Abstract Internal motion and dynamics mechanism studies of a new composite percussion drilling tool aim at reducing stick-slip phenomenon and improving rock breaking efficiency. In this study, experiments are performed using composite percussion drilling tools to investigate its torsional and axial composite impact performance. According to the experimental results, a six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) rigid body motion model was established to study the passive motion of a torsional hammer. The obtained results, including the tangential acceleration, were verified with experimental data, and the small pressure differences between the high and low pressure areas, which mainly determined by the inlet structure, is the main reason for the poor torsional impact effects. Based on these discoveries, the improved design increases the inlet flow to 17.2% of the total, the pressure differences to 0.05 MPa, and the instantaneous tangential acceleration to 0.198 m/s2, which results in increased tangential acceleration fluctuation amplitude by 1137.5% and greatly improved torsional impact performance. This research can provide a baseline for stick-slip reduction technology optimization.

A technical solution is proposed for the elimination the grabbing of drilling tool, based on the use of energy due to the circulation of the drilling fluid. The expediency eliminating the grabbing drilling tool using the hydro-impulse method is substantiated. A method of drawing up a mathematical model for the dynamic process of a grabbing string of drill pipes in the case of perturbation of hydro-impulse oscillations in the area of the productive rock layer is developed. The law of longitudinal displacements arising in the trapped string is obtained, which allows choosing the optimal geometrical parameters of the passage channels and the frequency rotational of shutter for these channels. Recommendations for using this method for practical use have been systematized.

This paper presents a new drilling tool with multidirectional and controllable vibrations for enhancing the drilling rate of penetration and reducing the wellbore friction in complex well structure. Based on the structure design, the working mechanism is analyzed in downhole conditions. Then, combined with the impact theory and the drilling process, the theoretical models including the various impact forces are established. Also, to study the downhole performance, the bottom hole assembly dynamics characteristics in new condition are discussed. Moreover, to study the influence of key parameters on the impact force, the parabolic effect of the tool and the rebound of the drill string were considered, and the kinematics and mechanical properties of the new tool under working conditions were calculated. For the importance of the roller as a vibration generator, the displacement trajectory of the roller under different rotating speed and weight on bit was compared and analyzed. The reliable and accuracy of the theoretical model were verified by comparing the calculation results and experimental test results. The results show that the new design can produce a continuous and stable periodic impact. By adjusting the design parameter matching to the working condition, the bottom hole assembly with the new tool can improve the rate of penetration and reduce the wellbore friction or drilling stick-slip with benign vibration. The analysis model can also be used for a similar method or design just by changing the relative parameters. The research and results can provide references for enhancing drilling efficiency and safe production.

This study describes a novel process to drill small holes in brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramic using a self-elastic polycrystalline diamond (PCD) drilling tool. In order to improve the surface roughness and reduce crack of the small holes, a new type of self-elastic PCD drilling tool equipped with vibration absorbing materials inside the housing was developed to fabricate small holes in glass in this study. The self-elastic PCD drilling tools could absorb the mechanical force by the vibration absorbing materials while the PCD tool penetrates into the small holes. Compared to conventional PCD drilling tools, the experimental results show that high-quality small holes drilled in glass can be achieved with cracking as small as 0.02mm on the outlet surface using the self-elastic PCD drilling tool.

Abstract With the advancement of LWD (Logging While Drilling) hardware and acquisition, the imaging technology becomes not only an indispensable part of the drilling tool string, but also the image resolution increases to map layers and heterogeneity features down to less than 5mm scale. This shortens the geological interpretation turn-around time from wireline logging time (hours to days after drilling) to semi-real time (drilling time or hours after drilling). At the same time, drilling motion is complex. The depth tracking is on the surface referenced to the surface block movement. The imaging sensor located downhole can be thousands of feet away from the surface. Mechanical torque and drag, wellbore friction, wellbore temperature and weight on bit can make the downhole sensor movement motion not synchronized with surface pipe depth. This will cause time- depth conversion step generate image artifacts that either stop real-time interpretation of geological features or mis-interpret features on high resolution images. In this paper, we present several LWD images featuring distortion mechanism during the drilling process using synthetic data. We investigated how heave, depth reset and downhole sensor stick/slip caused image distortions. We provide solutions based on downhole sensor pseudo velocity computation to minimize the image distortion. The best practice in using Savitsky-Golay filter are presented in the discussion sections. Finally, some high-resolution LWD images distorted with drilling-related artifacts and processed ones are shown to demonstrate the importance of image post-processing. With the proper processed images, we can minimize interpretation risks and make drilling decisions with more confidence.

A versatile and efficient numerical analysis is developed to compute the responses of a moored floating system composed of multiple floating structures. Structures such as tankers, semisubmersibles, FPSOs, SPARs, TLPs, and SPMs connected by mooring lines, connectors or fenders may be analyzed individually or collectively including multiple interaction. The analysis is carried out in the time domain assuming rigid body motion for the structures, and the solution is generated by a forward integration scheme. The analysis includes the nonlinearities in the excitation, damping, and restoring terms encountered in a typical mooring system configuration. It also allows for instabilities in the tower oscillation as well as slack mooring lines. Certain simplifications in the analysis have been made, which are discussed. The exciting forces in the analysis are wind, current, and waves (including a steady and an oscillating drift force), which are not necessarily collinear. The waves can be single frequency or composed of multiple frequency components. For regular waves either linear, stretched linear or fifth order theory may be used. The irregular wave may be included as a given spectral model (e.g., PM or JONSWAP). The vessels are free to respond to the exciting forces in six degrees of freedom—surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, and yaw. The tower, when present, is free to respond in two degrees of freedom—oscillation and precession. The loads in the mooring lines are determined from prescribed tension-strain tables for the lines. Rigid mooring arms can be analyzed by allowing for compression in the load-strain table. Fenders may be input similarly through load compression tables. In order to establish the stability and accuracy of the solution, comparison of the results with linearized frequency domain analysis was made. The analysis is verified by several different model test results for different structure configurations in regular and random seas. Some of the interesting aspects of nonlinear system are shown with a few examples.

