Drilling volumes should be increased in order to increase hydrocarbon production, but this is impossible without the usage of high-quality drilling tools made of modern structural materials. The study has to analyze the design, technological and operational methods to increase the performance of drilling tools made of various materials and has highlighted prospects of technological method applications. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the development of a new analytical model of PDC drill bit–well interaction. The developed model takes into account the drill bit manufacturing errors in the form of bit body–nipple axes misalignment on the drill bit strength. This result makes it possible to determine the permissible manufacturing errors to provide safe operation of the drill bit. It is established that there is an additional transverse force that presses the drill bit to the well wall in the rock due to manufacturing errors. It is determined that the magnitude of this clamping force can be significant. The material effect has been analyzed on additional clamping force. It is established that geometric imperfection of the drill bit causes the minimal effect for the elastic system of the pipe string, which includes a calibrator and is composed of drill pipes based on composite carbon fiber material, and the maximal effect—for steel drill pipes. Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bit and well wall contact interaction during operation in non-standard mode is considered. Non-standard stresses are determined, and the strength of the blades is estimated for different values of drilling bit manufacturing error.

In deepwater drilling, there are two major components of drilling tools that are subjected to vibration, namely the marine riser and the drilling pipe. Analyses of vibration in the marine riser and drill pipes are two topical areas that have individually received considerable attention by researchers in the past. For the marine riser, the focus was on the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in different shear and flow regime. The focus on the drill pipes was on different vibratory modes and resonance. While these two subjects are interrelated, they have been little attempt to investigate them together as an assembly. The present paper investigated the coupling of the marine riser VIV to the drill pipe vibration when the drill bit penetrated the wellbore using coupled approach. It was found that the lateral displacement of drill pipe is most significant when the riser oscillates at lower frequency. Riser oscillation is most damaging to the drill pipe when the later also rotates at low RPM.

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.

Abstract High-speed wired drill pipe and its corresponding communication technology not only can achieve high-speed transmission rate and high-capacity, but also can realize real-time monitoring and dual-way communication in whole section, which can prevent downhole problems effectively. As a series system, the homogeneity and robustness of these wired drill pipes are crucial. This paper focuses on how to overcome the difficulty in manufacturing process of information drill pipe and complete the validation test. In order to guarantee the quality of information drill pipe and satisfy the technological requirements of mass production, we optimize the manufacturing process and put forward reasonable test techniques. The optimizations of manufacturing process include the analysis on constant tension of pressure pipe, quantitative cutting pipe and perforation in pipe nozzle. The testing techniques includes magnetic coupling coil impedance test, high pressure test, communication performance test of both single pipe and series system. The test result can be judged and evaluated by the attenuation value of the signal attenuation test and the signal reflection waveform as well as sealing reliability. With the help of the optimization of the manufacturing process and the application of new tooling, the quality and robustness of information drill pipe is improved obviously. Pass rate in primary assembly is increased from 70% to 92%. After the second assembly, pass rate can be increased to 99.5%. Besides, the work efficiency is greatly improved and the process requirements of mass production are satisfied. The validation test can screen out the drill pipe with poor quality and performance effectively thus to improve the reliability of the whole system. By means of the improvement of manufacturing and the validation test, the comprehensive pass rate of information drill pipes is increased from 84% to 95%. During three field tests in Jilin and Daqing Oilfield, the information drill pipes functioned well and accomplished all the test tasks successfully. High-speed wired drill pipe can improve the downhole data transmission on a large margin. The theorical transmission rate can be up to 100 kbps, 10,000 times as much as the traditional mud impulse telemetry. The manufacturing optimization and test technology can guarantee the performance and realize downhole data highway.

In the past decades, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has been successfully used to install various pipelines in different strata. However, construction accidents such as drill-burying and drill-sticking occur occasionally when pipelines installed by HDD method in an unstable stratum such as sand cobble stratum. Recently, HDD with dual drill pipes was used to install pipelines in unstable stratum, and the effect is significant. The law of cuttings migration for HDD with dual drill pipes is still unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to study the law of cuttings migration in reverse circulation with dual drill pipes. This study performs numerical simulations and experimental research on the cuttings-carrying process in reverse circulation directional drilling with dual drill pipes. Based on the assumption of dual concentric pipes, simulations of fluid-solid two-phase flows are conducted in different flow channels between the inner and outer drill pipes. An experimental cuttings-carrying model is then established. By combining the results of the numerical simulations and experimental investigation, the hydraulic parameters of the dual drill pipe system are optimized, and the rationalities of the drill tool design and the grading selection are validated. The results of this study provide a reference cuttings-carrying model during reverse circulation HDD with dual drill pipes.

