Influence of shock-vibration loads of drilling equipment on the drilling indicators of oil and gas wells

Abstract

Abstract When drilling oil and gas wells, downhole and drilling wellhead equipment is subject to the influence of significant vibration processes of different directions with different amplitude-frequency characteristics. The paper describes the main sources of vibration of drilling equipment, which have a downhole origin. In this paper an amplitude-frequency characteristic of oscillatory processes of a drill string and their influence on drilling performance are given. In addition to the sources of fluctuations of the bottomhole nature of origin, sources of the wellhead nature can also be distinguished. Thus drilling mud pump is a generator of pulsations and beats of the pressure of drilling fluid, which in turn leads to the increase in the dynamics of the drilling tool, the appearance of torsional vibrations of downhole motors and bits. We established the negative influence of vibrations of the bottomhole assembly and drilling mud on the stability of the operation of hydraulic downhole motors, penetration on the bit, durability of the elements of the string and energy indicators of drilling. The proposed device allows reducing the amplitude of pressure fluctuations of the drilling fluid and drilling tool.
