Particle jet impact drilling technology is an efficient non-contact rock-breaking method to overcome slow drilling speed, which has great development and application potential in drilling speed-increase of hard formation and deep well. High efficiency drilling technology and rock-breaking speed-increase mechanism in high temperature, high pressure and high hardness formations of deep and ultra-deep wells were mainly focused and keynoted in this paper. With extensive investigation of domestic and foreign literature, the working principle, key technical devices, deep-well-rock mechanical characteristic, unconventional constitutive model and rock-breaking mechanism of particle jet impact drilling technology were analyzed, which proved the feasibility and high efficiency for deep and hard stratum, and also, dynamic failure mechanism of rock needs to be elaborated by constructing the constitutive model with high temperature and pressure. Meanwhile, the major problems to be solved at present and development direction future were summarized, which mainly included: miniaturization of drilling equipment and individualization of drilling bit; optimization of jet parameters and the evaluation method of rock-breaking effect; establishment of mechanical property and unconventional constitutive model of deep-well-rock; rock-breaking mechanism and dynamic response under particle jet coupling impact.

Field test of particle impact drilling (PID) technology was firstly carried out in deep well and hard formation in Sichuan province china on Oct. 2013. The test formation was named Xu Jiahe, which was very difficult to penetration. Field test result shows that the ROP (rate of penetration) was nearly doubled by this technology. It indicates that there is a profound application prospect of particle impact drilling, especially for hard rock formation. In this paper, the equipment and working principle was analyzed. The experiment and simulation results showed that the rock breaking efficiency was highly increased by this technology. The details of this field test were presented too in this paper that proved the sound effect of PID.

Aimed at the technical problems of low drilling speed and difficult rock-breaking in deep-well and hard rock-stratum, particle waterjet coupled impact rock-breaking technology in rotary drilling is put forward in this paper. Firstly, the working principle of particle jet impact rock-breaking in rotary drilling was introduced, and the acceleration model of particle jet and the damage model of rock were established. The acceleration mechanism of particles and dynamic damage evolution process of rock under particle jet were studied, which showed that the broken pit and rock damage would increase with time gone on, and damage evolution of rock presented the radial expansion. Then, experimental device of particle jet coupled impact rock-breaking in rotary state was developed, and the effect of jet parameters on penetration depth and failure volume was analyzed with comparison of la experiment and numerical simulation. The results showed that drilling speed with particle jet impact is twice that of conventional drilling, and combination nozzles layout of impact angle with 8°and 20° can achieve rock-drilled rapidly, which also demonstrated the correctness of simulation method. The device development and the rock-breaking results analysis would be of great value for engineering application.

PDC bit drilling rate equation is one measuring criterion of PDC bit work efficiency. The reasonable PDC bit drilling rate equation could predict the penetration rate and provide guidance for field operation. This paper studied the influences of the parameters on PDC bit drilling rate, such as rock drillability, cutting teeth diameter, specific weight on bit and rotate speed, and regressed the relation equations between the above parameters and drilling rate for cement rock, white sandstone, yellow sandstone, red sandstone and granite based on the laboratory rock breaking experiments. The results showed that the regression equation between specific weight on bit and drilling rate is quadratic polynomial for the soft and intermediate hardness rock, such as cement rock, yellow sandstone and white sandstone. The regression equation is quartic polynomial, the regression equation between rotate speed and drilling rate is quadratic polynomial for the intermediate hardness rock, such as red sandstone. The field data verification results of Daqing Oilfield medium-deep well showed the fractional error in actual drilling speed and forecast drilling speed between 3.03% and 9.23% and the average error is 6.397%. This explained that the modified PDC bit drilling rate equation could describe the drilling law preferably.

As a new efficient rock-breaking technology, harmonic impact drilling technology has received great attention, but the research on its rock-breaking mechanism is insufficient, which limits its development. Based on the theory of vibration, a simplified model of high-frequency harmonic vibration impact system is established in this paper. The numerical model was solved by Matlab and the motion equations of drill bit and rock at different stages of motion are obtained, respectively. Based on the factor analysis of the mathematical model, the dynamic characteristics of the impact system under harmonic excitation are studied. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to further analyze the drilling effect of harmonic impact drilling and verify the correctness of the simplified model. The results show that when the excitation frequency equals the resonance frequency of rock, the vibration displacement of rock reaches the peak value. The drilling speed is greatly increased by harmonic impact drilling compared with conventional drilling.

Due to the inefficiency problem of the cut blasting in rock excavation and rock breaking, a shell radial shaped charge device was proposed based of the ideal of ‘cutting to slotting’ and it was validated through experiments. For this device, the shell materials are used to be shaped materials and multiple shaped ring is designed on the circular tube. It can not only reduce charge quantity but also raise the utilization ratio of explosive energy. After explosion, multiple radial shaped charge jets can be formed along the axial line in sequence and then the surrounding rock mass would be cracked. The crack network will be formed along with the further extension of the fraction under the action of quasi static loading of detonation gas. The shell radial shaped charge device was tested through the cut blasting model experiment. Experimental results show that the utilization ratio of blasting hole nearly approaches 98% with this device. The blasting efficiency and cyclical footage can be improved effectively and the cost of drifting can also be reduced.
