Detailed description of the invention
In the accompanying drawings, identical Reference numeral is for identifying same or analogous target.
As shown in fig. 1, the drill string 1 be included according to the AJD system of AJD assembly of the present invention in the well 2 of target is comprised.This target is here sub-surface earth layer 5, in particular for providing one for the formation of for the production of the well of well going out mineral hydrocarbon.This drill string 1 is connected to device of rotation driving (not shown, but represented by arrow 10) at ground 8 place, thereon end, and is connected to lasso 13 in another lower end, and this lasso comprises according to adjusting device 14 of the present invention.This lasso 13 also can be provided with controller unit, with the inside making this controller unit be positioned at hole.Alternately, this controller unit can be positioned at the position different from having abrasive jet bit in drill string, or can be positioned on ground 8 place.
In the lower end of lasso 13, the abrasive jet bit 16 with injection nozzle 18 is connected to lasso 13 or becomes one with lasso 13.This drill string 1 has the passage 20 for fluid, and this fluid passage is communicated with injection nozzle fluid with the passage 24 of abrasive jet bit 16 via the passage 22 of lasso 13.Nozzle 18 is oriented in central area obliquely, arrange prejudicially relative to the pivot center of drill bit 16 to make shock zone, in this case, make abradant jet rotate in hole and cause jet 19 and shock zone to move along substantially circular track in hole.Preferably, shock zone and the center of rotation of this bias are overlapping, with the erosion dynamic making the centre of this well also stand abradant jet.
Injection nozzle 18 is arranged in above optional foot 29, and tilts with the angle of slope relative to pivot center 15 °-30 ° relative to the longitudinal direction of this system, but can use other angles.Preferably, this angle of slope is about 21 °, and it for being optimum for the bottom by making whole instrument utilize abrasive material to corrode this well in the inner axial rotation of well.
In the present embodiment, abrasive jet bit also comprises the recirculating system for abrasive grain, this recirculating system totally represents with 30, it has import 32 and outlet 34, this import is communicated with annular space 33 fluid between abrasive jet bit 16 and well 2, and the mixing chamber 36 at mixing place 37 place being arranged in passage 24 is led in this outlet.
Optional foot is set to distance borehole bottom one distance, and suitably comprises for making drilling fluid and chip with the gap of upwards flowing via annular space 33.This abrasive jet bit 18 can be such as the head such as described in WO2008/113843, WO2008/113844.
In operation, this system can work as follows.The drilling fluid comprising abrasive grain (such as shot) carries out pumping from the surface (such as Earth Surface) of target by the vertical passage 20 of drill string 2 by suitable pump (not shown).Part or all of drilling fluid is directed into injection nozzle 18, produces abradant jet 19 at this injection nozzle place.Abradant jet is ejected with impinge upon earth strata.This stratum is etched in shock zone due to abradant jet 19 impinge upon earth strata 5, thus deepens well 2.
Meanwhile, this abradant jet is around pivot axis.Thus, this shock zone moves along circular trace in hole, can be etched to make this stratum at all azimuths place.By adjusting the erosion dynamic of abradant jet, the oriented control of height can be realized.
By keeping the erosion dynamic of abradant jet constant, stratum is corroded equably in all sides in hole, and thus this hole is directly dug.When adjusting erosion dynamic, when the supply concentration especially by adjustment abrasive grain adjusts erosion dynamic, orientation will not be caused with motion (such as by rotating) nonsynchronous adjustment of the shock zone of jet.Thus, by getting out straight hole section relative to rotating on asynchronous Adjustment principle.But the change of the formation characteristics aspect in the distortion of the rotation aspect of excavating tools or bore region or other reasons can uneven erosions in causing hole.Need by the correction of adjustment erosion dynamic travel direction to compensate this unintentional uneven erosion.The erosion dynamic of this abradant jet is also adjustable to just excavate bending hole wittingly.When abradant jet is directed to impact stratum in the region of the larger erosion of needs to perform adjustment in direction, the erosion dynamic of this abradant jet can be increased periodically, thus produce larger erosion ratio in this region.Alternately or combinedlyly, when abradant jet directed for impacting the stratum in the region of the less erosion of needs time, the erosion dynamic of this abradant jet can be reduced.
With higher concentration from injection nozzle 10 exhale in identical locality (spot) by making abrasive grain and obtain directionality effect when each rotation of drill string 2 with drill bit 16.Thus, this borehole bottom 39 is corroded unevenly, and this causes being advanced further of well 9 to be offset continuously by the longitudinal direction relative to well 1.
