Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield development, in particular to an oilfield downhole perforating gun resistant to high temperature and high pressure. Background Art

[0002] Downhole perforating guns in oil fields are widely used in the completion of oil and gas wells to provide a good channel for oil and gas extraction. In the complex environment of deep wells, high temperature and high pressure, perforating operations need to withstand huge impact force and high pressure.

[0003] First, when a traditional perforating gun is perforating underground, the explosion of the perforating bullet generates an instantaneous huge pressure pulse, resulting in a huge impact force.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides a high temperature and high pressure resistant oil field downhole perforating gun, including a gun body assembly 1, a bomb rack tube assembly 2 is arranged inside the gun body assembly 1, a buffer assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the bomb rack tube assembly 2, the buffer assembly 3 includes a chassis 31, a connecting block 32 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the chassis 31, a bottom plate 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 32, a side plate 34 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 33, a top plate 39 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the side plate 34, a support block 310 is slidably connected to the inside of the top plate 39, a decompression shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting block 32, a spring 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 36, a support shaft 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 36, a sleeve 38 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the decompression shaft 35, and a mitigation assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the chassis 31. The gun body assembly 1 includes a gun body 11, the interior of the gun body 11 is arranged outside the bullet rack tube assembly 2, a gun tail 12 is fixedly connected to the interior of the lower side of the gun body 11, a gun head 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the gun body 11, and the gun body 11 is provided with a plurality of blind holes 14. The bullet rack tube assembly 2 includes a shell 21, the outer wall of the shell 21 is arranged inside the gun body 11, and a plurality of perforating bullets 22 are penetrated inside the shell 21, and the positions of the perforating bullets 22 correspond to the blind holes 14 one by one.

[0024] Specifically, when the perforating gun is needed, the perforating gun is firstly inserted vertically into the underground stratum, and then the detonating cord on the outer wall of the bomb rack tube assembly 2 is detonated, and the detonating cord ignites multiple perforating bullets 22 in sequence, and the perforating bullets 22 generate high-pressure jets, which are ejected from the blind hole 14 and punch out a deep hole in the stratum to facilitate the inflow of underground oil; at the same time, a first pressure pulse is generated inside the perforating gun, and the first pressure pulse drives the shell 21 to move in the direction of the gun head 13. When the shell 21 is moved by the first pressure pulse, it will push the chassis 31 to move, and when the chassis 31 moves, it will drive the connecting block 32 to move, and when the connecting block 32 moves, it will drive the bottom The plate 33, the side plate 34 and the top plate 39 slide. When the inside of the top plate 39 slides on the outer wall of the support block 310, the connecting block 32 pushes the outer wall of the pressure reducing shaft 35 to slide inside the sleeve 38. When the outer wall of the pressure reducing shaft 35 slides inside the sleeve 38, it pushes the spring 1 36 to be compressed. When the spring 1 36 is compressed inside the sleeve 38 under the support of the support shaft 37, it absorbs the pressure brought to the shell 21 by the first pressure pulse, thereby achieving the effect of alleviating the impact force and resisting high pressure. The high-intensity initial pressure pulse is easy to cause the formation structure around the well wall to be damaged, especially for softer and more fragile formations, which are easy to cause problems such as leakage and well collapse. By alleviating the first pressure pulse, the impact force can be reduced, the disturbance to the well wall formation can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of leakage and well collapse, and ensuring the continuity and safety of the operation.

[0025] Please refer to the attached Figure 6 The deceleration assembly 4 includes four groups of upper and lower buffer shafts 42, the bottom end of the lower buffer shaft 42 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the chassis 31, the top of the lower buffer shaft 42 is fixedly connected to a spring 2 43, the top of the spring 2 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper buffer shaft 42, and the top of the upper buffer shaft 42 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the gun head 13. The deceleration assembly 4 also includes a casing 41, the lower inner part of the casing 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower buffer shaft 42, the upper inner part of the casing 41 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the upper buffer shaft 42, and the outer wall of the spring 2 43 is slidably connected to the inside of the casing 41.

[0026] Specifically, when the second pressure pulse is generated inside the perforating gun, the chassis 31 will push the buffer shaft 42 to slide and compress the spring 2 43. The casing 41 is used to protect the spring 2 43 to prevent it from breaking due to excessive pressure. The spring 2 43 will absorb the impact force that the spring 1 36 cannot withstand, thereby achieving a double effect of alleviating the impact force. The second pressure pulse is often caused by the reflection wave or shock wave after perforating, which has a long-term impact on the downhole casing and equipment. If this pulse is large, it will aggravate the fatigue damage of the casing, especially under long-term repeated action, which may cause microcracks and metal fatigue problems. By alleviating the second pressure pulse, the repeated load of the casing can be reduced and the service life of the casing can be extended.

[0027] Please refer to the attached Figure 7 , an opening and closing assembly 5 is arranged inside the gun tail 12. The opening and closing assembly 5 comprises a motor 51, the top end of the motor 51 is fixedly connected inside the gun tail 12, a support plate 53 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the motor 51, a rotating arm 52 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate 53, a baffle 54 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the rotating arm 52, a connecting plate 55 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the baffle 54, and the lower surface of the support plate 53 is fixedly connected to the inside of the gun tail 12. The upper surface of the support block 310 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the gun head 13, and the top end of the support shaft 37 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support block 310. The inner wall of the sleeve 38 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft 37, and the outer wall of the spring 1 36 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve 38.

[0028] Specifically, when the perforating gun is not in use, the motor 51 is turned on. When the motor 51 starts to run, it drives the arm 52 to rotate. When the lower surface of the arm 52 rotates under the support of the support plate 53, it drives the baffle 54 at the other end of the arm 52 to rotate and close, so that the baffle 54 can be opened when the perforating gun is in use and closed when the perforating gun is not in use. In certain cases, closing the hole at the tail of the perforating gun can prevent well fluid, mud or other impurities from entering the perforating gun, reducing the risk of blockage and equipment damage. For example, when the perforating operation has not been completed and some additional operations are required, closing the tail hole can prevent the complex well fluid environment downhole from adversely affecting the perforator, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 The gun body 11 and the shell 21 are made of titanium alloy or carbon fiber material.

[0030] Specifically, titanium alloy has extremely high strength and performs well under high temperature and high pressure conditions. It also has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in corrosive media such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, and can resist corrosion from complex fluids underground. This can effectively extend the service life of perforating guns in harsh underground environments, reduce the risk of equipment damage and the cost of repairs and replacements during operations.

[0031] Carbon fiber materials also have extremely high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, especially for common downhole chemical corrosive substances. The high strength-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber makes the perforating gun lighter while maintaining strength, making it easier to operate and carry.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
