Method for information transmission via electromagnetic communication channel at operation of well, and device for its implementation Method for information transmission via electromagnetic communication channel at operation of well, and device for its implementation / 2494250
Method consists in excitation of an electric current in a metal string in a well by means of a ground-based generator connected with one contact to surface part of the metal string and with the other contact to a receiving electrode on the well surface.

The proposal relates to the field of Geophysics and is intended for measurement of geophysical and technological parameters during drilling with electromagnetic communication channel.

Information from the slaughter of the technological parameters such as bit revolutions, axial weight on the bit, vibration, geophysical information about drilled rock, is directly measured by a sensor located in the bit module that is installed near bits, and is transmitted to the main hole telemetry system (ZTS) electromagnetic communication channel (Development of bottom-hole telemetry system with electromagnetic communication channel. / Wpepro, Avellino, UAE, Fascintating, Rashidaddin, Snimano. // NTV «Karotaznik», №113, 2003, Tver, p.36).

Bit module (BAT) made in the form of the sub length from 0.5 to 0.7 m from high-strength alloy, through the wash Central hole of which flows the drilling mud. In grooves machined body as BAT are measuring sensors, electronics, and on the surface of the body - the Central electrode and insulators.

A device for measuring geophysical and technological parameters during drilling with electromagnetic communication channel (Pat. The Russian Federation for useful model # 27839, etc. 30.05.2002, 2009).

Known device contains ZTS, including a drill string, case, power supply, measurement modules, the module is receiving-transmitting device, electric separator, made in the form of separate sub installed directly over the downhole motor, and also mounted directly above the bit BAT, connected with the shaft downhole engine and with a chisel.

The disadvantage of this device is in their designs.

Central electrically insulated electrode is placed on the body as BAT, between the two insulators and is fixed relative to body from turning in the drilling process. In the process of work NDM mechanical, vibratory loads in the joints between the insulator and the electrode form backlashes and over time increase them, destroying insulators and shifts the electrode as grooves in the hull, violating their tightness. All the measuring circuit, located in the recesses of the body exposed to aggressive downhole environment and fail, which requires full disassembly and Assembly BAT.

A device for measuring geophysical and technological parameters during drilling with electromagnetic communication channel, in which the task of enhancing the reliability of a construction and increase of a resource of work is partially solved by allocating Central electrode beyond the sealed part of the shell and separated from this part of the sealing elements (Pat. The Russian Federation №2351759, prior. 07.09.2007,, publ. 10.04.2009, 2009).

Known module contains a body with Central flushing hole that is electrically isolated from the case of the Central electrode is located between insulators, and in the hollows of the housing are electrical circuits, sensors, power supply and transmitting device. The Central electrode on the housing made of hermetic part of the grooves, separated from this part of the sealing elements and equipped with point electrocontact, and electric circuits, sensors, power supply and transmitting device are in a sealed part of the module that is separate from the hit of the well fluid with sealing elements and secured against displacement relative to the housing.

Known design allows to prolong service life of electric boards, as they are in a sealed part of the body, but the problem of preservation of insulators remains, moreover, in this layout increases the length of the module, and manageability reduced orienting the BHA.

The most similar to the claimed design NDM is a device for measuring geophysical and technological parameters during drilling with electromagnetic communication channel (Pat. The Russian Federation for useful model # 27839, etc. 30.05.2002, 2009).

Included in the known device NDM contains a body with Central flushing hole that hosts the Central electrode, located between the insulator and is electrically isolated from the case, and in the hollows of the body as BAT are electrical circuits, sensors, power supply and transmitting device, and the module is transmitting device ZTS entered receiving and processing device that receives signals from the BAT.

The Central electrode NDM isolated from the casing coating of insulating material, electric circuits, sensors and power supply are in a sealed part of the BAT, isolated from the hit of the well fluid with sealing elements.

The drawback, as mentioned above, the low reliability of fixation of the Central electrode.

The task of the claimed invention is to increase the operational reliability of fixation of the Central electrode and simplification of design.

This task is solved by the fact that the claimed BAT, with a frame containing a Central washing hole that is electrically isolated from the case of the Central electrode is located between the centres, and also placed in the cavity of the body, in the sealed parts, separate sealing elements, electrical Board electrical circuits, sensors, power supply and transmitting device, etc., fixation of the prison, located in the socket housing parts are made in the form of conjugated bumps and grooves made in this prison, clutch parts casing and liner Central electrode and the other insulator Central electrode, located away from the socket portion of the chassis, installed on the thread with the left direction.

Figure 1 is given to the design of the above-bit module.

On the body 1 there is Central electrode (liner) 2 with insulation cover 3, placed between two insulators 4 and 5. Isolator 4, located in the coupling parts 6 enclosure 1 noted between coupling part 6 case 1 and case 2 through mating tabs on 7 and 8 slots. Isolator 5, located away from the socket, paragraph 6, building 1, installed on the thread 9 from left direction. In hermetic part of the body 1 is located on the electronic Board 10 isolated sealing elements 11. «A» - the direction bit with BAT.

The signal is transmitted from BAT to ZTS made with a wireless communication channel, which provides for the presence of an electric dipole. The electric dipole is formed by the buildings 1 and Central electrode (liner) 2 with insulation cover 3, applied to the housing 1 and insulators 4 and 5. When assembling NDM ledges 7 and 8 slots are engaged with each other and form a single stationary system. Isolator 5 are completed with internal thread 9, meshing with the response body threads 1. Isolator 5 and case 2 touch on smooth surfaces. Given the fact that in the process of drilling rotation BAT is right clockwise «And»the direction of the thread made 9 left, so isolator 5 in rotation tends to feel cozy during and force constantly running out of the socket 2, thereby preventing the occurrence of gaps between mating parts (insulator 4, the case 1, case 2 and insulator 5). As a result, the wear rate of insulators decreases and increases uptime BAT without replacement.

Bit module, containing a body flush with the Central hole that is electrically isolated from Department of the Central electrode is located between the centres, and also placed in the cavity of the body, in the sealed parts, separate sealing elements, electrical Board, wherein the fixation of the prison, located in the socket housing parts are made in the form of mating tabs and slots, manufactured in this facility, the coupling of the case and the case of the Central electrode, and other insulator Central electrode, located away from the socket portion of the chassis, installed on the thread with the left direction.
