  • Publication number: 20190196046
    Abstract: A WEM-based method for deep resource detection using sky waves refers to the technical field of deep resource detection. The proposed method of deep detection using sky waves improves the traditional “atmospheric-lithosphere” half-space propagation theory into a full-space “sky wave” theory of “ionosphere-atmosphere-rock layer”, that is, the influence of the ionosphere and the displacement current in the air are taken into consideration to obtain a new precise expression of “sky wave” response, which is suitable for full space, slow attenuation and long distance propagation. A receiving device for sky wave signal has been developed. Through theoretical model calculation and actual data measurement, it is known that it is possible to use the sky wave for detection within the scope of China's national territory to realize the high-precision electrical structural exploration within a depth of 10 kilometers and open a new era of artificial source electromagnetic detection.

  • Publication number: 20190128070
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20190129052
    Abstract: In a method for acquiring data of azimuthal acoustic LWD, when an acoustic LWD instrument rotates with a drilling tool at a certain depth, data is acquired by adopting an azimuthal equal-interval mode: a well circumference is divided into m sectors by azimuthal intervals ??, when a toolface angle of the acoustic LWD instrument is located in the kth sector, an acoustic transmitting source is controlled to transmit an acoustic signal, and an acoustic receiver measures the acoustic signal, digitizes it and then stores it as data in the kth sector; and the data is acquired for each sector in turn, and after the data is acquired in each sector for N times, the data acquisition at the current depth is completed. Meanwhile, as the drilling tool rotates and drills, the instrument acquires acoustic data at different depths and processes it to achieve azimuthal acoustic imaging.
