Description

STRUCTURES OF MIXED MATERIAL WHICH HAVE REDUCED SIGNAL ATTENUATION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to structures of mixed material having reduced signal attenuation properties. In particular, the invention relates to components of mixed sounding columns that exhibit a degree of transparency which allows the transition of electromagnetic fields, acoustic signals and echoes and nuclear means thus allowing the use of electromagnetic, acoustic and nuclear sensor equipment to obtain data from a drilling from inside a drill pipe In a specific modality, a mixed material pipe is incorporated with end fittings that allow its incorporation into a drilling column, thus allowing the use of logging equipment from inside the tube of mixed material BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the process of digging a borehole, it is currently the practice to acquire information that relates to training through the use of methodologies known as measurement while drilling (MDP), diagraphy during drilling (DDP) Diagram during discharge (DDD) and measurement during discharge (MDD) E These methodologies use sensor technologies and devices such as spectral gamma rays, neutron emission and detections, radio frequency tools, nuclear magnetic resonance, acoustic imaging, acoustic density, acoustic calibrators, gamma ray emission and detection, density registers, registers sonic and a scale of other instrumentation to obtain detailed information that refers to the surrounding formation of a borehole. These measurement technologies require sophisticated devices or procedures to obtain high quality data about a formation, the level of sophistication is a direct result of the severity of the downhole sounding operation environment. In addition, this measuring equipment can be designed to form a component of the drilling equipment which requires greater sophistication in the integration of the measuring equipment within the drilling equipment. However, the coupling of the measuring equipment with the normal drilling equipment is limited both in the quality and type of data that can be obtained from a borehole. For example, where a tool of measurement or measurement is used within a Survey column, data type and data resolution are limited by the material properties of the drill pipe of the drill string. In normal practice, drill pipes are made of steel and consequently limit the capacity of the drill or measurement tools to acquire a wide scale of information. In particular, electromagnetic and acoustic sensing devices can not be operated from inside a metal drill pipe in view of the inability of an electromagnetic or acoustic sensing device to operate through a metal drill pipe. Secondly, the use of sensing devices that operate through a metal pipeline can result in severe attenuation of any data signal thus limiting accuracy to obtain a training data record. Once the well has been fully excavated, operators with Frequently, they continue to acquire wellbore formation data during the life of their elasticity. In order to maintain stability in the borehole, it is often necessary that the borehole be aligned with a housing, usually a metallic housing cemented in Your place Again, the use of metal can prevent or severely attenuate the sensor equipment consequently, there is a need for tubing to be used in both the drilling and housing phases of a borehole which does not prevent or severely attenuate the use of sensing equipment within the borehole Therefore there is a need of pipe that allows the use of a full scale of MDP technologies, DDP, DDD and MDD The drilling / borehole environment is a high-stress, extremely abrasive environment that requires very high performance and quality standards in drilling equipment. This is normal and so performance characteristics for drilling equipment are exhibited in part by the American Petroleum Institute (API specification 7 for Rotary Drill Stem Elements) and numerous specifications for drill pipe and housings (API Specification 5 for housings) for use in boreholes. Therefore, there has been a need for tubing that meets the API specifications for column-by-probe components that also provide the necessary conductivity at the operating frequencies of the sensor equipment used in MDD DDP DDD and MDD Specifically, there is a need for mixed-conductive radiofrequency conductive tubing and acoustic signals that also result in an attenuation reduction of slings / natural degradation particles (gamma rays, beta particles, etc.) passing through the pipeline However, it is not practical for a mixed material pipe to replace a steel drill string. Consequently the use of the MDP, DDP instrumentation , DDD and MDD only require a relatively small window to obtain data from drilling wells, only a corresponding short section of the mixed material pipe is required to provide the window. Therefore, the incorporation of a relatively short section of mixed material pipeline Inside a drilling column requires metal / mixed material joints with performance characteristics equal to those of the mixed material and metallic sections of the sounding column which thus allows the mixed material pipe to be connected to metal components of the column drilling in a conventional way A drill collar of mixed material that also It acts as a rotating torque absorber reducing the risk of kinks as a result of the accumulation of rotating torque in the drill string. As indicated above, the downhole drilling environment is severe in terms of abrasion, pressure and temperature In that a tube of mixed material does not have the abrasion resistance qualities of steel, there has been a need for a tube of mixed material with an outer surface material that reduces abrasive wear to a drilling aid or accommodation caused by contact with the borehole Conductive fibers such as carbon provide electromagnetic protection and are often used to improve the protection capabilities of insulating plastics. For example, the addition of carbon fiber to nylon increases the attenuation of signals. , it has been known that the choice of carbon fiber as a mater For a means of reinforcement is detrimental to the objective of EM transparency, there has been a need for a mixed material tube design where the design facilitates the use of carbon fiber while providing acceptable EM transparency. Consequently, there has been a need for a mixed material tube design where the microstructure of the mixed material provides physical strength and acceptable EM transparency to allow the use of sensor equipment from inside the tube. In addition, there has been a need for a material drilling aid. mixed with a mixed material structure that increases the stiffness of auxiliary drilling while also improving the abrasion resistance and electromagnetic transparency of the drilling aid Consequently, there has been a need for binder compositions which are based on cement and which allow for the elimination or partial removal of carbon fiber from the est Mixed material structure through improved stiffness of mixed material drilling aid A prior art investigation has revealed that the above problems have not been taken into account For example, US Patent 5,097,870, US Patent 5,332 049 US Patent 5,398,975 and PCT Publication WO 91/14123 teach mixed material tube structures US Patent 5250,806, US Patent 5,339,036 and US Patent 5,128,902 teach Various Apparatus and Methods for Collecting Borehole Data Canadian Patent Application 2 044 623 describes a method for reducing noise in borehole signals In addition, U.S. Patent 4,968,545 describes a structure of mixed material using a construction Preimpregnated US Patent 5212,495 describes a cover of mixed material to protect an antenna from a training evaluation tool, US Patent 5,131,624 describes a method and apparatus for isolating electrical devices in a diagnostic probe US Patent 5,138,313 discloses an electrically insulating space subassembly for tubular articles, US Patent 4,592.4 21 describes suction rods that include a plurality of unidirectional reinforced mixed fiber fiber rods and US Patent 4,504,786 describes a gamma-ray spectrum tool for the use of boreholes.

