Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casing heads, more particularly, the present application relates to an oilfield wellhead anti-leakage casing head. BACKGROUND
[0002] The casing head is one of the core components of the wellhead device, mainly used for fixing the wellhead structure and bearing multiple functions. As the key hub connecting the downhole casing string and the ground equipment, it not only suspends the weight of each layer of casing except the surface casing, but also prevents pressure intercommunication through sealing the annular space of the casing, ensuring the safety of well control. During the drilling stage, the casing head provides a mounting base for the blowout preventer, while in the oil production period, it transitions to the connection of the tubing head and the Christmas tree. In addition, its side port function supports cementing, pressure balancing and emergency fluid injection, significantly improving cementing quality and operational flexibility.
[0003] The patent document CN119981754A discloses an energy-saving and environmentally friendly casing head, which comprises a casing head body, a flange joint, a slip body, a slip seat, and a stop mechanism. The casing head body is connected to the flange joint by multiple bolts at the top. The inner wall of the casing head body is provided with an annular assembly groove, and the bottom of the annular assembly groove is provided with an inverted conical bearing surface that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The slip seat is seated in the annular assembly groove, and the inverted conical bearing surface at the bottom of the slip seat is pressed onto the inverted conical bearing surface. The slip body is seated in the slip seat, and the lower outer conical surface of the slip body is pressed onto the inner conical surface of the slip seat. The casing head body is connected to the stop mechanism, and the inner end of the stop mechanism is in abutting contact with the slip body. The bottom of the flange joint is in abutting contact with the stop mechanism. The casing head body and the flange joint are designed as a detachable structure, which facilitates replacement when any component is damaged, thereby allowing the use of undamaged components, saving energy and protecting the environment, and reducing waste.
[0004] In the above technical solution, a first ring groove is formed in the slip seat to assemble a sealing ring. When the slip bears the weight of the casing string, the sealing ring is squeezed by the slip to seal the annular space between the casing string and the slip seat. However, during oil well operation, if the pressure between the casing string and the surface casing increases, the pressure in the annular space between the casing string and the slip seat will also increase, which will push the slip upwards. Although there is a stop mechanism, even a small amount of displacement will cause the sealing between the slip and the slip seat to fail, which will threaten the safety of the wellhead.

[0033] The working principle of the above technical scheme is as follows: The oil field well head leak-proof casing head comprises a base 1, a casing head body 2, a slip 3, a slip seat 4 and a leak-proof mechanism 5, the casing head body 2 is arranged on the base 1, the slip seat 4 is arranged in the casing head body 2, the slip 3 is arranged in the slip seat 4, the lower part of the outer circumferential surface of the slip 3 is a conical surface, the upper part of the inner wall of the slip seat 4 is an inner conical surface, the conical surface and the inner conical surface are connected in cooperation, the leak-proof mechanism 5 is arranged in the slip seat 4, the slip 3 is locked when the slip 3 is subjected to the upward pressure in the well, the slip 3 is used for clamping the casing string, under the gravity of the casing string, the conical surface of the lower part of the slip 3 is pressed with the inner conical surface of the slip seat 4, and the sealing ring in the second sealing groove 19 is extruded, the sealing between the slip 3 and the slip seat 4 is realized, when the downhole pressure increases, the annular space (hereinafter referred to as annulus) pressure between the casing string and the surface casing increases, the upward pressure on the lower part of the slip 3 is generated, the pressure of the slip 3 on the slip seat 4 is reduced, the sealing effect of the sealing ring is reduced, when the downhole pressure increases again, the slip 3 has the risk of micro-displacement upward, and the sealing failure between the slip 3 and the slip seat is caused.
[0034] The leak-proof mechanism 5 comprises a piston 6 and a clamping block 7, the slip seat 4 is provided with a ring-shaped hydraulic cavity 8, the inner conical surface of the slip seat 4 is provided with a ring-shaped groove 9, a plurality of piston holes 11 are arranged on the inner wall of the slip seat 4 along the circumferential direction, the piston 6 is arranged in the piston hole 11, the clamping block 7 is arranged in the groove 9, a plunger hole 10 is arranged on the bottom surface of the groove 9 along the circumferential direction, the plunger hole 10 is communicated with the hydraulic cavity 8, the clamping block 7 comprises an arc-shaped plate 12 and a plunger 13, the plunger 13 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the protruding side of the arc-shaped plate 12, the arc-shaped plate 12 is arranged in the groove 9, the plunger 13 is arranged in the plunger hole 10, a ring-shaped limiting groove 14 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the slip 3 at the position opposite to the groove 9, the arc-shaped plate 12 is clamped in the limiting groove 14, the hydraulic cavity 8 is filled with hydraulic oil, when the annular space pressure between the casing string and the surface casing increases, the pressure acts on the lower end of the slip 3 and is transmitted to the sealing area between the slip and the slip seat. The increase of the annulus pressure acts on the end surface of the piston 6 on the side towards the center of the slip seat 4, a plurality of pistons 6 are subjected to the pressure in the annulus, the pressure is applied to the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cavity 8, the hydraulic oil transmits the pressure to the end surface of the plunger 13 on the side close to the hydraulic cavity 8, the hydraulic oil pushes the plunger 13 to the side away from the hydraulic cavity 8, the plunger 13 drives the arc-shaped plate 12 to move, the arc-shaped plate 12 partially enters into the limiting groove 14, the rear part of the arc-shaped plate 12 in the groove 9 fixes the axial position of the arc-shaped plate 12 and the slip seat 4, the front part of the arc-shaped plate 12 enters into the limiting groove 14 to lock the slip 3 and the slip seat 4, the slip 3 is prevented from moving upward, so that the sealing failure between the slip 3 and the slip seat 4 is prevented.
