Abstract
Background. Drilling vibrations may cause damage to the bit and early failure of downhole instruments. The main approach to solving this problem consists in measuring downhole vibrations while drilling by adding sensors near the bit in to the bottom hole assembly (BHA). When drilling vibrations are registered, measures are taken to avoid their reaching the critical values. If necessary the drilling stoops and the section is worked out to avoid accidents due to the high critical values. Not always drilling companies add such sensors to the BHA due to high price of the equipment. Constant problems with vibrations while drilling, require the creation of domestic low-cost autonomous equipment for measuring downhole vibrations and transmitting respective signals to the surface.
Aim. To develop domestic low-cost autonomous downhole vibration measuring equipment.
Materials and methods. Analysis of the experimental studies on drilling vibrations. Development technical solution such as domestic low-cost autonomous equipment for measuring downhole vibrations.
Results. The problem of drilling vibrations can be controlled by downhole measuring equipment located in the vicinity of the bit. The device under development is presented in the article.
Conclusion. In order to achieve maximum economic efficiency and avoid the costs of eliminating the consequences of vibrations, domestic low-cost autonomous downhole vibration measuring equipment should be developed to register torsional and longitudinal vibrations.
