Aus der
Bei der Pilotbohrung mit dem HDD-Verfahren wird der Pilotbohrkopf mittels Bohrstangen gesteuert dem geplanten Trassenverlauf folgend entlang geschoben. Eine Bohrsuspension wird mittels einer durch das Bohrgestänge führenden Öffnung zum Pilotbohrkopf gepumpt. Dort vermischt sich das vom Pilotbohrkopf abgebaute Bohrklein mit der Bohrsuspension. Diese Suspension fließt dann mit dem Bohrklein durch das gebohrte Bohrloch zurück zum Startpunkt bzw. Eintrittspunkt der Bohrung. Da der Durchmesser des Bohrkopfes nicht wesentlich größer ist als der Außendurchmesser der Bohrstangen, liegt zwischen Bohrloch und Bohrstange ein Ringraum vor. In diesem Ringraum bildet sich eine Strömung aus, mit der das Bohrklein aus dem Bohrloch befördert wird.When pilot drilling with the HDD process, the pilot drill head is pushed using boring bars and pushed along the planned route. A drilling suspension is pumped to the pilot drill head through an opening through the drill pipe. There, the cuttings mined by the pilot drilling head mix with the drilling suspension. This suspension then flows with the cuttings through the drilled borehole back to the starting point or entry point of the borehole. Since the diameter of the drill head is not significantly larger than the outside diameter of the boring bars, there is an annular space between the borehole and the boring bar. A flow forms in this annulus, with which the cuttings are conveyed out of the borehole.
Bedingt durch die Form des Strömungskanals im Ringraum gibt es Zonen, in welchen die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit nahezu gegen Null geht, in diesen Zonen lagert sich mitgeführtes Bohrklein ab, ein sogenanntes Bohrkleinbett bildet sich aus. Die Folge dieser Ablagerungen ist ein erhöhtes Drehmoment des sich drehenden Bohrstranges durch Reibung gegenüber dem Bohrkleinbett auf der Sohle des Bohrlochs. Zudem verkleinert sich der freie Strömungsquerschnitt, die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit steigt an und erzeugt dadurch höhere Druckverluste während des Rückflusses zur Startseite der Bohrung. Diese Druckverluste müssen durch die Spülungspumpe kompensiert werden, was zu einem erhöhten Druckniveau beim Austritt der Bohrsuspension beim Pilotbohrkopf führt. Der höhere Spülungsdruck am Austritt der Spülung beim Bohrkopf kann wiederum in Abhängigkeit des anstehenden Gebirges bzw. dessen Beschaffenheit zu einem Aufbrechen des Gebirges führen. Dieses hat zur Folge, dass undefinierte Spülungswege meist senkrecht zur horizontalen Bohrachse direkt zur Oberfläche entstehen können, an denen dann unkontrolliert die Bohrspülung austritt.Due to the shape of the flow channel in the annular space, there are zones in which the flow velocity is almost zero, in these zones carried cuttings are deposited, a so-called cuttings bed is formed. The consequence of these deposits is an increased torque of the rotating drill string due to friction against the cuttings on the bottom of the borehole. In addition, the free flow cross-section is reduced, the flow speed increases and thereby generates higher pressure losses during the backflow to the start of the bore. These pressure losses must be compensated for by the irrigation pump, which leads to an increased pressure level when the drilling suspension emerges from the pilot drilling head. The higher mud pressure at the outlet of the mud at the drill head can, depending on the rock or its nature, lead to the rock breaking up. The consequence of this is that undefined irrigation paths can usually arise perpendicular to the horizontal drilling axis directly to the surface, at which the drilling fluid then escapes in an uncontrolled manner.
Neben dem Umweltaspekt eines undefinierten Spülungsaustritts muss auch das Bohren unterbrochen werden, da ein kontrollierter Austrag des Bohrkleins nicht mehr möglich ist. Ein sogenannter Spülungsausbläser lässt sich nur aufwändig wieder reparieren, indem man Zusätze in die Bohrspülung hinzugibt oder die Ausbläserstelle zementiert.In addition to the environmental aspect of an undefined irrigation outlet, drilling must also be interrupted because controlled removal of the cuttings is no longer possible. A so-called rinsing blow-out can only be done with great effort repair again by adding additives to the drilling fluid or cementing the blow-out point.
