摘要:In present, the drilling industry have to face the reality of low oil and gas prices, fully mechanical vertical drilling tool is likely to become the best choice for vertical drilling in the future. Without electric measurement and control system, the mechanical vertical drilling tool has a mechanically stable platform with gravity sensitivity. The stable platform included an eccentric block which is not only sensitive to gravity but also severely affected by torsional vibration. In this article, we reveal the dynamics of eccentric block under the effect of torsional vibration, which is the key element of the well deviation control accuracy in mechanical vertical drilling tool. The dynamic model of eccentric block is established using Lagrangian equation and Coulomb friction, and the law of dynamic characteristics under the effect of different amplitudes and period of torsional vibration is found. The results show that, with the deviation angle and eccentric torsion moment of eccentric block is increased, the resistance to torsional vibration increases. While the frequency of torsional vibration decreases, a subordinate period gradually appears after the rotation speed value of ω is less than 1 rad/s, the torsional vibration with large amplitude and high frequency is detrimental to the stability of the eccentric block. In addition, the largest Lyapunov exponent is estimated using the time series of simulation, the dynamics of eccentric block under the effect of torsional vibration can be switched four types, and the maximum and minimum values of largest Lyapunov exponent are 3.99 × 10−2 and −2.98 × 10−2, which means with the state of torsional vibration changes and the response of eccentric block would be transformed to chaos.
