Fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOGs)-based Measurement While Drilling system (MWD) is a newly developed instrument to survey the borehole trajectory continuously and in real time. However, because of the strong vibration while drilling, the measurement accuracy of FOG-based MWD deteriorates. It is urgent to improve the measurement accuracy while drilling. Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative scheme for the vibration error of the FOG-based MWD. Firstly, the nonlinear error models for the FOGs and ACCs are established. Secondly, a 36-order Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) combined with a calibration method based on 24-position is designed to identify the coefficients in the error model. Moreover, in order to obtain a higher accurate error model, an iterative calibration method has been suggested to suppress calibration residuals. Finally, vibration experiments simulating the drilling vibration in the laboratory is implemented. Compared to the original data, compensated the linear error items, the error of 3D borehole trajectory can only be reduced by a ratio from 10% to 34%. While compensating for the nonlinear error items of the FOG-based MWD, the error of 3D borehole trajectory can be reduced by a ratio from 44.13% to 97.22%. In conclusion, compensation of the nonlinear error of FOG-based MWD could improve the trajectory survey accuracy under vibration.

Abstract A bismuth oxide–based multicomponent glass system, xH3BO3-yBi2O3-(1-x-y-δ)MO-δ· rare earth oxides (REOs) with MO = TiO2, BaO, ZnO, Fe2O3, etc., and lanthanum series–based REOs, for making downhole high-pressure and high-temperature electrical feedthrough package has been developed using high-temperature melt-quenching and sintering technologies. By properly controlling phase structures in material-manufacturing processes, the obtained sealing materials have shown moisture-resistant properties in their monoclinic and tetragonal mixed phase structures but strongly hydrophobic properties in their covalent bond tetragonal phase. Sealed electrical feedthrough packages have been evaluated under boiling water immersion and 200°C/30,000 PSI water-fluid–simulated downhole harsh environments. The post electrical insulation measurement has demonstrated to be greater than 1.0 × 1014 Ω electrical resistance. This article will show that such a high–bonding strength and high–insulation strength sealing material could be used to seal electrical feed-throughs and connectors for 300°C/30,000 PSI downhole and subsea wireline, logging while drilling, and measurement while drilling tools' signal, data, and electrical power transmissions.

Abstract A bismuth oxide based multi-component glass system, xH3BO3-yBi2O3-(1-x-y-δ)MO-δ·REO with MO=TiO2, BaO, ZnO, Fe2O3, etc., and lanthanum series based rare earth oxides (REO), for making downhole high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) electrical feedthrough package, has been developed using high-temperature melt-quenching and sintering technologies. By properly controlling phase structures in the material manufacturing processes, the obtained sealing materials have shown moisture-resistant properties in their monoclinic and tetragonal mixed phase structures, but strongly hydrophobic properties in their covalent bond tetragonal phase. The sealed electrical feedthrough packages have been evaluated under boiling water immersion and 200°C/30,000PSI water-fluid simulated downhole harsh environments. The post measurement has demonstrated to be greater than 1.0×1014 Ω electrical resistance. This paper will show that such a high-bonding-strength and high-insulation-strength sealing material could be used to seal electrical feedthroughs and connectors for 300°C/30,000PSI downhole and subsea wireline, logging while drilling (LWD), and measurement while drilling (MWD) tools' signal, data, and electrical power transmissions.

Measurement while drilling (MWD) is the key for underground directional drilling in coalmine. In this paper, an uphole monitor for MWD is developed to process and display downhole measure data. Firstly, an explosion-proof computer is developed, which can be used in explosive gas atmosphere. The flameproof enclosure and intrinsic safe type of protection have been employed to meet the needs of explosion-proof and communication with measure unit. A Windows-based software is subsequently developed to show the measure result and generate the in-seam drilling trajectory. The uphole monitor has been integrated into directional drilling system and demonstrated by the application in China’s coalmines.
