限度的实现分支钻井;或在浅部地层实现大角度转弯,或通过在已有井眼中侧钻分支井以实现井旁储量的动用。现有技术中,通常采用带有弯接头的螺杆钻具钻分支井的方式实现井旁储量的动用。已有资料表明,现有的螺杆钻具定向钻井技术以及其他定向钻井技术无法超过15°/30米的造斜率。综上所述,井眼曲率太大,现有的可控轨迹的定向井技术无法实现;井眼曲率太小,导致造斜段太长,处于转弯状态的井段会产生大量的无效进尺,经济效益差且增加了施工井段的作业难度。
发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种短半径钻井工具、可控轨迹侧向钻井工具及方法,用于通过主井眼底部或任意其他位置侧向钻出的短-极短半径井段,使其继续向侧向钻进,以实现可控轨迹的延伸。
本发明的上述目的可采用下列技术方案来实现:
本发明提供一种可控轨迹侧向钻井工具,包括高通过性侧向钻井区段和钻井动力传递区段,所述高通过性侧向钻井区段能够通过自主井眼侧向延伸的短-极短半径井段实现所述短-极短半径井段的延伸井段的钻探,所述高通过性侧向钻井区段自前至后依次包括钻头、高通过性导向执行短节以及高通过性传动短节阵列;所述高通过性传动短节阵列由若干个用于承担扭矩的传动短节构成,所述传动短节能够为所述钻头传递旋转钻进的动力,且相邻的所述传动短节之间预设有偏转极限;所述高通过性传动短节阵列沿 其自身轴线方向设有贯通结构,所述贯通结构形成供钻井循环介质流通的主流道。
本发明提供一种可控轨迹侧向钻井方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤一:短-极短半径造斜工具包括柔性钻杆和高造斜钻头,利用常规钻柱通过一段特定长度的所述柔性钻杆驱动所述高造斜钻头在斜向器提供的斜向力以及钻压的作用下完成短-极短半径井段的侧向钻进,所述柔性钻杆和所述高造斜钻头的长度不小于短-极短半径井段的长度;步骤二:起出柔性钻杆及高造斜钻头,下入所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具以通过所述短-极短半径井段,继而完成延伸井段的钻探,斜向器能够在自主井眼内对所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具进行支撑,所述高通过性侧向钻井区段的长度大于所述短-极短半径井段的长度与所述延伸井段的井眼长度总和。
本发明提供一种变方位可控轨迹侧向钻井方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤一:下入斜向器,使斜向器的造斜面朝向主井眼的方位角方向。使钻头可以朝向主井眼方位角方向在实现开窗作业;步骤二:通过柔性钻杆驱动高造斜钻头沿着主井眼的方位角方向完成短-极短半径井段的侧向钻进至预先设计的井斜角;所述短-极短半径造斜段的方位角方向与主井眼方位角方向大体一致;步骤三:进行延伸井段的钻探作业过程中改变所述延伸井段的方位角,使延伸井段的方位角逐步达到钻井设计要求。
本发明提供一种短半径钻井工具,所述短半径钻井工具包括:导向钻进短节,其包括钻头和导向短节,所述导向短节包括承载本体,所述承载本体上设置有偏转导向机构和电驱动执行器,所述钻头连接于所述承载本体的下端,所述偏转导向机构能驱动所述钻头按预设方向偏转;驱动钻柱,其包括多个由上至下依次连接的承载短节,位于最下方的所述承载短节与所述承载本体相接,且相邻两所述承载短节之间以及所述承载短节与所述承载本体之间均通过钻压扭矩偏转传递机构相铰接;驱动控制短节,其设有电驱动执行器驱动控制电路,所述电驱动执行器驱动控制电路通过跨接线路与所述电驱动执行器电连接,所述驱动控制短节连接于所述导向钻进短节与所述驱动钻柱之间,或者,所述驱动控制短节连接于所述驱动钻柱中任意位置,或者,所述驱动控制短节连接于所述驱动钻柱的上端;所述承载短节的长度小于1.2m。
本发明的特点及优点是:
1.本发明装置中,通过高通过性传动短节阵列实现短半径钻柱旋转条件下的定向钻井,有效解决短-极短半径井的井眼延伸问题,对短半径定向钻井技术对多层系油气资源的合并开发、薄油气层的开发、剩余油挖潜、煤层气开发和其他种类矿物的开发具有工程可行性和实用价值。
