[0002] Currently, the "3+2" chemical flooding projects in oilfields are mainly sand-producing reservoirs, all of which require sand control construction. However, due to the 5-1 / 2 wellbore size limitation, traditional mechanical filter installation cannot be used. Injection wells often use chemical sand control, followed by secondary well completion in the wellbore, i.e., running a single-tube polymer injection string. This process is cumbersome, takes a long time to occupy the well, and when the chemical sand control fails, the layered polymer injection string must also be retrieved, resulting in high operating costs.

Finally, flow control for each oil and water layer is achieved through a surface hydraulic control line and a signal cable.

[0060] Secondly, the present invention provides a construction method for a layered sand-control and polymer-injection integrated pipe, comprising the following steps:
[0061] Prepare a layered sand control and polymer injection unit with the same number of oil layers. Set the anti-adsorption filling gravel filling amount of the sand control throttling pipe section according to the oil layer condition. Assemble the downhole tubing string, run the downhole tubing string into the well, and set it.
[0062] The layered sand control and polymer injection unit or the unblocking injection device is opened, the control column is lowered, and the positioning tool and positioning cylinder are positioned so that the repeatedly switchable tool corresponds to the first or second switch slot. The repeatedly switchable tool is then lowered to open the layered sand control and polymer injection unit or the unblocking injection device.
[0063] When the layered sand control and polymer injection unit or unblocking injection device is closed, the control column is lowered and positioned with the positioning tool and positioning cylinder so that the reversible tool corresponds to the first or second switch slot. The reversible tool is then lifted to close the layered sand control and polymer injection unit or unblocking injection device.
[0064] The injection and unblocking operations are achieved by controlling the layered sand-prevention and agglomeration unit and the unblocking injection device.
[0065] Furthermore, during the injection construction, a positioning tool with an appropriate outer diameter is selected according to the required control level, and the control string is assembled.
[0066] When the control string is lowered into the well and the positioning tool is lowered to the corresponding positioning cylinder, the resistance between the positioning sleeve and the positioning tool indicates to the surface personnel that the position has been reached. At this time, the fixed distance is raised so that the switch valve corresponds to the first switch slot in the adjustable sand injection device that needs to be adjusted, and pressure is applied to the second tubing. The pressure acts on the switch valve through the pressure hole, the switch valve compresses the reset spring, moves outward, and the switch block is locked into the first switch slot.
[0067] The downward movement of the tool allows for repeated opening and closing, which in turn moves the first switch sleeve downward, causing the adjustable sand injection device to change from a closed state to an open state.
[0068] When the second oil pipe stops pressurizing, the switch valve moves inward under the action of the return spring, and the switch block retracts.
[0069] Based on the surface flow rate, when the required flow rate can be achieved, the adjustment is terminated; when further adjustment is needed, another adjustable sand injection device is activated.
[0070] Raise the reversible switch tool according to the position of the tubing string, so that the reversible switch tool corresponds to the first switch slot in the other stage of the adjustable sand control injection device. If the opening cannot be accurately positioned, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool, and then lower the control tubing string to open the adjustable sand control injection device until the required flow rate is reached.
[0071] When it is necessary to shut down the adjustable sand control injection device, the control string is lowered into the well, and the first switch sleeve is lifted by the reversible tool to change the adjustable sand control injection device from the open state to the closed state.
[0072] Furthermore, during the unblocking operation, a positioning tool with a suitable outer diameter is selected, the control string is assembled, and the control string is lowered into the well. The positioning tool is used to align the switch valve with the second switch slot in the unblocking injection device that needs to be adjusted. Pressure is applied into the second tubing, and the switch block is inserted into the second switch slot.
[0073] The tool that can be repeatedly switched on and off is lowered to change the second switch sleeve from the first locked state to the second locked state, thereby opening the unblocking injection device.
[0074] Stop pressurizing, and repeatedly switch the tool up and down according to the position of the tubing string to activate another stage of the unblocking injection device. If the device cannot be accurately positioned and activated, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool, and then lower the control tubing string to activate the unblocking injection device that needs to be activated.
[0075] After unblocking is completed, a control column is lowered, and the second switch sleeve is lifted using a reversible tool, changing the second switch sleeve from the second locked state to the first locked state, thereby closing the unblocking injection device.
[0076] Furthermore, during the control process, when the positioning tool gets stuck with the positioning cylinder, a soluble activating material is pumped into the well to dissolve the positioning sleeve, allowing the positioning tool to be retrieved normally.
[0077] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0078] 1. It adopts a layered sand control and polymer injection integrated design, realizing a high degree of integration of the two functions of the tubing string. It has functions such as layered injection, downhole adjustment, and large-volume unblocking. It can be used for mechanical layered sand control and layered polymer injection of 5-1 / 2 well tubing strings.
[0079] 2. Abandoning the original approach of regulating polymer flow rate by throttling units, we innovatively adopt pre-filling technology with different filling coefficients to regulate flow rate. The viscosity retention rate is not affected by machining accuracy and has a relatively high viscosity retention rate.
[0080] 3. Employing a continuous reading tubing + positioning tool + repeatedly switchable tool enables efficient downhole adjustment;
[0081] 4. The diameter of the integral tubing is significantly larger than that of the original step tubing, which further improves the viscosity retention rate and reduces operating costs.
[0082] 5. A reusable unblocking injection device is used to achieve efficient unblocking after downhole blockage. Attached Figure Description

