Technology Breakthrough and Field Application of Domestically Produced Automatic Vertical Drilling System
Automatic vertical drilling system,with the technical advantages of active anti-deflection,avoiding WOB limit and improving the quality of the wellbore,is an intelligent closed-loop drilling tool integrating machinery,electricity and hydraulics,and has become one of the core equipment for anti-deflection and ROP opti-mization in easily inclined well sections such as high steep structures.Since the successful development of the three-pad push-the-bit automatic vertical drilling system in 2010,Xibu Drilling Engineering Company Limited has made breakthroughs in control theory and system structure design after many test and applications,but not realized large-scale industrial application for its short tool life,inaccurate deviation measurement of the near-bit wellbore and unstable quality.After two years of system analysis and field tests,structural improvement and control pro-gram optimization have been carried out and the working life and quality stability of the tool greatly improved,the tool life is more than 150 h in the field application of Tarim Oilfield,Xinjiang Oilfield,Qinghai Oilfield,etc.,which provides technical value for the mature application and promotion of the domestic automatic vertical drilling system.