2.本发明装置中,通过布设有经传动节电气线路的高通过性传动短节阵列实现超短半径井眼内的钻压扭矩传输以及通讯,利用经传动节电气线路与中继通讯装置电连接,通过所述通讯装置实现井下近钻头电气装置与井口间的信息接力传递,使高通过性导向执行短节不需要完成远距离通讯的任务,转而将远距离通讯的任务由中继通讯短节来完成,大幅缩减了各个偏转点之间的间距。由于中继通讯短节一般为泥浆脉冲器,需要占用大量空间,因此本发明的好处在于降低钻井过程中的遇阻风险,解决中继通讯短节的长度限制问题;且高通过性传动短节阵列中的各个传动短节的长度有着苛刻的限制,因此近钻头电气装置不宜包含可实现远距离通讯的装置;本发明装置在可控钻压扭矩传递短接阵列需要依靠长距离的钻杆与井口连接的情形下,通过中继通讯装置实现接力通讯,使得包括电器执行器、伽马测量模块在内的近钻头电气装置可以在受到限制得尺寸空间环境下,跨越若干传动短节与所述中继通讯装置实现近距离通讯,进一步的,所述中继通讯装置以更强的能量实现中继位置到井口远距离通讯,最终实现包括测量电路在内的近钻头电气装置至井口处的通讯,实现跨越短-极短半径井段完成可控轨迹侧向钻井;通过经传动短节电气线路,有效分散了各个短接的功能,使得高通过性导向执行短节实现导向功能,负责电力供应和负责对井口通讯的短节不进入短-极短半径井段,使任何一个短节内部只具备系统的单一功能,达到了大幅度缩减任意短节长度及体积的目的,提高高通过性传动短节阵列的动力传输稳定性和电气线路安全性,便于仪器适应更高曲率的井眼,并完成短半径井眼的造斜任务,通过由限制转动偏转角度的传动短节形成的阵列实现短半径井段中的钻压扭矩传递和旋转动力传递,实现跨越短-极短半径井段完成可控轨迹侧向钻井。
3.本发明通过将中继通讯装置设置于高通过性传动短节阵列的输入端可解决如下几点阻碍所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具及其高通过性传动短节阵列发挥作用的瓶颈问题,由于中继通讯装置一般含有泥浆脉冲器,会产生较强的压力脉冲,进而使得柔性贯通承压流管遭到水击压力的破坏,因此将中继通讯装置设置于高通过性传动短节阵列的输入端,即用于跨越常规钻杆形成的钻柱实现对井口端的通讯的所述中继通讯装置需要设置于高通过性传动短节阵列的后方(钻头所指方向为前);由于旋转钻井过程会使得钻柱在旋转钻井过程中与井壁发生频繁磕碰,钻压扭矩传递节的低刚度特性会加剧钻柱振动的烈度和瞬时剧烈撞击发生的频率,所述强烈的振动可达10~50倍重力加速度,所述瞬时撞击可达到100~500倍重力加速度;因此,为有效保证中继通讯装置与井口端的通讯质量,以及中继通讯装置中的电子器件的稳定性,将中继通讯装置的设置于高通过性传动 短节阵列的输入端具对提升工具安全性和稳定性有极大的好处;由于钻压扭矩传递阵列的任何一个偏转点均为所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具的相对薄弱环节,因此将中继通讯装置设置于高通过性传动短节阵列的输入端对减小工具的落井损失有着极大和好处。
4.由于高通过性导向执行短节的工作原理限制,所述高通过性导向执行短节依靠液压活塞抵推井壁实现导向,所述高通过性传动短节阵列会严重损害所述高通过性导向执行短节工作的稳定性;为液压活塞的有效和稳定的工作,本发明创新性的通过保直装置维护了高通过性导向执行短节的同轴特性,减少了高通过性传动短节阵列屈曲导致的高通过性导向执行短节问题,继而为液压活塞提供了良好稳定的工作环境;此外,保直装置可以抑制高通过性传动短节阵列后方的高通过性传动短节阵列在井眼内发生剧烈震动、产生撞击力、破坏井壁。
5.采用厚膜电路工艺制作测量电路的好处在于,可以最大限度的缩小测量电路的尺寸,并且提高测量电路的抗振性能。
6.在使用本发明所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具进行超短半径分支井眼钻探过程中,所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具由锚定导引装置引入窗口,井口处的钻探设备施加钻压并驱动常规钻柱旋转,进而驱动高通过性传动短节阵列旋转,并同时可通过导向执行短节驱动钻头偏转,实现钻井轨迹的反馈调整功能。在这种作业环境下,套管壁上的窗口非常容易造成工具遇卡,因此本发明中将供电短节和/或中继通讯装置设置于高通过性传动短节阵列的后方,即可在短半径分支井作业期间避免过多的仪器设备进入所述窗口,大幅度降低了工具遇卡的可能。
