Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of petroleum underground instruments, and particularly relates to an underground pulse signal generator, a pressure pulse transmission method, a drill collar and drilling equipment.
Background
In petroleum drilling, particularly in the process of drilling a highly deviated well, a horizontal well, a multilateral well and other special process wells with complex structures, operators are required to master various underground process parameters in real time, monitor drilling tracks, timely adjust and optimize the drilling parameters, correct the drilling tracks and achieve the purpose of safe and efficient drilling, so that the real-time transmission rate, the accuracy and the like of measurement data while drilling become important influence factors of drilling operation.
Measurement while drilling and logging while drilling refer to the measurement of downhole information by a measurement instrument near the drill bit and transmission to the surface during drilling. By means of measurement while drilling and logging while drilling technologies, information which is difficult to measure on the ground can be measured, such as the torque, the weight on bit, the inclination angle, the azimuth angle, the tool face angle, the axial tension, the three-phase acceleration, formation rock physical parameters, gamma rays reflecting formation characteristics, resistivity and the like of the underground drill bit. The information can be acquired in real time by utilizing measurement while drilling and well logging technologies, and data processing is carried out on the information through a ground software system of measurement while drilling, so that an operator can conveniently master the working state of the drill bit in real time, the structure and simulation of a bottom layer while drilling are realized, stratum evaluation is completed, and the drill bit can efficiently advance in an oil-gas layer.
With the development of measurement while drilling and logging while drilling technologies, various logging while drilling instruments such as an azimuth lateral resistivity imaging logging while drilling instrument, a gamma imaging logging while drilling instrument and the like are successively put into application, the accuracy of the measurement while drilling and the logging technology depends on the authenticity and rapidity of underground information, and the key technologies of the measurement while drilling and the logging technology are a carrier, a transmission tool and a transmission rate of underground information transmission, signal receiving, signal processing, decoding and the like of the underground information transmission on the ground. The underground information transmission is divided into two modes of wired transmission and wireless transmission, and the wireless transmission is widely applied due to less limitation in the underground operation process at present.
The existing wireless transmission modes are mainly divided into sound wave, electromagnetic wave and mud pulse transmission according to the difference of a transmission channel and a transmission medium. Wherein, the sound wave transmission technology does not solve the problems of noise, attenuation and the like at present, so the sound wave transmission technology is in a test research stage; the electromagnetic wave transmission technology is greatly influenced by well depth and geological conditions, and the application range is limited; the mud pulse transmission technology is generated by means of a mud pulse generator and is currently in commercial use as a wide range.
The mud pulse transmission method is divided into negative pulse, positive pulse and continuous wave signal transmission according to different types of mud pulses. The negative pulse signal generator has the defects of pollution, low signal rate and large energy loss; the positive pulse mud signal generator is widely applied at present, and generally realizes the uploading of mud pulse signals by controlling the principle that the mushroom head blocks a mud channel, but the transmission rate of the positive pulse mud signal generator is generally lower than 0.5-5bit/s, and the positive pulse mud signal generator cannot meet the requirement of simultaneously uploading a plurality of groups of measurement parameters while drilling and logging parameters in real time; moreover, the negative pulse transmission and the positive pulse belong to baseband transmission, so that the transmission rate is low, the reliability is poor, and error codes are easily generated by interference; continuous wave signal transmission belongs to frequency band transmission, and compared with negative pulse transmission and positive pulse transmission, the transmission rate of continuous wave signal transmission is much faster, and meanwhile, the method has the advantages of high reliability and strong anti-interference capability, so that the continuous wave signal transmission has a better application prospect.
The continuous wave signal generator controls the rotor of the rotary valve to move according to a certain rule through the motor so as to change the flow area of mud liquid, different drilling fluid flow areas generate drilling fluid pressure signals with different amplitudes, and the transmission of underground data is realized by utilizing the drilling fluid pressure signals. Specifically, the change of amplitude, frequency and phase of a sinusoidal pressure wave signal of the mud drilling fluid can be realized by controlling the operation mode of the rotor, so that the modulation of measurement while drilling data is realized, and the data transmission rate of the continuous wave signal generator is much faster than that of a mud negative pulse generator and a mud positive pulse generator and can reach 40bit/s at most.
The rotary valve rotor can be divided into a swinging shear valve type continuous signal generator and a continuous rotary valve type continuous wave signal generator according to different movement modes of the rotary valve rotor. Both the swing shear valve type continuous signal generator and the continuous rotary valve type continuous wave signal generator face a series of common problems. Firstly, the problem of motor control is solved, the motor is used as a driving source of a rotor, and the control precision of the motor often has great influence on the generation of signals, so that the precision requirement of motor control is very high, the underground working environment is severe, the motor needs to have the characteristics of high temperature resistance and scouring resistance, in the actual operation process, the motor can be influenced by hydraulic impact, the load is a variable uncertain quantity, and the problem that what kind of control method is adopted to improve the control precision of the motor is difficult to realize technically. Particularly for the swing shear valve type continuous signal generator, the motor needs to be controlled to continuously rotate forwards and backwards, the requirement on the motor is high, and the situation that the motor can not rotate to a set position even when the rotor meets large resistance can occur. Secondly, the power consumption of the system is the problem, the load water moment needs to be overcome in the process of driving the rotor to move by the motor, a high-frequency oscillation signal needs to be generated, the power consumption of the system is very large, and the operation performance of the motor can be seriously influenced by unknown disturbance generated by hydraulic torque. Furthermore, the downhole temperature increases with increasing well depth, and changes in temperature will tend to cause changes in motor control parameters.
Patent US20180291733a1 discloses a device for generating low frequency pressure pulses downhole, comprising a housing and a rotary valve arranged in the housing, the rotary valve comprising a first valve part and a second valve part, the first valve part being rotated by a first turbine, the second valve part being rotated by a second turbine, the first turbine and the second turbine having the same displacement-rotation characteristics, i.e. the slopes of the displacement-rotation speed curves of the first turbine and the second turbine are equal, so that the first valve part and the second valve part, although being capable of rotating at different rates, are capable of obtaining a stable fixed value frequency for stable transmission of the pulse signal. However, in the drilling process, with the increase of the well depth, the drilling working condition becomes more and more complex, the more the downhole data to be measured, the more the borehole trajectory data and the geological data need to be measured, and the data such as the downhole vibration, the bit weight, the torque, the borehole diameter expansion rate, the dielectric constant and the like need to be measured, the size of the data transmission quantity is closely related to the signal frequency, and the pressure pulse device disclosed in the above patent generates a fixed value frequency, which cannot meet the requirements of different well depths on the data information quantity.
The above description is included in the technical recognition scope of the inventors, and does not necessarily constitute the prior art.
