Baoji Dingding titanium | Petroleum Instrument titanium alloy protective cylinder inclinometer shell underground solid barrier

In the process of well logging and directional drilling in oil and gas exploration, the protective cylinder of Petroleum Instrument and the shell of inclinometer are "shield of protective core" - they need to withstand 150MPa high pressure, 480 ℃ high temperature, H ɑ s strong corrosion and drilling tool impact in 3000m deep wells at the same time, and their protective performance directly determines the instrument life and the integrity of exploration data. Relying on the material and precision processing advantages of "China Titanium Valley", Baoji Dingding titanium focuses on the research and development of titanium alloy shells for TC4, TC11 and TC18 petroleum instruments, strictly follows API 11d1 and ISO 13680 standards, and realizes the shell wall thickness tolerance ≤± 0.02mm and compressive strength ≥ 120MPa through the "integral forging+five axis milling" process, which is perfectly suitable for core equipment such as inclinometer while drilling, azimuth gamma ray instrument and imaging logging instrument.

1、 Core performance advantage: titanium alloy cracking the pain point of underground protection

TC4, TC11 and TC18 form a complementary performance system for the three major industry pain points of "high temperature deformation, corrosion perforation and impact damage" of the shell of petroleum instruments, achieving a qualitative breakthrough over stainless steel and alloy steel shells:

TC4 (balanced protection type)

Ti-6Al-4V composition, tensile strength ≥ 960mpa, thermal deformation under 400 ℃ high temperature ≤ 0.005mm, suitable for conventional well instruments within 2000m, 45% less weight than stainless steel shell, and 60% higher impact resistance.

TC11 (high temperature stable type)

With the addition of ti-6.5al-3.5mo, the temperature resistance is up to 500 ℃, and the high temperature creep rate at 480 ℃ is ≤ 0.001%/1000h. In the ultra deep well environment, the dimensional accuracy remains it5, and the weight is reduced by 50% compared with the high temperature alloy shell.

TC18 (sulfur resistant and corrosion resistant type)

The composition of ti-4.4al-4mo-2sn is optimized, the sulfur resistance grade reaches SSC C110, there is no stress corrosion under the environment of 0.3MPa partial pressure of H ɑ s, and the 5000 hour salt spray corrosion rate is ≤ 0.00008mm/year, which is the exclusive choice for high sulfur gas fields.

Common advantages

The density is only 4.51g/cm ³, and the density of the surface oxide film is 99.9%, which can resist the formation brine and CO ɑ corrosion; The whole forging has no welds to avoid stress concentration, and the downhole damage rate is reduced from 12% to 0.8%.

2、 Precise specification system: customized adaptation scheme according to instrument type

3、 Core application scenario: full working condition coverage from land to deep sea

1. directional drilling: accurate protection of inclinometer shell

In directional drilling, the inclinometer needs to transmit the borehole trajectory data in real time, and the titanium alloy shell can realize double guarantee:

-TC4 inclinometer shell is used for shale gas horizontal wells. The roundness of φ 100mm specification is ≤ 0.005mm, which protects the accuracy of internal sensors, reduces the positioning error of wellbore trajectory from 5cm to 1cm, and improves the accuracy of reservoir hit by 90%;

-TC11 shell is suitable for Xinjiang 5000m ultra deep well inclinometer. The deformation of the shell at 480 ℃ is ≤ 0.005mm, avoiding squeezing the internal electronic components. The failure rate of the instrument is reduced from 15% to 1.2%;

-TC18 shell is used for inclinometer in Sichuan high sour gas field. It works continuously for 2000 hours without corrosion under the environment of 0.3MPa partial pressure of H ɑ s, and the success rate of data transmission has increased from 88% to 99.8%.

2. logging operation: extreme protection of instrument protection cylinder

The logging instrument needs to be stable in the complex downhole environment, and the titanium alloy protective cylinder creates a solid barrier:
