The conventional coiled tubing preventer consists of four layers of rams, from top to bottom: full-closed ram, shear ram, hanging ram, and half-closed ram. This structure of the preventer is large in volume and high in cost. Subsequently, an ordinary composite double ram preventer emerged, but its high-pressure sealing is unreliable, and the slips are likely to pinch the coiled tubing when the pressure is high.

The other end of the half-sealing piston rod is connected with a double locking device.

[0009] The double locking device includes a half-sealing cap screw connected to one end of the half-sealing piston rod. A suspension cap screw is sleeved on the half-sealing cap screw. A hand wheel is fixedly connected to the end of the suspension cap screw away from the half-sealing piston rod. The other end of the suspension cap screw is connected with a piston sleeve, and the piston sleeve is sleeved outside the half-sealing piston rod and the half-sealing cap screw. The other end of the piston sleeve is fixedly connected to the end face of the opening of the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod, and the piston sleeve is located inside the hydraulic cylinder cover to form a hydraulic cavity. A through hole is opened on the piston sleeve, and the through hole communicates the cavity of the suspension piston rod with the hydraulic cavity. An external thread of the suspension cap screw is connected with a cap screw seat, and the cap screw seat is fixedly installed on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder cover.

[0010] The suspension piston rod is T-shaped, the inner cavity structure of the suspension piston rod is T-shaped, the half-sealing piston rod is cross-shaped, and the T-shaped inner cavity of the suspension piston rod is matched with the half-sealing piston rod.

[0011] A piston hanger is sleeved on one end of the suspension piston rod close to the suspension gate body. A gate hanger is correspondingly sleeved on the piston hanger. When the piston is closed, the piston hanger and the gate hanger are in contact with the rear end of the suspension gate body.

[0012] The suspension half-sealing gate assembly further includes a second top seal circumferentially installed on the suspension gate body. A limit hole is opened on the upper end face of the slip, and a screw is arranged in the limit hole. One end of the screw is fixed to the suspension gate body, and the other end is located in the limit hole. A sealing groove is opened on the outer wall of the slip push block, and an O-ring is installed in the sealing groove.

[0014] A double-piston composite double-gate blowout preventer and a method for hanging an oil pipe and sealing a wellhead:

[0015] 1) The suspension piston driving mechanism of the second driving device drives the suspension semi-closed gate assembly to move toward the center;

[0016] 2) The semi-sealed piston driving mechanism pushes the semi-sealed front seal to straighten and clamp the oil pipe first;

[0017] 3) The hydraulic pressure of the suspension piston drive mechanism then pushes the floating slips to further clamp the oil pipe, suspend the oil pipe, and seal the wellhead at the same time;

[0018] 4) When the coiled tubing is operating in the well and an emergency occurs in the well and the tubing needs to be cut and the seal opening needs to be sealed, the first drive device is started to drive the shear full-seal gate assembly to move toward the center of the wellhead and cut the tubing. After the tubing is cut, the shear full-seal gate assembly is matched and docked to seal the wellhead.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] The present invention provides a double-piston composite double-gate blowout preventer device, in which the power control of the suspended semi-closed gate is a double-piston structure, which pushes the slips to move toward the wellbore under the action of the hydraulic control force; because the semi-closed piston rod is installed in the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod, the hydraulic pressure causes the semi-closed piston rod to drive the semi-closed front seal to first straighten and clamp the oil pipe, and then the hydraulic pressure controls the suspension piston rod to drive the slips to further clamp the oil pipe, suspend and seal the oil pipe, and it looks like a whole but has its own division of labor and does not interfere with each other. At the same time, when the gate is closed, the floating slips are pushed by the slip push block, and the floating design structure of the metal rigid floating slips can avoid floating when the gate is closed. The slip seal will not pinch the oil pipe when the wellhead contacts the oil pipe, and the semi-sealed front seal is pushed by the gate body to compress and seal the oil pipe. When the gate is closed, they do not interfere with each other, so that the wellhead seal is reliable and the continuous oil pipe is not easily pinched. Since the second shear blade on the right shear gate is designed as a fixed blade and the first shear blade on the left shear gate body is designed as a floating blade, the floating blade can continue to compress the full front seal on the rear side after shearing the oil pipe, so that the seal is more reliable. The device of the present invention presses and limits the hanging piston rod and the semi-sealed piston rod through the double locking device of the hanging semi-sealed gate assembly, so as to ensure the continuous good sealing performance when the hanging gate body is closed and clamped.

