Problems solved by technology

The deflection force of this type of tool elbow is generally driven by hydraulic pressure, but the post-operation string is often not or not allowed to be pressed, such as perforating and fracturing operations, if the pressure is pressed when the string is lowered, the packer may be halfway Setting or perforating gun bursting midway
The end of some operating strings is unblocked and cannot hold up pressure, so the adaptability is poor

Embodiment 1

[0026] The method discloses a method for reentrying a post-operation pipe string in a multi-branch well, and the steps are as follows:

[0027] (1) During or after drilling and completion, a main branch 2 is provided at the bottom of the main wellbore 1, and at least two side branches are sidetracked by opening a window in the main wellbore 1, and a delivery pipe is used in the main wellbore 1 At least two guide sleeves are lowered into the column. The size of each guide sleeve is the same. The two guide sleeves are respectively anchored above the window of the side branch. There is a guide groove in each guide sleeve. The included angle between the groove and the projection of the side branch on the horizontal plane is defined as the borehole guiding angle, which is preset;

[0028] (2) Pipe string re-entry of main branch 2: the post-operation pipe string 7, centralizer 8 and guide head 9 are connected in sequence to form the main branch re-entry pipe string. The center of t...

Embodiment 2

[0031] Refer to the attached Figure 1-3 , the present invention discloses a method for re-entrying a multi-branched post-operation pipe string, the steps of which are as follows: (1) For a branched well with three branches, during or after drilling and completion, in the main wellbore 11 Run the guide sleeve 1 5 and the guide sleeve 2 6 with the delivery pipe string, and anchor them above the windows of the side branch 1 3 and the side branch 2 4 respectively;

[0032] (2) String reentry of the main branch 2: the reentry string of the main branch is lowered, and the pointed straight guide head 9 goes down along the center of the main wellbore 1 under the support of the centralizer 8 to guide the later operation string 7 Enter the wellbore of the main branch 2;

[0033] (3) Pipe string reentry of side branch one 3: run down side branch one reentry pipe string, when the guide key 13 of the guide joint 11 passes through the guide groove of the guide sleeve, the elbow of the gui...

Embodiment 3

[0036]If there are more branches, the corresponding guide sleeve is also anchored above the branch window. The wellbore leading angle and the pipe string leading angle of the side branch are uniformly distributed within 360 degrees. For example, in a 4-branch well, the wellbore leading angle and the pipe string leading angle of the side branch 1 are 0 degrees, and the wellbore of the side branch 2 4 The steering angle and pipe string steering angle are 120 degrees, and the borehole steering angle and pipe string steering angle of side branch 3 are 240 degrees, which can realize the selective entry of the later operation string 7 of the 4-branch well.

Abstract

The invention discloses a reentry method of a later-operation pipe column of a multi-branch well, comprising the following steps of: (1) respectively anchoring two guide sleeves above a window of a side branch during or after well drilling and completion, and defining an included angle between projections of a guide groove and the side branch on a horizontal plane as a well bore guide angle, wherein the well bore guide angle is preset; (2) reentering a pipe column of a main branch, wherein a guide head downwards moves along the center of a main well bore all the time under the centering of a centering guide to guide the later-operation pipe column into the well bore of the main branch; and (3) reentering a pipe column of the side branch, i.e. starting to reenter the pipe column of the side branch under the match of a guide key and the guide groove, wherein when the preset well bore guide angle of the side branch, which has degrees the same as that of a pipe column guide angle, is met,a bend of a bent guide shoe just faces to the window of the side branch. The invention realizes the selective later-operation pipe column reentry of more than three multi-branch well bores and enhances the pipe column reentry efficiency and reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipe string reentry in branch wells in oil and gas fields, in particular to a selective entry method for post-operation pipe strings in multi-branch wells. Background technique [0002] At home and abroad, most of the selective entry technologies for post-operation pipe strings in lateral wells are associated with the completion system. For example, the expansion pipe completion system is to guide the post-stage pipe string through re-running the deflector and cooperating with the guide surface of the expansion pipe. selective entry. In the perforated casing or liner re-perforated well completion system, the guider is lowered into the upper extension tube of the lower branch liner, and the guider seals the upper branch window, and the pipe string enters the lower branch wellbore, and the lower branch is blocked. The branch channel enters the upper branch wellbore. [0003] For example, the publication n...