Consequently, with the introduction of additional parameters such as minimum electromagnetic signal attenuation, it has previously been considered that the use of a known attenuation material such as carbon fiber is minimized or eliminated in order to meet this electromagnetic attenuation design requirement However, in certain applications, in view of the physical size requirements of the mixed material body and / or the requirements of strength / physical performance, the use of carbon fiber can not be eliminated while still meeting the strength / physical performance requirements. To overcome this problem, the present application has recognized that the orientation of carbon fiber within the body of mixed material it relates to the electromagnetic attenuation properties of the composite material body, thus making it possible to design a composite material body with the required high strength / physical size limitations while also achieving the desired electromagnetic attenuation properties. In particular, the present invention has recognized that the orientation of carbon fiber dent A body of mixed material and, in particular, a tube of mixed material allows electromagnetic sensors to be placed using sensing equipment within the tube of mixed material which provides an acceptable data acquisition signal Essentially, dispersing the carbon fiber with fiberglass together with a low packing angle, a highly conducting conductive fiber ring is avoided. In a specific application, this invention has developed a mixed material / metal pipe for use in a borehole column for well drilling operations descending With this mixed material / metal perforation pipe design, a segmented design with end fittings on each side of the mixed media section is provided. The end fittings allow the integration of the mixed material / metal drill pipe to a column of existing steel drilling while the middle section _ <; »Of mixed material allows the placement and use of daytime equipment during the unloading, logging during drilling, measurement during unloading and measurement during drilling within this section. In order to allow the use of logging equipment or measurement, the middle section of mixed material has an acceptable electromagnetic transparency in the scale of 0 kHz-200 kHz. Consequently, the design of a mixed material with integral end fittings for use in a sounding column while having specific electromagnetic properties, requires that the tube section of mixed material has characteristics of physical strength performance and size of existing steel drill pipes (as for API specifications, where applicable) as well as the electromagnetic properties required. Also, the tube of mixed material with accessories integral ends should provide a joint of mixed material / metal that provides ee optimal performance characteristics, mainly a satisfactory durability in high voltage drilling environment The mixed material / metal tube has the following components: 1 the basic mixed material tube, 2 the extreme accessories, and 3 the connection between the material tube mixed basic and end fittings As indicated, in addition to the physical strength characteristics of the mixed material tube, electromagnetic transparency properties are also required to allow the logging equipment to effectively record the characteristics of the downhole. Reduced signal attenuation provides acquisition Higher data data Mainly, electromagnetic transparency on a 10 kHz scale is required, however, reduced attenuation on the 0-200 kHz scale is also useful. The diaphragm equipment can include electrode devices and / or induction devices to obtain information from the training n Electrode devices require direct contact with drilling well mud or moderately conductive to inject currents into a formation when measurements are carried out in air-filled or oil-based probe wells of lower conductivity. in conventional electrodes As this measurement method is limited to direct contact with a well-drilling mud, measurements are not possible through a drilling auxiliary all made of highly conductive steel or a drilling aid of mixed material. Induction device on the other hand measures the conductivity of formation through the use of secondary parasitic currents in the formation This measurement is superior in air-filled or oil-based boreholes of lower conductivity and can also tolerate moderately conductive mud environments found more normally The induction logging has pr obado to be very versatile and currently forms the main means to assess the resistivity of formation As is the case of electrode devices, measurements are not possible through an auxiliary steel drilling per are possible through an auxiliary material mixed moderately conductive In the basic induction device, a current of constant amplitude and frequency alteration is fed to the transmitting bovine The resulting magnetic field around the transmitting bovine induces eddy current flow in the formation Assuming a cylindrical symmetry parasitic currents will flow in coaxial paths with the borehole The parasitic currents induce an alternating voltage in the sensing bovine that is completely 180 ° out of phase with the transmitting current The magnitude of the parasitic currents are proportional to the conductivity of the formation The component resistive of the detector signal, f orma the basis of the induction measurement A direct coupling signal 90 ° out of phase is also received by the detecting bovine but is electronically filtered Current induction devices designed to measure the resistivity (in ohm m) of a formation, normally operate at a frequency of 20 kHz The resistivity of formation has traditionally been documented printed copy during a printing scale of four decades, from 02 to 2000 ohm m In addition, the use of mixed material also allows the use of transmitting and receiving devices acoustics for taking