[0021] The method for hanging the oil pipe and sealing the wellhead of the device of the present invention comprises the following steps: when closing the gate, the semi-sealed piston rod of the semi-sealed piston driving mechanism is used to push the semi-sealed front seal to straighten and clamp the oil pipe first; and then the hanging piston rod of the hanging piston driving mechanism pushes the floating slip to further clamp the oil pipe until the semi-sealed front seal and the slip reach the maximum pressing force under the driving of their respective corresponding pistons, thereby realizing the hanging of the oil pipe and sealing the wellhead at the same time; when the hanging gate body is closed and clamped, they do not interfere with each other; under the effect of well pressure auxiliary sealing, only the semi-sealed front seal will be compressed to increase the sealing force, and the slip will not be compressed, so the sealing is reliable under high well pressure and the continuous oil pipe is not easy to be clamped; when the continuous oil pipe is operating in the well, the well pressure is abnormal and the oil pipe and the seal opening need to be cut, the first driving device is started to drive the shearing full-sealed gate assembly to move toward the center of the wellhead and cut the oil pipe, and after the oil pipe is cut, the floating blade can continue to compress the front seal to make the sealing more reliable.

Specific embodiments

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] As Figure 1As shown in FIGS. 1-6, a double-piston composite double-gate blowout preventer includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, a shear full-closed gate assembly 2 for cutting the tubing and closing the wellhead, and a hanging half-closed gate assembly 5 for hanging the tubing and sealing the wellhead are symmetrically installed from top to bottom. The shear full-closed gate assembly 2 is connected to a first driving device and a locking device. The hanging half-closed gate assembly 5 is connected to a second driving device and a double-locking device for pressing and fixing the half-closed piston rod 811 and the hanging piston rod 801. The second driving device includes a hanging piston driving mechanism and a half-closed piston driving mechanism. The hanging half-closed gate assembly 5 includes a hanging gate body 51. Inside the hanging gate body 51, a half-closed front seal 52 and a floating slip 54 are installed. The half-closed front seal 52 is connected to the half-closed piston driving mechanism, and the floating slip 54 is connected to the hanging piston driving mechanism. Preferably, the hanging half-closed gate assembly 5 further includes a slip push block 56 arranged at the rear side of the floating slip 54. It should be noted that the mounting surface of the floating slip 54 has a clearance fit with the half-closed front seal 52 and the hanging gate body 51, and the floating slip 54 is located above the half-closed front seal 52. A limiting hole is provided on the upper end surface of the floating slip 54. A screw 57 is arranged in the limiting hole. One end of the screw 57 is fixed to the hanging gate body 51, and the other end is located in the limiting hole. A slip push block 56 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the floating slip 54, and a clearance is left between the rear end surface of the floating slip 54 and the hanging gate body 51. The slip push block 56 has a clearance fit with the hanging gate body 51. The clamping surface at the front end of the floating slip 54 is granular teeth. The half-closed front seal 52 is fixedly connected to the hanging gate body 51.The suspension semi-closed gate assembly 5 is driven by a double piston structure. In the first stage, due to the structure that the semi-closed piston rod 811 is arranged in the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801, and the cross-shaped semi-closed piston rod 811 cooperates with the T-shaped inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801, the hydraulic end cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 has a gap for the semi-closed piston rod 811 to move. When the hydraulic pressure acts, the hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic oil cavity outside the piston sleeve 810 through the oil path in the hydraulic cylinder cover 805, and then passes through the piston sleeve 810. The through hole on the upper side enters the cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 and acts on the semi-sealed piston rod 811. The semi-sealed piston rod 811 moves first in the suspension piston rod 801. When the end face of the hydraulic end cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 contacts the end face of the semi-sealed piston rod 811, when the suspension piston rod 801 moves in the second hydraulic cylinder 804, the suspension piston rod 801 and the semi-sealed piston rod 811 simultaneously drive the suspension semi-sealed gate assembly 5 to move toward the center. The semi-sealed front seal 52 first straightens and clamps the oil pipe. The second stage Since the semi-sealed front seal 52 is a rubber semi-sealed front seal, the semi-sealed front seal 52 has a certain amount of compression and expansion, and the hydraulic pressure controls the semi-sealed piston rod 811 to drive the semi-sealed front seal 52 to increase the squeezing force on the oil pipe. As well as the design structure of the floating slip 54 in the suspended semi-sealed gate assembly 5, the hydraulic pressure continues to control the suspension piston rod 801 to drive the floating slip 54 to further clamp the oil pipe until the semi-sealed front seal 52 and the floating slip 54 reach the maximum clamping force under the drive of their respective corresponding pistons. Therefore, the double piston drive structure looks like a whole but has its own division of labor and does not interfere with each other. At the same time, when the suspended gate body 51 is closed, the floating slip 54 is driven by the suspended piston drive mechanism through the slip push block 56, and the semi-sealed front seal 52 is driven by the semi-sealed piston rod through the suspended gate body 51. When the suspended gate body 51 is closed, they do not interfere with each other. Under the action of well pressure auxiliary sealing, the semi-sealed front seal 52 is compressed, the sealing pressure is increased, and the floating slip 54 will not be compressed. Therefore, the sealing is reliable under high well pressure and it is not easy to clamp the continuous oil pipe.

