Introduction. Drilling of frozen and permafrost soils is one of the complex and energy-intensive processes of earthworks. Drilling tools used on frozen soils implement the process of drilling the soil by deformation of cutting or crushing action. Current drilling tools are not efficient enough to use because they implement energy-intensive drilling processes and are not always suitable for various types of soils. A screw drill is considered, which implements the process of soil destruction by shear and shear deformation, which is less energy intensive.Materials and methods. On the basis of theoretical studies of the interaction of 3 types of drilling tools with frozen soil, a comparative analysis was carried out to determine the efficiency of a screw drill use. The technical and economic indicators of the drilling process were compared. A method for determining the efficiency of the use a screw drill based on the analysis of special target functions is presented.Results. The results of a comparative analysis of drilling tools have been obtained. Depending on the nature of soil deformation, the effectiveness of one drilling tool over another is determined. As a result of a comparative analysis of the drilling speed and the energy intensity of the drilling process, the efficiency of the screw drill was established.Discussions and conclusion. In the course of the comparative analysis, the efficiency of the screw drill was determied, which implements shear deformation and soil separation, justifying the feasibility of further research.

Introduction. Drilling of frozen and permafrost soils is one of the most complicated and energy-intensive processes of earthworks. The current drilling tools are not efficient enough to use since they implement energy-intensive drilling processes and are not always suitable for various types of soil. The use of helical working elements that implement the process of soil destruction with less energy-intensive types of deformations is advanced. The purpose of the research is to study the interaction of a helical blade of a drilling tool with frozen soil.Materials and methods. The article covers a method for conducting experimental studies of the interaction of a helical blade of a drilling tool with frozen ground and the tested models of the drilling tool. The influence of geometric parameters of a helical drill on a borehole formation process is studied.Results. The experimental research proved the hypothesis about the possibility of implementing a drilling process with tearing strain and obtaining a borehole diameter larger than a diameter of a destructive section of a helical blade. The dependence of the destroyed soil volume and the relation of an obtained borehole diameter to a diameter of a destroying section of a helical blade according to the angle of bend of a helical blade radius at which its increment occurs is determined.Discussions and conclusion. It is established that a helical drilling tool performs a borehole drilling due to the tearing strain implementation, which makes it possible to achieve more efficient drilling and obtain a borehole diameter larger than a diameter of the destroying section of a helical blade.Financial transparency: the authors have no financial interest in the presented materials or methods. There is no conflict of interest.

Currently, roller bits are widely used in rock drilling, which are devices with rotating rollers armed with teeth. There are various approaches in assessing the effectiveness of rock destruction by a roller drilling tool, which can be conditionally divided into structural and technological ones. In addition, all the efficiency factors of the roller bit are related to the correspondence of its characteristics and the drilling process to the properties of the rock it destroys. The article analyzes the operating conditions of the roller bit during drilling of rocks of various hardness. On the example of operation of a two-screw drill bit, the process of power interaction of the toothed weapon with rock is considered depending on various factors, such as the shape and pitch of the teeth, angle of inclination, sharpness of the tooth and others. It is shown that kinematic characteristics of interaction of toothed armament with drilled rock have a significant influence on efficiency of process of face destruction. Keywords: drill bit; drilling tool; destruction; drilling; roller cutter; rock.

The aims of the investigations presented in this paper were to measure the tool load under conditions of high performance drilling and to analyze if changes of the tool edge shape as well as the edge profile significantly influence the edge stresses. The described methods to analyze the influences of edge shape modifications will contribute to the optimization of drilling tools. Based on a specific cutting edge shape of a drilling tool, systematic changes to the tool’s chamfer and the transition from the chisel edge to the cutting edge were made. Forces and temperatures on the cutting edge were measured as well as the heat flow into the chips and the workpiece. Using a quick-stop device, chip roots of the different drill tools under conditions of high performance machining were made in order to analyze the chip formation. The contact between chip and rake face could be made visible by a so called contact area analysis. It could be shown that the modification of the transition from the chisel to the cutting edge influences the orientation of the forces on the drill. Machining with a rounded cutting edge shape compared to a chamfered edge reduces the mechanical and thermal tool load. This is confirmed by the fact that the deformation zone in front of the cutting edge is smaller as shown by the crosssections of the chip roots. The presented experimental methods show the possibility of determining influences of modified cutting edge shapes and to adapt the drill to the needs of the high performance drilling.

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 paper presents a new drilling tool with multidirectional and controllable vibrations for enhancing the drilling rate of penetration and reducing the wellbore friction in complex well structure. Based on the structure design, the working mechanism is analyzed in downhole conditions. Then, combined with the impact theory and the drilling process, the theoretical models including the various impact forces are established. Also, to study the downhole performance, the bottom hole assembly dynamics characteristics in new condition are discussed. Moreover, to study the influence of key parameters on the impact force, the parabolic effect of the tool and the rebound of the drill string were considered, and the kinematics and mechanical properties of the new tool under working conditions were calculated. For the importance of the roller as a vibration generator, the displacement trajectory of the roller under different rotating speed and weight on bit was compared and analyzed. The reliable and accuracy of the theoretical model were verified by comparing the calculation results and experimental test results. The results show that the new design can produce a continuous and stable periodic impact. By adjusting the design parameter matching to the working condition, the bottom hole assembly with the new tool can improve the rate of penetration and reduce the wellbore friction or drilling stick-slip with benign vibration. The analysis model can also be used for a similar method or design just by changing the relative parameters. The research and results can provide references for enhancing drilling efficiency and safe production.

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.

Abstract With the advancement of LWD (Logging While Drilling) hardware and acquisition, the imaging technology becomes not only an indispensable part of the drilling tool string, but also the image resolution increases to map layers and heterogeneity features down to less than 5mm scale. This shortens the geological interpretation turn-around time from wireline logging time (hours to days after drilling) to semi-real time (drilling time or hours after drilling). At the same time, drilling motion is complex. The depth tracking is on the surface referenced to the surface block movement. The imaging sensor located downhole can be thousands of feet away from the surface. Mechanical torque and drag, wellbore friction, wellbore temperature and weight on bit can make the downhole sensor movement motion not synchronized with surface pipe depth. This will cause time- depth conversion step generate image artifacts that either stop real-time interpretation of geological features or mis-interpret features on high resolution images. In this paper, we present several LWD images featuring distortion mechanism during the drilling process using synthetic data. We investigated how heave, depth reset and downhole sensor stick/slip caused image distortions. We provide solutions based on downhole sensor pseudo velocity computation to minimize the image distortion. The best practice in using Savitsky-Golay filter are presented in the discussion sections. Finally, some high-resolution LWD images distorted with drilling-related artifacts and processed ones are shown to demonstrate the importance of image post-processing. With the proper processed images, we can minimize interpretation risks and make drilling decisions with more confidence.

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.

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.
