Purpose. Investigation of various heat-exchange conditions influence of the tower liquid on the deep wells thermal conditions.Methods. Methods of heat-exchange processes mathematical modeling are used. On the basis of the developed scheme for calculation, the thermal condition in a vertical well with a concentric arrangement of the drill-string was investigated. It was assumed that the walls of the well are properly insulated, and there is no flow or loss of fluid. The temperature distribution in the Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (clay mud) liquid along the borehole was simulated taking into account changes in the temperature regime of rocks with depth. To verify the calculation method and determine the reliability of the results, a comparative analysis of the calculated and experimental data to determine the temperature of the drilling liquid in the well was performed. Findings.A mathematical model for the study of temperature fields along the well depth was proposed and verified. A steady-state temperature distribution along the borehole is obtained for various types (Newtonian or non-Newtonian) tower liquid, with a linear law of change in rocks temperature with depth. It has been established that the temperature of the liquid flow at the face of hole and at the exit to the surface depends on the type of liquid used and the flow regime. It has been established that due to thermal insulation of drill pipe columns, heat-exchange between the downward and upward flow is reduced, which leads to a decrease in the temperature of the downward flow at the face of hole, providing a more favorable temperature at the face, which contributes to better destruction of the rock and cooling the tool during drilling.Originality. The nature of temperature distribution and changes along the borehole under the steady-state mode of heat-exchange in a turbulent and structural flow regime for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian circulating liquid are revealed. Practical implications.The proposed mathematical model and obtained results can be used to conduct estimates of the thermal conditions of wells and the development of recommendations for controlling the intensity of heatexchange processes in the well, in accordance with the requirements of a specific technology.

ВплиВ Витрати промиВальної рідини на контактну температуру при бурінні сВердлоВинPurpose. To establish the influence of drilling fluid circulation rate onto the contact temperature during the rotation drilling using an impregnated diamond drill bit; to verify the mathematical model of the diamond drill bit heating process in the course of boreholes drilling.Methodology. Bench experiments and theoretical analysis using methods of mathematical modeling. Findings. In the course of the bench experiments the data of influence of the drilling fluid circulation rate on the contact temperature during drilling of granite rock with a 59-mm diameter drill bit were obtained. A relevant mathematical model of the drill bit heating under the variable rate of drilling fluid was represented on the basis of a system of the heat transfer differential equations. A comparative analysis of experimental and predicted data was carried out, and its findings positively confirm the reliability of the mathematical modeling of heat transfer processes in the downhole during bore-hole drilling.Originality. The methodology of experimental measuring of the contact temperature during the bench experiment borehole drilling using resistance sensors was proposed herein. New experimental data was obtained which allowed establishing a correlation between the contact temperature and the rate of drilling fluid in the downhole area. The proposed mathematical model of the process is found to be adequate; it allows predicting the temperature mode on the working face of borehole in the course of drilling. The findings of the research make it possible to substantiate the effect of the diamond core drilling performance gaining due to transition from the fixed time operation parameters to the variable ones.Practical value. The regularities of action of the drilling fluid circulation rate on the contact temperature of the "tool -working face" system in the course of borehole drilling were established. The performed research confirmed the possibility of managing the thermal mode of drilling by variation of the drilling fluid circulation rate. The diamond core drilling performance gains, therefore, are possible to achieve by way of increasing the thermal stimulation of the mining rock. The developed mathematical model allows forecasting the contact temperature in the course of borehole drilling for various values of the drilling fluid circulation rates. Using of this model makes it possible to define the permissible diminishing of the drilling fluid circulation rate in order to prevent any abnormal thermophysical wear of the drill bit.Keywords

Loss of drilling fluid in wells is one of the most important drilling challenges. To prevent this problem an insulation of borehole wall is requiring. The results of study of an innovative technology of isolation of borehole using a new thermomechanical plugging material are presented herein. The material considered is solid composite consisting secondary polyethylene terephthalate and gravel. Theoretically and experimentally shown the possibility to use this material to borehole isolation. The technology of manufacturing and isolation of absorbing horizons by thermomechanical material has been developed. Dependence of the regime parameters of thethermomechanical process melting of material on the thermophysical properties and technical characteristics was established. Dependence of the penetrating ability of material melt on the fractures was established. The results of work can be used to recommend technology parameters providing the efficient melting rate.

The article presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies, the purpose of which was to substantiate the technology of drilling wells isolation using new thermoplastic composite material. The basis of the proposed material is gravel, and secondary polyethylene terephthalate acts as a binding material. The use of the proposed insulation material avoids a number of disadvantages specific for traditional grouting mortars. The technology of material application provides its melting in a well by thermomechanical drilling. The article deals with the issues, related to the substantiation of the optimal formulation of a thermoplastic composite material based on secondary polyethylene terephthalate, and the determination of rational operating parameters of thermomechanical drilling, which allow to melt effectively the material at the bottom of a well. The possibility of material application for the insulation of absorbing horizons in borehole conditions has been proved. Based on the analysis of the heat balance at the bottom of a well, the calculation procedure has been proposed and the dependences of the velocity and time of thermomechanical melting of the grouting thermoplastic composite material on the operating parameters of drilling, thermal properties and geometric characteristics of the drill bit, have been determined.

A method has been developed for the combined de-orbiting of large-size objects of space debris from low-Earth orbits using an electro-rocket propulsion system as an active de-orbiting means. A principal de-orbiting technique has been devised, which takes into consideration the patterns of using an electric rocket propulsion system in comparison with the sustainer rocket propulsion system. A procedure for determining the parameters of the de-orbiting scheme has been worked out, such as the minimum total speed and the time of the start of the de-orbiting process, which ensures its achievement. The proposed procedure takes into consideration the impact exerted on the process of the de-orbiting by the ballistic factor of the object, the height of the initial orbit, and the phase of solar activity at the time of the de-orbiting onset. The actual time constraints on battery discharge have been accounted for, as well as on battery charge duration, and active operation of the control system. The process of de-orbiting a large-size object of space debris has been simulated by using the combined method involving an electro-rocket propulsion system. The impact of the initial orbital altitude, ballistic coefficient, and the phase of solar activity on the energy costs of the de-orbiting process have been investigated. The dependences have been determined of the optimal values of a solar activity phase, in terms of energy costs, at the moment of the de-orbiting onset, and the total velocity, required to ensure the de-orbiting, on the altitude of the initial orbit and ballistic factor. These dependences are of practical interest in the tasks of designing the means of the combined de-orbiting involving an electric rocket propulsion system. The dependences of particular derivatives from the increment of a velocity pulse to the gain in the ballistic factor on the altitude of the initial orbit have been established. The use of these derivatives is also of practical interest to assess the effect of unfolding an aerodynamic sailing unit
