The invention relates to a torsional impact drilling tool used for applying low amplitude high frequency torsional impact to a drill bit during a drilling process, which can increase the drilling efficiency and the service life of the drill bit and lesson the tripping operation and the drilling cost. The technical scheme of the torsional impact drilling tool is as follows: a housing is connected with a short section of a drilling column led into the drill bit by a spline, and is positioned by a shaft shoulder; a screw motor rotor and a screw motor stator form a screw motor, the screw motor rotor is eccentrically connected to a transmission shaft by a universal shaft and two bearings, and four diversion holes are arranged on the transmission shaft; the lower end of the transmission shaft is connected with a carrier with a cavity; a sliding impactor is arranged in the cavity and is fixed by pins, and an impact hammer is arranged in the sliding impactor; a falling prevention ring is connected with the housing by screw threads; and the damping shaft shoulder on the short section of the drilling column led into the drill bit is matched with the impact hammer of the sliding impactor to form a ratchet wheel structure. The torsional impact drilling tool has simple structure, and can be used in hard strata of a deep well; and as being short, the tool is also applicable to the deflecting operation and can be used in crooked well holes, thereby reducing the phenomenon of stick-slip of the drill bit and improving the rate of penetration.

A method and apparatus for determining the fluid permeability of an earth formation is described. An instrument comprising an acoustic source and acoustic and electrokinetic sensors is located in a borehole at a site of interest. The acoustic source is fired and the resulting variations in pressure and electric field generated are measured and recorded. The Biot equation, and an equation for the streaming potential coupled to fluid displacement terms, is solved using finite element analysis to give an expected pressure waveform and electrokinetic waveform based on estimated earth formation properties. By comparison of the measured waveforms and those calculated from the equations, the actual permeability of the earth formation can be deduced.

By removing material of low permeability from within and around a perforation tunnel and creating at least one fracture at the tip of a perforation tunnel, injection parameters and effects such as outflow rate and, in the case of multiple perforation tunnels benefiting from such cleanup, distribution of injected fluids along a wellbore are enhanced. Following detonation of a charge carrier, a second explosive event is triggered within a freshly made tunnel, thereby substantially eliminating a crushed zone and improving the geometry and quality (and length) of the tunnel. In addition, this action creates substantially debris-free tunnels and relieves the residual stress cage, resulting in perforation tunnels that are highly conducive to injection under fracturing conditions for disposal and stimulation purposes, and that promote even coverage of injected fluids across the perforated interval.

Determination of hydraulic properties such as porosity and permeability of soil is of paramount importance in hydrology and civil engineering. In order to achieve greater accuracy in determination of permeability of soil using falling head permeameter, the two important known constraints of human monitoring error in noting the falling water level between two selected levels and elapse time between these two levels had overcome through electronically sensing the levels between two selected points and activating the timer clock automatically by the pulses coming from senor. The precision in measurement of time lapse in 1/100^th a second enables greater accuracy in estimation of permeability. Provision of perforated Teflon disc above and below the soil core facilitates in application of water uniformly over the entire surface area of soil core at top and similar way permeated water leaving the soil core uniformly without any obstruction. The use of carbon steel seamless tube while collecting soil core facilitated in undisturbed soil core recovery from desired depth section. The permeability test was conducted for various sorted sands of different size ranges and each sample was subjected to repetitive tests and elapsed time for each test was recorded from timer unit. Coefficient of Permeability was calculated for each test. The lab experiment conducted for sorted and unsorted sediments has yielded a consistent performance of Electronic level sensor and timer based falling head soil permeameter.

A method of identifying one or more rock properties and/or one or more abnormalities occurring within a subterranean formation. The method includes obtaining a plurality of drilling parameters, which include at least the rate of penetration, the weight on bit, and the bit revolutions per minute, and then normalizing these plurality of drilling parameters by calculating a depth of cut and an intrinsic drilling impedance. Typically, the intrinsic drilling impedance is specific to the type of bit used to drill the wellbore and includes using a plurality of drill bit constants. From this intrinsic drilling impedance, the porosity and/or the rock strength may be determined which is then compared to the actual values to identify the specific type of the one or more abnormalities occurring. Additionally, the intrinsic drilling impedance may be compared to other logging parameters to also identify the specific type of the one or more abnormalities occurring.
