Abstract

The invention relates to an active magnetic field calibration method for a measurement while drilling (MWD) directional probe. According to the method, an MWD directional probe active magnetic field calibration instrument is used for calibration, and a high-accuracy fluxgate sensor and an MWD directional probe are arranged on a three-axis non-magnetic calibration rotation table; a computer controls a current module to produce current with certain power, a three-axis square Helmholtz coil is driven to produce a uniform magnetic field in a certain range in a central area to offset an earth magnetic field, and a non-magnetic space is formed in a certain range; the fluxgate sensor and the MWD directional probe detect signals, a data acquisition module acquires the signals, and the signals are transmitted to the computer; and calibration software on the computer are used for calculation and comparison to calibrate whether the current MWD directional probe has the qualification that the MWD can descend into the well to work normally. The method has the advantages of quickness, accuracy and stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of an active magnetic field calibration method for a MWD (measurement while drilling) directional probe used for oil drilling. Background technique [0002] In the oil drilling industry, with the increasing number of cluster wells, circumvention wells, multi-branch horizontal wells, and connected wells, the requirements for the magnetic azimuth measurement accuracy of oil drilling directional probes are getting higher and higher. Measurement accuracy directly affects the accuracy of borehole trajectory. Therefore, how to calibrate the measurement accuracy of the probe before construction to ensure the normal use of the measuring instrument has become an urgent problem to be solved. The current solution to this problem is to establish a non-magnetic calibration workshop to achieve it. However, the requirements for achieving a completely non-magnetic environment are very stringent, it is difficult to shield external e...