7.本发明装置中,通过限制所述高通过性传动短节阵列中相邻的万向节之间的距离小于钻头直径的5倍,可以减小每一铰接点之间的距离,在所述高通过性传动短节阵列发生振动时,每个铰接点两端都不会形成过长的力臂,以导致铰接处折断;高通过性传动短节阵列的相邻传动短节之间的极限偏转角不大于8°,这里的极限偏转角是钻压扭矩传递动力传递短节转角的机械结构极限,以防止高通过性传动短节阵列中的传动短节在钻压扭矩传递过程中过度屈曲,进而妨碍钻压扭矩传递,以及防止损害经传动节电气线路;所述钻头至所述高通过性传动短节阵列的输出端转动中心的距离不超过1.5米;或者说,所述高通过性传动短节阵列中任意两个所述传动短节的偏转中心之间的最小距离不得超过1米,以便于钻头到最上端的传动短节间的区段可以达到足够的曲率以完成短半径井钻探,最大限度实现造斜;此外,在同样的造斜性能条件下,或者同样的高曲率井眼通过性的条件下,缩短每一节传动短节的长度,即缩短两个偏转点之间的距离, 就可以缩小每一个偏转点的偏转极限。以达到保护传动短节不受到损害并减小井下振动的作用,尤其是保护传动短节中用于传递旋转钻井动力的万向节不受到损害。本发明中,针对前置活塞的高通过性导向执行短节,和后置活塞的高通过性导向执行短节这两种情形,均对其铰接点、液压活塞组件、钻头之间的相对位置及直径进行了限定,已满足高曲率井眼对工具的通过性要求。
8.如上所述,通过后置活塞推靠装置的设计可以最大限度的充分利用高通过性导向执行短节的空间,使高通过性导向执行短节的长度最小化。本发明中通过一系列具体尺寸的限制保障了高通过性导向执行短节可以很好的实现导向功能。
9.对于本发明涉及的钻井工艺流程中,通过所述柔性钻杆驱动所述高造斜钻头完成造斜井段的钻进,继而通过本发明所述的可控轨迹侧向钻井工具实现延伸井段的钻井,分别利用现有的柔性钻杆和高造斜钻头实现短-极短工具造斜钻具组合(例如CN1464170A中所述的短-极短半径钻井工艺),利用其易造斜特点实现造斜,完成短-极短半径井眼的钻探。继而利用本发明所述的可控轨迹侧向钻井工具可实现旋转条件下导向的特点分别完成短-极端半径造斜井段和延伸井段,避免单独采用任意钻具组合无法同时实现极短半径高造斜和井眼轨迹延伸的问题。即本发明的主要好处在于,可以在已有的预设短-极短半径井段的基础上继续钻探,并且实现可控轨迹的延伸井眼的钻探。这样,对于高通过性导向执行短节的造斜能力要求大幅度降低。
10.对于延伸井段的设计方位角与主井眼的方位角不一致时,本发明提出了可变方位的两段式可控轨迹侧向钻井方法,本发明巧妙的分别利用短-极短工具造斜组合的易造斜特点沿着主井眼的方位角方向实现短-极端半径钻井,可以最大限度的以最短的进尺完成短-极短半径井段,继而利用可控轨迹侧向钻井工具可实现旋转钻井条件下导向的特点实现延伸井段的井眼方位改变。避免单独采用任意钻具组合无法同时实现极短半径高造斜和井眼轨迹延伸的问题。
11.本发明的短半径钻井工具,通过设置偏转导向机构,使得在旋转的条件下偏转导向机构能驱动钻头按预设方向偏转,以改变井眼轨迹,从而实现短-极短半径定向钻井或通过所述短-极短半径井段完成其延伸井段的定向钻探;通过将含有大量功率器件且需要散热空间的电驱动执行器驱动控制电路设置于承载本体后方的驱动控制短节内,使得导向短节内仅保留偏转导向机构和电驱动执行器,从而有效缩短了导向短节的长度,进而更容易在高曲率井眼里实现定向功能。
12.本发明选用电驱动执行器为驱动液压缸分配贯通流道中钻井循环介质,以实现向 特定方向的导向,可以最大限度的节约导向过程所需额能量,对缩小机械结构和电路的体积起到至关重要的作用。
13.所述捷联式姿态测量模块可以不依赖惯性平台实现所述短半径钻井工具的姿态测量,消除了惯性平台占用的大量空间和带来的隐患。有助于所述短半径钻井工具承载本体或承载短节的小型化。
14.对所述导向控制电路与所述电驱动执行器驱动控制电路均设置于所述电驱动执行器驱动控制短节的内部的好处在于,使导向控制电路可以更加迅速敏捷通过PWM信号控制开关管驱动器,进一步的通过开关管驱动器驱动开关管实现对电驱动执行器的控制,大幅度降低了控制链路中的可能发生的干扰。开关管可以是IGBT(绝缘栅双极型晶体管)或MOSFET(绝缘栅型场效应管)等。

