Fatigue detection and analysis of drilling tools based on metal magnetic memory method

Abstract

With the vigorous development of offshore oil and gas resources in the world, underwater extended reach horizontal wells have been widely used. However, due to the complicated stress and serious corrosion of drill pipes in horizontal wells, drill pipes are vulnerable to damage. After a period of service at sea, some drill tools will be placed in coastal areas for a long time. The cumulative fatigue of drilling tools is not easy to master. In the past year or two, drilling tool failure has become more and more frequent. In order to evaluate the fatigue of drilling tools in different periods and master the quantitative fatigue of drilling tools, the metal magnetic memory method has its unique advantages in detecting the stress concentration and early damage of ferromagnetic materials. The self-developed metal magnetic memory detection device is used to detect the drilling tools in the drilling tool base. The results show that the gradient peak value and ladder are used to detect the drilling tools in the drilling tool base. The average degree can be used to classify the fatigue of drilling tools, and the metal magnetic memory method is more than sensitive to various defects of drilling tools, such as penetration, internal corrosion, external corrosion, wall thickness thinning, etc.