drilling hole diameter measurements This includes, but is not limited to, the implementation of acoustic transmitter and receiver devices used to measure acoustic pulse path time through the formation immediately adjacent to the sounding well. trajectory time,? t, and the specific acoustic time of vain with the composition of minerals, porosity and the fluid present in the formation (m situ) Consequently, additional data such as rock or mechanical properties can also be obtained Fractures Imaging using acoustic reflection data It is also possible The propagation of acoustic waves through mixed materials and compensation for the acoustic properties of mixed material can be carried out by producing the above while propagation through steel pipes is highly problematic. In addition, the low density of the material mixed allows the improved transition of gamma / neutron / beta materials through the body of the auxiliary allowing thus more accurate detection of them with receivers located inside the auxiliary Basic Mixed Tube Design The basic design of the mixed tube requires low humidity absorption , heat resistance and corrosion resistance The tube of mixed material should also show the mechanical performance of all existing steel design as shown in Table 1 The following calculations refer to a nominal neck size of 174-17 78 cm It is understood that similar calculations can be applied in the design of tools of different dimensions Table 1 - Required Performance Characteristics (only 17.4 cm diameter tool) maximum tension load 90,000 static kg 360,000 kg impact maximum compression load 22,500 kg static 135,000 kg impact maximum torque load 6,900 kgm maximum internal pressure 7030 kg / cm2 duration limit 5272.50 kg / cm2 minimum lateral stiffness 70% steel drill collar minimum impact resistance 552 kgm Charpy slot at temp temp Amb resistance to minimum tension 8436 kg / cm2 minimum elastic resistance 7733 kg / cm2 dimensions physical OD maximum 18415 cm Minimum ID 6 35 cm maximum overall length 9 3 m maximum operating temperature 2822 ° C Basic Construction Pipe A basic mixed material pipe was prepared by a computer controlled filament winding process. This process adds successive layers of a fiber impregnated with a binder on a steel mandrel to build the basic pipe. The winding speed, Reel and spool fiber location are controlled to allow fiber, fiber orientation and thickness to be controlled to accumulate successive layers of fiber according to the characteristics of the desired end product. Generally, fiber and fiber orientation they are selected according to the physical and electromagnetic properties of the design. Preferably the binders are of organic or inorganic composition. In the specific design of a tube of mixed material to be used in the sounding column, there are two main types of fiber layers in the pipe. of basic material, the first type being a low angle wrapper ( for example, + 10 ° off the longitudinal axis of the tube) and the second type being wrapped circumferentially around the tube (90 ° to the longitudinal axis of the tube) Each layer is wrapped with half the fiber aligned at its positive winding angle and the other half at the negative winding angle The first layer comprises a number of different fibers within that layer such as carbon fiber, aramid fiber or glass fiber For a given design having an electromagnetic transparency, the amount of carbon fiber while still allowing a given physical resistance The second type of layer may also comprise a number of different fibers within the layer However, if the design requires electromagnetic transparency, carbon fiber should not be included in this layer. layer Preferably, the second type of layer is equally intercalated through the tube wall of mixed material in a number of radial positions discrete in order to improve the strength of the mixed laminar material The binder can be a cement-based composition or a normal epoxy resin Cement-Based Binder In the situation of a cement-based composition the use of a cement-based composition eliminates the need High-modulus carbon fiber for a significant portion of the drilling aid allowing the replacement of the carbon fiber with high-modulus aramid fiber The cement can be selected in any way from a selection of a portland cement, portland cement aluminum-plaster, cement plaster, aluminum-phosphate cement, portland-sulfoalummate cement, calcium silicate-monosulfoaluminate cements, glass-walled cements or other inorganic cements The techniques for the incorporation of a cement-based composition include covering glass fibers with an aqueous slurry of a cement composition as It is wound around the steel mandrel and then cured with air. Alternatively, the cement composition is added to the glass fibers during the winding by placing a negative electrostatic charge on the fibers and passing them through the cement composition that has been loaded to cause them to adhere to the fibers In this situation, the cement composition is preferably fluidized and passes through a polarization grid to provide the cement with a positive electrostatic charge using known fluidizing techniques. A voltage differential of approximately 20 kilovolts It is also possible to add additional cement after the winding by adding water or steam during the heat treatment in an autoclave. The cement-based binder is used to build a tube of mixed material where it is convenient to impart a high degree of rigidity to the auxiliary of drilling that can allow reduction or removal of carbon fiber inside the tube. As indicated, the reduction of the carbon fiber from inside the tube will improve the transparency for electromagnetic signal and / or field propagation in a frequency scale. furtherA cement binder can also be used to improve the abrasion resistance of the drilling aid as well as to decrease the density of the tube which is advantageous for