请参阅附图1-5,本发明提供一种技术方案:一种可控轨迹侧向钻井工具,其包括高通过性侧向钻井区段b和钻井动力传递区段a,其中,高通过性侧向钻井区段b能够通过自主井眼c侧向延伸的短-极短半径井段d实现短-极短半径井段d的延伸井段e的钻探,高通过性侧向钻井区段b自前至后依次包括钻头3、高通过性导向执行短节1以及高通过性传动短节阵列2,高通过性传动短节阵列2由若干个用于承担扭矩的传动短节20构成,传动短节20能够为钻头3传递旋转钻进的动力,且相邻的传动短节20之间具有预设偏转极限角度,预设偏转极限角度设为0.5°~8°;具体的,所述钻井动力传递区段a包括一定长度的钻柱,用于在主井眼内传递钻井动力;需要说明的是,用于在主井眼中传递旋转动力的钻柱可以是任意类型的钻柱,不做特殊要求和限定,所述传递钻井动力的方式可以是直接驱动所述高通过性侧向钻井区段b旋转,也可以是通过传送高压泥浆或者电力在井底通过马达驱动所述高通过性侧向钻井区段b旋转。
高通过性传动短节阵列2沿其轴线方向延伸有贯通结构,贯通结构形成供钻井循环介质流通的主流道,其目的在于实现铰接结构的钻井循环介质流通;本发明的优势在于,可实现可控传动节阵列在短半径井眼中以旋转状态导向,这种条件下,由于可控传动节阵列在定向钻井过程中大体上是旋转的,因此摩擦力的主要力的分量为万向节21阵列的圆周切线方向,大幅度降低了轴向的摩擦力,使得超短半径井眼中的轨迹控制得以实现,所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具可钻杆的短-极短半径井段d的长度总和不超过所述钻头3和所述高通过性传动短节阵列2长度总和。
本实施例中,所述万向节21是通过设置于球头18和球窝19中的传动销22和扭矩传递槽23实现扭矩传递的。例如图3所示,所述球头18外侧设置有扭矩传递槽23,所述传动销22固定设置于球窝19内侧,所述传动销嵌在所述扭矩传递槽23中,以实现扭矩的传递。所述万向节还可以是任意形式的万向节,所述用于传递扭矩的结构也可以是传动销、球、槽、齿等任意能满足扭矩传递要求的结构。例如,球头与球窝间也可依 靠键槽、齿槽相互咬合的方式传递扭矩。
本实施例中,高通过性侧向钻井区段b和钻井动力传递区段a之间设有中继通讯装置4,中继讯通装置4的一端电连接位于高通过性传动短节阵列2内的电气线路7,中继通讯装置4的另一端能够与井口端进行远距离通讯;具体的,通过中继通讯装置4实现了地面装置或人员对所述高通过性导向执行短节1的导向功能和姿态实现监控,更好的实现了可控轨迹的功能。
本实施例中,每个传动短节20的内部设有至少一个用于可变角度的实现旋转钻井动力传递万向节21,高通过性传动短节阵列2中相邻的万向节21之间的距离小于1米;具体的,所述传动短节20内部设置的万向节21为等速万向节,以实现动力传递,其好处在于,所述高通过性传动短节阵列2的输入端在其上方钻具的驱动下可以保持稳定的转速,所述高通过性传动短节阵列2中的各个传动短节20依靠等速万向节21传递动力可以保证所述高通过性传动短节阵列2的输出端但是非等速万向节的动力输入端和动力输出端的转速不一致问题,预防了所述高通过性传动短节阵列2的输出端转速波动对高通过性导向执行短节1的导向精度造成不良影响。
高通过性传动短节阵列2中相邻的传动短节20偏转中心之间的最小距离小于钻头3直径的5倍;一般情况下,所述高通过性传动短节阵列2中的各个万向节21间距在0.4米以内。用于使所述高通过性导向执行短节可通过短-极短半径井段,继而完成所述短-极短半径井段的延伸井段的钻探;对高通过性传动短节阵列中的各个万向节间的距离进行限制的目的在于防止高通过性传动短节阵列中的传动短节在钻压扭矩传递过程中过度屈曲,进而妨碍钻压扭矩传递,以及防止高通过性传动短节阵列2过度屈曲对高通过性导向执行短节控制井眼轨迹行为的干扰;需要说明的是,所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具在钻探短半径在钻探所述延伸井段的过程中,所述高通过性传动短节阵列中总有存在一小段区段处于短-极短半径井段中,因此相邻传动短节之间的预设偏转极限角度过大则会使钻具过度屈曲,影响高通过性导向执行装置控制井眼轨迹,而预设偏转极限角度过小,则会导致无法顺畅的通过短-极短半径井段,通常,为进一步增加钻压扭矩传递的稳定性,以及提升旋转钻井的动力传递效率,各个所述传动短节20之间的偏转角度应当控制在3°以内。
本实施例中,高通过性导向执行短节1内设有测量装置12,测量装置12包括地层信息测量模块,地层信息测量模块中至少包含伽马传感器,伽马传感器固定设置于任意传动短节20的内部,且伽马传感器与中继通讯装置4之间采用电性连接,以便于测量 装置12将测得的地层信息经由中继通讯装置4传递给地面显示设备。