In der Praxis werden meist vorab kritische Spülungsdrücke berechnet, indem man vorhandene geologische Daten mit einer Druckberechnung überlagert. Die maximalen Werte dürfen nicht überschritten werden. Durch Drucksensoren hinter dem Bohrkopf können die Drücke gemessen und überwacht werden.In practice, critical mud pressures are usually calculated in advance by superimposing existing geological data with a pressure calculation. The maximum values must not be exceeded. The pressure can be measured and monitored using pressure sensors behind the drill head.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Bohrstrangelement und einen Bohrstrang mit demselben bereit zu stellen, mit dem es möglich wird, den Druck im Ringraum unterhalb der berechneten Grenzen zu halten bzw. die im Ringraum bzw. Bohrstrang herrschenden Drücke so klein wie möglich zu halten. Dabei soll auch abgesetztes Bohrklein wieder in die Strömung gebracht werden bzw. ein Absetzen des Bohrkleins verhindert werden.The object of the invention is to provide a drill string element and a drill string with the same, with which it becomes possible to keep the pressure in the annulus below the calculated limits or to keep the pressures prevailing in the annulus or drill string as low as possible. In the process, deposited cuttings should also be brought back into the flow or the cuttings should be prevented from settling.
Gelöst wird die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe dadurch, dass es sich bei dem Bohrstrang um einen Bohrstrang für horizontal directional drilling (HDD) handelt, dass sich die Bohrtrasse von einem Startpunkt zu einen Zielpunkt sich im Wesentlichen horizontal erstreckt, dass der lichte Querschnitt der Öffnung oder der Eintrittsöffnung und der Austrittsöffnung einstellbar ist, dass das Einstellen erfolgt, indem in wenigstens zwei von der Öffnung, der Eintrittsöffnung, innerhalb des Strömungskanals und/oder in der Austrittsöffnung jeweils wenigstens eine Düse und/oder Blende angeordnet ist, wobei die wenigstens zwei Düsen und/oder Blenden wechselbar ausgeführt sind, und dass die Auswahl der Düse und/oder Blende so erfolgt, dass am Einbaupunkt des Bohrstrangelements im Bohrstrang im Bohrloch das Spülungsmedium mit jeweils vorgegebenem Volumenstrom und/oder Druck in den Ringraum abgebbar ist, wobei der Volumenstrom und/oder Druck im Ringraum in Abhängigkeit geologischer Beschaffenheiten des anstehenden Gebirges festgesetzt ist, und dass der wenigstens eine Körper sich auf dem Grundkörper erstreckt, so dass sich der Außenradius des Grundkörpers abschnittsweise vergrößert und ein Exzenter vorliegt, durch den der Bohrstrang beim Bohren zeitweise von der Bohrlochwandung anhebbar ist.The object of the invention is achieved in that the drill string is a drill string for horizontal directional drilling (HDD), that the drill route extends essentially horizontally from a starting point to a target point, that the clear cross section of the opening or the entry opening and the outlet opening is adjustable such that the setting is carried out by arranging at least one nozzle and / or orifice in at least two of the opening, the inlet opening, within the flow channel and / or in the outlet opening, the at least two nozzles and / or Orifices are designed to be exchangeable, and the nozzle and / or orifice plate is selected so that at the point of installation of the drill string element in the drill string in the borehole, the flushing medium can be dispensed into the annulus with a predetermined volume flow and / or pressure, the volume flow and / or pressure in the annulus depending on geological conditions it is set in the upcoming mountains, and that the at least one body extends on the base body, so that the outer radius of the base body increases in sections and there is an eccentric through which the drill string can be temporarily raised from the borehole wall during drilling.
Das Vorsehen zweier unterschiedlicher lichter Querschnitte, bei dem der lichte Querschnitt der Öffnung und/oder Eintrittsöffnung kleiner ist als der lichte Querschnitt der Austrittsöffnung, ermöglicht es auf besonders einfache Weise, ein niedriges Druckniveau am Düsenaustritt bereitzustellen. Dieses sorgt für eine geringere Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Spülungsmediums beim Austritt. Der Austritt des Spülungsmediums ist dadurch weniger aggressiv. Bei einem hohen Druckniveau im Innenraum des Bohrstrangs und damit am Düsenaustritt besteht die Gefahr, dass das Bohrloch durch das austretende Spülungsmedium ausgeweitet wird. Es hat sich so unerwartet gezeigt, dass es so auf besonders einfache Weise möglich ist, das austretenden Spülungsmediums schonend in den Ringraum einzubringen.The provision of two different clear cross-sections, in which the clear cross-section of the opening and / or inlet opening is smaller than the clear cross-section of the outlet opening, makes it possible in a particularly simple manner to provide a low pressure level at the nozzle outlet. This ensures a lower flow rate of the flushing medium at the outlet. This means that the flushing medium escapes less aggressively. With a high pressure level in the interior of the drill string and thus at the nozzle outlet, there is a risk that the drilling hole will be expanded by the flushing medium escaping. It has been shown so unexpectedly that it is possible in a particularly simple manner to introduce the escaping flushing medium gently into the annular space.
