The terms used in the specification of the disclosure herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0026] The disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1, in order to achieve the above purposes, the technical solution employed by the disclosure to solve this problem is to provide a hydraulic oscillation tool with variable stage, small pressure drop and strong impact based on radio frequency identification. The hydraulic oscillation tool includes a conversion connector 1, an upper bracket 2 (also referred to as disc spring upper bracket), a disc spring housing 3, a disc spring group 4, a multi-stage piston shaft 5, an upper piston sleeve 6, a first radial sealing ring 7 (also referred to as a radical sealing ring B), a double-female-buckle piston sleeve 8 (also referred to as a piston sleeve with double female buckles), a double-male-buckle piston sleeve 9 (also referred to as a piston sleeve with double male buckles), a second radial sealing ring 10 (also referred to as radial sealing ring A), a double-female-buckle lower piston sleeve 11 (also referred to as a lower piston sleeve with double female buckles), an end piston 12, an impacting connector 13, a power shaft housing 14, a power shaft end cap 15, a high torque turbine 16, a power shaft 17, a lower connector 18, a rotating valve 19, a bearing-supporting ring 20, a turbine-fitting bearing 21, a first O-ring 22 (also referred to as O-ring A), a second O-ring 23 (also referred to as O-ring B), a third O-ring 24 (also referred to as O-ring C), and a fourth O-ring 25 (also referred to as O-ring D).

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the conversion connector 1 is connected to the multi-stage piston shaft 5 through tapered threads.

[0029] The disc spring housing 3 is connected to the upper bracket 2 and the upper piston sleeve 6 through tapered threads.

[0030] The disc spring group 4 is disposed between the disc spring housing 3 and the conversion connector 1.

[0031] The double-female-buckle piston sleeve 8 is connected to the upper piston sleeve 6 and the double-male-buckle piston sleeve 9 through tapered threads.

[0032] The double-female-buckle lower piston sleeve 11 is connected to the impacting connector 13 and the double-male-buckle piston sleeve 9 through tapered threads.

[0033] The end piston 12 is connected to the multi-stage piston shaft 5 through threads, and a first O-ring 22 is disposed between the end piston 12 and the impacting connector 13.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, a ground pressure pump pressurizes a wellbore, a drilling fluid drives the high torque turbine 16 passing through an inner cavity of the conversion connector 1 and an inner cavity of the multi-stage piston shaft 5. Under an action of the drilling fluid, the high torque turbine 16 drives the power shaft 17 to rotate, and in this situation, the rotating valve 19 connected to the power shaft 17 and an inner hole of the lower connector 18 realize relative rotary movement, thus realizing an alternation of drilling fluid flow areas. When the flow area decreases, a pressure in a cavity of the tool increases, when the flow area increases, the pressure in the cavity of the tool decreases, so that the pressure in the cavity of the tool increases and decreases alternately. When the pressure in the cavity increases, the drilling fluid acts on the end piston 12, under the action of the pressure of the drilling fluid, the multi-stage piston shaft 5 compresses the disc spring group 4 to convert the pressure of the drilling fluid into mechanical energy and then into elastic potential energy of the disc spring group 4. When the pressure in the cavity decreases, the elastic potential energy of the disc spring group 4 is released, and the elastic potential energy is converted into the mechanical energy, and the tool generates an impact.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, a soluble ball with a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag is input and pumped into the tool. When the soluble ball passes through the second radial sealing ring 10, the second radial sealing ring 10 will move axially, in this situation, a first hole O on the multi-stage piston shaft 5 corresponding the second radial sealing ring 10 is opened, and the drilling fluid enters a cavity between the multi-stage piston shaft 5 and the double-male-buckle piston sleeve 9. In this way, the hydraulic oscillation tool can work in a two-stage pressure cavity, and the pressure action area is increased and the impact force of the tool is also increased.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, another soluble ball with another RFID tag is input and pumped into the tool, a second hole O' on the multi-stage piston shaft 5 corresponding to the first radial sealing ring 7 is opened, and the drilling fluid is entered therein. In this way, the hydraulic oscillation tool can work in a three-stage pressure cavity, and the pressure area and the impact force of the tool are further increased. The stages of the multi-stage piston shaft 5 can be variable to make the pressure area of the tool be variable, and thus improve the performance of the tool in service.

[0037] In some embodiments, the number of the high torque turbines 16 is generally in a range of 1 to 3, which are disposed in the same direction. The number of torque turbines 16 and the pressure of drilling fluid determines a rotational speed of the power shaft 17, thereby affecting the tool frequency.

[0038] In some embodiments, the number of stages of the multi-stage piston shaft 5 and the number of the first and the second radial sealing rings 7 and 8 are generally in a range of 2 to 4. The more stages, the same impact force can be achieved under the smaller pressure drop of the tool, especially for long horizontal sections.

[0039] In some embodiments, the third O-ring 24 is disposed among the second radial sealing ring 10, the first radial sealing ring 7 and the multi-stage piston shaft 5.

[0040] In some embodiments, when the soluble balls with the RFID tags are put into use, a pump pressure can be controlled to change without changing the impact force, or the pump pressure can be kept unchanged to enhance the impact force.

[0041] In some embodiments, the soluble balls with the RFID tags can be dissolved in place and flowback after radio frequency signal identification.

[0042] The above description is only preferred embodiments of the disclosure, and is not intended to limit the spirit and principle of the disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. shall be included in the scope of the disclosure.