[0031] In the present invention, the second suspension piston driving mechanism includes a second hydraulic cylinder 804 and a suspension piston rod 801 with an inner cavity structure, one end of the suspension piston rod 801 cooperates with the second hydraulic cylinder 804, and the other end is connected to the floating cava 54 through the cava push block 56, and the end of the hydraulic cylinder 804 is installed with a hydraulic cylinder cover 805, and a hydraulic oil circuit is arranged in the hydraulic cylinder cover 805; the second semi-sealed piston driving mechanism includes a semi-sealed piston rod 811, the semi-sealed piston rod 811 is connected to the semi-sealed front seal 52 through the suspension gate body 51, and the semi-sealed piston rod 811 is located in the cavity of the suspension piston rod 801. When the semi-sealed piston rod 811 is driven, one end of the semi-sealed piston rod 811 extends out of the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 and cooperates with the suspension gate body 51, and the other end of the semi-sealed piston rod 811 is connected with a double locking device.

[0032] Further, the suspension piston rod 801 is T-shaped, the inner cavity structure of the suspension piston rod 801 is T-shaped, the half-sealing piston rod 811 is cross-shaped, and the T-shaped inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 cooperates with the half-sealing piston rod 811. Preferably, a piston hanger 7 is sleeved at one end of the suspension piston rod 801 close to the suspension gate body 51, and a gate hanger 6 is correspondingly sleeved on the piston hanger 7. When the piston is closed, the piston hanger 7 and the gate hanger 6 are in contact with the rear end of the suspension gate body 51.

[0033] In the present invention, the double locking device includes a half-sealing plug 809 connected to one end of the half-sealing piston rod 811. A suspension plug 807 is sleeved on the half-sealing plug 809, and the internal thread of the suspension plug 807 cooperates with the external thread of the half-sealing plug 809. A handwheel 808 is fixedly connected to the end of the suspension plug 807 away from the half-sealing piston rod 811. The other end of the suspension plug 807 is connected to a piston sleeve 810, and the piston sleeve 810 is sleeved on the outer sides of the half-sealing piston rod 811 and the half-sealing plug 809. The other end of the piston sleeve 810 is fixedly connected to the end face of the opening of the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801, and the piston sleeve 810 is located inside the hydraulic cylinder cover 805 to form a hydraulic cavity. A through hole is opened on the piston sleeve 810, and the through hole communicates the cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 with the hydraulic cavity; an external thread of the suspension plug 807 is connected to a plug seat 806, and the plug seat 806 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hydraulic cylinder cover 805. When the suspension piston rod 801 and the half-sealing piston rod 811 reach the maximum pressing force through hydraulic pressure, the handwheel 808 is rotated. The external thread of the suspension plug 807 cooperates with the external thread of the plug seat 806, so that the suspension plug 807 can rotate and feed forward, and the suspension plug 807 acts on the piston sleeve 810, so that the piston sleeve 810 presses and limits the suspension piston rod 801 to achieve locking; the half-sealing plug 809 is rotated by a tool, and the internal thread of the suspension plug 807 cooperates with the internal thread of the half-sealing plug 809, so that the half-sealing plug 809 presses and limits the half-sealing piston rod 811 to achieve locking.

[0034] Preferably, the suspension half-sealing gate assembly 5 further includes a second top seal 53 circumferentially installed on the suspension gate body 51. A sealing groove is opened on the outer wall of the slip push block 56, and an O-ring 58 is installed in the sealing groove; the half-sealing front seal 52 is fixedly installed on the suspension gate body 51 through a key 55.

[0035] In the present invention, the shear full-closed ram assembly 2 includes a left shear ram body 21 and a right shear ram body 22 that cooperate with each other. Shearing blades and seals are installed on both the left shear ram body 21 and the right shear ram body 22, and the seal is a rubber seal.

