It should be noted that, the method for realizing the lateral drilling of the extremely short radius branch well from any position of the main well bore Z is the prior art, and in the prior art, the process of the extremely short radius lateral drilling can guide the well bore track of the extremely short radius well section to a certain extent by depending on the orientation of the whipstock 7 and the included angle between the guiding inclined plane of the whipstock 7 and the Z axis of the main well bore. However, after completing the sidetrack drilling of the very short radius branch, in order to achieve the purpose of maximally contacting the formation, it is necessary to continue to complete the extended well section of the very short radius branch, and the extended displacement and the borehole trajectory precision of the extended well section directly determine the economic benefit of the very short radius branch (including the very short radius well section and the extended well section). Accordingly, the primary purpose of the present invention is to address the problem of wellbore trajectory control for extended runs of very short radius offset intervals, but is not representative of what is described herein for extended runs of very short radius offset intervals only.
In summary, the rotary steerable drilling tool of the present invention, by providing the steering mechanism, the steering mechanism can drive the drill bit to deflect in a predetermined direction under the rotation condition, so as to change the track of the borehole, thereby realizing the short radius directional drilling; by arranging the propelling mechanism, the flexible drill column can be well assisted to advance or push the drill bit to drill, so that small-diameter short-radius guide drilling with certain well hole extension length is realized.
