Background technology
In Process of Oil Well Drilling, often need to utilize the GR intensity with boring apparatus measures stratum, for determining formation lithology.
Overall gamma inserting tube has been widely applied in conventional wireless measuring instrument while drilling, this GR inserting tube is equipped with a sodium iodide crystal, be installed on drill collar central axis, its measured value be radius one foot centered by sodium iodide crystal spheric region in the coefficient result of GR ray.It by the statistical unit time from stratum all directions inject the gamma rays of sodium iodide crystal, calculate the overall gamma intensity on this stratum.
But when lithology is uneven, when being particularly positioned at the interface on stratum, overall GR is difficult to the feature responding stratum timely.Particularly when drilling tool horizontal drilling in oil reservoirs, when gamma value becomes large suddenly, often can not determine it is top or the bottom of having met reservoir, therefore can not change drilling direction timely, cause footage unpayable and cause waste man-hour.
The problems referred to above can solve with orientation gamma-spectrometry.Orientation gamma-spectrometry instrument adopts one or more sodium iodide crystal, makes each crystal can only receive a sector directions penetrating the gamma rays come, by being corresponded on each sector by GR measured value, realizing the measurement of orientation gamma by extra radome.
At present, orientation gamma-spectrometry instrument mostly is pipe nipple form, is arranged near drill bit, also referred to as orientation gamma-spectrometry pipe nipple.The result of use of orientation gamma-spectrometry pipe nipple is very good, but more complicated in supply of electric power and information transmission, and the quantity of the sensor of needs is two, and use cost is higher, and most use when well logging during.(patent: hole deviation and orientation gamma steering tool CN1676874A, a kind of rotation assembles gamma-spectrometry device and method CN101482014A)
Also there are some to produce house and manufactured directional gamma probe, for the wireless measuring instrument while drilling of routine, but on using, also have inconvenience more or less.
Patent (a kind of Self-locating type direction gamma measuring system CN102425402A) also has the radome on inserting tube axis similar to the present invention, and electric power and information transmission also with bearing supporting, and are carried out with conducting slip ring in radome two ends.Unlike, it does not have motor to drive and angular transducer, radome has been installed two crystal counters staggered relatively, and an eccentric weight pendulum, utilizes the gravity heavily put to make two crystal counters be in upper and lower position all the time.But conceivable, heavily put when vibrating slightly large and even do not stop upset by acutely swinging, cause measuring error; Even if when measuring correct, the gamma value of upper and lower both direction also can only be measured.
Patent (orientation Gamma logging device CN102230376A) structure is simple, and its radome, crystal counter, outer protection cylinder are relatively fixing, uses gravitational accelerometer to measure the tool-face position of inserting tube, thus carries out the division of covering of the fan.This method only for static or vibrate slight situation, high vibration and rotate and all will cause tool-face measuring error, under therefore it can only be used in slipping drilling situation mostly.But in order to realize the measurement of multiple covering of the fan, it needing again planned rotation inserting tube to other tool-face, this means to need driller ceaselessly to go to put the tool-face of drilling tool, also meaning longer Measuring Time and wasting manpower and material resources.
