In this paper, a novel method of dual-channel drillpipe for drilling ultra-deep formation was proposed, and a transient heat transfer model considering different heat transfer mechanisms and technological characteristics of dual-channel drillpipe drilling was established. The validity of the model was indirectly verified by real case temperature measurements. Numerical simulation results showed that the dual-channel drillpipe drilling could effectively reduce bottom hole pressure, achieve stability in shorter time, and slow down the temperature changes of drilling fluid. Furthermore, the heat transfer from formation to wellbore was reduced compared to conventional drilling methods. Therefore, dual-channel drillpipe drilling has potential for drilling in ultra-deep formation at ultra-high temperature.
The ultra-high temperature characteristics of ultra-deep formation pose a serious threat to the safety and efficiency of drilling. In this paper, we proposed a novel method of dual-channel drillpipe for drilling ultra-deep formation. A transient heat transfer model of dual-channel drillpipe drilling was established considering the different heat transfer mechanisms of different regions, combined with technological characteristics of dualchannel drillpipe drilling as well as the variable mass flow of fluid at the dual-channel valve. The validity of the model has been indirectly verified by the measured temperatures of a real case. Numerical simulation results showed that, compared with conventional drilling method, the dual-channel drillpipe drilling could reduce the bottom hole pressure to lower extent and reached a stable state in shorter time. Meanwhile, the insulation effect of the auxiliary fluid could slow down the reduction in the temperature of injected drilling fluid and the increase in the temperature of the returned fluid above the dual-channel valve. Furthermore, the formation transferred less heat to the wellbore than conventional drilling. Therefore, dual-channel drillpipe drilling has the potential to become an effective method for drilling in ultra-deep formation at ultra-high temperature.
