Development of 175 ℃ High Temperature Wellbore Trajectory Measurement System While Drilling
摘要
With the continuous advancement of oil and gas exploration and development in China, there is an urgent need to accelerate the drilling and development of deep and ultra-deep wells. In order to improve drilling efficiency and ensure drilling safety, precise control of the drill bit along a predetermined trajectory is essential. Therefore, wellbore trajectory measurement technology plays a crucial role in real-time monitoring of the wellbore trajectory drilling direction during drilling operations, ultimately ensuring the encounter with target reservoirs. However, the operating environment in deep and ultra-deep wells typically reaches temperatures as high as 175 ℃, and traditional wellbore trajectory measurement instruments have poor temperature resistance, making them unable to operate stably in high-temperature environments and difficult to accurately measure wellbore trajectory parameters. Therefore, this paper proposes a 175 ℃ high-temperature wellbore trajectory measurement system. It adopts sensors, integrated circuit chips, and discrete electronic components designed and manufactured to withstand temperatures up to 175 ℃, ensuring the system’s high-temperature resistance. The paper derives the basic principles of wellbore trajectory parameter measurement and establishes a trajectory measurement model. This model, combined with calibration algorithms, proposes error correction methods for accelerometers and fluxgate sensors based on measurement data. Laboratory testing of the system was conducted using a high-precision triaxial turntable and Helmholtz coil calibration device for wellbore trajectory parameter measurement. Experimental results demonstrate that the 175 ℃ high-temperature downhole trajectory measurement system features high measurement accuracy, good stability, and strong adaptability, meeting the needs for real-time monitoring of wellbore trajectory in high-temperature environments of deep and ultra-deep wells.