The second shearing blade 27 is fixedly installed on the right shear ram body 22 through a screw 26, and the first shearing blade 25 is floatingly installed on the left shear ram body 21 through a screw 26. The screw hole on the first shearing blade 25 is in clearance fit with the screw 26. The first shearing blade 25 is located at the lower end of the second shearing blade 27. The seal includes a full-closed front seal 24 installed between the first shearing blade 25 and the left shear ram body 21, and a top seal 23 circumferentially arranged on the left shear ram body 21 and the right shear ram body 22. The full-closed front seal 24 is installed on the left shear ram body 21 in an inlaid manner. When the left shear ram body 21 and the right shear ram body 22 move towards the center to shear the tubing, the first shearing blade 25 and the second shearing blade 27 slide relative to each other, and their contact surfaces are in close contact. After cutting the tubing, the right shear ram body 22 and the second shearing blade 27 are matched and docked with the left shear ram body 21 for sealing, and the left shear ram body 21 and the first shearing blade 25 are matched and docked with the right shear ram body 22 for sealing. Due to the floating installation structure of the first shearing blade 25, when the first shearing blade 25 is docked and extruded with the right shear ram body 22, a reaction force is applied to the full-closed front seal 24, extruding the full-closed front seal 24, increasing the sealing pressure of the contact surface between the full-closed front seal 24 and the right shear ram body 22, making the seal more reliable. At the same time, it can protect the right shear ram body 22 from being damaged by the first shearing blade 25 and avoid the phenomenon of blade breakage.

[0036] It should be noted that a shear full-closed ram assembly 2 and a hanging half-closed ram assembly 5 are installed in the housing 1.

Both the shear full-closed end cap 9 and the hanging half-closed end cap 8 are connected to a hydraulic mechanism. The hydraulic mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder and a piston rod. One end of the piston rod is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, and the other end is connected to the shear full-closed ram assembly 2 or the hanging half-closed ram assembly 5. The hanging half-closed ram assembly 5 includes a hanging ram body 51, a half-closed front seal 52, and a floating slip 54. A slip push block 56 is installed in a matching manner with the floating slip 54. The piston rod cooperating with the hanging half-closed end cap 8 includes a half-closed piston rod 811 for driving the half-closed front seal 52 and a hanging piston rod 801 for driving the floating slip 54. The present invention suspends and seals the tubing. Although it seems as a whole, each part has its own division of labor and does not interfere with each other. The seal is reliable and it is not easy to pinch the coiled tubing.

[0037] Furthermore, the housing 1 is a cuboid with an axial through-hole in the center. Two parallel radial through-holes are radially provided in the housing 1 from top to bottom, and both of the radial through-holes are communicated with the axial through-hole. The inner side of the shear full-closed end cover 9 has a first groove and a first through-hole, and the first groove is communicated with the first through-hole. The inner side of the hanging half-closed end cover 8 has a second groove and a second through-hole, and the second groove is communicated with the second through-hole. The first groove of the shear full-closed end cover 9 and the second groove of the hanging half-closed end cover 8 are respectively communicated with the two radial through-holes of the housing 1.

Preferably, a locking device is connected to the other end of the first piston rod. Specifically, the locking device includes a piston rod setscrew threadedly connected to one end of the first piston rod. A setscrew seat is sleeved on the piston rod setscrew, and the setscrew seat is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hydraulic cylinder cover of the first hydraulic cylinder. The first driving device and the second driving device further include a slide bar 803 and a slide bar hydraulic cylinder 802 for guiding. One end of the slide bar hydraulic cylinder 802 on the second driving device is connected to the hanging half-closed end cover 8, and one end of the slide bar hydraulic cylinder 802 on the first driving device is connected to the shear full-closed end cover 9.

[0039] In addition, side flange assemblies 3 for pumping in and discharging liquids and balance valve assemblies 4 for balancing the pressures in the upper and lower cavities of the gate are installed on both sides of the device of the present invention. When the coiled tubing is operating in the well and special situations such as abnormal well pressure occur and it is necessary to cut the tubing, the shear gate can be used to cut the tubing, and at the same time, the full-closed gate can be used to seal the well, and the liquid can be pumped into the well through the pipe manifold connected by the side flange. The balance valve assembly 4 is used to open the blowout preventer only after the pressures above and below the gate body are balanced by opening the balance valve when it is necessary to open the blowout preventer.

Among them, the hanging semi-closed gate assembly 5 and the shear full-closed gate assembly 2 are installed in the gate cavity of the shell 1 of the blowout preventer. The hanging semi-closed gate 5 is used to hang the oil pipe and seal the wellhead when there is a continuous oil pipe in the well. The hanging semi-closed front seal and the hanging slip are driven by the slip push block and the gate body respectively. The shear full-closed gate 2 is used to cut the oil pipe and seal the wellhead; the hanging semi-closed end cap assembly is a double piston structure, which pushes the hanging semi-closed gate to move toward the wellbore under the action of the hydraulic control force.

