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.

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 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.

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 the challenging downhole environment, drilling tools are normally subject to high temperature, severe vibration, and other harsh operation conditions. The drilling activities generate massive field data, namely field reliability big data (FRBD), which includes downhole operation, environment, failure, degradation, and dynamic data. Field reliability big data has large size, high variety, and extreme complexity. FRBD presents abundant opportunities and great challenges for drilling tool reliability analytics. Consequently, as one of the key factors to affect drilling tool reliability, the downhole vibration factor plays an essential role in the reliability analytics based on FRBD. This paper reviews the important parameters of downhole drilling operations, examines the mode, physical and reliability impact of downhole vibration, and presents the features of reliability big data analytics. Specifically, this paper explores the application of vibration factor in reliability big data analytics covering tool lifetime/failure prediction, prognostics/diagnostics, condition monitoring (CM), and maintenance planning and optimization. Furthermore, the authors highlight the future research about how to better apply the downhole vibration factor in reliability big data analytics to further improve tool reliability and optimize maintenance planning.

Abstract With the vigorous development of offshore oil and gas resources in the world, underwater extended reach horizontal wells have been widely used. However, due to the complicated stress and serious corrosion of drill pipes in horizontal wells, drill pipes are vulnerable to damage. After a period of service at sea, some drill tools will be placed in coastal areas for a long time. The cumulative fatigue of drilling tools is not easy to master. In the past year or two, drilling tool failure has become more and more frequent. In order to evaluate the fatigue of drilling tools in different periods and master the quantitative fatigue of drilling tools, the metal magnetic memory method has its unique advantages in detecting the stress concentration and early damage of ferromagnetic materials. The self-developed metal magnetic memory detection device is used to detect the drilling tools in the drilling tool base. The results show that the gradient peak value and ladder are used to detect the drilling tools in the drilling tool base. The average degree can be used to classify the fatigue of drilling tools, and the metal magnetic memory method is more than sensitive to various defects of drilling tools, such as penetration, internal corrosion, external corrosion, wall thickness thinning, etc.


Advance in extraction of mineral resources is one of the most prioritized problems of mining industry in Russia and other countries. Herewith, drilling and blasting operations are the most important mining stages, the relevant expenses reach up to 50% of total mining costs. Drilling tool is the most important and highly loaded element of drilling assembly determining the efficiency of blasthole drilling. Existing designs of drill bits of Russian and foreign manufacturers are nondismountable, that is, are beyond repair or reclaim, especially in field conditions. For instance, in the case of failure of one bearing support, the drill bit fails and is rejected. Despite numerous types of drilling tools, their stressed state has been studied sufficiently only for serially fabricated drill bits. Therefore, it is important to study strength properties of dismountable drilling tools which provide the maximum operation lifetime of the basic parts (body and coupling). Complete information about loads acting on the main elements of drill bits is required to improve designs of dismountable drilling tools. This work analyzes stress and strain state of dismountable drill bits with spherical cutters (RSShD) using finite element models in ANSYS software environment. Predictions are made for the cases of maximum loads exerted by highly efficient drilling rigs on the drill bit and heterogeneous distribution of these loads over elements of the drill bit. Distributions of equivalent stress fields occurring in drill bit body, bearing supports and cutters are presented. Drill bit operability in various operation modes is analyzed

The article presents the results of bench and industrial tests of drilling tools magnetic catchers with the parallel connection of permanent magnets. The catchers are developed on the basis of optimization studies of the mathematical model of the U-shaped magnetic system. The catchers on ferrite-barium magnets with U-shaped magnetic systems showed very low characteristics. The catcher with unshielded magnetic system also showed low power and magnetic parameters. Production tests of such a catcher in a real iron ore well demonstrated its unsuitability for the extraction of the drilling tool elements. Laboratory studies of a magnetic catcher with the shielded U-shaped magnetic system on powerful rare earth magnets have shown that it has high power and magnetic parameters. Its industrial tests in the mine showed high efficiency of the extraction of the drilling tool broken off elements, in particular, crowns and pneumatic hammers. A catcher with the parallel connection of rare-earth magnets with step-shaped magnetic cores was also studied. It has even higher characteristics. The use of step magnetic cores allows to reduce the consumption of magnetic materials by a third. The best results were shown by a catcher with a quadruply connected magnetic system made according to the cruciform configuration on rare earth magnets. The results of the experimental studies well agree with the calculated data, the difference is 10-20%.

Abstract A review of the utilization of Drilling Equipment highlighted an opportunity to lower operational cost for the Operator, reduce Capital Employed for the Service Company, and reduce industry Scope 1 CO2 emissions. The Operator and the Oilfield Services Company set the objective of developing a risk-based probability model that could be used to assess the positive and negative financial impacts of reducing, or perhaps entirely removing, the need for backup drilling tools in the historically risk-averse UK North Sea. The scope of the analysis was to be a drilling campaign on a single rig contracted by the Operator (Rig A). The last three years of Drilling tool reliability data from North Sea operations, as recorded by the Drilling Service Provider, were used as an input. To assess the probability of failure, a Binomial Model was developed to create a Binomial Distribution for each tool, before determining the probability of failure of a given drilling string. The method calculates the probability of having 0 to X failures for a selected Drilling tool/string for a given number of runs. Three Binomial Models were developed to analyze the effect of "Easy", "Moderate" and "Challenging" drilling environments on drilling tool reliability. A financial risk model was developed that balanced the probability-weighted cost of failure for the Operator against the lower costs resulting from reduced tool provision by the Service Provider. In order to better estimate the risks and financial impacts on the project, Sensitivity Analysis was performed on the financial risk model using the three Binomial Models. Scope 1 CO2 emission reductions result from fewer logistical movements and diminished backup tool manufacturing requirements. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that recent improvements in tool reliability support a reduction in backup Drilling tools for the majority of North Sea drilling scenarios, meeting the objective of reducing well construction cost while lowering carbon footprint. Open discussions, focused on maximizing economic hydrocarbon recovery, reducing costs for the Operator, improving Return on Capital Employed for the Oilfield Services Provider and reducing Scope 1 CO2 emissions, resulted in a commercial model that could deliver a Win-Win scenario for all parties. It was observed that the approach was scalable, and would deliver further benefit from a broader workscope, generating "network" benefits when applied to a cluster of rigs, and/or an entire play/basin. In addition, the risk model can be applied to alternative industry scenarios where strong reliability data exist.

The directional well drilling technology is extensively utilized and developed throughout the world. However, series of drilling problems occurred in the operation process of directional drilling. In order to reduce the friction of drilling tools, an oscillation tool with a fluidic amplifier has been field tested, and the pressure pulse of oscillation tool has been obtained. Field test results have shown that the oscillation tool has an extensive flexibility to directional well drilling, and the oscillation tool could stably actuate the drilling tool to have reciprocating vibration, which contributes to the friction and drag reduction of drilling tools. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the pressure pulse value generated by pumped fluid varies with input flow rate, and the pressure of oscillation tool increases while the flow rate is increasing. In addition, the motion frequency of the oscillation tool is exponentially increasing with the raise of pumped flow rate.

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.
