Definitions

  • Att0rneyCurtis, Morris and Safford ABSTRACT A drilling tool has been provided which has a method of marking the tools as well as the tools thus marked I are within the scope of the invention. Further, the improvement in the method of drilling deep bore holes with a tool possessing these indicating means is similarly within the scope of the disclosed invention.
  • the present invention relates to the marking of tools and instruments used for deep drilling with radioactive tracer substances which serve to indicate the occurrence of the critical wear.
  • the substances emitting beta particles which have hitherto been proposed are either not suitable for the marking of drilling instruments for one of the aforesaid reasons as is for example, the case with the ionogenic chlorine, or they are difficulty accessible substances such as, for example, carbon,
  • the present invention provides a process for indicating the occurrence of the critical amount of wear upon instruments and tools by means of a radioactive tracer substance in which the radioactive tracer substance is krypton?
  • the tracer substance is advantageously used in the form of an inclusion compound. It is particularly advantageous to use krypton in the form of its clathrate with hydroquinone.
  • the tracer substance is introduced in known manner into the bore holes with which the instrument is provided and which are cut open and release the tracer substance as soon as the critical amount of wear has occurred.
  • a propellent which when coming into contact with the drilling fluid decomposes with the evolution of gas.
  • a propellent which when coming into contact with the drilling fluid decomposes with the evolution of gas.
  • alkali metals for example, sodium or potassium.
  • hydrides in particular lithium hydride or calcium hydride, since these compounds enable a particularly high yield of gas to be obtained in comparison with the volume of solid substances introduced.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a smoothing instrument which has been marked in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a roller bit marked in accordance with the invention.
  • the tracer bore hole 1 contains the tracer substance 2 and, if desired or required, the propellent 3.
  • the hole is closed by an appropriate closure 5, for example, a riveted screw or a shrinking closure, so as to be impermeable to gas.
  • Numerals 4 designate the surfaces of the marked tool which are exposed to abrasion. The thickness of the material between the bore hole 1 and the surface 4 is so designed as to correspond to the highest tolerable amount of wear.
  • the drilling fluid penetrates into the bore hole 1 and the tracer substance 2 leaves the hole, is carried to the earths surface by the drilling fluid and can there be determined by means of a known counter which by way of known devices can actuate an indicator, a warning signal or a stopping device.
  • the tracer substance may be embedded in the bore hole in a relatively large, closed capsule which may also contain the propellent. In such a case the marking need not be carried out by the manufacturer. It is sufficient to provide the part to be marked with the bore hole and to introduce the capsule immediately before use.
  • geological formation transition from Zechstein to carboniferous formation (layers of sandstone and argillaccous slate);
  • circulating fluid fluid of clay and brine; total quantity 80 cubic meters;
  • drill poles from bottom to top: diamond head, core barrel, smoothing instrument, l2 heavy bars, the rest being normal drill bars.
  • the capsules contained a mixture of about 100 millicuries of krypton in the form of hydroquinone clathrate 40 milligrams) and 150 milligrams of Lil-l which latter when reacting completely with water sufficed to produce at 100 C. pressure of l 100 atmospheres in the capsule which had a volume of 0.5 cubic centimeter.
  • the capsule was closed with a conical lead plug which had been pressed into it by means of a threaded pin.
  • the place into which the screw was introduced had been filled with a cold-setting plastic so that no gas could escape through the threads after the screw had been in troduced.
  • the point of the capsule was opened, drilling fluid entered the capsule, dissolved the clathrate and by reacting with the propellent produced hydrogen which expelled the krypton from the capsule, so that it entered the ascending fluid.
  • the krypton distributed in the fluid, one-third of the total quantity of krypton being contained in the first, uppermost cubic meter of fluid and the rest being contained in diminishing concentration in the remaining 9 of the 10 cubic meters.
  • a large area counter tube was arranged which had a surface of 260 sq. centimeters and was mounted on a float.
  • the measuring arrangement comprising counter tube, cathode follower, cable and ratemeter had a blind counting rate of 600 impulses per minute.
  • a process for marking a drilling tool to indicate when the highest permissible amount of wear has taken place comprises inserting in a cavity in the tool krypton" or a compound thereof as a gaseous nonionogenic indicator.