[0035] The lower side of the limiting groove 14 can be provided with a taper, and the lower end surface of the arc-shaped plate 12 is also provided with a taper with the same taper as the lower side of the limiting groove 14, so that the arc-shaped plate 12 can smoothly enter the limiting groove 14, and the taper can also make the slip have a downward displacement trend, thereby improving the sealing between the slip 3 and the slip seat 4. The included angle between the taper and the horizontal plane should be less than the friction angle, so that the lower end surface of the arc-shaped plate 12 and the lower side of the limiting groove 14 can be self-locked. When the slip 3 has an upward movement trend, the lower side of the limiting groove 14 is pressed on the lower end surface of the arc-shaped plate 12. Since the included angle between the taper and the horizontal plane should be less than the friction angle, the radial component force of the arc-shaped plate 12 cannot overcome the static friction force, thereby self-locking between the slip 3 and the arc-shaped plate 12, and preventing the slip 3 from pushing the arc-shaped plate 12 out of the limiting groove 14 when the slip 3 is subjected to pressure.
[0036] The anti-leakage mechanism 5 further comprises a spring 15, one end of the spring 15 is connected with the end surface of the piston 6 close to one end of the hydraulic cavity 8, the other end of the spring 15 is connected with the side wall of the hydraulic cavity 8, the spring 15 provides a certain pressure, and is used for balancing the pressure in the hydraulic cavity 8 and the pressure between the casing string and the slip seat when the pressure between the casing string and the slip seat does not cause the slip 3 to have a slight upward displacement. When the pressure reaches a certain value, the spring 15 is compressed, the piston 6 is pushed and squeezes the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cavity 8, the hydraulic oil in turn pushes the plunger 13, and the locking of the slip is completed. After the pressure at the downhole is restored to normal, the slip is slightly moved downward under the gravity of the casing string, the limiting groove 14 and the arc-shaped plate 12 are released from the self-locking, the piston 6 moves away from the hydraulic cavity 8 under the elastic force of the spring 15, the hydraulic oil pressure of the hydraulic cavity 8 is reduced, the plunger 13 moves toward the hydraulic cavity 8, the arc-shaped plate 12 moves toward the hydraulic cavity, and the locking of the slip 3 is released. When the slip is locked, the air in the limiting groove 14 is compressed and the pressure increases. In order to reduce the influence of the air in the limiting groove 14 on the arc-shaped plate 12, the width of the limiting groove 14 can be increased, and the total volume of the limiting groove 14 is increased. When the arc-shaped plate 12 enters the limiting groove 14, the volume of the air in the limiting groove 14 is less compressed, and the increased pressure does not affect the entry of the arc-shaped plate 12 into the limiting groove 14. When the width of the limiting groove 14 is increased, attention should be paid to not affecting the position of the lower side of the limiting groove 14. When the lower end surface of the arc-shaped plate 12 enters the limiting groove 14, it can just press the lower side of the limiting groove 14.
[0037] The inner wall of the casing head body 2 is provided with a bearing surface 16, the bearing surface 16 is tapered, the bottom of the slip seat 4 is an outer tapered surface 17 matched with the shape of the bearing surface 16, and the outer tapered surface 17 is pressed on the bearing surface 16. The bearing surface 16 can bear the downward pressure of the slip seat 4, and the bearing surface 16 is tapered, so that the slip seat 4 can be automatically centered.
