Definitions
- the invention relates to a cost-effective method for calibrating magnetic field sensors in a high-precision directional drill for early, reliable and timely determination of the wellbore under specification of a selectable course of the drill hole for deep drilling and a Richtbohr réelle which a housing, a in the housing rotating chisel drive shaft whose, preferably protruding from the housing, end carries a rotary drill bit, arranged in the housing control device and the same connected magnetic field sensors, arranged in the housing direction control devices for generating straightening forces with radially alignable force components for aligning the directional drill at drilling operations.
- Directional drilling is also the name given to drilling methods that allow the direction of a hole to be influenced.
- Magnetic north sensors are placed in non-magnetisable steels at a sufficient distance from all parts that cause a magnetic influence. Only in this way can magnetically be detected and influenced in the correct, ie predetermined, direction unaffected magnetically.
- Modern Rotary Steerable systems incorporate just the inclination measurement directly into their system, and the directional sensors are located in a sector several meters behind, which is non-magnetic to magnetically detect north with the required accuracy. The incorporation of the directional sensors and the detection of magnetic north in the directional drill together with the tilt sensors would without appropriate corrections lead to magnetic misalignments and allow large inaccuracies in the direction determination.
- Richtbohrella comprise a tubular housing.
- the housing at least with its foot portion, which is remote from the rotary drill bit, the Bohrrohrstrang, also called drill string, on. in the head portion of the housing, the rotary drill bit is arranged; at least a portion of the bit drive shaft to which the rotary drill bit is coupled is also rotatably disposed in the head portion of the housing.
- the foot section merges into the body portion of the housing, which merges into the head section.
- the magnetic field sensors are located as far as possible from the head portion and the body portion of the housing in the foot portion of the housing of conventional directional drilling apparatuses in order to try to detect the magnetic misalignments that also occur during operation of the rotary drill bit due to in the head portion and body portion of the housing built-in devices, components, etc., and at least to reduce their magnetic field sensor influences by the distance or spacing of the magnetic field sensors from the head portion of the housing of the conventional directional drilling apparatus.
- the spatial distance of the magnetic field sensors of the head portion and body portion is still affecting the Ermittölung determined by magnetic field sensors position data of conventional directional drilling, so that the directional deep drilling with the conventional directional drilling does not match the desired course of solvegetuften borehole.
- Another object of the invention relates to a reliable high-precision directional drill for continuous operation with automatic, finely controlled monitoring of targeted drilling at great depths under specification of a selectable course of the borehole with a housing, one, preferably rotating in the housing, on their from the housing projecting end of a drill bit carrying chisel drive shaft, a control device, preferably a plurality of arranged in the housing directional control means for generating straightening forces with radially alignable force components for aligning the directional drill in drilling operation and with the control device connected magnetic field sensors, which is characterized in that the magnetic field sensors in a front , the drill bit facing area, drill near chimney area, arranged the housing and by means of a Homogeneous magnetic field generated by Helmholtz coils ka are librated.
- Devices are known in the art for drilling down vertical bores or holes with a course of curvature, in particular large boreholes, which meet the requirements of the practice, namely with regard to economy and safety, but in particular also with regard to the accuracy of the orientation of the borehole. inadequate account. It is essential that drilling for directional drilling in great depths are controllable and controllable. The controllability is essential to check the position of the borehole and the course of the bore and to correct any undesirable deviations. Controllability is also essential, for example, to maintain both the verticality of the deep hole and its curvature and, if possible, intervene in the drilling process during operation.
- Deviations from boreholes occur precisely in the deep rock of the rock formations, also due to the occurrence of different hardnesses of hard rock or loose rock. Also, deviations occur in the bore due to the excess length of the drill string, also called drill string, and the variable force exerted on the drill string.
- a lathe chisel e.g. Directional drill
- a lathe chisel for sinking vertical or curvature-related holes comprising a drilling tool, on its outer side circumferentially outwardly pivotable control ribs, also called skids, clamping pieces, sliding ribs, etc., arranged, which are applied kraftbeaufschlagt against the wall of the wellbore.
- a deflection of the rotary boring bit of the conventional device in the opposite direction is caused. It turns out, however, that the conventional device is to be controlled only from the outside of a control station every day.
- interference fields in the deep direction drilling continue to maintain the predetermined depth with respect to the three spatial directions and the inclination, without requiring overtone intervention, even during ongoing drilling operation, in contrast to the state of the art, since the surface intervention only occurs as a result of the introduction of the conventional borehole Measuring device in the borehole is possible.
- a conventional downhole sensor which is capable of detecting the spatial directions of a site in a wellbore and detecting deviations thereof from setpoints, but the conventional downhole sensor does not simultaneously permit sinking on the one hand and continuous control of the downhole Monitoring the directional variables on the other hand during drilling on site, ie the conventional rotary drilling rig to its own, this attributed to the sinking direction sizes.
- magnetic field sensors can be used in a borehole measuring method, which are arranged to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the device and thereby deliver signals induced by the existing geomagnetism signals to the control station, however, remain the magnetic field sensors at a long distance from the rotary drill bit so that one can neither detect minor changes in the course of the borehole nor intervene early in the operation of deep boring for correction.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which calibrates magnetic field sensors in a directional drill in a simple manner.
- the method should detect deviations of the directional drilling rig during operation in deep drilling already in advance and store corrective measures.
- the directional drill to be provided should be able to readily detect minor deviations from the desired course of the borehole when drilling at great depths.
- the directional drilling apparatus to be provided should have magnetic field sensors in the vicinity of the drill bit.
- the directional drill should not only already detect minor deviations from the desired course of the borehole, but also take early corrective measures to maintain the desired bore course.
- the directional drilling apparatus to be provided should correct the deep directional drilling in the case of changes in the course of the bore without the risk of the influence of magnetic interference fields on the orientation.
- the control of the directional drilling apparatus via an overhead control station should be superfluous to the extent that it is relieved of the implementation of corrective measures due to undesired borehole deviations and is only responsible for controlling the deep well as such.
- the directional drilling rig to be provided is intended to control itself in real time, in order to avoid the costly lengthening of the boring section as a result of later deviations from deviation.
- the method to be provided should be cost-effective to carry out the calibration of the directional drill, so that the problem solved by Schlumberger Technology BV, but solved by Schlumberger Technology BV, is solved in drill rigs close to the drill bit, and the complicated and fault-prone method proposed by Schlumberger Technology BV is avoided.