the particle based sensor equipment. Resin-Based Binder A normal epoxy resin can be used as a binder The evaluation of a specially formulated resin exhibiting low electrical attenuation properties was evaluated in a test specimen at secondary scales and was not found to offer significant benefits for decreasing electrical attenuation over the normal epoxy resin binder The specific resin used for these tests was bisphenol F resin with an MTHPA curing agent. The thickness of the layer is usually 0 025 and 0 1 cm. For the specific bore column tube, the Thickness of the layers of the first type is 0.096 cm and 0088 cm for the layers of the second type. The cure is carried out as soon as the filament winding is completed in a convection oven. The curing program follows the procedure recommended by the resin manufacturers. A typical cure consists in keeping the oven at a temperature of 1622 ° C for 4 hours. hours, the winding of the temperature at 2022 ° C for 4 hours, the winding of the temperature to 2822 ° C for 6 hours, turning off the oven and allowing the part to cool slowly to room temperature in the oven After curing, the mandrel is removed and the inner tube is cut length The design of the base line for the mixed material tube used carbon fiber Grafil HR40 (Courtaulds Advanced Materials Sacramento, CA) DuPont Kevlar ™ and Owens-Corning E and glass S2 The tube was manufactured with a number of laminar layers with fiber orientation angles and thicknesses as shown in Table 2 La Taba 3 shows the mechanical properties of the fibers of the line of the base The resin system used for the design of the base line was Shell resin DPL 862 Other fibers that can be used include 3M Nextel ™ ceramic fiber Other resins can be used such as Bryte Technologies Ine EX-1545 RTM System Table 2 Tube of Mixed Material of the Base Line Material Angle% of thickness Carbon Fiber HR40 10 ° 36 Kevlar 149 10 ° 40 Glass S-2 10 ° 14 Glass S-2 90 ° 10 Table 3- Properties of Fibers Type Manufacturer Voltage module mcm2, Resistance to tension, kcm Carbon HR40 Grafil, Ine 553 700 Kevlar149 DuPont 260 500 Glass S-2 Owens-Corning 125 530 Lateral Rigidity The "stiffness" work of a composite material neck is achieved by the use of a plurality of fibers that can be selected but not limited to carbon fiber, aramid fiber and glass fibers. The orientation of these fibers and relatively used quantities of each and the selection of organic and / or organic compositions used as binders control the rigidity The practices of normal oil fields, ask for perforation necks, auxiliaries, engines, etc, to have a stiffness equivalent to 70 -80% of a solid steel rod of the same diameter For example, a drill collar with a diameter of 174 cm should be as rigid as 70-80% as a solid rod of the same steel with a diameter of 174 cm. This requirement of Stiffness is necessary to allow the driller to control the drilling direction. This is achieved if the driller can have compression loading on the drill. Compression load is controlled by reducing the tension maintained on the drill string using the drilling rig of the cabling system and the drill rig to partially raise the drilling column from the well along with the use of drilling fluid to float the drilling column. Thus, by controlling the compression load on the lower sections of the sounding column, the driller can control the direction in which it is drilled by making sure that the lower section has an "equivalence" through its component with respect to Stiffness In applications where a high degree of stiffness is required, higher amounts of carbon fiber and / or inorganic binders are needed in order to stiffen the auxiliary In the situation where less stiffness is required such as horizontal drilling, be possible to remove the carbon fiber Therefore, while the lateral stiffness is not specific is required by API 7 or RP7G specification 7 and as indicated above, industry standards may require a minimum lateral stiffness of 65-70% of a similar steel section in order to maintain the directional control of the drill string Therefore, in addition to the requirements set out in table 1, the mixed material pipe was designed with lateral rigidity 70-80% of a similar steel section with the required internal and external diameters of the tube, namely 5.71 cm, minimum and 18.4 cm, maximum, respectively, consequently, with a lateral stiffness of a steel section of 80.24 g / cm2 with a module of 187.05 mcm2 (steel axilla module), the minimum rigidity of the mixed material tube is 56.17 g / cm2. With an external diameter of 168.63 cm and an internal diameter of 6.35 cm, the minimum armpit module must be at least 97.39 mcm2. A tube design of the base line was designed with an axial module of 114.8 mcm2. Stress and Fatigue Analysis of the Basic Mixed Material Tube The basic material tube was analyzed for tension and fatigue under a combined load condition of 360,000 kg axial tension condition. and a torsion load of 24,000 kg./m. The design of sheet material in a sectional form from the end of the arrow was analyzed using classical lamination theory. A description of this analysis is found in Robert M. Jones Mechanics of Composite Materials (published by McGraw-Hill Book, 1975) and was used to determine the stress and fatigue state of the layer under external load conditions. The analysis provides a point tension analysis of a material laminate under flat loads. The constitutive relationship of the sheet material is formulated and used to determine medium plane stresses and curvatures that arise due to the charges in the plane. The tensions in the mid-plane curvatures are used to determine the tensions of the layer and therefore the stresses in each layer of the sheet material. The loads used in the program are entered as operating loads. The axial and torsional operating loads for the body of mixed materials are calculated immediately.

