Description

Turbine type combined friction reducing tool capable of changing flowing state of drilling fluid

Technical Field

The invention relates to a turbine type combined friction reducing tool capable of changing the flowing state of drilling fluid, belonging to the technical field of drilling tools for oil and natural gas exploitation.

Background

With the continuous exploitation of oil, a large number of long horizontal, large inclination and multi-branch horizontal wells need to be excavated. In the domestic exploitation of long-level, large-inclination and multi-branch horizontal wells, a plurality of problems similar to pressure supporting, drill sticking and drill breakage occur, so that the drilling efficiency is low, the development period is long, the development cost is high, the design requirement of a well trajectory cannot be met, the target rate in a target layer is low, the rock carrying capacity of drilling fluid is low, and the vibration effect is not ideal. This is the major bottleneck that restricts the development of long horizontal, large slope and multi-branch horizontal wells. These problems arise primarily because the friction between the drill string and the borehole wall is greater than that of a vertical well. In the sliding drilling process, the drill string and the well wall are kept in a relatively static state, and the static friction force is larger than the dynamic friction force, so that the larger static friction force can be considered to be converted into the smaller dynamic friction force.

Therefore, the friction force between the drilling tool and the well wall in the long horizontal well section, the large inclination and the multi-branch horizontal well section is reduced, and the key for improving the extended drilling footage of the long horizontal well, the large inclination and the multi-branch horizontal well is realized.

Disclosure of Invention
