  • Patent number: 11965412
    Abstract: A quantitative evaluation method for integrity and damage evolution of a cement sheath in an oil-gas well is provided based on a fractal theory, an image processing technology, structural features and failure mechanisms of a casing-cement sheath-formation combination. The method uses correlations among fractal dimensions of casing-cement sheath interface morphology, cement sheath microscopic pore morphology, particle morphology of an initial blank group, and macroscopic mechanical properties including a radial cementing strength of the cement sheath interface, a tensile strength, and a compressive strength to quantitatively evaluate the integrity of the cement sheath of the blank group.

  • Patent number: 11851952
    Abstract: A downhole displacement impact method and an impact drilling tool are provided, which relates to the field of drilling tools. The downhole displacement impact drilling tool includes a flow passing sleeve, a first main shaft, an impact-bearing seat, and a second main shaft that are all formed by annular structures and are connected in sequence from top to bottom. A vibration sleeve, a vibration starting seat, and an impact head are connected in sequence from top to bottom on the impact-bearing seat. The vibration sleeve is connected and fixed to the impact head through a connecting sleeve. The vibration starting seat synchronously rotates with the impact-bearing seat through a spline connection therebetween. The vibration starting seat generates an up-down periodic displacement along an axial direction of the vibration starting seat during rotating.
