Definitions

  • This invention relates to flow pulsing apparatus and a method for use in down-hole drilling equipment, and in particular to improved apparatus and methods of this type to be utilized in a drill string above a drill bit with a view to securing improvements in the drilling process.
  • a suitably constructed derrick suspends the block and hook arrangement, together with a swivel, drill pipe, drill collars, other suitable drilling tools, for example reamers, shock tools, etc. with a drill bit being located at the extreme bottom end of this assembly which is commonly called the drill string.
  • the drill string is rotated from the surface by the kelly which is rotated by a rotary table.
  • drilling fluid often called drilling mud
  • This drilling mud is pumped by relatively large capacity mud pumps.
  • this mud cleans the rolling cones of the drill bit, removes or clears away the rock chips from the cutting surface and lifts and carries such rock chips upwardly along the well bore to the surface.
  • a rock bit drill by forming successive small craters in the rock face as it is contacted by the individual bit teeth. Once the bit tooth has formed a crater, the next problem is the removal of the chips from the crater. As is well known in the art, depending upon the type of formation being drilled, and the shape of the crater thus produced, certain crater types require much more assistance from the drilling fluid to effect proper chip removal than do other types of craters.
  • bit weight and drilling fluid pressure must be increased in conjunction with one another.
  • An increase in drilling fluid pressure will not, in itself, usually effect any change in drilling rate in harder formations; fluid pressure and drill bit weight must be varied in conjunction with one another to achieve the most efficient result.
  • bit weight that can be used effectively is limited by the amount of fluid cleaning available below the bit.
  • hydraulic action of the drilling fluid may do a significant amount of the removal work.
  • the prior art has also provided various devices for effecting pulsations in the flow of drilling fluid to enhance the hydraulic action of the drilling fluid and to induce vibrations in the drill string by virtue of water hammer effect.
  • the flow pulsing apparatus described includes a rotor having blades which is adapted to rotate in response to the flow of drilling fluid through the tool housing.
  • a rotary valve forms part of the rotor and alternately restricts and opens the fluid flow passages thereby to create cyclical pressure variations.
  • the flow passages comprise radially arranged port means in a valve section of the housing with the rotary valve means being arranged to rotate in close co-operating relationship to the port means to alternately open and close the radial ports during rotation.
  • My above-noted copending application Serial No. 046,621 describes improved flow pulsing apparatus adapted to be connected in a drill string above a drill bit and includes a housing providing a passage for a flow of the drilling fluid toward the bit.
  • a turbine is located in the housing and it is rotated during use about an axis by the flow of drilling fluid.
  • a novel valve arrangement operated by the turbine means periodically restricts the flow through the passage to create pulsations in the flow and a cyclical water hammer effect to vibrate the housing and the drill bit during use.
  • This valve means is reciprocated in response to the rotation of the turbine means to effect the periodic restriction of the flow as opposed to being rotated as in the other arrangements described above.
  • a cam means is provided for effecting the reciprocation of the valve means in response to rotation of the turbine means.
  • the cam means preferably comprises an annular cam surrounding the axis of rotation of the turbine with cam follower means engaging the annular cam with relative rotation occurring between the follower means and the cam on rotation of the turbine to effect the reciprocation of the valve.
  • the valve means includes a valve member which is mounted for reciprocation along the axis of rotation of the turbine. The axis of rotation, when the flow pulsing apparatus is located in the drill string, extends longitudinally of the drill string in a generally vertical orientation.
  • an improved flow pulsing method and an apparatus incorporating a movable valve member for producing an enhanced water hammer effect eliminates the need for the turbine described in the applications noted above and instead is constructed to set a valve member forming part of a mass-spring system into oscillation in response to the dynamic forces/vibrations arising during a drilling operation and/or by the direct action of the drilling fluid on the mass-spring system thereby to effect intermittent pulsations in the flow thus achieving the desired water hammer effect. Since this novel method and apparatus do not employ a turbine, there is no need to maintain a minimum flow through the flow pulsing apparatus; hence the valve member can close completely during each cycle of oscillatory motion. This gives rise to a substantially enhanced water hammer effect (WHE) as compared with the (WHE) achieved by certain prior art arrangements and the arrangements described in the above-noted patent applications.
  • WHE substantially enhanced water hammer effect
  • the valve member is mounted via suitable guide means for reciprocation in the axial direction, i.e. lengthwise of the drill string.
