METHOD TO INVESTIGATE BEDS IN PROCESS OF OIL AND GAS WELLS DRILLING AND SAMPLER FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC E21B49/08 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: in process of sampling, values of specific electric conductivity are measured on liquid arriving into a sampling chamber. At the same time measured values of specific electric conductivity and readings of pressure and temperature sensors are recorded with a surface receiving-processing station, and to form a channel of communication with it and to provide for sampler lowering and lifting, an armoured geophysical cable is used, which is withdrawn from a drilling string via a sealing device. Besides, before opening of a potentially producing bed, the sampler at the vibration and impact safe distance from a bit is fixed on the cable in the above-packer space of the above-bit packering unit, providing for direct circulation of the mud. And after opening the sampling operation is carried out by means of multiple sampling and remote express-analysis of fluid composition in every sample according to specific electric conductivity, for this purpose the chamber by means of piston displacement is released from the first sample with fluid discharge into the above-packer space. Then it is put into the initial working condition, and similarly to the first sample taking, further sampling is carried out, until extremum of specific electric conductivity values is achieved, and on the basis of this parameter, a decision is made to lift the last sample from the well or to continue drilling process, and bed parameters are identified on the basis of pressure, temperature sensor readings, and by the value and speed of increments of specific electric conductivity.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of sampling of oil reservoirs opened with drilling, also in abnormal boreholes.
