Optimal design and nonlinear dynamic characteristics of titanium /steel drill pipe composite drill string for ultra-deep drilling

Titanium drill pipe have promising application prospects in ultra-deep drilling, but the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of composite drill strings are very complex. It is very important to use titanium drill pipe safely, economically, and effectively in the drilling process. In this paper, different schemes of the titanium/steel drill pipe composite drill string was designed, and the statics and dynamics characteristics of these composite drill strings were analyzed. The design scheme of titanium/steel composite drill strings were optimized by using whirling characteristics, dynamic stress and vibration acceleration. The results show that the titanium drill pipe can effectively improve the tensile allowance of the wellhead and reduce the whirling velocity, dynamic stress and vibration acceleration of the drill string. By comparing and analyzing the dynamic characteristics of 3 kinds of composite drill strings, the use of titanium drill pipe for the lower 2000 m of the 4′′ drill pipe have the smaller dynamic stress and lateral vibration, and less collision with the wellbore. Based on the analysis of vibration and dynamic characteristics, an optimal scheme of drilling operation parameters for the titanium/steel composite drill string was formed finally, which can provide guidance for the use of the drill string composed of titanium/steel drill pipe in natural gas drilling of ultra-deep well.