本实施例中,高通过性导向执行短节1包括内部贯通的承载结构10,液压分流器24、电气执行器25以及若干组液压活塞组件13,若干组液压活塞组件13沿高通过性导向执行短节1的圆周方向固定连接于高通过性导向执行短节1的承载结构10上;
电气执行器25能够驱动液压分流器24为液压活塞组件13配液,并向各个液压活塞组件13可控的分配液压流体,从而控制各个液压活塞组件13受液压力状态;需要说明的是,液压的力的来源可以是液压动力系统,或者主流道中的钻井工作流体。在本实施例中,所述压力源于主流道与井眼环空之间的压力差,钻井循环介质从主流道经过钻头上设置的钻头水眼流入井眼环空的过程会产生较大的压降,这个压降即为驱动活塞所需的压力。
本实施例中,所述高通过性导向执行短节至少包括内部贯通的承载结构10、3~4组液压活塞组件13、液压分流器24和电气执行器25,3~4组所述液压活塞组件沿所述高通过性导向执行短节的圆周方向均匀布置,固定连接于呈筒状结构的高通过性导向执行短节承载结构10的筒壁中,所述液压分流器24设置于所述承载结构10内部;
本发明中所述的液压分流器24的功能在于将高压钻井液周期性分配给液压活塞组件的装置,任意形式的液压分流器均在本发明的保护范围内。
所述电气执行器25仅用于驱动液压分流器24执行动作,任意形式的电气执行器25均在本发明的保护范围内。
下面列举三种液压分流器与电气执行器的组合。
第一种液压分流器与电气执行器的组合:如图2、图8所示,每组所述液压活塞组件包括相互配合的活塞缸13-1、活塞13-2和推靠件13-3,或,每组所述液压活塞组件包括相互配合的活塞缸、推靠活塞;所述活塞、推靠件或推靠活塞,在液压分流器24的配液作用下受到液压流体的推动沿所述高通过性导向执行短节的径向推靠井壁,多组活塞组件分别沿其径向推靠井壁产生的合力使所述钻头发生偏转。
所述电气执行器25用于驱动所述液压分流器24为液压活塞组件配液,向各个液压活塞组件可控的分配液压流体,达到控制各个活塞缸受液压力状态的目的;需要说明的是,所述液压的力的来源可以是液压动力系统提供的动力液,也可以是主流道中的钻井工作流体。所述电动机包括电动机定子25-1和电动机转子25-2,所述电动机转子25-2与所述液压分流器阀芯24-2耦接,即所述电动机转子25-2可以驱动所述液压分流器阀芯24-2旋转。所述液压分流器24包括阀壳24-1和阀芯24-2,所述阀壳上至少包含一个 高压入流窗口和若干个供液窗口,所述高压入流窗口与所述承载结构10中的贯通结构连通;如图8,作为更具优势的选择,所述阀芯设置于所述高通过性导向执行短节1的端部,且位于多组所述液压活塞组件13远离高通过性传动短节阵列2的一侧。可以最大限度的缩短承载结构10的长度,有利于所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具通过曲率更高的短-极短半径井段。
所述若干个供液窗口与若干个液压活塞组件一一对应,且与若干个液压活塞组件中的活塞缸连通;所述阀芯上设置有供液流道,所述供液端至少包含进液端和供液端37,所述进液端可与所述承载结构中的贯通结构连通,所述供液端可与通往各组液压活塞组件的流道连通,随着所述阀芯的旋转可以交替连通和切断各个所述高压入流窗口与所述通往各个液压活塞组件的供液窗口间的压力连通,与使高压钻井工作流体交替为所述液压活塞组件供液;在导向过程中,所述液压分流器在所述电气执行器的驱动下,使液压分流器阀芯上的供液端37朝向导向方向的反方向,所述处于导向方向反方向的所在扇区内的所述活塞液压活塞组件提供高压流体,所述阀芯上的供液流道以及通往液压活塞组件的供液流道的当量过流面积大于所述旁通节流结构36的当量过流面积,因此所述液压活塞组件中的活塞回沿径向驱动推靠件抵推井壁,反之,所述处于导向方向的液压活塞组件中的活塞缸中的流体从旁通节流结构36排出;所述导向方向所在扇区是指不超过导向方向±90°的范围。所述各组活塞组件在液压分流器的作用下周期性的推动沿所述高通过性导向执行短节1的径向推靠井壁,3~4组液压活塞组件分别沿所述导向执行短节的径向推靠井壁产生的合力使所述钻头3发生偏转。需要说明的是,文中所述的推靠活塞包括活塞结构和柱塞结构,若采用活塞或柱塞结构直接抵推井壁,则不需要独立的推靠件,即利用活塞缸内的液压力直接推动推靠活塞,使推靠活塞抵推井壁传递推力。本实施例中,所述活塞缸通过高压流道35与所述液压分流器24相连通。