Adjustable has the stream of abrasive grain to obtain pulse effects.That is, when each whole circle of drill string 1 and drill bit 4 rotates, this jet can comprise a stage of the abrasive grain with higher concentration and have at least one stage of abrasive grain of low concentration.Also possibly, a higher concentration is only provided for each selected integer circle rotation.Other schemes of preferential attack can use when arranging more than one injection nozzle.When arranging more than one injection nozzle, they suitably provide the impact of asymmetric distribution in well.
The adjustment of concentration c represents that concentration depends on the time, c=c(t).1,2,3 until 10 or 20, or more circle rotate, this adjustment can have repetition period.The time range will considered for specific adjusted can be the duration that a circle of drill string or some (as 10,100 or more, 1000 or more) circle rotate.Under the longer time, this adjustment can be changed, or is even stopped in some period, to carry out drilling well along the desired trajectory that can comprise straight part.
Thus, preferably, this adjusting device comprises adjustment control device, and this adjustment control device is arranged for controlling this adjusting device, adjusts explicitly to make the position of the shock zone on the erosion dynamic of abradant jet and selected track.
In order to determine the position of shock zone, this system can be provided with position sensor (such as well logging during sensor), for providing the signal representing abradant jet position.In order to determine the current drilling direction through stratum, this system can be provided with orientation sensor (such as well logging during sensor), for provide represent formed in soil layer hole along the signal in direction.
This orientation sensor can be set to one or its form combined in following sensor: orientation sensor, and it provides indication device relative to the signal in the direction of reference vector; Position sensor, it provides the signal represented relative to one or more position coordinateses of reference point; Density of earth formations sensor, the information of the change of its stratigraphic type near a distance provides or formation component; Or any other sensor be applicable to.
More much smaller than the situation of the system removed based on mechanical rock based on the mechanical force on the well system of abradant jet.This has the following advantages: these sensors can be arranged very near excavating tools, thus make may comparatively early and the adjustment control device that communicated to by signal exactly.These sensors can such as be arranged in identical chamber with adjustment control device.
Alternately, abradant jet advances through the position on stratum and/or direction can be determined based on the parameter that can obtain on ground 8, and this parameter comprises moment of torsion on drill string 2 and the orientation of drill string 2 and the axial location of drill string 2 and speed.
Also can decide to change drilling direction or revise via the operator of the orientation system at ground place.When coming from the signal of DHLWD sensor, can adopt multi-user's pulse remote sensing system or other suitable data communication systems that data are sent to ground.Via similar data link, control signal can be sent to downhole control, and this downhole control triggers a series of control actions needed for directed drilling correction expected.
Propeller (not shown) be advantageously provided for by abrasive jet system by the bottom 39 being pressed in hole 2.In order to avoid the forfeiture of the bending and oriented control of the unnecessary wearing and tearing on abrasive jet bit 6, system, pressing force large unlike the power kept at bottom place required for this abrasive jet bit 16 too many time, acquisition best effects.Therefore, this pressing force is preferably only enough to offset the frictional force in the axial recoil strength of abradant jet and propeller and the frictional force between abrasive jet system and hole wall.Typically, this pressing force is aptly lower than 10kN.
Suitable abradant jet comprises mixture, and this mixture comprises the abrasive grain of fluid (such as drilling fluid) and a certain controlled concentration.The erosion dynamic of jet is relevant to the total output belonged in the abrasive grain that becomes entrained in mixture.This depend on abrasive grain mass flow and depend on abrasive grain speed square.
The erosion dynamic of abradant jet is adjusted by the mass flow of abrasive grain in adjustment abradant jet.This can realize advantageous by the concentration of the abrasive grain in adjustment mixture.When the quantity impacting the similar particles on region in the unit interval is larger, owing to will corrode more stratum, total erosion dynamic of this abradant jet will increase.In adjustment mixture, the concentration of abrasive grain does not affect the Mechanical Contact active force between well system and stratum.
The less change of the concentration of abrasive grain can be enough to realize orientation, such as adjustment period between be changed to 20wt%(percentage by weight between the Cmax of particle and Cmin) particle or less, 10wt% or less, 5wt% or less.When these particles have substantially the same size/weight and/or density, these accompanying drawings can equally with the vol%(percent by volume of abrasive grain) represent.
Still see Fig. 1, abrasive grain can be entrained in and return in stream by the drilling fluid of excavated hole, and this returns the annular space 33 flowed between such as passing hole 1 and well system (2,13,16) and advances.