Sample tubes B and C were constructed of Grafil 55-500 fiber mechanically superior of variable percentage concentrations The carbon fiber envelope during construction was confined to the coaxial orientation (ie circumference) The sample tube D was constructed of carbon fiber Grafil 55-500 with coaxial carbon fiber enveloping reduced to the minimum allowed by the mechanical performance restriction. The sample tubes E and F are duplicates of sample tube D but with different resin properties and a reduced carbon fiber percentage concentration. The sample tube G was constructed with a percentage concentration of carbon fiber on the tubes of previous samples; E and F. The Keviar ™ fiber was replaced by the carbon fiber that was removed. A summary of the construction of these tubes and a summary of the electromagnetic test results is shown in Table 7. Table 7 - Construction of Mixed Tube Sample; Data of Attenuation and Change of Phase Testing of Mixed Material Samples for Induction Characteristics The test apparatus consisted of two coaxial circular coils located inside (transmitter) and outside (detector) A signal generator was connected to the internal bovine at a constant amplitude, the signal variable frequency (ac) fed into the bovine Voltage and phase measurements were taken from the bovine outside with reference to the bovine interior The skin depth equation describes the relationship between the amplitude and phase of an ac signal as propagates through a conductive material The equation predicts that the amplitude will be attenuated as an exponential function as the distance and phase will be delayed (ie delayed time) as a function of distance Quantitatively the equation is expressed as d (depth) skin in meters) = 1 (p * frec * μr * μ0 * s) 1/2 where * μr * μ0 = magnetic permeability, where * μr is equal to 1 for matter mixed and s = material conductivity in mho / m Attenuation = exp ("d? st 1 '° Phase change = cos (ot + d? stanc? a / d) expressed in radians The attenuation and phase change of each sample were tested on a frequency scale of 5 to 70 kHz The test followed an interactive progression, where in each successive manufactured sample, modification of the mixed tube properties increased the electromagnetic transparency at 20 kHz. The first few interactive steps served as a mark for the properties of the mixed material tube. Table 8 shows the results of attenuation and phase change tests conducted on the tube samples. The results are based on the individual response of each tube and were not normalized to a fixed working thickness. Table 9 presents the results after normalization at a working thickness of 6.3 cm. dn o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 1 §2 * - é _ oSo o o ** oSo8o No, o, o8oso o . o o o o e o o u_ «o» - ß mnsn «ß NN nt _ 88 § 8 Figures 1 and 4 are graphs of the results of attenuation and phase change for the samples of tubes of mixed material Figures 3 and 4 show the results normalized to a working thickness of 635 cm Figure 3 presents an approximation of the normalized attenuation results on a scale of linear x axis and linear axis Results There are three main parameters in the composition of tube under investigation 1 Coaxial alignment of carbon fibers 2 Concentration percentage of carbon fiber 3 Resin contribution to conductivity The results show that in the case of Sample Tubes B and C, the coaxial alignment has a major contribution to determine the response of a tube sample From the Table 9 to 20 kHz, as the attenuation values are 0 1248 and 04834 respectively for the Sample Tubes B and C In the Sample Tube D, the alignment effect Coaxial ion was reduced to a minimum and the response improved to 07064 Comparing the results of Sample Tubes B, E and F, the reduction in percentage concentration of carbon fiber improved the response from 07064 to 0 7639 in addition, the change response of phase for Tube Samples E and F indicate a dramatic change in the behavior of the phase on previous samples. This behavior can be attributed to the expected non-linear conductivity reaction with a carbon fiber percentage concentration of minimum threshold showing that the response Phase change is much simpler at this threshold than the amplitude response. In the case of amplitude response, its insensitivity to the threshold is also moderated by the permanent contribution of the light coaxial fiber alignment. The almost identical responses of the tubes of Samples E and F indicate that the choice of the resin system has a negligible contribution to the conductivity response. The Sample Tube F, with the percentage of carbon fiber reduced to 25%, showed a response of attenuation of 07651 and had no effect on phase changes Mixed Material Pipe Joints / end fittings In addition to the physical and electromagnetic properties of the mixed material pipe, the mixed material pipe can be easily integrated into an existing sounding column. Consequently, The design incorporates a union with extreme fittings for the integration of the mixed material pipe to an existing drilling column as shown in Figures 5 6 and 7 Figure 5 is a joint drawing of the mixed material pipe and extreme fittings according to with the invention showing the tube of basic mixed material 12 assembled with the end fittings 14 The outer casing 1 6 is shown connecting the basic mixed material tube 12 with the end fittings 14 Figure 6 is a cross-sectional drawing of an end fitting showing details of the fittings. Figures 6A and 6B show details of the cross sections of the end fittings on lines 6A-6A and 6B-6B respectively. Figure 6C shows the preferred dimensions of the end fittings for integration with a drill string. Figure 7 is a drawing of an alternative embodiment of the tube of mixed material / assembled end fitting. As for the design of the basic mixed material tube, the results of the critical design for the extreme accessories include body tissues and strength as well as load transfer between the body section of mixed material and extreme accessories.