[0038] The inner wall of the casing head body 2 opposite to the outer circumferential surface of the slip seat 4 is provided with a first sealing groove 18. The inner conical surface of the slip seat 4 is provided with a second sealing groove 19 spaced from the groove 9, and a sealing ring is arranged in the first sealing groove 18 and the second sealing groove 19. The sealing ring can be selected from an elastomer sealing ring or a metal sealing ring. The elastomer sealing ring can be selected from a fluororubber sealing ring. The fluororubber sealing ring has excellent high-temperature resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance and acid medium resistance, and is the most commonly used material for main sealing and key sealing in oil and gas wells, especially in wells containing corrosive media such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and condensate oil.
[0039] The metal sealing ring is made of pure metal (such as copper and aluminum) or high-strength alloy steel, and the surface is often plated with a soft metal layer (such as silver and nickel). The metal sealing ring has the advantages of ultra-high pressure resistance, ultra-high temperature resistance, radiation resistance and long service life, and is often used in key static sealing points of wellhead devices or underwater Christmas trees.
[0040] The casing head is installed in the wellhead and is the main pressure-bearing carrier of the casing string. Moreover, the depth of the oil well is generally large, and the casing string must be kept from being deflected. Therefore, the horizontal precision of the casing head body 2 must be ensured during installation of the casing head. If the upper end surface of the casing head body 2 is not horizontal, the vertical axis of the casing head body 2 will be deflected, and the casing string cannot be well fitted with the slips during installation. The slips 3 and the casing string are different in axis, which affects the clamping of the casing string by the slips 3 and may even cause damage to the casing head.
[0041] In order to keep the upper end surface of the casing head body 2 horizontal during installation, a leveling assembly is arranged on the base 1, and the casing head body 2 is connected to the base 1 through the leveling assembly. The leveling assembly is used to keep the upper end surface of the casing head body 2 horizontal during installation of the casing head body 2.
[0042] The leveling assembly comprises leveling motors 20 fixedly arranged on the base 1. The leveling motors 20 are arranged in an array in the circumferential direction and are at least three in number. A lead screw 21 is fixedly arranged on the power output shaft of each leveling motor 20. A flange plate 22 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the casing head body 2. A first semispherical groove 23 is arranged at a position opposite to the lead screw 21 on the bottom surface of the flange plate 22. A fixed plate 24 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the flange plate 22. A second semispherical groove 25 is arranged on the upper end surface of the fixed plate 24 opposite to the first semispherical groove 23. A spherical nut 26 is rotatably arranged in the first semispherical groove 23 and the second semispherical groove 25. The spherical nut 26 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 21. Two bubble levels perpendicular to each other are arranged on the upper end surface of the flange plate 22. Fixed holes 27 are arranged on the base 1 spaced from the leveling motors 20. Fixed pins are arranged in the fixed holes 27.
[0043] In the installation of the casing head, the base is placed on the ground or well platform, the fixing pins are passed through the fixing holes 27, the pins are inserted into the ground or well platform, the base 1 is fixed, after the base is fixed, the three leveling motors 20 are adjusted according to the positions of the bubbles in the two bubble levels on the upper end face of the flange 22, so that the upper end face of the casing head body 2 is kept horizontal, at this time, the casing head body 2 is fixed, the casing head body 2 can be welded with the surface casing or connected through the flange, and the installation of the casing head body 2 is completed.
[0044] In the leveling of the upper end face of the casing head body 2, the three leveling motors 20 are respectively started according to the positions of the bubbles in the two bubble levels, the heights of the casing head body 2 in three directions are controlled, the bubbles in the bubble levels are moved to the middle positions, and it is indicated that the leveling of the casing head body 2 is completed.
[0045] The spherical nut 26 can be omni-directionally rotated in the spherical space formed by the first half-spherical recess 23 and the second half-spherical recess 25, in the leveling of the casing head body 2, when one of the lead screws 21 is rotated, the inclination of the casing head body 2 will not affect the positions between the other two lead screws 21 and the spherical nut 26, and interference between the three lead screws 21 is prevented.
[0046] The perpendicularity precision of the upper end face of the casing head body 2 to the axis should be within the range of the machining precision requirement.
[0047] The main structure of the bubble level is a glass tube, the inner wall of the glass tube is curved in the upper part, liquid (such as alcohol or ether) is filled in the glass tube, and a bubble is left. Since the bubble has a smaller density than the liquid, it always stays at the highest point of the glass tube. When the level is placed on a horizontal surface, the bubble stays at the scale position in the center of the glass tube; if the surface is inclined, the bubble moves to the high side. Two bubble levels arranged perpendicularly to each other adjust the horizontal state of two perpendicular directions respectively, when the horizontal state of the two perpendicular directions is reached, the plane formed by the two directions is the horizontal plane, the two bubble levels arranged perpendicularly to each other do not affect each other in the leveling, and the leveling efficiency can be improved.
[0048] The casing head body 2 can be welded on the surface casing, and the slip 3 can use a split slip.