Under the action of anti-backflow spring 507, the sealing part of anti-backflow sleeve 509 covers the first injection port 526. When the injection pressure of the first injection port 526 pushes the anti-backflow sleeve 509 upward, the anti-backflow sleeve 509 compresses the anti-backflow spring 507, opening the first injection port 526.

The annular space between the polymer injection sleeve 519 and the lower inner pipe 518 is filled with anti-adsorption filling gravel 520.
[0115] Among them, the anti-adsorption filling gravel 520 plays a throttling role. The filling coefficient of the sand-preventing injection device 5 is adjusted by controlling the density of the anti-adsorption filling gravel 520. The anti-adsorption filling gravel 520 also plays a sand-preventing role.
[0116] Specifically, the inner wall of the lower sheath 521 is threaded to the outer wall of the lower end of the lower inner tube 518, and the outer wall of the lower sheath 521 is welded to the lower end of the injection sleeve 519.
[0117] Furthermore, the water distribution head 510 and the bridge pipe section 516 are connected by a connecting assembly, which includes a pressure ring 514 and a connector 515.

When the lower end face of the first switch sleeve 506 contacts the upper end face of the connector 515, the second injection port 525 and the first injection port 526 coincide.
[0118] The third sealing ring 512 and the fourth sealing ring 513 cooperate with the first switch sleeve 506 to seal the first injection port 526.

[0136] Example 3:
[0137] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides the specific structure of the positioning tool 8 and the repeatedly switchable tool 9.
[0138] The positioning tool 8 includes a tube body, and a positioning sleeve 802 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tube body. A sixth protruding ring is provided on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 802. The upper and lower end faces of the sixth protruding ring are both guide surfaces. A seventh protruding ring is provided on the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 4. The upper and lower end faces of the seventh protruding ring are both guide surfaces. The inner diameter of the seventh protruding ring of the positioning cylinder 4 decreases from top to bottom. The positioning sleeve 802 can be positioned with one positioning cylinder 4.
[0139] The guide surface is a conical surface, which facilitates the positioning sleeve 802 to pass through the non-fitting positioning cylinder 4.
[0140] One positioning method for positioning sleeve 802 and positioning cylinder 4 is that the outer wall of the sixth convex ring and the inner wall of the seventh convex ring can be interference-fitted, and the downhole position of positioning sleeve 802 is determined by the surge in resistance.
[0141] Another positioning method for positioning sleeve 802 and positioning cylinder 4 is that the lower end of the sixth convex ring can sit on the upper end of the seventh convex ring, and the inner diameter of the seventh convex ring of positioning cylinder 4 decreases from top to bottom.
[0142] Specifically, the positioning sleeve 802 is provided with at least two evenly distributed locking grooves 803 on its exterior, which can reduce the resistance during the lowering process of the positioning sleeve.
[0143] Preferably, the positioning sleeve 802 is made of a soluble material.

A pressure hole 906 is provided on the inner wall of the body 901, which communicates with the bottom of the countersunk hole. By applying pressure, the switching valve 904 compresses the spring 907, causing the switching block to extend out of the countersunk hole and the cover plate 902, engaging with the switching groove.
[0146] Specifically, a rubber ring 907 is provided between the outer wall of the switching valve 904 and the wall of the second countersunk hole.

