Setting the radiation frequency of a submersible hydraulic borehole vibrator

Abstract

The article describes a system for setting and stabilizing the radiation frequency of submersible downhole vibrators. It is assumed that submersible downhole vibrators are used for vibration wave impact on the bottomhole formation zone in wells with a depth of 50 to 300 meters, in which the bottomhole part is structurally designed to be able to convert a comprehensive (pulsating) impact into an oscillating one. In this case downhole vibrators must be subject to additional requirements for the frequency range of the radiation and the accuracy of maintaining the frequency. The speed of rotation and the frequency of the rotary hydraulic vibrator, which is installed in the bottomhole, depends on the fluid flow through the vibrator. In the operation of a submersible vibrator as a hydraulic machine, it must be taken into account that the working fluid from the pump to the vibrator is supplied through a system of oil well tubing, which is a long hydraulic line. The authors of the article compiled a block diagram of the control system, taking into account the transfer functions of the flow controller, a long hydraulic line and the vibrator. The text gives valuable information on the possibility of using flow controllers to ensure setting and stabilization of the radiation frequency of the vibrator.