第二种液压分流器与电气执行器的组合:如图9所示,电气执行器25为多个分别与各液压活塞组件一一对应的若干个电磁铁25-3,液压分流器24为多个与电磁铁一一对应的二位二通阀24-3,所述电磁铁与二位二通阀形成电磁阀为各个液压活塞组件周期性的提供高压钻井液。
电磁铁与控制模块15电连接并在控制模块的控制下驱动二位二通阀实现其第一通路16-1和第二通路16-2的开/合,第一通路16-1与液压活塞组件13相连通,第二通路16-2与贯通结构相连通。电磁铁打开阀的通路时能将贯通结构中的高压钻井液与液压活塞组件13周期性连通,
具体的,控制模块15打开驱动液压缸131所对应的二位二通阀的通路,使主流道内的高压流体通过二位二通阀流进所述液压活塞组件13内,使所述活塞的内外产生较大压差,进而通过驱动活塞推靠井壁产生导向推力;对应的,与处于另外一侧的驱动液压缸131对应的二位二通阀处于关闭状态,处于导向方向所在区的驱动液压缸131的钻井液经过节流结构36排出活塞,不产生推力。故所述主流道内钻井液随着钻柱的旋转被电磁阀143在控制模块15的控制下周期性的分配给各个驱动液压缸131,各个驱动液压缸131分别沿其径向推靠井壁产生的合力使钻头3发生偏转,以达到改变井眼轨迹的目的。
第三种液压分流器与电气执行器的组合:电气执行器25为若干个分别与各液压活塞组件一一对应的能往复运转的电动机,液压分流器24为与若干能往复运转的电动机一一对应的二位二通阀24-3,所述电磁铁与二位二通阀形成电磁阀为各个液压活塞组件周期性的提供高压钻井液。
所述能往复运转的电动机通过丝杠或齿轮齿条将电动机的旋转运动转化为能驱动二位二通阀动作的往复运动,及实现对二位二通阀的动作进行控制。二位二通阀作为液压分流器在控制模块的控制作用下执行动作,实现第一通路16-1和第二通路16-2之间的开/闭。其具体导向方式与前述内容一致,在此不在赘述。
由于本发明解决的问题在于实现短-极短半径导向钻井以及继续钻探延伸井眼,采用任何方式对电气执行器和液压分流器进行同等替代,均在本发明的保护范围内。例如US2008/068100(PCT WO 2009/002996 A1)中所述的通过电磁铁和阀实现导向的方式均可作为本专利中电气执行器和液压分流器的同等替代。
所述高通过性导向执行短节1还包括所述测量装置12,所述测量装置12设置于所述承载结构10内部。
所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具还包括控制模块15,所述控制模块中至少含有一块控制芯片,所述导向方向所在扇区根据所述姿态测量模块测得的钻头工具面高边角在所述液压控制芯片进行计算设定。旋转变压器26,所述电动机定子25-1与所述承载结构10固定连接,所述电动机定子25-1与所述电机驱动电路15电连接。

本实施例中,还包括保直装置28,所述保直装置的一端与所述高通过性导向执行短 节同轴连接,所述保直装置的另外一端连接于所述高通过性传动短节阵列。所述保直装置能够使高通过性导向执行短节1与其后方连接的高通过性传动短节阵列2进行弹性连接,使高通过性导向执行短节1与其后方连接的高通过性传动短节阵列2具有了保持同轴特性的趋势。
根据附图8,本实施例中,承载结构10外侧设置有传力肋翼14,所述传力肋翼14可以是勺形结构。所述传力肋翼14与承载结构10通过内铰接结构8铰接连接。传力肋翼即为推靠件13-3,活塞抵推肋翼,驱动肋翼以内铰接结构8为中心向井壁摆动,并通过所述传力肋翼将推力传递给井壁。承载结构10的筒壁上设置有钻孔,所述钻孔极为活塞缸13-1,在任意一个实施例中,均可以在承载结构10上设置液压活塞组件13,或者通过在承载机构10自身的筒壁结构上钻孔的方式形成活塞缸13-1,所述活塞13-2设置于活塞缸内,所述活塞在传力肋翼14和承载机构10之间的活动间隙内活动。

步骤一:短-极短半径造斜工具包括柔性钻杆和高造斜钻头,利用常规钻柱通过一段特定长度的柔性钻杆驱动高造斜钻头在斜向器提供的斜向力以及钻压的作用下完成短-极短半径井段d的侧向钻进,柔性钻杆和高造斜钻头的长度不小于短-极短半径井段的长度;
步骤二:起出柔性钻杆及高造斜钻头,下入可控轨迹侧向钻井工具以通过短-极短 半径井段d,继而完成延伸井段的钻探,斜向器能够在自主井眼c内对可控轨迹侧向钻井工具进行支撑;
方案三
本发明中的另外一种情形,即当主井眼为斜井且主井眼的方位角与所述分支井眼的方位角不同时。本发明提供一种变方位可控轨迹侧向钻井方法,其包括以下步骤:
