摘要:
Systems and methods presented herein include sidewall coring tool assemblies used to return core plugs of rock from a sidewall of a wellbore as part of a data collection exercise for exploration and production of hydrocarbons. A coring bit and a coring shaft of the present disclosure allow space for cuttings to move away from the bit face when drilling into a formation. In addition, certain embodiments include a plurality of inlets disposed circumferentially on an external surface at a first axial end of the coring shaft, a plurality of internal grooves disposed on an internal surface of the coring shaft, and/or a plurality of fins disposed on the external surface to direct flow of drilling and debris away from the coring bit. In addition to providing more space for cuttings to move away from the coring bit, the torque needed to drive the bit is lessened as the surface area of the bit contacting or engaging the formation is reduced.

An apparatus for combined coring and drilling in a wellbore that includes a core drilling assembly with a coring drill head, an outer tubing for conveying forces to the drill head, an inner tubing with a lower end adapted for receiving a core sample. The apparatus further includes: a lifting device; closure elements with embedded cutting implements for cutting the core sample; and one or more controller device(s) for controlling activation and deactivation of the closure elements. The closure elements are connected to the core drilling assembly below an opening of the inner tubing such that, when in an open position the core sample can enter the inner tubing, and when in a closed position core material is cut and the cut core material is prevented from entering the inner tubing and exits to the borehole annulus via drill head openings provided in the wall of the coring drill head.

A coring device has core drilling tool, a core catcher, a rock core barrel, a drilling machine outer cylinder, a flap valve and an inner rod for pulling the rock core barrel. The core catcher is provided inside the lower end of the rock core barrel. The core drilling tool includes an outer core tube and a hollow drill bit. The upper end of the outer core tube is connected to the lower end of the drilling machine outer cylinder. The lower end of the outer core tube is connected to the drill bit. The lower end of the inner rod protrudes into the rock core barrel and is movable axially by a certain distance relative to the rock core barrel. The flap valve includes a valve seat and a sealing flap. The valve seat is coaxially mounted on the inner wall of the drilling machine outer cylinder.

A drill bit can be configured to form core segments during drilling. The drill bit can have having a central axis and a shank defining an inner bore. A crown can be coupled to the shank. The crown can define a cutting face and a core receiving slot that extends inwardly into the crown from the cutting face. The crown can define an inner operative circumference. A core break structure can be disposed within the shank. The core break structure can define a core break surface that extends inwardly toward the central axis and intersects an imaginary 3D projection of the inner circumference projected along the central axis.

The present application discloses the use of the pre-stressed steel strand in the procedure of multi-angle core drilling. Using the properties of high strength and toughness of pre-stressed steel strand material, the core internal pipe is pushed inside the drill rod without deformation and damage. The rolling wheel is designed to rapidly take out and put back the pre-stressed steel strand to finish the extracting of the core, without taking out and putting back the drill rod. Without altering the original structure of the drilling machine, the technology of 360° core drilling is realized. Problems of tedious and arduous operations and a low efficiency in multi-angle drilling are resolved completely. The use of the pre-stressed steel strand not only can significantly improve the drilling-in efficiency, but also is beneficial to guarantee the quality of the rock mineral coring, reduce the cost of drilling, lower the labor intensity notably.

A method for designing a core bit to control and reduce the cutting forces acting on a core of rock is disclosed. The method includes generating a model of a core bit including a plurality of cutting elements on a plurality of blades. The method may additionally include simulating a coring operation with the model of the core bit. The method may further include calculating at least one force vector generated by at least one of the plurality of cutting elements on the model of the core bit during the coring operation. The method may further include determining at least one force acting on a core in the model of the core bit based on the at least one force vector and generating a design of the core bit based on the at least one force acting on the core.

A method and system for directional drilling while conveying a liner, with latching parking capabilities for multiple trips, is disclosed. As the wellbore is drilled, each casing and liner is installed having upper and lower interior latch couplings. A liner to be installed below a parent casing includes an exterior latch assembly dimensioned for connection to the interior latch couplings of the parent casing. A bottom hole assembly may include upper and lower exterior inner string latch assemblies for connection to the upper and lower interior latch couplings of the liner to be installed. Such arrangement allows the liner to be conveyed and installed with the bottom hole assembly while directional drilling and for the liner to be temporarily hung from the parent casing for bottom hole assembly change-out while drilling. Float plugs dimensioned to be landed at lower liner interior latch couplings may be provided for cementing operations.