Das Vorsehen zweier unterschiedlicher lichter Querschnitte, bei dem der lichte Querschnitt der Öffnung und/oder Eintrittsöffnung größer ist als der lichte Querschnitt der Austrittsöffnung, ermöglicht es auf besonders einfache Weise, ein höheres Druckniveau am Düsenaustritt bereitzustellen. Dieses sorgt für eine größere Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Spülungsmediums beim Austritt. Der Austritt des Spülungsmediums ist dadurch aggressiver. Dieses lässt insbesondere dann einsetzen, wenn bewusst punktuell Bohrklein aufgewirbelt werden soll, gleichzeitig das Gebirge in dem das Bohrloch erstellt wird bzw. das Gestein der Bohrlochwand so beschaffen ist, dass bei einem hohen Druckniveau im Innenraum des Bohrstrangs und damit am Düsenaustritt nicht die Gefahr besteht, dass das Bohrloch durch das austretenden Spülungsmedium ausgeweitet wird. Dadurch, dass der lichte Querschnitt der Öffnung, der Eintrittsöffnung und/oder der Austrittsöffnung einstellbar ist, sind die gewünschten Parameter des Spülungsmediums besonders einfach einregelbar/einstellbar. Dadurch, dass in der Öffnung, der Eintrittsöffnung, innerhalb des Strömungskanals und/oder in der Austrittsöffnung wenigstens eine Düse und/oder Blende angeordnet ist, wobei bevorzugt wenigstens eine Düse und/oder Blende wechselbar ausgeführt ist, lassen sich die gewünschten Abgabeparameter besonders einfach bereitstellen. Durch ein Wechseln der Düse/Düsen können die am Betriebspunkt des Bohrstrangelements gewünschten Parameter besonders einfach eingestellt werden. Dadurch werden unterschiedliche Druckniveaus innerhalb des Bohrgestänges in Abhängigkeit der Bohrlänge auf besonders einfache Weise ausgeglichen. Weiterhin wird dadurch, dass die Austrittsöffnung im Wesentlichen axial zur Mittelachse des Bohrstrangelements angeordnet ist, das Spülungsmedium entlang des Bohrstrangs abgegeben, was zu einer Bewegung des Bohrkleins führt, insbesondere falls es sich abgesetzt hat. Weiterhin wird ein Aufweiten des Bohrlochs durch direktes Einwirken des abgegebenen Spülungsmediums auf die Bohrlochwandung vermieden. Dadurch, dass der wenigstens eine Körper, bevorzugt der eine Körper, sich auf dem Grundkörper erstreckt, so dass sich der Außenradius des Grundkörpers Abschnittsweise vergrößert und ein Exzenter vorliegt, durch den der Bohrstrang beim Bohren zeitweise anhebbar ist. Das exzentrisch ausgeführte Bohrstrangelement führt bei jeder Umdrehung zu einem anheben des Bohrstrangs. Durch das Anheben wird der Strömungsquerschnitt im oberen Bereich des Bohrlochs reduziert was dazu führt, dass die Bohrspülung an der Bohrlochsohle entlang strömt. Dadurch wird abgelagertes Bohrklein wieder an die Bohrspülung übergeben.The provision of two different clear cross sections, in which the clear cross section of the opening and / or inlet opening is larger than the clear cross section of the outlet opening, makes it possible in a particularly simple manner to provide a higher pressure level at the nozzle outlet. This ensures a higher flow rate of the flushing medium at the outlet. As a result, the flushing medium escapes more aggressively. This can be used in particular when drilling cuttings are deliberately to be whirled up at the same time, the mountains in which the borehole is being made or the rock of the borehole wall is made in such a way that there is no danger at a high pressure level in the interior of the drill string and thus at the nozzle outlet that the borehole is expanded by the flushing medium escaping. Because the clear cross-section of the opening, the inlet opening and / or the outlet opening is adjustable, the desired parameters of the flushing medium can be adjusted / set particularly easily. The fact that at least one nozzle and / or diaphragm is arranged in the opening, the inlet opening, within the flow channel and / or in the outlet opening, preferably at least one nozzle and / or diaphragm being interchangeable, allows the desired ones Provide delivery parameters particularly easily. By changing the nozzle (s), the parameters desired at the operating point of the drill string element can be set particularly easily. As a result, different pressure levels within the drill pipe depending on the drill length are compensated for in a particularly simple manner. Furthermore, since the outlet opening is arranged essentially axially to the central axis of the drill string element, the flushing medium is dispensed along the drill string, which leads to movement of the cuttings, in particular if it has settled. Furthermore, widening of the borehole is avoided by direct action of the flushing medium that is emitted on the borehole wall. Characterized in that the at least one body, preferably the one body, extends on the base body, so that the outer radius of the base body increases in sections and there is an eccentric through which the drill string can be temporarily raised during drilling. The eccentrically designed drill string element causes the drill string to rise with every revolution. By lifting the flow cross-section in the upper area of the borehole is reduced, which leads to the drilling fluid flowing along the bottom of the borehole. As a result, deposited cuttings are returned to the drilling fluid.