In drilling field, drill-strings stick-slip vibration is a common phenomenon and may lead to a series of drilling accidents. In order to improve drilling efficiency, this paper commits to study a new control system to suppress the undesired stick-slip vibration. In this work, a two degrees of freedom lumped parameter model is established to imitate the drill-strings. A state observer is proposed to estimate the unknown drill-strings states. A reference governor is put forward to optimize drilling parameters. In addition, in order to enhance the anti-interference ability of the closed-loop system, a torque feed forward is introduced into the control system. Based on the state observer and the reference governor, a state feedback and torque feed forward combined controller is designed. The simulation results indicate preliminarily that the designed state feedback and torque feed forward controller, compared with the drilling industry PI controller, has better dynamic performance and stronger ability to eliminate the drill-strings stick-slip vibration. Finally, the control system is applied in the drilling field. The experimental tests demonstrate that the designed controller can effectively suppress the drill-strings stick-slip vibration.

Mechanical automatic vertical drilling tools (MAVDT) have gradually gained attention as a drilling tool that can achieve active correction in harsh working environments such as high temperature and high pressure. The gravity sensing mechanism can sense the deviation and convert the deviation signal into the control signal to drive the actuator to correct the deviation. It is the core component of the mechanical automatic vertical drilling tool. This paper analyzes the force on the gravity sensing mechanism based on the structural analysis of the mechanical automatic vertical drilling tool. Then, the general dynamic equation of the gravity sensing mechanism is established based on D’Alembert principle. The critical response position where the acceleration value is zero is used as the research object to complete the preliminary design and analysis of the sensing mechanism. Through analysis, it can be found that there is a conflict between the response accuracy and control stability of the gravity sensing mechanism. High response accuracy often means poor control stability. For the gravity sensing mechanism with definite structural parameters, there is a limit value of the allowable friction coefficient. When the friction coefficient of the thrust bearing exceeds the limit value, the gravity sensing mechanism cannot achieve the inclination response no matter how big the inclination angle and deflection angle are. The friction coefficient between the disc valves and the force between the disc valves of the gravity sensing mechanism have a linear effect on the performance of the mechanism, and the smaller the deviation angle, the greater the influence coefficient of the force or the friction coefficient between the disc valves on the length of the gravity sensing mechanism. During the process of dynamic swing, the dynamic stable position of the gravity sensing mechanism is related to the relative relationship between the restoring force of the mechanism and the friction damping. To be precise, it is related to the potential energy zero point and the speed zero point during the gravity sensing mechanism swing process before it reaches the dynamic stable position.

The parameters of drilling boreholes (including depth, diameter, angle of borehole inclination, cross-section) that are currently used for the making bored piles under the conditions of dense urban area, have been considered. The review about modern technologies of drilling boreholes used for making bored piles has been prepared. The updated classification of drilling technologies used for the making bored piles, which taking into account the nature of the removal of the destroyed rock and the movement of the drilling tool, the type of drilling tool, as well as the method of mounting the borehole walls, has been proposed. The classification, according to the nature of removal of the destroyed rock, distinguishes technologies providing or not providing the removal of destroyed rock. According to the nature of movement of the drilling tool, the rotary, shock and vibration technologies, as well as a static indentation technology, can be identified. According to the type of drilling tools, the classification divides methods into hollow drill stem with sacrificial drill bit and soil compactor and displacement tools with a starter auger section, augers, drilling buckets, core barrels, belling buckets, roller, impact and three-way bits, grabs. According to the methods of well casing, the technologies can be divided into the ones, allowing and not allowing the casing of well.

In vehicle system dynamics, the effect of the gyroscopic moments can be significant during curve negotiations. The absolute angular velocity of the body can be expressed as the sum of two vectors; one vector is due to the curvature of the curve, while the second vector is due to the rate of changes of the angles that define the orientation of the body with respect to a coordinate system that follows the body motion. In this paper, the configuration of the body in the global coordinate system is defined using the trajectory coordinates in order to examine the effect of the gyroscopic moments in the case of curve negotiations. These coordinates consist of arc length, two relative translations and three relative angles. The relative translations and relative angles are defined with respect to a trajectory coordinate system that follows the motion of the body on the curve. It is shown that when the yaw and roll angles relative to the trajectory coordinate system are constrained and the motion is predominantly rolling, the effect of the gyroscopic moment on the motion becomes negligible, and in the case of pure rolling and zero yaw and roll angles, the generalized gyroscopic moment associated with the system degrees of freedom becomes identically zero. The analysis presented in this investigation sheds light on the danger of using derailment criteria that are not obtained using laws of motion, and therefore, such criteria should not be used in judging the stability of railroad vehicle systems. Furthermore, The analysis presented in this paper shows that the roll moment which can have a significant effect on the wheel/rail contact forces depends on the forward velocity in the case of curve negotiations. For this reason, roller rigs that do not allow for the wheelset forward velocity cannot capture these moment components, and therefore, cannot be used in the analysis of curve negotiations. A model of a suspended railroad wheelset is used in this investigation to study the gyroscopic effect during curve negotiations.
