Patent number: 10443307Abstract: The static push-the-bit articulated high-built-rate rotary steerable tool has the main body of a non-rotary measurement and control unit articulated with the main body of a non-rotary actuator, rather than an integral structure. Due to the fact that the drilling tool is easy to bend in a wellbore, the bending stress in an upper portion of the steerable tool is low, and the consumption of the pushing force for bending deformation of the drilling tool is minimized. Since the steering sleeve around the main body of a load-bearing actuator only slides along the well wall in an axial direction without rotational friction there-between, the service life of the steering sleeve is long. Besides, since hydraulic pressure is used instead of pressure difference of mud to act on the pistons to form the pushing force, the pushing force is greatly improved, and the sealing life of the pistons is longer.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: INSTITUTE OF GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Jiansheng Du, Qingyun Di, Zili Wang, Wenxuan Chen