[0149] Example 4:
[0150] In conjunction with Examples 1-3, this embodiment provides a construction method for a layered sand-control and polymer-injection integrated tubular column, including the following steps:
[0151] S1. Prepare layered sand control and polymer injection units with the same number of oil layers. According to the water absorption of each oil well, fill different sand control and throttling pipe sections with anti-adsorption filling gravel 520 with different filling coefficients so that the injection pressure of the lowered adjustable sand control injection device 5 is within the adjustment range required by the formation.
[0152] Assemble the downhole tubing string and run it into the well. Adjust the sand control injection device 5 and the unblocking injection device 6 to be in the closed state. Pressurize from the wellhead into the first tubing 3 to pressurize and set the layered packer 7.
[0153] S2. Adjust the layered sand-prevention and agglomeration unit. When adjusting, select a positioning tool 8 with an appropriate outer diameter according to the required adjustment level and assemble the control string.
[0154] When the control string is lowered into the well and the positioning tool 8 is lowered to the corresponding positioning cylinder 4, the positioning sleeve 4 and the positioning tool 8 will generate a cooperation resistance, which can inform the surface personnel that the position has been reached. At this time, lifting it up a fixed distance will make the switch valve 904 correspond to the first switch groove 524 in the adjustable sand injection device 5 that needs to be adjusted, and pressurize the second oil pipe 10. The pressure acts on the switch valve 904 through the pressure hole 906. When a certain pressure is reached, the switch valve 904 compresses the return spring 905, the switch valve 904 moves outward, and the switch block is locked into the first switch groove 524.
[0155] By moving the repeatedly switchable tool 9 downwards, when the downward load exceeds the locking force of the locking ball 504, the repeatedly switchable tool 9 drives the first switch sleeve 506 to move downwards. The first switch sleeve 506 sits on the upper end face of the connector 515, and the locking ball 504 is inserted into the lower locking groove. At this time, the second injection port 525 and the first injection port 526 correspond, and the adjustable sand injection device 5 is opened.
[0156] When the second oil pipe 10 stops pressurizing, the switch valve 904 moves inward under the action of the return spring 905, and the switch block is retracted.
[0157] Based on the ground flow rate, when the required flow rate can be achieved, the adjustment is terminated; when further adjustment is needed, another adjustable sand injection device 5 is activated.
[0158] The reversible switch tool 9 is lifted according to the position of the tubing column, so that the reversible switch tool 9 corresponds to the first switch slot 524 in the other stage of the adjustable sand injection device 5. The positioning of a positioning cylinder 4 may cause deviations in the subsequent adjustment process. When the positioning cannot be accurately opened, the control tubing column is lifted, the positioning tool 8 is replaced, and the control tubing column is lowered again to open the adjustable sand injection device 5 until the required flow rate is reached.
[0159] S3. During the injection process, when the injected fluid reaches a certain pressure, the anti-backflow sleeve 509 moves upward and compresses the anti-backflow spring 507. At this time, the injected fluid passes through the bridge channel 527, enters the lower injection sleeve 519, passes through the anti-adsorption filling gravel 520, and flows into the formation.
[0160] After injection is stopped, the anti-backflow sleeve 9 moves down under the action of the anti-backflow spring 507, which can automatically close the injection channel and prevent foreign objects from the formation from being ejected into the tubing 3.
[0161] S4. When it is necessary to close the adjustable sand control injection device 5, select a positioning tool 8 with a suitable outer diameter, assemble the control string, and lower the control string into the well. Use the positioning tool 8 to make the switch valve 904 correspond to the first switch slot 524 in the adjustable sand control injection device 5 that needs to be adjusted, pressurize the second tubing 10, and the switch block will be inserted into the first switch slot 524.
[0162] By moving the repeatedly switchable tool 9 upward, when the lifting load exceeds the locking force of the locking ball 504, the repeatedly switchable tool 9 drives the first switch sleeve 506 to move upward, the first switch sleeve 506 becomes closed, the locking ball 504 cooperates with the upper locking groove, at this time, the second injection port 525 and the first injection port 526 are staggered, realizing the closure of the adjustable sand injection device 5;
[0163] Stop pressurizing, lift the repeatedly switchable tool 9 according to the position of the tubing string, and close the other stage adjustable sand injection device 5. If it cannot be accurately positioned and closed, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool 8, and then lower the control tubing string to close the adjustable sand injection device 5 that needs to be closed.
[0164] S5. When it is necessary to open the unblocking injection device 6 for unblocking operation, select a positioning tool 8 with a suitable outer diameter, assemble the control string, and lower the control string into the well. Use the positioning tool 8 to make the switch valve 904 correspond to the second switch groove 616 in the unblocking injection device 6 that needs to be adjusted, pressurize the second tubing 10, and the switch block will be inserted into the second switch groove 616.
[0165] When the load on the lowered tool 9 exceeds the locking force of the upper locking claw 606, the second switch sleeve 608 moves down and the lower locking claw 609 engages with the lower locking space. At this time, the fifth injection port 610 and the fourth injection port 613 are aligned, thereby opening the unblocking injection device 6 and locking the second switch sleeve 608 with the lower locking claw 609.
[0166] Stop pressurizing, and lift the repeatedly switchable tool 9 according to the position of the tubing string to open the other stage unblocking injection device 6. If it is not possible to accurately position and open it, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool 8, and then lower the control tubing string to open the unblocking injection device 6 that needs to be opened.
[0167] S6. Inject unblocking agent. After unblocking is completed, select a positioning tool 8 with a suitable outer diameter, assemble the control string, and lower the control string into the well. Use the positioning tool 8 to make the switch valve 904 correspond to the second switch groove 616 in the unblocking injection device 6 that needs to be adjusted, and pressurize the second tubing 10. The switch block is then inserted into the second switch groove 616.
[0168] When the lifting load exceeds the locking force of the lower locking claw 609, the second switch sleeve 608 moves upward and the upper locking claw 606 engages with the upper locking space. At this time, the fifth injection port 610 and the fourth injection port 613 separate, thereby closing the unblocking injection device 6 and locking the second switch sleeve 608 with the upper locking claw 606.
[0169] Stop pressurizing, and repeatedly lift and switch tool 9 according to the position of the tubing string to close the other stage unblocking injection device 6. When it is not possible to accurately position and close, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool 8, and then lower the control tubing string to close the unblocking injection device 6 that needs to be closed.
[0170] S7. During the control process, when the positioning tool 8 is stuck with the positioning cylinder 4, a soluble activating material, such as KCL, is pumped into the well to dissolve the positioning sleeve 802, so that the positioning tool 8 can be retrieved normally.