  • a spring is connected to the valve member with the spring and the mass of the valve member preferably being chosen such that the mass spring system has a resonant frequency within the range of frequencies of axial vibration likely to be encountered by the drill string.
  • the major source of vibration or displacement is the drill bit itself.
  • a special spring/mass system is associated with the valve member and the valve member is related to a valve seat so that it moves against the flow direction to the closing position.
  • the arrangement is such that pulsation can occur in response to the action of the drilling fluid on the valve member without the need for drill string oscillation.
  • the shape of the pulses and pulse frequency can be preselected to some degree by altering the mass or spring constant etc. of the spring-mass system.
  • the frequency of the spring-mass system When the frequency of the spring-mass system is chosen to be close to the natural frequency of the rest of the drill string (or the bottom part of the string when isolated by a shock tool or other telescopic member from the string above) the spring-mass system can oscillate in resonance with the drill string (or part of it) with the result being that enormous amounts of energy are transmitted to the bit.
  • the arrangement is also resistant to clogging due to debris and since the valve opens in the flow direction, if the spring breaks the valve merely stays open continually thus permitting drilling to continue (at a slower rate) and deferring a costly trip out of the hole.
  • drilling rate is generally proportional to bit weight up to point A where drilling rate drops off rapidly owing to inadequate cleaning which means that formation chips are being reground. From point A, increased cleaning resulted in a proportional increase in drilling rate up to point B where, again, inadequate cleaning was in evidence with a consequent fall off in drilling rate. Again, by increasing the cleaning effect, drilling rate once again became proportional to bit weight up to point C where again, a fall off in drilling rate is in evidence.
  • Fig. 1 thus demonstrates clearly the importance of effective hole bottom cleaning in obtaining an adequate drilling rate.
  • Fig. 1 has been described mainly in relation to the drilling of harder formations. In softer formations, where the hydraulic action of the drilling fluid does at least part of the work, the relationships shown in Fig. 1 would still apply, although for somewhat different reasons, as those skilled in the art will appreciate.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown in cross section the lower end portion of a bore hole within which the lower end of a drill string 10 is disposed, such drill string including sections of hollow drill pipe connected together in the usual fashion and adapted to carry drilling fluid downwardly from drill pumps (not shown) located at the surface.
  • the drill string is driven in rotation by the usual surface mounted equipment also not shown.
  • Attached to the lower end of the drill collar 12 via the usual tapered screw thread arrangement is a drilling fluid flow pulsing apparatus 16 in accordance with the invention.
  • a relatively short connecting sub 18 which, in turn, is connected via the usual screw threads to a drill bit 20 which may be of conventional design having the usual rolling cone cutters and being equipped with a plurality of cleaning jets suitably positioned to apply streams of drilling fluid on to those regions where they have been found to be most effective in removing chips from the bottom of the well bore.
  • a drill collar section 17 to provide extra mass
  • a telescoping section 19 of conventional construction which can isolate the upper part of the drill string from the bottom section.
  • the usual rolling cone cutters can be replaced with a percussive bit when the flow pulsing is in a resonant relationship to the rest of the drill string or in reasonance with the lower end of the drill string (when the isolating telescopic member 19 (eg. a standard bumper sub or shock tool)) is interposed above the flow pulsing apparatus 16 as shown in Figure 2A.
  • One of such cleaning jets 22 is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 3 (the remainder of the drill bit not being shown) thereby to illustrate the manner in which the jet of drilling fluid is directed against the side and bottom portions of the well bore during a drilling operation.
  • the location and arrangement of the jet openings on the drill bit 20 need not be described further since they are not, in themselves, a part of the present invention but may be constructed and arranged in an entirely conventional manner.
  • Apparatus 16 includes an external tubular casing 26, the wall of which is sufficiently thick as to withstand the torsional and axial forces applied thereto during the course of the drilling operation.
  • Casing 26 is in two sections which are connected together via tapered screw threaded portion 28, with the upper end of the casing having a tapered internally threaded portion (not shown) adapted for connection to a lower end portion of the drill string.
  • the casing 26 also includes a tapered internally threaded lower section (not shown) which may be connected to the drill bit 20.
  • the casing 26 has a removable cartridge 32 located therein, cartridge 32 containing the valve means to be hereafter described.
  • the cartridge 32 includes an outer cylindrical shell 34.
  • An elongated valve guide 36 is supported co-axially in shell 34 by means of radial fins 38 interconnected between the interior of shell 34 and the guide 36.
