Directional MWD (measurement while drilling) underground probe for petroleum drilling
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of petroleum drilling, and particularly relates to a directional MWD (measurement while drilling) downhole probe for petroleum drilling.
Background
Currently, the main technology in horizontal well drilling is MWD (i.e., inclination measurement while drilling), and the measurement while drilling system is composed of a downhole sensor assembly, a data transmission or downhole recording device and ground detection processing equipment. All while-drilling systems use sensors in close proximity to the top of the bit to measure drilling and formation parameters, with the data measured during drilling being transmitted in real time to the surface. MWD is generally capable of measuring well deviation, orientation, and tool face orientation.
However, when some conventional directional MWD downhole probes are used, the position of a measurement sensor in the probe needs to be adjusted to different degrees and under different environmental conditions, sometimes the measurement sensor needs to extend out of the probe, the probe mostly moves along with a drill bit, the extending length of the sensor cannot be accurately controlled, and the extending sensor is easily damaged.
