The invention relates to a low-friction-drag variable-
diameter hydraulic thruster used for
petroleum and
natural gas drilling. According to the technical scheme, an upper connector is connected with an auxiliary cylinder through threads, the auxiliary cylinder is connected with a main cylinder through threads, the main cylinder is connected with a spline cylinder through threads, a
piston is arranged in the auxiliary cylinder, a second
piston cushion cover, a first
piston ring and a first piston
cushion cover are sequentially arranged on the piston, a first press cap and a first anti-loose cap are both connected with the piston through threads, a mandrel is arranged in the main cylinder and the spline cylinder, a semi-ring is arranged in the middle of the mandrel, a fourth piston
cushion cover, a second
piston ring and a third piston cushion cover are sequentially arranged on the head of the mandrel, a second pressing cap and a second anti-loose cap are connected with the mandrel through threads, a
nozzle base is located between the piston and the mandrel, a
nozzle is arranged in the
nozzle base, four
steel ball bases are evenly distributed between the mandrel and the spline cylinder, and steel balls are arranged in the
steel ball bases. According to low-friction-drag variable-
diameter hydraulic thruster, drilling pressure which is high enough, stable and uniform can be obtained by a
drill bit in the true sense, the bridge over phenomenon can be prevented, and the low-friction-drag variable-
diameter hydraulic thruster is used for drilling.