  • the upstream end 40 of guide 36 is of relatively small diameter; the downstream end is of larger diameter and comprises a sleeve 42 of very hard material, e.g. tungsten carbide, sleeve 42 being connected to intermediate section 46 which, in turn, is fixed to upstream end 40.
  • the upstream end 40 is provided with a smooth conical nose 48 which directs the flow of drilling fluid around the guide 36.
  • An axially movable valve member 50 is located in the valve guide 36 for axial movement therein and it includes a large head end 52, a small stem portion 54, and an intermediate section 56.
  • a coil compression spring 60 surrounds the stem 54 and its one end bears against a ring 62 affixed to the end of stem 54 by pin 64, while the other end of spring 60 bears against an annular stop 66 fixed to guide upstream end portion 40.
  • An inner annular bearing portion 70 extends between stop 66 and the interior of sleeve 42 and the downstream end of bearing 70 has a shoulder 72 defining the upstream limit of travel of valve member 50.
  • Valve member 50 has drilled apertures 74, 76 therein allowing the drilling fluid to have access to both sides of the valve member. The hydraulic forces acting on the valve member thus act to balance and to cancel one another out.
  • the downstream end of shell 34 has an annular valve ring holder 80 seated therein and held in place by abutment against a step 82 in the casing 26.
  • Holder 80 defines conical upstream and downstream faces 84, 86 and has an annular step therein which seats an annular valve ring 88 (and held in place by conical wear ring 89), the valve ring 88 being co-axially arranged with respect to the valve member 50.
  • the head end 52 moves toward and away from the valve ring 88, thus opening and closing the annular flow passage defined between the head of the valve and the valve ring 88.
  • valve ring 88 is preferably of tungsten carbide while the valve member 50 is suitably hard-surfaced to avoid excess wear thereof.
  • the valve sleeve 42 is preferably of tungsten carbide. All other components subject to the abrasive drilling fluid are likewise hard-surfaced to reduce wear.
  • the coil compression spring 60 and the mass of the valve member 50 are chosen so that the mass-spring system defined by the two of them has a resonant frequency within the range of the exciting or forcing frequencies arising from the action of the drill bit on the bore hole bottom.
  • U.S. Patent 3,307,641 of March 7, 1967 to J.H. Wiggin Jr. which describes in some detail the vertical displacements of the drill string and frequencies thereof arising from the action of the rolling cone cutters on the hole bottom.
  • Conventional rolling cone cutters can be used although special designs can be provided to enhance the displacement as described in the Wiggin Jr. patent.
  • the vertical displacements can be of a frequency corresponding to the natural vibrational frequency of the drill string.
  • valve member 50 and spring 60 can be forced to oscillate at that same frequency thus generating pressure pulses (due to the water hammer effect) in step with the natural vibrational frequency of the drill string and reinforcing the same.
  • the response of the above mass-spring system will of course be enhanced if its natural frequency equals the forcing frequency, i.e. the frequency of the vertical longitudinal displacements of the drill string.
  • the head 52 of the valve member 50 is of slightly smaller diameter than the aperture in the valve ring 88 so that it can enter into such aperture as the amplitude of the oscillations increase. This permits the valve member to have the desired excursion while eliminating hammering of the valve member on a seat, which hammering could disrupt the free oscillatory motion of the valve member and cause wear of the valve members.
  • the flow pulsing apparatus includes an external casing 100 as before, in two sections, connected by screw threaded portion 102, the upper end having internally tapered threaded portion 104 adapted for connection to the lower end of a drill string (not shown) while the lower internally threaded portion 106 may be connected to a drill bit (not shown) via a connecting sub.
  • the casing 100 has a removable cartridge 110 therein which contains the valve means to be hereafter described.
  • Cartridge 110 includes an outer cylindrical shell 112 in which an elongated valve guide assembly 114 is co-axially supported by means of several radial fins 116 interconnected between the interior of shell 112 and guide assembly 114.
  • An axially movable valve member 118 is slidably mounted on the upstream end of guide assembly 114 for movement toward and away from valve seat assembly 120 located in the upstream end of cartridge 110 and held in place by virtue of mating screw threads 121 on both the seat assembly 120 and the cartridge 110.
  • An annular flow passage is defined between the valve member 118, guide assembly 114, and the interior of the shell.
  • Valve seat assembly 120 includes an annular ring holder 124 which butts up against the step 122.
