Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of horizontal well fracturing tools, and in particular to a horizontal well hydraulic jet staged fracturing tool. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is an important technical measure for increasing the production of oil and gas wells and water injection wells. It is not only widely used in low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs, but has also achieved excellent results in the production and transformation of medium- and high-permeability oil and gas reservoirs. It uses a surface high-pressure pump group to inject a highly viscous liquid into the well at a rate that greatly exceeds the absorption capacity of the formation. The high pressure is built up at the bottom of the well. When this pressure exceeds the ground stress near the well wall and the tensile strength of the formation rock, cracks are generated in the formation near the bottom of the well. The sand-carrying fluid with proppant is further injected, and the cracks extend forward and are filled with proppant. After the well is shut in, the cracks close on the proppant, thereby forming sand-filled cracks with certain geometric dimensions and conductivity in the formation near the bottom of the well, which can achieve the purpose of increasing the production of the well. Therefore, providing practical horizontal well hydraulic jet staged fracturing tools has become a research focus for those skilled in the art.

[0003] Chinese patent application document CN111206910A discloses a horizontal well hydraulic jet segmented fracturing tool, which includes a completion string and an oil pipe. The outside of the oil pipe is fixedly installed with evenly distributed sandblasters, and the outside of the oil pipe is fixedly installed with packers located on the left and right sides of the sandblasters. The outside of the oil pipe is fixedly sleeved with a flexible fixing ring, and the outside of the flexible fixing ring is fixedly sleeved with a straightening casing. The horizontal well hydraulic jet segmented fracturing tool is fixedly installed with a straightening casing on the outside of the oil pipe, and evenly distributed pulleys are movably installed on the outside of the straightening casing. When the device is lowered into the completion string, the sliding friction between the device and the inner wall of the completion string is converted into rolling friction through the pulley, thereby reducing the probability of friction between the external components of the device and the inner wall of the completion string, and preventing the external components of the device from getting stuck in the completion string.

[0004] However, the above solution still has some shortcomings. A sandblaster is installed on the oil pipe for perforating operation. However, since the sandblaster is fixed, the number of perforation positions is also fixed. When large-scale perforating operation is required, the device needs to be repeatedly placed in the well for perforating, which is extremely inconvenient and reduces the practicality of the device.

A hydraulic cylinder 702 is fixed to the left side of the inner cavity of the receiving groove 701, and a mounting plate 703 is fixed to the right end of the hydraulic cylinder 702. When in use, the rubber scraper 6 is driven to rotate by the hydraulic motor 5 to cause the fracturing sand adhering to the inner wall of the completion string 1 to fall off. When the crushing assembly 7 is needed to crush harder materials, the hydraulic cylinder 702 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder 702 pushes the mounting plate 703 to slide rightward along the receiving groove 701. A second motor 704 is fixed to the right side of the mounting plate 703, and a screw 705 is fixed to the right end of the output shaft of the second motor 704. When the mounting plate 703 approaches the right side of the receiving groove 701, the hydraulic cylinder 702 is stopped and the second motor 704 is started. The second motor 704 drives the screw 705 to rotate, and the screw 705 The outer wall of the block 706 is threadedly connected, and the right end of the screw 705 is rotatably connected to the baffle 707. The left side of the baffle 707 is hinged with two crushing knives 708. The outer wall of the crushing knife 708 is hinged with a hinged rod 709 with one end hinged on the outer wall of the threaded block 706. The screw 705 drives the threaded block 706 to move to the right, and the threaded block 706 drives the hinged rod 709 to flip. When the hinged rod 709 unfolds the crushing knife 708 to a vertical state, the rubber scraper 6 can rotate to drive the crushing knife 708 to rotate, thereby crushing the hard objects on the front side of the rubber scraper 6. A plurality of support rods 710 are fixed between the mounting plate 703 and the baffle 707. The support rods 710 increase the stability of the connection between the mounting plate 703 and the baffle 707, and at the same time prevent the baffle 707 from affecting the expansion and contraction of the crushing knife 708 as the screw 705 rotates.

[0032] In certain specific embodiments of the present invention, the mounting plate 703 is loosely fitted with the receiving groove 701, the baffle 707 is loosely fitted with the receiving groove 701, a rubber ring is fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting plate 703, a threaded hole is provided on the left side of the threaded block 706 for the screw 705 to pass horizontally through and be compatible with it, the right side of the crushing knife 708 is the blade part, and when the crushing knife 708 is vertically penetrated, its right side blade part extends to the right side of the baffle 707.

[0033] The working process of one embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0034] During use, sand is added to the oil pipe 2, and the injection liquid enters the annular bin 302 through the connecting hole 304 and the annular groove 303 on the oil pipe 2, and is further sprayed out through the nozzle 305 to complete the perforation operation. When adjustment is needed, the first motor 306 is started, and the first motor 306 drives the gear 309 to rotate, and the gear 309 drives the annular rack 308 to rotate, and the annular rack 308 drives the annular bin 302 to rotate along the annular groove 301 on the outer peripheral wall of the oil pipe 2, and further drives the nozzle 305 to rotate for adjustment, which facilitates large-scale perforation operations without pulling out the oil pipe 2 and reinstalling the nozzle 305.

[0035] During use, the rubber scraper 6 is driven by the hydraulic motor 5 to rotate, so that the fracturing sand adhering to the inner wall of the completion string 1 falls off. When the crushing assembly 7 is needed to crush harder materials, the hydraulic cylinder 702 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder 702 pushes the mounting plate 703 to slide to the right along the receiving groove 701. When the mounting plate 703 is close to the right side of the receiving groove 701, the hydraulic cylinder 702 is stopped to start the second motor 704. The second motor 704 drives the screw 705 to rotate, and the screw 705 drives the threaded block 706 to move to the right. The threaded block 706 drives the hinged rod 709 to flip, and the hinged rod 709 unfolds the crushing knife 708 to a vertical state. At this time, the rotation of the rubber scraper 6 can drive the crushing knife 708 to rotate, thereby crushing the hard objects on the front side of the rubber scraper 6.
