Abstract

A system of near-bit measurement while drilling system includes motor system, measurement transmission system, wireless receiving system and non-magnetic short sub. The measurement transmission system is set inside the motor system, and the transmitting device from the measurement transmission system and the receiving device from the wireless receiving system are set inside the non-magnetic cavity. In the process of drilling via drill bit, the azimuth gamma and the well deviation parameters on the formation where the drill bit is located is able to be measured in real time more accurately and then will make real-time wireless transmission toward the wireless receiving system. Compared with conventional measurement while drilling work, the measurement location of the near-bit measurement while drilling system is nearer to the drill bit with non-hysteretic description of well trajectory and formation gamma measurement so as to enhance the drilling-encounter ratio significantly.
