Description

A kind of linkage that is used for the borehole signal transmission
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the linkage of pit shaft signal transmission, especially, the present invention relates to be used for setting up in the pit shaft and between the ground linkage of signal transmission passage.
Background technology
In drilling operation processes such as oil, mine, geological prospecting, need to obtain information such as a large amount of down-hole formation parameters and borehole status, the general using sensor obtains these information, and the real-time ground that is transferred to.Be accompanied by The Application of Technology such as drilling measuring technology (MWD), logging while drilling technology (LWD), seismic imaging technology and rotary steerable drilling technology, required information transmitted amount is increasing.
At present, the transmission means of data-signal mainly contains wireless transmission and two kinds of forms of wire transmission in the drilling process.Wireless signal transmission techniques mainly comprises: mud-pulse, sound wave and three kinds of forms of electromagnetic wave.Wherein the mud pulse technology commercial application is the most extensive, technological comparative maturity, but transfer rate is low; Information content is little; The impulse generator complex structure, influence factor is many, and is not suitable in the drilling fluid of gas or gas-liquid mixed phase; The requirement that bulk information transmits real-time can not be satisfied, the high-speed channel of ground and under-well bi-directional closed-loop information transmission can not be set up.Technology of acoustic wave is to utilize drill string to carry out the transmission of signal for passage, and this technical costs is low, and transfer rate is fast; But transmission range is too short, is not suitable for deep-well, and receives surrounding environment influence bigger; The instance that this is technological, the acoustics wellbore telemetry system described in PCT patent No.WO2004085796.The electromagnetic wave technology is to utilize drilling rod, the borehole wall and the space between them, and the transmission channel of stratum mutual group one-tenth is carried out the transmission of signal on every side.This technological system good stability has better compliance under balance pressure drilling, but receives the influence on stratum very big, and along with the increase of well depth, weak gradually, compliance is relatively poor, and cost is high.
Wire transmission technology be with cable independently as transmission channel, therefore do not receive the influence of drilling fluid types, stratum and well depth.Wherein have the transfer rate height as the signal transmission technology of transmission channel with whole cable or optical fiber, advantage such as influence factor is little, but be not suitable for rotary drilling, and complex operation, cost is high.
In drilling rod, lay the cable of segmentation, the segmentation cable is linked together, can realize the transmission of signal between ground and downhole instrument, can be called the segmented Cable Transmission Technology through linkage.This Technology Need connects the form of hundreds of root cable through joint, and a hundreds of joint is arranged on the whole transmission channel, therefore how to guarantee that the reliability of joint is the key of this technology.Connected mode according to linkage can be divided into " being flexible coupling " and " being connected firmly " two kinds, and " being flexible coupling " be meant through induction mode and realize connecting between cable, have simple in structure, the reliability advantages of higher." the hard connection " is exactly to reach the purpose that is communicated with between cable through the direct perhaps mediate contact that makes cable conductor together, is applied to the connection between downhole instrument at present more.In the accuracy that guarantees cable butting unusual difficulty on the insulating properties extremely, reliability is low.
The induction coupling technique that utilizes electric current to be coupled carries out " being flexible coupling " between cable thereby the research that reaches signal transmission in the well is had it long ago; Be entitled as the United States Patent(USP) No. 4602468 of " mutual inductance type cable connector ", introduced the application of the induction coupling that is fixed on the drilling rod inner surface.About intelligent drilling rod and electric current inductive coupling connector instance as: be entitled as " drilling rod group telemetry system " United States Patent(USP) No. 4126848, be entitled as the United States Patent(USP) No. 20080106433 of " pipeline and the method for transmission signal "; Be entitled as " being used to transmit pipeline and the method for signal " Chinese patent No.200610071982, be entitled as the Chinese patent No.200410087051 of " downhole telemetry system and method ".Mainly be to utilize electromagnetic induction principle to utilize coil and high permeability materials to realize the transmission of signal between cable, wherein high permeability material is mainly ferrite.Because coil, coupling element and various ways occurs separately with different structures of linkage that make such as the mode of action between drilling rod.
The intelligent drilling rod technology of comparative maturity is that cable burial is inner at drilling rod at present; Bury docking facilities underground in tool joint place; Utilize " being flexible coupling " perhaps connection of " the hard connection " realization adjacent drill pipes inner cable, between down-hole and ground, realize the high efficiency of transmission of signal or electric power.
Wherein, realize that between tool joint the intelligent drilling rod technology of cable " being flexible coupling " has been carried out commercial application, can reach the transfer rate of 2Mbit/s.This technology has realized the great raising of signal transmission rate aspect, but need in tool joint, lay coil realizes " being flexible coupling " between cable, and the processing and manufacturing process is complicated, the maintenance difficulty, and cost is high, and needs to use extraordinary drilling rod.