The concentration of the abrasive grain on ground is turned back in order to reduce omnidistance transport, this well system (especially abrasive jet bit 16) can be provided with EGR (schematically showing with 30), this EGR be arranged to by from impinge upon earth strata downstream return the abrasive grain of stream at least partially again recycling turn back in abradant jet 10.The abrasive grain be recycled such as can mix mutually with the new stream containing the abrasive grain supplying concentration in mixing chamber, and new stream and recycling abrasive grain all enter in this mixing chamber to obtain the injection fluid mixture containing the abrasive grain spraying concentration.
This abrasive grain preferably includes or comprises magnetisable material, i.e. paramagnetic material or ferrimagnet (such as such as shot or steel sand).Also will be represented as " magnetic material " or " magnetic-particle " this this, although it does not need to have permanent magnetism.This recirculating system can to comprise coming in comfortable annular space 33 upwards flowing and via outlet 34, particle is sent to the suction magnetic particle of the drilling fluid of mixing chamber 36.Usually, suitable EGR such as has description in WO2002/034653, WO2005/005766, WO2008/119821, WO2008/113844.
According to the present invention, in the supply concentration of upstream (passage namely above mixing chamber 36 20,22, in 24a) the adjustment abrasive grain in mixing place 37.Thus, in jet 19, the injection concentration of abrasive grain is adjusted, and this injection concentration depends on supply concentration.
Therefore adjusting device 14 is arranged along the passage 20,22,24 of drill string, in the embodiment in figure 1, is arranged in the upper end of abrasive jet bit 16 or lucky upstream.
In the embodiment in figure 1, adjust in lasso 13, show several embodiments of lasso in figs. 2-6.
In the embodiment of fig. 2, lasso 13 has non-magnetic housing 111, and this lasso has the upper inlet 112 that passage 20 fluid for the upper part with drill string is communicated with, and has the lower part outlet 113 for being communicated with passage 24 fluid of abrasive jet bit.Through admission passage 22 extends between this import and outlet.Two are furnished with to electric supportive device: electromagnet 115,116 at through admission passage 22 side.Often pair of electromagnet 115,116 is located along the part of inclined orientation a little of this through admission passage 22.By the adjustment controllably activated or these electromagnet of stopping using realize the abrasive particulate concentration flowing through this through admission passage 22.This is by starting or stopping the electric current being supplied to electromagnet to realize.This electric current also can change and/or changes between different nonzero values more smoothly, but the latter is not too preferred, because need the constant power from power source to supply.
Thus, in the collection surface of passage 22 wall, magnetic field is adjusted between the first value and second are worth, when the first value, at least some magnetic-particle is collected in from fluid mixture collects surface, and when the second value, magnetic-particle is discharged into fluid mixture from collection surface.First value is the high value in magnetic field and the second value is the lower value in magnetic field.Should know, collecting particle on surface can along the movement of this surface under the effect of streaming flow, but compared with the period of lower or zero magnetic field intensity, within the period of higher magnetic field intensity, more particle is present in collection on the surface.Represent with 114 and only collect surface for one.Preferably, when magnetic field is in its first value, magnetic-particle is collected by surface-supported major part, preferably collected by surface-supported at least 25% region, more preferably collected by surface-supported at least 50% region, even more preferably collected by surface-supported at least 75% region (such as substantially whole region).Preferably, when magnetic field is in its second value, magnetic-particle is from surface-supported major part release, preferably from surface-supported at least 25% region release, more preferably from surface-supported at least 50% region release, even more preferably from surface-supported at least 75% region (such as substantially whole region) release.Preferably; when magnetic field is in the first value; do not have magnetic-particle or only very the magnetic-particle of fraction again carried secretly by the fluid flowed along stayed surface, so such as collect again being carried secretly during magnetic field is in its first value less than 25% of particle on a support surface.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 A, B, permanent magnet 117,118 can be used as the magnetic holding apparatus of through admission passage 22 side.These magnet can swing around axis of oscillation 123, to obtain in Fig. 3 A and the diverse location shown in Fig. 3 B.In position in figure 3 a, magnet 117,118 by swing away from this through admission passage 22, can this means that major part or whole abrasive magnetic particles will pass through along passage 22.On the contrary, in position in figure 3b, magnet 117,118 swingable towards and the collection surface 114 at wall place against through admission passage 22, by this way, the magnetic field of collecting surface is higher, and part or all abrasive magnetic particles is collected in described surface.By such as changing between the position shown in Fig. 3 A, B by means of mechanical actuator (not shown), corrective action can be realized because stream presents the abrasive grain of variable concentrations.
