Coiled tubing drilling has become an important development direction of drilling. The method of combining theoretical calculation with the experimental verification is adopted to analyze the flow of the coiled tubing drilling system. A set of experimental bench is developed, three kinds of curvature ratio of coiled tubing are used, and the frictional pressure losses of coiled tubing and partial pressure drop of each downhole tool are tested. The results of experiments with water agree well with rough pipe calculation model. The pressure losses of coiled tube are obviously larger than that of straight tube, and the value of it is about 11–17%. The larger the curvature ratio is, the more the pressure losses of coiled tubing are. The fluid experiment with the polymer presents obviously the drag reduction effect. Experiment of simulated bottom hole assembly shows that partial pressure drop of bottom hole assembly is large. It has a little effect on the pressure losses of coiled tubing when whole bottom hole assemblies are connected. The research results can be used as the basis for formulating coiled tubing drilling process parameters, which will provide a guide for engineering practice.

Hydraulic orienter has been widely used to alter the drilling direction downhole in coiled tubing drilling. A problem is encountered in construction field. When torque and drag of bottom hole assembly (BHA) are over the maximum output torque of orienter, This caused that it difficult to orient. Therefore, we need to calculate the maximum torque and drag in the process of orientation, it can provide a theoretical basis for designing and selecting the hydraulic orienter. Compared with the conventional force analysis, this paper additionally considered the case of zero weight on bit (WOB), the impact of the mud viscous forces and the relationship between dynamic and static friction, so that we can get more precise result of force analysis.

Abstract. Vibration and high shock are major factors in the failure of downhole tools. It is important to study the causes of vibration and shock formation to prevent failure of the drillstring and bottom hole assembly (BHA). At present, it is generally recognized that the vibration of drillstring is the main reason for the failure, especially the lateral vibration. In this paper, the bottom tool of Rotary Steering Drilling System (RSS) calculation model was established based on the secondary development of ABAQUS software. Starting from the initial configuration of drilling tool, considering the contact impact of drilling tool and borehole wall, the dynamic excitation of guide mechanism and the drilling pressure, torque, rotational speed, gravity, buoyancy, drilling fluid damping. The dynamic characteristics of the inherent frequency and dynamic stress of the bottom hole assembly (BHA) were calculated and analyzed, and risk assessment method based on the quantitative vibration intensity was established. The reliability of typical drilling tool is evaluated, which provides a reference for the optimization design of BHA of Rotary Steering Drilling System.

The article is devoted to the problem of bringing the desired load to the drill bit and improving the technical and economic indexes of drilling at drilling the oil and gas wells. The authors propose a bottom-hole assembly (BHA) consisting of PDC bits, downhole oscillator, screw downhole motor, measuring-while drilling system and drill pipes. The results of the proposed assembly pilot tests are presented. The tests were conducted in well No. 6053 in Sheremetyev field, Tatarstan Republic.

For S-15 and S-14 wells at South S Field, drilling of the 12-1/4” hole section became the longest tangent hole section interval of both wells. There were several challenges identified where hole problems can occur. The hole problems often occur in the unconsolidated sand layers and porous limestone formation sections of the hole during tripping in/out operations. Most of the hole problems are closely related to the design of the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA). In many instances, hole problems resulted in significant additional drilling time. As an effort to resolve this issue, a new BHA setup was then designed to enhance the BHA drilling performance and eventually eliminate hole problems while drilling. The basic idea of the enhanced BHA is to provide more annulus clearance and limber BHA. The purpose is to reduce the Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD,) less contact area with formation, and reduce packoff risk while drilling through an unconsolidated section of the rocks. Engineering simulations were conducted to ensure that the enhanced BHA were able to deliver a good drilling performance. As a results, improved drilling performance can be seen on S-14 well which applied the enhanced BHA design. The enhanced BHA was able to drill the 12-1/4” tangent hole section to total depth (TD) with certain drilling parameter. Hole problems were no longer an issue during tripping out/in operation. This improvement led to significant rig time and cost savings of intermediate hole section drilling compared to S-15 well. The new enhanced BHA design has become one of the company’s benchmarks for drilling directional wells in South S Field.

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.

There is a common problem during kill a well, which is how to quickly and accurately control the surface casing pressure according to the requirements for killing a well. A step-by-step exploration process is employed on operation sites. Continuously adjusting throttle valve to acquire surface casing pressure may lead to failure of kill operation because of its long time and low control accuracy. Obviously, if the calculation problems of throttling drawdown can be resolved,the relationship between drawdown and throttle valve opening can be found and the course of explorating can be converted into a straight course.Then the success rate of killing well can be improved. More importantly, this can make automatic controll of surface casing pressure possible. The paper built the calculation method of throttling pressure drop by theoretical analysis and verified the calculation method by adopting it into field test. The result has showed that the calculation method of throttling pressure drop coincides with experimental results and it can be used in engineering practice.
