Dynamic Analysis of Bit Vibration Load Characteristics in Multi-source Excitation Friction Reduction Technology for Horizontal Wells
摘要
The drilling of extended-reach horizontal wells is hindered by high friction and resistance, leading to low drilling efficiency. Traditional axial vibration dampening tools have limitations in addressing this issue in long horizontal sections.
MethodsThis paper proposes a multi-source excitation strategy with multiple hydraulic excitation tools (HETs) distributed along the drill string. A dynamic model of the drill string incorporating HET output characteristics is constructed to analyze the effects of tool quantity, spatial arrangement (HET spacing), and output parameters on vibration load energy transfer efficiency and friction reduction at the drill bit.
ResultsTwo HETs significantly enhance vibrational energy transfer and distribution. At 15 Hz excitation frequency and 36 kN excitation force, with specific tool placements (190 m from the bit and 200 m from the first tool), the vibration friction reduction rate reaches approximately 64%, improving drilling pressure energy transfer efficiency.
ConclusionThis study provides theoretical insights and practical guidance for enhancing drilling pressure energy transfer in extended-reach horizontal well drilling and offers new perspectives on multi-source excitation technology applications in complex well conditions.