According to the invention, the joint is designed to provide separate load paths for axial compression and tension loads from the auxiliary body of mixed material to the end fittings in order to avoid falling into a joined joint during the life of the fitting. extreme. The compression load is brought from the basic mixed material tube 12 directly against the bearing surfaces 20, the axial tension loads are brought against the axial tension surface 22, the torsional forces are given against the torsional transfer surfaces 24 and the bending stress forces are brought against the bending stress transfer surface 26. Flexure tension transfer surface 26 provides a section over which the flexure load is transferred from the end fitting 14 to the mixed material tube 16. This surface is required to prevent rotational bending fatigue in the end fitting 14. Rotational bending fatigue is a major cause of failure in drilling tools. The surface of the bending stress transfer has a maximum diameter of 15.24 cm to maintain the required resistance in the tube of mixed material. This diameter is made as large as possible to minimize the bending stress in the shoulder 28 It has been shown in order to avoid fatigue cracking, the minimum diameter of a reduced section of a drilling aid is such that its moment of inertia (I) is not less than 29.5% of the calculated using the OD nominal drilling aid in this case. this minimum diameter is 12.7 cm. The diameter of 10 79 cm shown is less than this minimum of 12 7cm and consequently is in section of the end fitting can not bear the full friction load. Consequently, the bending stress transfer surface 26 is tapered at 21 15 cm per meter to allow the bending load to be transferred from the end fitting 14 to the mixed material tube 16 before the diameter of 10 79 cm. The transfer surfaces Torque 24 provide a balance between the torsional capacity of the end fittings 14 and the mixed material pipe 16, maximizing the overall torsional capacity of the assembly 10 The diameter of 10 74 cm is the minimum required to meet the requirements of torsion for end fittings 14 Using this minimum diameter results in the maximum area available for the torsional transfer surface 24. Axial tension surfaces are also provided with axial surfaces 22. It is preferred that end fittings 14 be manufactured to from non-magnetic material to facilitate MDP tools. However, they must be manufactured from AISI 4145H MOD if the magnetic properties do not concern. Theory and Union Design As indicated, the metal / mixed material joint is designed to transfer torsion, axial compression, tension and bending loads. The design and analysis of the end fitting considered the following. 1. minimum thickness of metal required to carry cargo; 2. Interlocking pressure for mixed material in the tapered section of the fixture, 3 ejection load created by the tapered metal fixture. Using an octahedron shear stress criterion, the minimum diameter end fitting was determined assuming that low performance and maximum load performance was not allowed. The minimum safety factor used in the analysis was 1.0 as stresses were calculated for the impact environment and it was assumed that the maximum torque access load occurs at the same time Octahedral Stress Strain Voltage, and Load Condition 360000 axial load and 270000 kg in torque Torque dimensions External diameter = 1079 cm Internal diameter = 571 cm s = axial tension = load / area = 360000/25 9 = 5508 kg / cm2 t = shear stress = T (OD / 2J) = 270000 (425) / 408 (295) = 303696 kg / cm2 Y + (3) 1097282 = 761349 kg / cm2 Performance resistance (minimum) = 7733 kg / cm2 Safety factor = 110,000 / 108,300 = 1 01 The design of the tapered section of the accessory was based on the concept described in 'The NCF (No Cut Fiber) Cooupling', W Rumberger, B Spencer, Presented at the American Helicopter Society Meeting On Composites, June, 1985, Stamford, Connecticut Figure 8 shows how the torsional load was reacted by the polygon shape on the end fitting A similar free body is used for axial load except that the load on the surfaces of the polygon is constant, not triangular and both strips are used to react with the axial stress load T = (dμP + PL ) F, where T = applied torque = 270000 μ = coefficient of friction = 2 d = 6 01 cm (average) L = 0.83 cm (average) F = number of flat parts = 8 Solving for PP = 42169 kg Using the normal force of the taper polygon section of accessories the bearing tension of mixed material sBt due to the torsional load can be calculated. Area of flat parts = 32.15 cm2 sBT 72169 / 32.15 cm2 sBT = 1143.78 kg / cm2 The bearing tension aided by the tension load on the auxiliary drill is calculated by the tension load on the drilling aid is then calculated and adds to the stresses determined before for the torsional load. This analysis includes the additional area of the conical taper in the internal trap. This trap was not included in the calculation to make the torsional load react because it is not a polygon. Using a similar free-body diagram as previously presented, the bearing load on the flat parts and tapered taper can be calculated for the load axial of 360000 kg as shown below. sBT = load / area area of flat parts = (8) 37.15 = 296.7 area of conical taper = 185.95 total area = 483.16 normal load = 360000 / 17.3 kg / cm sBT = 360000 / 17.3 kgcm) (33.70) snt = 2900.57 kq / cm2 The total bearing tension on the tapered sections of the attachment are: tapered polygon bearing tension = 1143.78 + 2900.57 = 4044.35 kq / cm2 taper internal taper bearing tension = 2900.57 kg / cm2 The ultimate bearing strength is 2700 kcm2 . Since the calculated bearing tension is created by an impact and margin load it is considered adequate even taking into account the possible non-uniform load stress between the two tapered sections. Then, using the normal load, the ejection load can be calculated for both combined axial and torsional loads. Total ejection load, KL KL = F * Pcos15 + Tension load / tan15 = 8 (42169.5 kg) cos15 + 360000 / tan15 KL = 1669500 Using a permissible voltage of 3886.25 kcm2 (1.75 x 5515. 