[0042] The housing 1 is installed on the wellhead device through a flange. When the coiled tubing is in operation, the corresponding specification of the hanging semi-sealed gate can be used to seal the well. In the first stage: when the hydraulic pressure acts, the semi-sealed piston rod 811 moves first in the hanging piston rod 801, and then when the hanging piston rod 801 moves in the second hydraulic cylinder 804, the hanging piston rod 801 and the semi-sealed piston rod 811 simultaneously drive the hanging semi-sealed composite gate body 5 to move toward the center, and the semi-sealed front seal 52 firstly straightens and clamps the tubing; in the second stage, the semi-sealed After the squeezing force of the front seal 52 on the oil pipe increases, the hydraulic pressure continues to control the suspension piston rod 801 to drive the floating slip 54 to further clamp the oil pipe until the suspension and the semi-seal reach the maximum clamping force under the drive of their respective corresponding pistons. Therefore, the dual piston drive structure looks like a whole but each has its own division of labor and does not interfere with each other. At the same time, when closing the suspension gate body 51, the slip 54 is driven by the suspension piston drive mechanism through the slip push block 56, and the semi-seal front seal 52 is driven by the semi-seal piston rod mechanism through the suspension gate body 51. The floating slips 52 are compressed under the action of well pressure to increase the sealing pressure, so the sealing is reliable and the coiled tubing is not easy to be clamped under high well pressure. When the coiled tubing is operating in the well, when an abnormal situation occurs in the well and the tubing needs to be cut and the seal is opened, the first drive device is started to control the left shearing ram body 21 and the right shearing ram body 22 of the shearing full-sealing ram assembly 2 to move toward the center of the wellhead at the same time, so that the shear blade 25 To cut the oil pipe, the top seals 23 on the left shear ram body 21 and the right shear ram body 22 are tightly attached to the sealing surface of the ram cavity of the shell 1, and the top seal 23 and the fully sealed front seal 24 work together to achieve sealing and control the wellbore pressure. Since the shear blade 25 on the right shear ram body 22 is designed as a fixed blade and the shear blade 25 on the left shear ram body 21 is designed as a floating blade, the reaction force of the floating blade can continue to squeeze and compress the fully sealed front seal 24 on the rear side after shearing the oil pipe, making the sealing more reliable.

[0043] A double-piston composite double-gate blowout preventer and a method for hanging an oil pipe and sealing a wellhead:

[0044] 1) The suspension piston driving mechanism of the second driving device drives the suspension semi-enclosed gate assembly 5 to move toward the center; specifically, due to the structure that the semi-enclosed piston rod 811 is arranged in the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801, when the hydraulic pressure acts, the semi-enclosed piston rod 811 first moves in the suspension piston rod 801, and when the hydraulic end of the semi-enclosed piston rod 811 contacts the end surface of the cavity of the suspension piston rod 801, the other end of the semi-enclosed piston rod 811 extends out of the inner cavity of the suspension piston rod 801 by a certain distance, and then the suspension piston rod 801 and the semi-enclosed piston rod 811 simultaneously drive the suspension semi-enclosed composite gate body 5 to move toward the center;

[0045] 2) The semi-sealed piston rod 811 of the semi-sealed piston driving mechanism pushes the semi-sealed front seal 52 to first straighten and clamp the oil pipe;

[0046] 3) The suspension piston rod 801 of the suspension piston driving mechanism then pushes the floating slip 54 to further clamp the oil pipe until the semi-sealed front seal 52 and the slip 54 reach the maximum clamping force under the drive of their respective corresponding pistons, thereby suspending the oil pipe and sealing the wellhead at the same time;

[0047] 4) When the coiled tubing is operating in the well and an emergency occurs in the well and it is necessary to cut the tubing and seal the wellhead, the first drive device is started to drive the shear full-seal gate assembly 2 to move toward the center of the wellhead and cut the tubing. After the tubing is cut, the reaction force of the floating blade on the shear full-seal gate assembly 2 can continue to squeeze and compress the full front seal 24 on the rear side, making the seal more reliable; at the same time, the floating blade can protect the full front seal 24 from being damaged during the movement toward the center of the wellhead.

[0048] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the above-mentioned specific examples are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the improvements and changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of the present invention still embody the principles of the present invention and achieve the purpose of the present invention, and all belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
