Analysis of Acoustic Propagation Characteristic of Near-Bit Drill Tools
In order to Make Use of Acoustic Wave to Transmit the Information from near- Bit End to a Remote Bit End, Using the Finite Element Method, Simulate and Analyze the Acoustic Wave Propagating Characters of Common near-bit Drill Tools: Ordinary Drill Collar, Spiral Drill Collar, Integral Straight Edge Stabilizer, Integral Spiral Stabilizer and Screw Drill. the Results Show that: because the Form and Size of Axial Cross Section Are in Basic Consistent, the Ordinary Drill Collar and Spiral Drill Collar Not only Have Better Characteristics in Time Domain, No Repeated Oscillation of Waveform Occurring, but Also Have Wider Bandwidth (up to 4KHz), and because of the Stabilizer Section, the Acoustic Impedance in the Axial Direction Discontinuities and the Time Domain Waveforms of other Three Kinds of Drilling Tools Appear that Not only Waveforms Have Shook Repeatedly, but Also the Width of the Pass Band Has Narrowed Significantly.
