  • Publication number: 20230323769
    Abstract: A near-bit multi-parameter downhole measurement and control system while drilling, including a ground device and a downhole assembly. The downhole assembly includes a drill bit, a multi-parameter acquisition and signal transmission sub, a positive displacement motor or drilling tool, a receiving and transmitting module, a wireless communication sub, and a non-magnetic drill collar which are connected in sequence. The multi-parameter acquisition and signal transmission sub is provided with the near-bit measuring instrument. The receiving and transmitting module is configured to receive signals from the near-bit measuring instrument and transmit the signals to the wireless communication sub. The wireless communication sub is configured to transmit the received signals to the ground device through a mud pulse generator in a form of pulse signal, and the ground device decodes and analyzes downhole data. The system can monitor and adjust the real-time changes of downhole engineering parameters timely.

  • Patent number: 10927607
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a drilling speed increasing device driven by a downhole motor for generating shock vibration. The device uses the rotational energy of a screw motor as power to drive a lower vibration starter to rotate. Vibration starting steel balls have the function of reducing friction in the interior. During axial reciprocating motion of the upper vibration starter, a spring matched with the upper vibration starter is periodically compressed to generate spring energy. The spring energy reacts on the lower vibration starter and a main shaft connected with a drill bit, so as to periodically provide drilling pressure for the drill bit. Periodic motion of the upper vibration starter and the spring produces periodic axial vibration on the tool.

  • Patent number: 10718176
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a drilling speed improvement device capable of producing both hydraulic pulse and impact vibration. The device has a pressure transfer rod that is arranged at an upper end of a lower joint. A spring chamber is formed among a drill body, the pressure transfer rod and the lower joint. A spring is arranged in the spring chamber. A communicating hole is formed in the drill body. A piston is arranged at an upper end of the pressure transfer rod. A pressure bearing head is arranged at an upper end of the piston. A pressure bearing base is arranged on the inner side of an upper joint. Drill bit impact loads and drilling fluid pulse jets are modulated by the longitudinal vibration energy of a drill stem, the rock breaking efficiency of a drill bit is improved by both dynamic and static loads, and harm caused by vibration of the drill stem is reduced.

  • Patent number: 10697277
    Abstract: A simulation device for integrated evaluation experiment for sand control wellbore plugging and plugging removal, including a wellbore system, a whole sand control well plugging system, a local sand control well plugging system and a plugging removal system. The wellbore system simulates downhole working conditions of the sand control wellbore. Perforations of the whole sand control well plugging system and sand-filled pipe of the local sand control well plugging system are applied on the casing pipe of the wellbore system. The plugging process of the sand control well system is simulated by pumping a sand-laden slurry into the wellbore system. The plugging removal process is simulated by setting the plugging removal tool of plugging removal system through an oil tube in the wellbore system. The plugging removal effect of the plugging removal tool is analyzed and evaluated according to the reliable data measured by the pressure gauge, flowmeter, etc.