  • Valve ring 126 seats in the ring holder and defines a central throat 128 and opposed, conical, upstream and downstream faces 130, 132, the downstream face 132 defining a valve seat.
  • Valve ring 126 is of very hard material, preferably of tungsten carbide, and is held in place by an annular step on the holder 124 and by an annular valve ring holder 134.
  • valve member 118 includes a tapered section leading to a reduced diameter portion 136 which, in turn, leads into a frustro-conical valve face 138 which cooperates with face 132 of valve ring 126 to prevent flow through the valve when the valve member 118 is at the upper limit of its travel.
  • the upstream end of valve member 118 also includes an axially disposed valve tip 140 which extends into the throat 128 of the valve ring when the valve member 118 approaches the closed position.
  • the valve tip is of very hard material, e.g., tungsten carbide, and has a rounded conical nose to meet and divert the flow around the valve member 118 when the latter is at least partly open.
  • Valve tip 140 acts to prevent heavy impact or hammering between the above-noted value faces 132 and 138, which impacts would shorten valve life span. Tip 140 meets the incoming flow and by virtue of its close but non-binding fit in the throat of the valve ring 126, the water hammer effect (WHE) is achieved and equilibrium (to be described later) is reached in the absence of heavy hammering contact between those faces 132, 130 thus increasing valve life. This is a significant factor especially when it is considered that the frequency of oscillation of the valve body 118 is likely to be somewhat greater than 20 Hertz.
  • the latter includes a tubular upstream barrel portion 142 which communicates with a downstream elongated tubular spring holder 144.
  • a bearing sleeve 146 which is preferably of low friction plastics material, e.g., nylon, slidably surrounds the barrel and is fixed to the interior bore 148 of valve member by suitable lock rings, there being a rubber wiper ring 150 at each end of this sleeve, which rings bear on the outer (polished) surface of barrel 142 to help clean away grit, etc., thus allowing the valve member 118 to reciprocate freely in the axial direction along the barrel.
  • the spring holder 144 has a spring stop ring 152 at the downstream end thereof against which an elongated first coil spring 154 bears.
  • This spring 154 extends all the way to the upstream end of the barrel 142 and makes contact with an axially movable annular spring support 156, the latter having a tubular portion which fits freely into the interior of the barrel 142 and against which the upstream end of spring 154 bears; (the first coil spring has a relatively low spring constant).
  • Spring support 156 is axially movable relative to both the barrel 142 and the valve member 118 and it has an annular flange 158 at its upstream end.
  • a second relatively short spring 160 (of relatively high spring constant) bears at its one end against the flange 158 of spring support 142 and at its other end against a ring 162 which is fixed to the upper interior end of the bore in the valve member 118.
  • the first spring 154 (of lower spring constant) is gradually compressed as the spring support 156 moves along the barrel until the flange 158 contacts the upper terminal end 159 of the barrel. Further downward movement of the valve member 118 causes compression of the second spring 160 (of high spring constant).
  • the several parts are dimensioned such that the total stroke length of the valve member 118 is relatively short (e.g., less than one inch) in a typical case. In operation, to be described later, most of this movement results in compression of the first spring 154 while only a small amount (if at all) of this motion acts to compress the second spring 160.
  • valve member 118 In the operation of the apparatus of Figure 6, the flow of drilling fluid is accelerated as it moves downwardly through the throat 128 defined by the valve ring 126. At the same time, the pressure in this area is reduced due to the Bernoulli effect.
  • the serially arranged springs 154 and 160 urge valve member 118 and its valve face 138 and tip 140 against the direction of the flow, the preloading in these springs being slightly greater than the dynamic pressure arising from the flow. Hence, the valve member 118 tends to move in the closing direction until the flow is restricted and the pressure on the upstream side of the valve increases, such increased pressure acting on the valve member 118 to cause it to open.
  • the energy (work done on the valve by the flow as it opens) is stored in the mass/spring system during opening and is used to overcome the pressure rise above the valve during the closing of the valve.
  • the (WHE) is achieved.
  • the increased pressure above the valve acts on the valve spring-mass system and all the energy (work) required to drive the mass-spring system downwards is stored in the mass-spring system for use in the next valve closing cycle.
  • the large mass of the valve member acts as a "flywheel” to store energy during opening of the valve and this energy is in turn used during closing of the valve.
  • the valve closing force is thus proportional to the amount of energy (momentum) that can be stored in the spring-mass system during opening of the valve and the original preload on the springs.
