However, the borehole size is very limited, in which case it is difficult to improve the stability of the drilling operation by making geometric improvements to conventional drill collars.
Therefore, there is a need for a drill collar that further improves the stability of the drilling operation.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the drill collar 100 includes a generally cylindrical hollow drill collar body 101, and an upstream joint (e.g., internal thread) 102 and a downstream joint (e.g., external thread) 103 respectively provided at both ends of the drill collar body 101. When the drill collar 100 is assembled into a drilling tool, the upstream sub 102 is closer to the wellhead and the downstream sub 103 is closer to the bottom of the well. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the upstream sub 102 and the downstream sub 103 are integrally formed with the collar body 101. However, it should be understood that the upstream sub 102 and the downstream sub 103 may be manufactured separately from the collar body 101 and connected together by threaded connections or the like.
In one embodiment, theThe density of the collar body 101 is about 8.8g/cm 3 To 22.6g/cm 3 The elastic modulus is between about 250-540GPa and the shear modulus is between about 100-280 GPa. Compared with the existing steel drill collar with the same size, the weight of the drill collar is improved by about 0.12 to 1.88 times, the elastic modulus is improved by about 0.20 to 1.62 times, and the shear modulus is improved by about 0.25 to 2.5 times. Correspondingly, the maximum bit pressure for avoiding the sinusoidal buckling of the drill collar is improved by about 0.16-1.75 times, the torsional strain energy of the drill collar under the same condition is reduced by about 20.6-71.7%, and the working stability of drilling operation is improved according to experiments and field practices.
Preferably, the density of the collar body 101 is about 12.5g/cm 3 To 19.3g/cm 3 Between about 300-410GPa in elastic modulus and about 110-150GPa in shear modulus. Compared with the existing steel drill collar with the same size, the weight of the drill collar is improved by about 0.60 to 1.46 times, the elastic modulus is improved by about 0.46 to 1.0 time, and the shear modulus is improved by about 0.38 to 0.89 time. Correspondingly, the maximum bit pressure for avoiding the sinusoidal buckling of the drill collar is improved by about 0.52-1.21 times, and according to experiments and field practices, the torsional strain energy of the drill collar under the same conditions is reduced by about 27.8% -47.1%, and the working stability of drilling operation is improved.
In one embodiment, the weight, bending stiffness, and torsional stiffness of the collar body 101 can be varied by selecting the material. For example, the collar body 101 may be made of a material such as inconel. The density of the drill collar body 101 made of inconel is about 12.5g/cm 3 To 18.9g/cm 3 Between about 300-400GPa in elastic modulus and between about 110-150GPa in shear modulus. The drill collar main body prepared from the material has the advantages of improving the weight of the drill collar, improving the instability critical load of the drill collar, reducing vibration of a drilling tool and a drill bit, preventing well deviation and the like.
In one embodiment, the collar body 101 may be made of tungsten-nickel-copper alloy or the like. The density of the drill collar body 101 made of tungsten-nickel-copper alloy is about 12.5g/cm 3 To 18.9g/cm 3 Between about 300-400GPa in elastic modulus and between about 110-150GPa in shear modulus. The drill collar main body made of the material has the advantages of improving the weight of the drill collar and improving the drillCritical load of instability of the collar, reduction of vibration of a drilling tool and a drill bit, prevention of well deviation, provision of a nonmagnetic environment and the like.
The effect of shear modulus on borehole stability, and the advantages of the drill collar 100 of the present invention, will be further illustrated by comparative examples and examples.
Comparative example
A drill collar is provided, the drill collar body of which is made of the existing common alloy steel (AISI4145H chrome molybdenum alloy steel). The density of the drill collar is about 7.85g/cm 3 The elastic modulus was about 206GPa and the shear modulus was about 79 GPa.
Example 1
A drill collar has a collar body made of a material containing 85W-10.5Ni-4.5 Fe. The density of the drill collar is about 16.0g/cm 3 The elastic modulus is about 260GPa and the shear modulus is about 97 GPa.
Example 2
A drill collar has a collar body made of a material containing 90W-7Ni-3 Fe. The density of the drill collar is about 17.1g/cm 3 The elastic modulus was about 310GPa and the shear modulus was about 115 GPa.
Example 3
A drill collar has a collar body made of a material containing 93W-4.9Ni-2.1 Fe. The density of the drill collar is about 17.6g/cm 3 The elastic modulus is about 340GPa and the shear modulus is about 126 GPa.
Example 4
A drill collar has a collar body made of a material comprising 97.1W-1.4Ni-0.7Fe-0.8 Co. The density of the drill collar is about 18.6g/cm 3 The elastic modulus is about 380GPa, and the shear modulus is about 140 GPa.
Using a drill collar with the outer diameter of 228.6mm and the inner diameter of 76.2mm, a straight borehole with the diameter of 311.2mm and a drilling fluid density of 1.2g/cm 3 Taking the torque of 10 kN.m as an example, the experimental parameter comparison analysis of drill collars made of different materials is carried out. The results are shown in the following table.
The straight well sinusoidal buckling critical load refers to a specific axial load of a drilling tool structure in a straight well hole for starting sinusoidal buckling. When the load reaches the buckling threshold, the structural configuration will suddenly jump to another random equilibrium state. If the buckling deformation is a sine curve, the buckling deformation is sine buckling, and if the buckling deformation is a spiral curve, the buckling deformation is spiral buckling; buckling is the process of losing load bearing capacity when a member has not yet reached yield, and due to wellbore constraints, the load bearing capacity is still present after the drill string has buckled. However, such buckling may result in a substantial reduction in the stability of the entire drilling tool and the safety and reliability of the drilling operation.
The moment of inertia, also called mass moment of inertia, is a measure of the inertia of a rigid body when it rotates around an axis, and the role in rotational dynamics is equivalent to the mass in linear dynamics.
Torsional strain energy refers to the potential energy stored in the drill string in the form of strain and stress as the drill string is torqued, and frequent accumulation and release of torsional strain energy is a significant cause of downhole vibration of the drill string and drill bit.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the density of the present invention is about 8.8g/cm 3 To 22.6g/cm 3 In between (e.g., between 16.0-18.6 g/cm) 3 In between) and having an elastic modulus of between about 250GPa and 540GPa (e.g., between 260-380 GPa), and a shear modulus of between about 97GPa and 280GPa (e.g., between 97-141GPa) enable a higher increase in stability of the drilling operation. The method is mainly characterized in that parameters such as weight, elastic modulus, shear modulus, buckling critical load, pendulum force of the drill collar after the well deviation, rotational inertia during rotation and the like are greatly increased, torsional strain energy is greatly reduced, the motion stability of a bottom drilling tool assembly is facilitated, and the probability of complexity and risk such as underground vibration and well deviation is reduced.
