Technical Field
The invention relates to a pure mechanical rotary drilling tool and a method suitable for horizontal and horizontal branch drilling, and belongs to the technical field of drilling tool development.
Background
Along with the increasing difficulty of oil and gas exploration and development, the steering drilling technology can adjust the drilling track section while drilling, thereby realizing the fine drilling monitoring and control, and having irreplaceable important roles in the exploration and development links of high-difficulty oil and gas reservoirs and complex broken-block oil and gas reservoirs. At present, the core technology of rotary guidance is still mastered abroad, only a very small part of the rotary guidance systems independently researched and developed in China pass the test and are applied to field operation, and the rotary guidance systems are basically domesticated by imitating the advanced rotary guidance systems abroad due to the fact that the core technology cannot be mastered.
The rotary guiding system mainly comprises a push-type rotary guiding system and a directional rotary guiding system, wherein the push-type rotary guiding system is used for guiding by giving a biasing force to the sleeve at a position close to the drill bit, the directional rotary guiding system is used for giving a biasing force to the mandrel at a certain position away from the drill bit so that an included angle is formed between the drill bit and the central line of the sleeve, and a mechanical structure capable of biasing the drill bit is arranged in the guiding tool, so that the drill bit drills in a preset direction.
Chinese patent document CN202011124111.5 includes an upper housing, a spindle, a lower housing, and a drill bit. The starting and stopping of the inner eccentric cylinder and the outer eccentric cylinder are respectively controlled through the jaw electromagnetic clutch, so that the drilling direction of a drill bit is changed, no extra device is needed for providing power during guiding, the damage to the well wall is small, and the good well quality can be ensured. However, because the internal control system is relatively complex, the probability of accident risk when the equipment operates downhole is increased.
Chinese patent document CN202211289084.6 discloses a fully mechanical rotary steering drilling tool, comprising a spindle, a bearing set, a lower bearing seat, a pushing piston, a piston seat, a lower torsion spring, an upper bearing seat, an upper spindle joint, a dislocation ring member, a shaft piston, an upper joint, a limiting ring, a filter ring, an upper spring, a bias block, an outer cylinder, an impeller, an upper disc valve and a lower disc valve. The drilling tool solves the problems of poor high temperature resistance, failure of the drilling tool caused by easy damage of electronic components and the like of the conventional rotary steering drilling tool, and can meet the drilling requirements of deep wells under high temperature and high pressure working conditions. But the cooperation between the disc valves is unstable, and there is a risk of failure of the downhole drilling tool when the system is in operation.
Through the analysis, the rotary guiding system developed in China at present is more biased to the integral optimization of the electromechanical control device, and the defects are mainly reflected in that the complex electromechanical device is easy to lose efficacy in the underground high-temperature and high-pressure environment, so that the production and development costs are high, and the service life of equipment is short. But each big oil field faces the difficulty of horizontal drilling of long horizontal section now, and the development of a set of rotatory direction drilling tool of low cost is with the urgent need of the long horizontal section horizontal well of each oil field of overcoming.

Example 2
In the working method of the pure mechanical rotary drilling tool suitable for horizontal and horizontal branch drilling in the embodiment 1, as shown in fig. 6, a local coordinate system is established by taking the center of the lower end of a biasing mechanism as an origin, the vertical direction is the Y-axis direction, the direction vertical to the Y-axis and the axial direction of a drill string is the X-axis direction, the longitudinal section of the biasing mechanism is a gravity stabilizing surface alpha 17, namely the plane of the Y-axis and the drill string, the plane of a single-bend screw drilling tool and a bent angle is a screw tool surface beta 18, and the lower end of the biasing mechanism is fixedly connected with a stator of the single-bend screw drilling tool so as to ensure the consistency of the screw tool surface and the gravity stabilizing surface of the biasing mechanism; when the drilling machine is in a drilling working condition, the eccentric weight mechanism shell and the eccentric weight block are kept relatively static in the radial direction, the connecting bearing 2 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the drill string 1, so that positive (anticlockwise) torque is applied to the eccentric weight mechanism shell 4, drilling fluid sequentially flows through the drill string 1, the connecting bearing 2, the eccentric weight mechanism and the single-bending screw drilling tool, a rotor of the single-bending screw drilling tool and the drill bit 8 are driven to rotate, drilling is achieved, reverse torque is applied to a stator of the single-bending screw drilling tool by breaking rock of the drill bit 8 and is conducted upwards to the eccentric weight mechanism shell 4, positive torque is applied to the eccentric weight 5 under the action of dead weight, and the positive torque applied to the eccentric weight mechanism shell, the reverse torque applied to the stator of the single-bending screw drilling tool and the positive torque applied to the eccentric weight mechanism shell under the action of dead weight are combined to keep the screw tool face beta stable.