  • the result after start-up is that on each successive closing cycle, the closing force is slightly greater than before thus resulting in a progressively greater restriction of the valve opening and thus producing higher pressure pulses due to the water hammer effect (WHE). This build-up continues until:
  • first spring 154 of low spring constant and second spring 160 of high spring constant will now be described.
  • the terms “high” and “low” are relative terms. The following discussion will help to clarify what is meant by these terms and will enable those skilled in the art to select spring constants for the springs which will accomplish the desired result without undue experimentation for any given situation.
  • the use of the high spring constant spring 160 creates greater acceleration of the valve member 118 toward the closing position thus resulting in a somewhat higher pulse frequency while at the same time the separation of the pulses and the advantages associated therewith, e.g., lower pressure differential and (MPP) as outlined above in connection with Figure 8 are maintained.
  • MPP lower pressure differential and
  • the ratio of the high to the low spring constant is 1500 lb/in (2625 Nt/cm) : 20 lb/in (35 Nt/cm) or 75.
  • This ratio can be varied substantially, e.g., from 50 to 90 and possibly as much as 25 to 100 depending on the precise application.
  • the expressions "high” and “low” spring constants are used here to describe the fact that the constant of one spring can be many times higher, (in most cases several order of magnitudes higher), than that of the other spring.
  • the second spring can be dispensed with altogether and a further embodiment to be described hereafter omits the second spring.
  • the embodiment of Figure 6 When used in a drill string which is vibrated axially by the bit, the embodiment of Figure 6 would be self-starting in the sense that it would begin to pulse the flow independently; however, once the suspended mass of the drill string (e.g., drill bit, flow pulsing apparatus and male spline of a stock tool, if present) begin to oscillate, then the mass/spring system defined by the valve member 118 and its springs will begin to oscillate and the whole oscillating assembly can be made to oscillate in resonance.
  • the suspended mass of the drill string e.g., drill bit, flow pulsing apparatus and male spline of a stock tool, if present
  • the mass/spring system defined by the valve member 118 and its springs will begin to oscillate and the whole oscillating assembly can be made to oscillate in resonance.
  • Figure 6 is more versatile than the first embodiment ( Figures 4 and 5). It (the Figure 6 version) is also less prone to jamming or choking as a result of debris in the flow of drilling fluid (mud) since the valve member closes in a direction opposite to the flow direction and any particles wedging between the valve faces, etc., on one closing cycle are usually relieved and swept away on the next opening cycle.
  • drilling fluid mud
  • Fig. 11 is similar to the embodiment of Fig. 6 and includes a casing 200 as before with internally threaded upstream and downstream portions 204 & 206.
  • a guide and support assembly 214 includes an elongated barrel 242 supported by sleeve 270, radial fins 216 and barrel holder 244.
  • a massive valve member 218 (including its upstream nose sections 272, 273) is mounted for reciprocation on the barrel 242 as before via bronze or plastic brushings 246a and intermediate bronze brushing 246b.
  • An elongated spring 254 extends within the barrel 242 from downstream spring stop 252 up to an internal sleeve 270 which is fixed to the forward end section 272 of valve member 218 and it slides within the end of barrel 242 as the valve member reciprocates under the influence of the forces described previously.
  • the valve ring 226 is mounted in an annular recess defined by the two-part ring holder 224a and 224b. A small amount of clearance in the axial direction is provided between the valve ring 226 and the two-part valve holder 224(a&b). A rubber shock absorbing ring 278 is provided between the holder portion 224b and a step defined by the upstream casing portion 201. Hence, during operation, as the valve ring 226 moves downstream slightly.
  • valve ring 226 moves upstream against the hydraulic pressure that builds up above the valve; after this clearance has been taken up, impact forces between the valve faces 232, 238 are absorbed in part, by the rubber shock absorbing ring 278.
  • the embodiment of Figure 11 requires only a single spring 254 and the spring mass-system defined by it and the valve member 218 function as described above in connection with the Figure 6 embodiment except that the frequency of operation is somewhat lower owing to the absence of the second (high spring constant) spring.
  • the embodiment of Figure 11 may in fact be the preferred embodiment for many applications.
  • the pulsating pressurized flow being applied to the cleaning nozzles or jets of the drill bit provides greater turbulence and greater chip cleaning effect than was hitherto possible thus increasing the drilling rate in harder formations.
  • the pulsating, high turbulence action also has a beneficial effect on drilling rate.