Es ist allerdings auch möglich, diesen durch andere, dem Fachmann bekannte Verbindungsarten auf dem Grundkörper 11 anzuordnen. Der Körper 17 weist an einer Seitenfläche 18 eine Aufnahme- und Transportfläche 19 auf, mit der bei Rotation des Bohrstrangs (Rotationsrichtung A) und damit auch bei der Rotation des Bohrstrangelements 10, das auf einer Sohle 101 eines Bohrlochs 100 in einem Ringraum 102 zwischen Außenwand 16 des Grundkörpers 11 und einer Bohrlochwand 103 Bohrklein (nicht dargestellt) von der Aufnahme- und Transportfläche 19 von der Bohrlochsohle 101 aufgenommen und entlang der Aufnahme- und Transportfläche 19 bei der Rotation des Bohrstangenelements 10 von der Sohle 101 wegbewegt wird, bis das Bohrklein am hinteren Ende 20 der Aufnahme- und Transportfläche 19 angekommen ist, an dem das Bohrklein die Aufnahme- und Transportfläche 19 verlässt und wieder dem fließenden Bohrspülungsmedium in Flussrichtung B zugeführt wird, um aus dem Bohrloch 100 durch den Ringraum 102 abtransportiert zu werden. Die Aufnahme des Bohrkleins erfolgt an der Spitze 21 der Aufnahme- und Transportfläche 19.On the outer wall 16 of the base body 11, a body 17 is arranged, which is designed like a helix. In the preferred embodiment, the body 17 is welded onto the base body 11. However, it is also possible to arrange this on the base body 11 using other types of connection known to the person skilled in the art. The body 17 has a receiving and transport surface 19 on a side surface 18, with which, when the drill string rotates (direction of rotation A) and thus also during the rotation of the drill string element 10, which rests on a sole 101 of a borehole 100 in an annular space 102 between the outer wall 16 of the base body 11 and a borehole wall 103 drill cuttings (not shown) received by the receiving and transport surface 19 from the borehole bottom 101 and moved along the receiving and transport surface 19 during the rotation of the drill rod element 10 from the sole 101 until the drill cuttings on has arrived at the rear end 20 of the receiving and transport surface 19, at which the cuttings leave the receiving and transport surface 19 and are returned to the flowing drilling fluid in the direction of flow B in order to be transported out of the borehole 100 through the annular space 102. The cuttings are picked up at the tip 21 of the receiving and transport surface 19.
Der Grundkörper 11 weist einen Innenraum 22 auf, wie dieses in
Der Strömungskanal 24 erstreckt sich innerhalb der Wandung 27 des Grundkörpers 11 und/oder im Körper 17 bis zu einer Austrittsöffnung 28.

Alternativ können statt der Düsen auch Blenden vorgesehen sein.The flow channel 24 extends within the wall 27 of the base body 11 and / or in the body 17 to an outlet opening 28. A nozzle 29 is also arranged in the outlet opening 28 and defines the clear cross section of the outlet opening 28. Alternatively, orifices can also be provided instead of the nozzles.
Die Austrittsöffnung 28 ist in einer rückseitig angeordneten Seitenfläche 30 des Körpers 17 angeordnet. Die Anordnung ist dabei axial zur Bohrlochmitte vorgesehen. Ein Einfallen dazu in radialer Richtung ist ebenfalls möglich, beispielsweise wenn die Bohrlochwand durch den abgegebenen Strahl der Bohrsuspension nicht gelöst wird.The outlet opening 28 is arranged in a rear side surface 30 of the body 17. The arrangement is provided axially to the center of the borehole. An incidence in the radial direction is also possible, for example if the borehole wall is not released by the jet of the drilling suspension.
Die Eintrittsöffnung 25 bzw. der Strömungskanal 24 im Bereich der Eintrittsöffnung 25 erstreckt sich bis zur Oberseite 31 des Körpers 17, um einen Zugang zur Eintrittsöffnung 25 bzw. Öffnung 23 bereitzustellen, über den die Düse 26 auswechselbar ist. In dieser Zugangsöffnung 32 ist ein Blindflansch 33 angeordnet. Dieser ist demontierbar, um die Düse 26 wechseln zu können.The inlet opening 25 or the flow channel 24 in the region of the inlet opening 25 extends up to the top 31 of the body 17 in order to provide access to the inlet opening 25 or opening 23, via which the nozzle 26 can be exchanged. A blind flange 33 is arranged in this access opening 32. This can be removed in order to be able to change the nozzle 26.