步骤一:以本实施例为例,主井眼开窗层位处的井斜角为θ,方位角为北,则将斜向器下入设计开窗位置后将斜面面向北方,继而锚定斜向器。使开窗磨铣钻头向主井眼北方磨铣窗口。
步骤二:如图6所示,本实施例中,短-极短半径造斜工具包括所述柔性钻杆和高造斜钻头,利用常规钻柱通过一段特定长度的所述柔性钻杆驱动所述高造斜钻头在斜向器提供的斜向力和/或钻压的作用下向北方角完成极短半径井段的侧向钻进直至接近水平的状态。所述极短半径造斜段的方位角方向与主井眼方位角方向一致朝向北方。需要说明的是,一般情况下,自开窗处起始,当所述短-极短半径井眼在目的层位处于接近水平的位置。
步骤三:如图7所示,从井眼内起出柔性钻杆及高造斜钻头,下入所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具并通过所述短-极短半径井段,继而完成延伸井段的钻探,斜向器能够在主井眼内对所述可控轨迹侧向钻井工具进行支撑。钻探延伸井段的过程中,逐步改变延伸井段的方位角直至设计方位角β。
极短半径造斜段即为极短半径井段,短-极短半径造斜段即为短-极短半径井段。
需要说明的是,在有些特殊情况,当主井眼在井斜和方位同时变化的井段实施开窗侧钻,则以开窗点出的主井眼建柱面坐标系,取全角变化率最大的方向实施开窗,并进一步的完成短至极端半径钻井。进一步的,再完成延伸井段钻探,在钻探延伸井段过程中,使延伸井段的方向逐步向延伸井段的设计方向靠拢。
需要说明的是,在所述短-极短半径造斜工具侧钻短-极短半径井段之前,往往需要先行下入所述斜向器,所述斜向器一般与锚定器固定连接,锚定器通过卡瓦卡住主井眼中的套管内壁或与主井眼井壁实现固定,将导引器斜面朝向特定方向固定,下入磨铣钻头进行开窗磨铣窗口,该过程为现有技术,因此此处不再赘述。此外,为便于理解,因此本发明实施例中将开窗磨铣、短-极短半径井段钻井和延伸井段钻井分为三趟起下钻施工,开窗磨铣作业、短-极短半径井段钻井作业和延伸井段钻井作业中的任何两者或三者均可合并为一趟钻作业,均在本发明的保护范围内。
需要注意的是,本发明中所述的旋转是指绕其轴线的进行的转动,本发明所述的偏转指导向装置的推动下其轴线本身产生弯曲或偏离原来的轴线位置。
需要注意的是,本发明中所述的高通过性导向执行短节不仅指本专利实施例中所述的特定结构的高通过性导向执行短节,以任何其他原理的能达到本发明所述尺寸、功能要求的能执行导向功能的装置均可与实施例中所述的特定结构的所述高通过性导向执行短节做等价替代。
方案四
图11-图16及其中的附图标号,为本发明提供的短半径钻井工具的结构及其应用状态的结构的示意图。
目前,可在旋转状态下提供钻井的井下工具有旋转导向技术,一般的旋转导向造斜能力在6°/30米左右,目前使用的斯伦贝谢公司的最短半径定向导向系统仅能达到15°/30米,在小井眼中最多也不超过18°/30米。然而在短-超短半径钻井领域中,造斜曲率半径要求一般在10米~60米之间,在超短半径钻井领域中,造斜曲率半径要求一般在10米以内。由于目前使用的旋转导向系统先天性的无法被弯折,几乎不可能适应短半径钻井实际需求,并且无法在旋转钻井条件下实现转弯半径在60米以内的短-超短半径定向钻井。现有技术中的其他有关产品也均存在无法在旋转钻井条件下实现井眼轨迹控制的功能,导致严重的拖钻压问题。
为了解决上述问题,如图11、图12、图13和图15所示,本发明提供了一种短半径钻井工具,其能实现短-超短半径井眼300钻进,和/或,通过短-超短半径井眼300完成其延伸井眼300的钻探,该短半径钻井工具包括导向钻进短节100、驱动钻柱200和驱动控制短节,其中:
导向钻进短节100包括导向短节120和钻头110,导向短节120包括承载本体121,
承载本体121呈筒状,承载本体121的长度小于1.5米,以适用超短半径分支井的井眼300曲率,承载本体121上设置有用于执行导向功能的偏转导向机构130和电驱动执行器140,钻头110连接于承载本体121的下端,偏转导向机构130能驱动钻头110按预设方向偏转,以在旋转的条件下驱动钻头110偏转,从而改变井眼300轨迹,进而实现短造斜率;
驱动钻柱200包括多个由上至下依次连接的承载短节210,为了更好的适用超短半径分支井的井眼300曲率,较佳的,承载短节210的长度小于1.2米,位于最下方的承载短节210与承载本体121相接,且相邻两承载短节210之间以及承载短节210与承载 本体121之间均通过钻压扭矩偏转传递机构220相铰接,即驱动钻柱200呈铰链式结构,钻压扭矩偏转传递机构220能够传递旋转钻井的动力以及推进驱动钻柱200;
