Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Body
Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the global oil and gas exploration industry, the core component of rotary-guided drilling and LWD technology (such as the "Xuanji" system), the hydraulic control unit body, is facing severe manufacturing challenges. This component requires the machining of three sets of precision deep holes of international level difficulty, which was previously only producible in Singapore, severely restricting the safety of the industry chain.
Core Challenges
Core Challenges1
Extreme material properties: the use of aviation-grade Inconel 718 special alloy, the surface hardness of 40-42HRC, the processing difficulty coefficient for ordinary structural steel 9-10 times;
Core Challenges 2
Complex hole system structure: in the compact space of Ф294×1367mm, it needs to be completed:
1. Tier-3 Holes: Ф36.5 (0~+0.05), Ф28.58 (0~+0.05), and eccentric 1mm Ф17 (0~+0.05)deep hole group, depth of 615mm, the requirements of straightness and coaxiality of the double guarantee, of which the bottom of the Ф28.58 holes need to be processed R2 transition arc;
2. Tier-2 Holes: Ф36.5 (0~+0.05) and Ф28.58 (0~+0.05) deep hole group, depth 591mm;
Core Challenges 3
Rigorous precision requirements: dimensional tolerance ≤ 0.05mm, coaxiality ≤ 0.05mm, hole surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8μm.
Technological breakthrough
Through independent innovation and research and development of gun drilling and deep hole discharge composite machining technology, it realizes:
1. φ26 hole diameter, 700mm deep hole machining capacity
2. The key breakthrough of depth-to-diameter ratio ≥ 20
3. Double improvement of machining efficiency and quality, the technology successfully breaks the foreign monopoly and reaches the international advanced level.
Applications
It has been successfully matched with the rotary guidance system and applied to
Domestic: Bohai Sea/South China Sea and Xinjiang, Shanxi and other land oilfields
International: Iraq, Indonesia, Uganda and other key production areas of the "Belt and Road".
