Abstract
Air drilling is considered as a practicability technology, which can improve the drilling rate and shorten the drilling period. But the technology itself has some defects, such as borehole deviation, producing of formation water, borehole wall instability and so on. These defects almost blocked the development of drilling technology. This thesis analyzed the factors of affecting borehole deviation from the respects of formation features, make up of string, borehole enlargement. And it proposed some suggestions for preventing
wellbore deviation according to borehole configuration, drilling operation, deviational survey tool, make up of string . In addition, the thesis also introduces the well straightening method when the borehole deviation emerges. Then, it analyzes the deviation control technology used by some oilfields and compares the obtained results. Finally some conclusions for controlling borehole deviation are obtained.