The embodiment of Fig. 4 comprises electromagnet 119, and this electromagnet is connected to so-called paramagnetism collector 120, thus together form magnetic holding apparatus.In addition, case 121 linkage that holds battery or be connected with external power source and electronic control unit.Under the effect of control unit, this electromagnet is encouraged by battery/power source, thus the magnetic field at paramagnetism collector place becomes enough strong, collects on paramagnetism collector 20 to make abrasive magnetic particles.By changing the activation of this electromagnet, magnetic particle concentration in through admission passage 14 can be changed so that the adjustment needed for realizing.This paramagnetism collector can comprise the permanent magnet provided compared with low magnetic field intensity, and this magnetic field intensity is still not enough to by powder collection at surperficial 114 places of collection, thus in this case round collector 120.Therefore, be enough to be used in collecting in the magnetic field intensity of collecting the appropriateness increase that surface is provided by electromagnet 119.
Embodiment shown in Fig. 5 A and 5B comprises permanent magnet 119a, and this permanent magnet can be connected (Fig. 5 B) by means of magnetic connector 122 or disconnect (Fig. 5 A) with two paramagnetism collectors 120, thus together form magnetic holding apparatus.By changing disconnecting between state and connection status of connector 22, the concentration of abrasive grain in through admission passage 14 can be changed.
Embodiment shown in Fig. 6 A, 6B comprises permanent magnet 119a, and this permanent magnet can be connected to two paramagnetism collector 120 by means of connector 122, thus jointly forms magnetic holding apparatus.Region outside collector 120 or annular space 124 should be enough large to collect enough a large amount of abrasive grains, to change the concentration of the abrasive grain being supplied to drill bit in the single rotation of drill string significantly.Replace electromagnet 119a, the electromagnet (not shown) selectively encouraged can be used.
Replace the paramagnetism connector in mobile Fig. 5 and 6, electromagnet they self can move up and down, with paramagnetism collector connect/disconnect.Alternately or additionally, only in two shown paramagnetism collectors 120 can be arranged.Equally maybe advantageously, additional magnetic guide (not shown) is mounted to be parallel to this magnet, to form magnetic shortcut by opening connector.This will be avoided when connector is opened from the particle flow in the magnetic interference surrounding annular space of the openend of connector.

The advantage of the embodiment of Fig. 5 and 6 is: need an only room with electronic equipment; The fluid of the At The Height of paramagnetism collector is very large through region, it reduces the average speed of fluid around this device and particle; Only collector activation or stop using between switching need power, and be not activate (stopping using) itself need power.In the 5 embodiment of figure 5, magnetic holding apparatus is coaxial with housing.Be favourable for manufacture and for being connected to other (electronics) devices, these other devices are such as measuring transducer and electronic control unit.
The design of magnet, magnetic connector and collector and material should be mated with one another, do not waste to make magnetic flux and also magnetic field intensity outside collector enough large with the ferromagnetic particle temporarily collected along collector in stream.Collecting surface should be enough large, to collect enough a large amount of abrasive grains, thus can change the concentration arriving the particle of drill bit in a circle of drill string rotates significantly.
In one exemplary embodiment, the rotation of drill string can typically adopt 1 second.When using down-hole EGR, the granule density being pumped across drill string is typically in 0.1% to 4%(percent by volume) scope in (such as 0.4vol% to 2vol%), this is based on the shot consideration in aqueous fluid (such as water).So the every 100 liters of drilling fluids being pumped into drill bit per minute comprised up to 0.017litres/s(liter/second) abrasive material.Under 200 liters/min of rate of flow of fluids and in the adjustment of 1 second, typically need to collect 0.017 liter of particle during 0.5 second for the collector of 1vol% granule density and during another half second in discharged.
When using recirculating system, the drilling fluid in abradant jet can comprise injection concentration up to 10vol%(volume ratio proportion by subtraction), typically up to the abrasive magnetic particles of 5vol%, and average is higher than supply concentration.When there is no recirculating system, typically identical with injection concentration except there is possible change time lag by the supply concentration of drill string, and can such as be in 0.5vol% to 10vol% scope, such as 2-5vol%; Such as 3vol%.Recycling frequency such as can be between 10Hz to 40Hz.The rotation of this drill string, or the rotation of at least abrasive jet bit excavating tools can typically between 0.3Hz to 3Hz.
By not being adjust continuously but such as carry out only two circles or every three circle rotations in succession to increase the expectation bend radius of wellbore trace.