000 kcm2) for the carbon fiber, the required area of fiber of curvature for the ejection load to react can be calculated as follows. area = 1669500 / 3386.25 area = 45.60 cm2 The accessory is designed to allow the proper bending fiber. To improve load transfer and reduce stress concentrations, the fiber of curvature is intercepted with the helical winding fiber. The last load condition to consider is the compression load. When only the area of mixed material adjacent to the end of the metal fitting to transfer the compression load is considered, the resulting bearing stress can be calculated as follows: sB = load / area = 13500 (p / 4 * (33.86 = 16.12) sB = 125l8.37l kg / cm2 The last one was established at 387.00 Kcm 2. The stress analysis shows that the drilling aid is properly designed for all loading conditions.
Manufacture of the Tube of Mixed Material with Integral Extreme Accessories The manufacture of the assembly 10 is achieved according to the following general methodology. It is understood that within the context of the invention, various types of fibers, fiber orientation and binders can be used for the particulars of a design. After the construction and cutting to the length of the basic inner tube 12, 1 A metal rod is placed inside the tube of basic mixed material and the end fittings 14 are placed on the metal rod The flange 29 is inserted inside each end of the tube of basic mixed material 12 2 The end plates are attached to the metal rod to close the tube of basic mixed material 12 and end fittings 14 together to place them on a filament winder 3 The outer surface of the tube of mixed material 12 and the axial tension 22, torsional transfer 24 and flexural stress transfer surfaces 26 of the end fittings 14 are filaments wound with fiber impregnated with resin with a combination of helical wound fiber and curved fiber to an external diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the accessories extremes 14 Other Design Considerations During the filament winding or following the termination of The filament winding can be mixed with an abrasion resistant coating within the binder or added after curing the assembly on the outer surfaces of the mixed material tube. The abrasion resistant coating is preferably a resistant smoothing coating such as ArmorStone ™ CeraTrowel from DuraWear Corporation A stabilizer / wear pad 30 may be used on either the end fittings 14 on the mixed material body 16 in order to minimize the wear of mixed material The stabilizing / wear rod 30 may also include additional sensors such as rutile focusing lenses 32 as shown in Figure 7 for use with microimpulse imaging radar equipment. Stabilizers 30 may also be integral or removable from assembly 10. Diagram 40 inside the hole of the conjunt or 10 Examples of normal sensor equipment such as a neutron source and detector 42, gamma ray detector 44, resistivity component 46 and acoustic variation equipment 48 are also shown The ends of the assembly 10 are shown with threaded surfaces the ends of the assembly 10 are also shown with respective threaded surfaces 50 and 52 for the integration of the end fittings 14 with a drill string. In addition, a resin that includes a quantity of ceramic powder mixed in the resin is contemplated to increase the wear properties of the drill. mixed material Metal Bonding Seal / Mixed Material The joint / metal bond seal can also be implemented on a number of bonding surfaces using adhesives, gaskets and / or rings without affecting the function of the surfaces An example of the seal system using a ring is shown in figure 9 In this embodiment, the end fittings are in two components, an internal accessory 14a and an external accessory 14b joined by threads 14c. The basic mixed material tube 12 and layers of mixed outer wrap material 16 are assembled as described above in the internal accessory 14a. At the junction between the internal and external fittings 14a and 14b, the o-ring 14d is provided which can be compressed by tightening the end fitting 14b against the internal fitting 14a. An additional method for sealing the inner surfaces of mixed material and joint pipe can be used in which a sodium silicate solution is pressurized into the whole after the fiber layers are cured so that the sodium silicate is introduced into any cracks or empty spaces in the tube of mixed material in the joint and then undergoes a secondary cure. In addition, the seal can be achieved by using a removable tube running through the tube hole of mixed material and extreme metal fittings. In the case of the tube that is a tube of mixed material; The tube can run the whole length of the tube of mixed material and extreme accessories. This tube of internal mixed material could be provided with seals on its outer diameter at both ends to seal the inner tube with respect to tube of external mixed material and end fittings and therefore the joint of mixed material / end fitting. Alternatively, the metal sleeves can also be used for joint seal effect of mixed material / metal. In this case, two separate sleeves can be used at both ends of the mixed material / end accessory structure by translating with the end fitting and a short section of the internal mixed material tube that