Detailed description of the invention
Embodiments of the present invention provide the stator for mud motor and stator insert, Its preparation method and the mud motor including this stator.The various embodiments of the present invention are permissible In wellsite system.
Wellsite system
Fig. 1 shows that the present invention may be used for wellsite system therein.This wellsite system can be land On or sea.In the system that this is exemplary, boring 11 is by rotating in known manner Hole and formed in subsurface formations (subsurface formations).Embodiments of the present invention are also Directional drilling can be used, as described below.
Drill string (drill string) 12 be suspended from boring 11 in and there is bottom hole assemblies (bottom hole Assembly) (BHA) 100 (it is included in the drill bit 105 of its lower end).Surface system include platform and Be positioned at boring 11 above headframe device 10, this device 10 include rotating disk 16, kelly bar 17, Suspension hook 18 and rotary swivel 19.Drill string 12 by being provided the rotating disk of energy by unshowned device 16 rotate, and rotating disk 16 engages with kelly bar 17 in the upper end of drill string.Drill string 12 is from being connected to trip Suspension hook 18 on fly block (the most not shown) hangs, through kelly bar 17 and rotary swivel 19 (its Drill string is allowed to rotate relative to suspension hook).As it is well known, top drive system can selectively be used.
In embodiment preferably, surface system farther includes to be stored in and is formed in well site Pit 27 in drilling fluid or mud 26.Pump 29 carries via the port in faucet 19 and bores Well liquid 26 is to the inside of drill string 12, so that drilling fluid is downward through drill string 12, such as orientation arrow Shown in 8.Drilling fluid discharges drill string 12 via the port in drill bit 15, and passes through drill string subsequently Annular region between outside and the wall of a borehole is circulated up, as shown in orienting arrow 9.With this public affairs The mode known, drilling fluid lubricating drill bit along with carrying rock when it returns to pit 27 with recirculation Bits (formation cuttings) are until surface.
The bottom hole assemblies 100 of shown embodiment includes well logging during (LWD) module 120, measurement while drilling (MWD) module 130, rotary steering system (roto-steerable system) and Motor and drill bit 105.
LWD module 120 is contained in the drill collar (drill collar) of specific type as known in the art In, and the logging tool (logging tool) of one or more known types can be comprised.Can also Understand, more than one LWD and/or MWD module can be used, such as, such as table at 120A Show.(in the text, the explanation to 120 position modules can also selectively refer to 120A position The module at place.) LWD module include for measure, process and storage information and for surface The ability of device talk.In the present embodiment, LWD module includes pressure gauge.
MWD module 130 is contained in the drill collar of specific type the most as known in the art, and The device of one or more characteristics for measuring drill string and drill bit can be comprised.MWD tool enters One step includes the equipment (not shown) for producing electric energy for downhole system.This generally can include by The mud turbine generator (also referred to as " MTR ") of drilling liquid flow energy supply, it will be understood that can To use other power and/or battery system.In the present embodiment, MWD module includes one Or multiple following kind of measurement apparatus: weight-on-bit measuring device, torque measuring device, vibration measurement Device, shock measurement device, stick slip measuring device (stick slip measuring device), direction Measurement apparatus and inclination measurement apparatus.
Here, the particularly advantageous purposes of this system is to turn to or " directed drilling " knot with controlled Close.In this embodiment, it is provided that rotary steering subsystem 150 (Fig. 1).Directed drilling is well The eye approach taked natural with it deviates wittingly.In other words, directed drilling be drill string turn to It is advanced along required direction.
Directed drilling is such as conducive to offshore drilling, because it makes it possible to bore many from single platform Well.Directed drilling also allows for by oil reservoirs horizontal drilling.Horizontal drilling makes the well can Passing through oil reservoirs longer length, this improves the productivity ratio of well.
Directional drilling system can be used for vertical drilling operation equally.Generally, due to being penetrated ground The power of the change that the uncertain character of layer or drill bit are stood, drill bit can be diverted away from plan Wellbore trace.When this deviation occurs, directional drilling system may be used to drill bit and returns to former road On line.
Known directional drilling methods includes using rotary steering system (" RSS ").In RSS, Drill string rotates from surface, and downhole hardware makes drill bit along required direction boring.Make drill string rotating Greatly reduce the situation that drill string stops and blocks in boring procedure.For creeping in ground The rotary steerable drilling system of the wellhole of changed course can usually be categorized as " pointing to drill bit (point-the-bit) " system or " backup drill bit (push-the-bit) " system.
Pointing in bit system, the rotary shaft of drill bit is along the general direction (general of new bore Direction) the local axle (local axis) of BHA is deviateed.This hole is according to by upper and lower stable The usual three point geometry shapes that device contact and drill bit limit extend.And between drill bit and lower regulator The drill bit shaft deflection angle that limited distance combines results in the non-collinear condition needed for curve.Exist And can be included in BHA near lower regulator to realize many modes of this purpose Point at stationary curved or the flexure of drill bit power transmission shaft that is distributed between upper and lower regulator.? In its preferable form, drill bit need not laterally cut, because drill bit shaft is along the direction of bent hole Rotate continuously.Point to drill bit type rotary steering system and their examples how to operate are described in United States Patent (USP) 6394193,6364034,6244361,6158529,6092610 and 5113953 Number and U.S. Patent Application Publication 2002/0011359 and No. 2001/0052428 in.
In backup drill bit type rotary steering system, usually not it is used for making drill bit shaft from bottom drill tool The specially appointed mechanism of combination local axle deviation.On the contrary, it is necessary to non-thread condition by making or In lower regulator arbitrary or both apply partially along the direction of the direction orientation preferentially extended relative to hole Mental and physical efforts or displacement and realize.Again, also exist and can wrap to realize many modes of this purpose Include non-rotating (relative to hole) eccentric stabilizer (approach based on displacement) and execute along required steering direction Afterburning eccentric actuators on drill bit.Again, it is diverted through in drill bit and at least two additionally Contact between produce non co-linearity and realize.In its preferable form, drill bit needs side cut Cut to produce the hole of bending.Backup type rotary steering system and their examples how to operate are described in United States Patent (USP) 6089332,5971085,5803185,5778992,5706905,5695015, 5685379、5673763、5603385、5582259、5553679、5553678、5520255 With in No. 5265682.