驱动控制短节可以通过钻压扭矩偏转传递机构220分别与导向短节120和位于最下方的承载短节210相铰接,或者,驱动控制短节可以通过钻压扭矩偏转传递机构220连接于任意相邻两承载短节210之间,或者,驱动控制短节可以通过钻压扭矩偏转传递机构220连接于驱动钻柱200的上端,即电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230设置于承载本体121的后方,以适用于容置对空间需求较大以及对散热要求较高的电驱动执行器驱动控制电路,并且这样的排布方式,既有利于承载本体121最大限度的缩减长度,以提高短半径钻井工具的通过性,又有利于对电驱动执行器驱动控制电路进行减震,较佳的,驱动控制短节的长度小于1.5米;驱动控制短节上设有电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230,电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230通过跨接线路240与电驱动执行器140电连接,跨接线路240能跨越钻压扭矩偏转传递机构220,以使设置于承载本体121中的电驱动执行器140与设置于承载短节210中的电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230实现电连接。
需要说明的是,如图16所示,驱动控制短节内部设置有承压结构,一般是由承压本体281和承压套筒282构形成密封舱室,所述电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230设置于所述密封舱室内。
本发明的短半径钻井工具,通过设置偏转导向机构130,使得在旋转的条件下偏转导向机构130能驱动钻头110按预设方向偏转,以改变井眼300轨迹,从而实现短造斜率;通过将含有大量功率器件且需要散热空间的电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230设置于承载本体121后方的驱动控制短节内,使得导向短节120内仅保留偏转导向机构130和电驱动执行器140,从而有效缩短了导向短节120的长度,进而更容易在高曲率井眼300里实现定向功能。
进一步,如图11、图12和图13所示,偏转导向机构130包括至少三组沿承载本体121的周向间隔设置的驱动液压缸131,较佳的,各驱动液压缸131等间隔设置,驱动液压缸131包括连接于承载本体121的筒壁上的活塞缸1311和设置于活塞缸1311内的驱动活塞1312,驱动活塞1312能沿承载本体121的径向移动,且驱动活塞1312能抵靠井壁,通过驱动活塞1312的伸缩驱动钻头110按预设方向偏转,具体的,通过调节各驱动活塞1312的伸缩量,能够调整各驱动活塞1312向井壁施加的推力,井壁会通过驱动活塞1312将反作用力作用于承载本体121上,以使承载本体121带动钻头110相对于井壁偏转一定角度,从而改变井眼300轨迹。
需要说明的是,采用驱动液压缸131的目的和意义在于,液压力可以以柔性的较为恒定压力推靠井壁,在一定的井眼曲率范围内都可以稳定运行并不至于被卡住。此外,由于井下仪器设计受到空间的限制,因此,驱动活塞1312和活塞缸1311的形状不一定是标准的圆柱形状,驱动活塞1312可以是活塞结构、柱塞结构及任意同等替代;驱动活塞1312和活塞缸1311之间可以采用金属密封、橡胶件密封或O型圈密封等任意有助于驱动活塞1312伸缩功能的密封方式;活塞缸1311和驱动活塞1312的截面形状相适配,其可以是圆形、方形或槽口形等。
进一步,驱动活塞1312上连接有推靠件1313,驱动活塞1312通过推靠件1313与井壁抵接。
进一步,所述短半径钻井工具还包括捷联式姿态测量模块270和导向控制电路250,捷联式姿态测量模块270固定设置于所述短半径钻井工具中,一般而言,捷联式姿态测量模块270固定设置于所述承载本体121,用于在井下测量所述短半径钻井工具的重力工具面角和/或磁工具面角。导向控制电路250与捷联式姿态测量模块270和电驱动执行器驱动控制电路230电连接,所述导向控制电路250根据所述测得的重力工具面角和/或磁工具面角控制电驱动执行器140执行指令动作,进一步驱动偏转导向机构130带动钻头110向导向方向偏转。
