Dynamic Inclination Measurement At-Bit Based on MEMS Accelerometer

Geo-Steering Drilling technology is one brand oil field engineering technology, which integrates well drilling, well logging and reservoir engineering technology. The measurement of At-Bit geology parameters and At-Bit drilling parameters are the core of down hole measurement technology. The trajectory information of drilling is indicated by the angle of the well in the measurement of the drilling parameters. Traditional instruments that measures the deviation of drilling, and other drilling parameters sensor probe distance is far from the bit, although here the measurement environment compared with near bit is good. But it cannot reflect the trajectory timely that is a big problem, especially in thin reservoir of directional drilling operation. The closer distance of the measuring sensor is, the worse the influence of vibration, shock, temperature and so on, which puts forward a very high demand for the development of the At-Bit Geo-Steering Drilling tools. The dynamic inclination measurement unit at At-Bit based on MEMS acceleration is using five axis MEMS accelerometer and four compartments Geological Steering tool. The sensor is near by the bit less than one meter and it can be real-time measurement of drill attitude and trajectory information. In order to meet the dynamic situation of inclination measurement, the image measuring and compensating for dynamic filtering method are used, makes the dynamic measuring precision of hole deviation control in less than 0.5 degrees, static measuring accuracy within 0.3 degrees. This Unit meets the demand of LWD logging in high precision Geo-Steering Drilling.