13. A construction method for a layered sand-control and polymer-injection integrated pipe, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Prepare a layered sand control and polymer injection unit with the same number of oil layers. Set the anti-adsorption filling gravel filling amount of the sand control throttling pipe section according to the oil layer condition. Assemble the downhole tubing string, run the downhole tubing string into the well, and set it. The layered sand control and polymer injection unit or the unblocking injection device is opened, the control column is lowered, and the positioning tool and positioning cylinder are positioned so that the repeatedly switchable tool corresponds to the first or second switch slot. The repeatedly switchable tool is then lowered to open the layered sand control and polymer injection unit or the unblocking injection device. When the layered sand control and polymer injection unit or unblocking injection device is closed, the control column is lowered and positioned with the positioning tool and positioning cylinder so that the reversible tool corresponds to the first or second switch slot. The reversible tool is then lifted to close the layered sand control and polymer injection unit or unblocking injection device. The injection and unblocking operations are achieved by controlling the layered sand-prevention and agglomeration unit and the unblocking injection device.
14. The construction method of a layered sand-control and polymer injection integrated tubular column according to claim 13, characterized in that, During the injection construction, a positioning tool with an appropriate outer diameter is selected according to the required control level, and the control string is assembled. When the control string is lowered into the well and the positioning tool is lowered to the corresponding positioning cylinder, the resistance between the positioning sleeve and the positioning tool indicates to the surface personnel that the position has been reached. At this time, the fixed distance is raised so that the switch valve corresponds to the first switch slot in the adjustable sand injection device that needs to be adjusted, and pressure is applied to the second tubing. The pressure acts on the switch valve through the pressure hole, the switch valve compresses the reset spring, moves outward, and the switch block is locked into the first switch slot. The downward movement of the tool allows for repeated opening and closing, which in turn moves the first switch sleeve downward, causing the adjustable sand injection device to change from a closed state to an open state. When the second oil pipe stops pressurizing, the switch valve moves inward under the action of the return spring, and the switch block retracts. Based on the surface flow rate, when the required flow rate can be achieved, the adjustment is terminated; when further adjustment is needed, another adjustable sand injection device is activated. Raise the reversible switch tool according to the position of the tubing string, so that the reversible switch tool corresponds to the first switch slot in the other stage of the adjustable sand control injection device. If the opening cannot be accurately positioned, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool, and then lower the control tubing string to open the adjustable sand control injection device until the required flow rate is reached. When it is necessary to shut down the adjustable sand control injection device, the control string is lowered into the well, and the first switch sleeve is lifted by the reversible tool to change the adjustable sand control injection device from the open state to the closed state.
15. The construction method of a layered sand-control and polymer injection integrated tubular column according to claim 13, characterized in that, During the unblocking operation, a positioning tool with a suitable outer diameter is selected, the control string is assembled, and the control string is lowered into the well. The positioning tool is used to align the switch valve with the second switch slot in the unblocking injection device that needs to be adjusted. Pressure is applied into the second tubing, and the switch block is inserted into the second switch slot. The tool that can be repeatedly switched on and off is lowered to change the second switch sleeve from the first locked state to the second locked state, thereby opening the unblocking injection device. Stop pressurizing, and repeatedly switch the tool up and down according to the position of the tubing string to activate another stage of the unblocking injection device. If the device cannot be accurately positioned and activated, remove the control tubing string, replace the positioning tool, and then lower the control tubing string to activate the unblocking injection device that needs to be activated. After unblocking is completed, a control column is lowered, and the second switch sleeve is lifted using a reversible tool, changing the second switch sleeve from the second locked state to the first locked state, thereby closing the unblocking injection device.
16. A construction method for a layered sand-control and polymer injection integrated tubular column according to claim 14 or 15, characterized in that, During the control process, when the positioning tool gets stuck with the positioning sleeve, a soluble activating material is pumped into the well to dissolve the positioning sleeve, allowing the positioning tool to be retrieved normally.