The stick-slip is one of the critical problems for the scientific drilling, because it causes a crushing of the sampled layer. The present study investigates the characteristics of stick-slip phenomena of the drill pipe with the model experiments and numerical methods. The model experiments are carried out using a 1m length drill pipe model made with the Teflon. The angular velocity at the top and the bottom of the pipe are measured with the gyro sensor on some conditions of rotating speed at the pipe top and the weight on bit (load at the pipe bottom). The numerical simulations are also carried out to reproduce the stick-slip phenomena of the model experiments. The stick-slip is a kind of torsional vibration which is governed by the convection equation. By considering the boundary condition at the top and bottom of the pipe, we can obtain a neutral delayed differential equation (NDDE). The solutions of the NDDE is depend on not the initial value but the initial history of the solution, because NDDE contains a delayed function term. Therefore, it should be solved carefully to avoid the numerical error. The NDDE is solved with the 4th order Runge-Kutta scheme with very small time increment until the truncation error could be neglected. And also, we have found out that the effect of the initial history on the solution become to be very small after a certain period of time. The experimental results are compared with the numerical results under the same rotating condition. The experimental results of the stick-slip suggest that the period of the slip is mainly depend on the rotation speed at the pipe top and the magnitude of the slip is mainly depend on the weight on bit. Those characteristics of the stick-slip such as the period or the magnitude of slip are also obtained with the numerical calculations. However, in order to obtain an acceptable numerical results of NDDE, we have to adjust the frictional torque acting on the drill bit. Though, the frictional torque model was determined by reference to the measured torque at the top of the drill pipe model in the present study, it is desired to be improved. Therefore, the physical model of the frictional torque on the drill bit should be evaluated much carefully for the precise estimation of the stick slip in the future.

This paper attempts to explain the motion behaviour of the marine riser coupled to a drill string when the vortex induced vibration (VIV) is involved. Vibrations have been reported to have a major effect on the drilling performance, affecting the rate of penetration (ROP), causing severe damages to the drilling tools and also reduces the efficiency of the drilling process. There are two major components of drilling tools that are subjected to vibration, namely the marine riser and the drilling string. Analysis of vibration in the marine riser and drill string are two topical areas that have individually received considerable attention by researchers in the past. Though these two subjects are interrelated, borne by the fact that the marine riser encapsulates and protects the drill pipe, there have been few attempts to investigate them together as a unity. Due to the complexities of the models, simplified assumptions were made in order to undertake the investigation by using staggered approach. The results were compared with the experimental and simulation data from the open literature. It was found that the maximum displacement with negative damping occurs at low frequency and rotation speed.

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to investigate the reason of G105 coated drill-pipes suffering from washout after drilling for 70000–80000 m. Design/methodology/approach – The microstructure, micromorphology and corrosion products near the washout were analyzed by metallurgical microscopy, SEM and EDS. Findings – Results showed the metallographic microstructure of the material was typical tempered sorbite. No fatigue crack was observed. Drill-pipe washout was caused mainly by the inclusion of MnS in steel because of the excess S and by damaged coating, both of which induced pit nucleation and promoted the pitting corrosion process. The corrosion hole extended from the interior to the exterior, which resulted in the fracturing of the external drill-pipe surface under pressure. Originality/value – This paper can give practical help to the selection of drill pipe materials in the future.

In connection with a relatively high cost of drill pipes large companies loss caused by rejection achieves tens millions of rubles. And at the same time it is necessary to take into account that the tool-joint thread rejection does not mean at all unworthiness to operation a drill pipe itself as having restored an inter-lock it is possible to continue the operation of a res-tored product. In such a way, one of the priority direc-tions at major repair of drill pipes is a restoration of interlock geometrical joints. In this paper there is considered a technology for repair of a worn thread in an interlock of drill pipes and its updating at the expense of electric contact weld deposition used into an upset groove. The method of-fered allows keeping a pipe without its shortening at repair at the expense of additional metal application directly upon a thread area and decreasing a thermal impact area and also increasing operation properties of a restored pipe.

Abstract With the vigorous development of offshore oil and gas resources in the world, underwater extended reach horizontal wells have been widely used. However, due to the complicated stress and serious corrosion of drill pipes in horizontal wells, drill pipes are vulnerable to damage. After a period of service at sea, some drill tools will be placed in coastal areas for a long time. The cumulative fatigue of drilling tools is not easy to master. In the past year or two, drilling tool failure has become more and more frequent. In order to evaluate the fatigue of drilling tools in different periods and master the quantitative fatigue of drilling tools, the metal magnetic memory method has its unique advantages in detecting the stress concentration and early damage of ferromagnetic materials. The self-developed metal magnetic memory detection device is used to detect the drilling tools in the drilling tool base. The results show that the gradient peak value and ladder are used to detect the drilling tools in the drilling tool base. The average degree can be used to classify the fatigue of drilling tools, and the metal magnetic memory method is more than sensitive to various defects of drilling tools, such as penetration, internal corrosion, external corrosion, wall thickness thinning, etc.


Advance in extraction of mineral resources is one of the most prioritized problems of mining industry in Russia and other countries. Herewith, drilling and blasting operations are the most important mining stages, the relevant expenses reach up to 50% of total mining costs. Drilling tool is the most important and highly loaded element of drilling assembly determining the efficiency of blasthole drilling. Existing designs of drill bits of Russian and foreign manufacturers are nondismountable, that is, are beyond repair or reclaim, especially in field conditions. For instance, in the case of failure of one bearing support, the drill bit fails and is rejected. Despite numerous types of drilling tools, their stressed state has been studied sufficiently only for serially fabricated drill bits. Therefore, it is important to study strength properties of dismountable drilling tools which provide the maximum operation lifetime of the basic parts (body and coupling). Complete information about loads acting on the main elements of drill bits is required to improve designs of dismountable drilling tools. This work analyzes stress and strain state of dismountable drill bits with spherical cutters (RSShD) using finite element models in ANSYS software environment. Predictions are made for the cases of maximum loads exerted by highly efficient drilling rigs on the drill bit and heterogeneous distribution of these loads over elements of the drill bit. Distributions of equivalent stress fields occurring in drill bit body, bearing supports and cutters are presented. Drill bit operability in various operation modes is analyzed
