Abstract
In the process of drilling, the down hole assembly, especially bit and bottom hole assembly, will be brought about fatigue failure duo to the effect of vibration and shock. Therefore, the monitoring on bottom hole assembly can be realized through vibration and shock parameter monitoring while drilling. Through the increase of triaxial stress sensor and torque sensor in MWD instruments, the axial vibration, radial swing and drill tool torque change of down hole drilling tools are detected, and using the pulse signal of MWD apparatus, these information are timely fed backed to the surface. This article introduces the principal and work mode of vibration and shock parameter monitoring while drilling, sums up the operation practices of two wells in cooperation with western companies and describes the technique in detail. Practical application shows that this technique can be used to judge the complication of down hole and to adjust the drilling parameters according to real-time monitoring data, effectively avoiding the fatigue failure and fishing.