holds the mixed material section to the middle of the Tube Appropriate seals could be provided on each end of the sleeve to seal the joint of mixed material / metal Previous Tension of Metal Bonding / Mixed Material In addition, pre-stressing the joint of mixed material / end fitting can be implemented in order to reduce the risk of movement of the mixed material with respect to the end fitting while under load. Several methods can be used for the implementation of pre-tension. For example, after the tube of internal mixed material has been assembled in the metal end fittings this set can be compressed longitudinally before and during the wrapping of other layers of fiber Est or can be achieved by compressing the end fittings and tube of basic mixed material while these components are on the assembly rod and maintaining the appropriate compression force during the wrapping and healing of the outer layers. After curing, the compression load is released starting thus a tension load on the outer tube and therefore a compression load on the tapered strips on the metal end fittings Alternatively or concurrently, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the mixed material pipe can be made less than that of the extreme fitting of steel. In this situation, during curing and after cooling, the tube of mixed material could shrink faster than the metal end fitting. Consequently, if the cure temperature is above the operating temperature of the drill collar, the mixed material could exert a compression load (radial) on the metal end fitting. Furthermore, the geometry of the end fitting could be adapted in such a way that a bolt nut system is implemented to impart a compression load on the taper strips of the end fittings. This can be achieved using systems as shown in Figures 9 and 9A where the end fittings are provided in two sections with an accessory inner end 14a and outer 14b As shown, a compression surface 14 is provided on the outer end fitting 14b which can be pressed against the outer fiber layers 16 after curing whereby a compression load is imparted onto the straps of the outer fiber 14a. taper of metal end fittings A further example of a method for pre-pressing the joined end n is shown in Figure 11 whereby the end fittings are also provided as two sections as an internal end fitting 14a and external 14b In this embodiment, a threaded section 14c is provided over the internal and external end fittings The external section is provided with a geometry so that the flexural stress transfer surface 26 is incorporated on the external end fitting As shown, the outer end fitting can be pressed against the internal fitting Therefore, after wrapping the outer fiber layers around the The internal and external end fittings, the external end fitting can be pressed against the inner end fitting thereby imparting a compression and radial load on the joint. Static Test for Mixed Material Tube with Extreme Accessories The static test of a mixed material drilling aid of 11 25 kg with OD of 1714 cm and end fittings was completed as follows a) Axial Load Test A cyclization test was used of axial load to evaluate the behavior of the tube of mixed material during the cyclic tension and load of compression The tension / compression test was carried out in a tubular test system (SPT) of 1 57 million kilos controlled hydraulically Accessories were made Test of specific purposes to connect the specimen ends to the SPT and cross head actuator The applied load was measured via SPT differential pressure transducer (serial number 135841) for the load scale 1500 kN used for this test.

The Auxiliary Drilling Mixed underwent normal drilling conditions as well as underwent a charting operation in which it was compiled They plowed the improved transparency and propagation properties of the drilling aid with that of the all steel diagnostic assistant. The test involved assembling a mixed material drilling aid in a lower orifice assembly of a surface drilling column and leading to the drilling column back to the well at a depth of 650 meters The presence of the auxiliary drilling of mixed material on the drill auxiliary did not affect the operation of the normal equipment of 1) transfer, 2) rotate the board, 3) hold with power the drill pipe, 4) chain the drill pipe apart or 5) circulate fluid in the well At the depth of 650 meters, a neutron-gamma-ray tool was compensated in the auxiliary drilling of mixed material and a surface-to-surface operation The results of the operation of the graph in comparison with the auxiliary drill all steel indicated 1 Improved gamma-ray sensitivity The 635 cm thick mixed-material wall section introduces minimum gamma-ray attenuation In comparison, a 2 03 cm-thick steel wall attenuates gamma-ray propagation up to 60% A steel wall 6 35 cm thick is essentially opaque to range 2 gamma ray propagation measurements Improved neutron sensing The mixed material drilling aid has lower attenuation properties compared to steel Neutron porosity measurements improve from within a auxiliary drilling of mixed material as the fiber of mixed material physically displaces the fluid from the well thus reducing the neutron moderation effect of well fluid 3 Improved electromagnetic propagation The mixed material drilling aid has superior electromagnetic transparency compared to Also, as in the result 2) above, the propagation electromagnetic is also helped by the physical displacement of the well fluid. Figure 12 shows a comparison of gamma-ray record between conventional cable line and a log while downloading. As you can see from this Figure, the gamma ray registration between the two measurement techniques.
