Abstract

Acoustic telemetry technology while drilling may effectively solve the practical and speed bottleneck of downhole information transmission, but its channel characteristics are subject to the influence of drill string structure in the channel. According to the requirements of reservoir exploitation and drilling technology, the directional well technology is becoming more complex, and the changeable bottom hole assembly (BHA) in the well causes the aperiodicity of acoustic channel. Through the modeling and analysis of BHA under different drilling technology, the characteristics of various aperiodic channels are obtained, and compared with the characteristics of ideal periodic channels, the acoustic transmission characteristics of drill string in directional well are obtained. The aperiodicity brought by BHA makes the high frequency section of the channel seriously attenuated, so the number of aperiodic drilling tools used in the acoustic remote transmission channel needs to be strictly controlled. It can be excluded from the channel if necessary.
