摘要
The development of new drilling methods is important for the exploration and production of oil fields.The pulsed jet is a drilling technology of high potentiality.This article proposes a new concept of suck-in pulsed jet with self-excited oscillation,by which a full use of the hydraulic power can be made in the annular space.A hydrodynamic analysis of suck-in pulsed jet with self-excited oscillation is carried out by numerical simulations and rock-breaking experiments.It is shown that with the jet,a negative pressure zone will be formed in the oscillation cavity to ensure automatic sucking of enough annular fluids and the formation of an efficient pulsed jet.The rock-breaking and pressure testing results have verified the reliability of the numerical simulation.The research provides a basis for the development of the pulsed jet drilling technology.
