Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to downhole fracturing equipment in the field of shale gas production and drainage, and in particular to a clip-type continuous ball thrower. Background Art
[0002] Shale gas is a natural gas resource that can be mined in shale layers. With the substantial increase in shale gas production in the United States, it has achieved energy independence and even achieved energy export, making shale gas widely concerned around the world. The innovation of shale gas exploration and mining technology has greatly promoted the increase of shale gas production in the United States. The abundant reserves and economic feasibility of the United States have also accelerated the commercialization of shale gas. At the same time, in order to cope with climate change and reduce carbon emissions, vigorously developing shale gas can reduce the high dependence on high-carbon emission coal and oil. Therefore, the development of shale gas has far-reaching significance for my country's economic development and environmental protection.
[0003] As a country with rich shale gas reserves, my country has built a number of high-yield shale gas fields, including the Fuling shale gas field, Weiyuan shale gas field, Weirong shale gas field, Changning shale gas field, Luzhou shale gas field, and Southern Sichuan shale gas field.
[0004] Shale gas exists in organic-rich mudstone and its interlayers in an adsorbed and free state. To increase production capacity, the development of more than 85% of shale gas fields in the United States requires the use of horizontal wells and staged fracturing technology. This technology has also made great progress in my country. At present, my country's staged pressure technology and equipment localization have achieved excellent results. However, the performance and operation methods of some equipment still need to be improved.
[0005] The full-bore bridge plug used in staged fracturing operations needs to be used in conjunction with the fracturing ball to achieve the purpose of staged plugging of the wellbore. Simply put, the full-bore bridge plug is like the valve seat of a one-way valve, and the fracturing ball is like the ball of a one-way valve.
[0006] In staged fracturing operations, cable operation or continuous tubing operation is usually used, or cross operation is used. In the early stage of ball dropping operations, it was necessary to disassemble a connection port of the pressure control equipment at the wellhead, manually drop the ball, and then reconnect the port. This operation method has the following problems:
[0007] 1. Each time you pitch, you need to dismantle and install the high-voltage connection unit, such as flanges and unions;
[0008] 2. Manual throwing requires personnel to climb to the operating platform at the wellhead, and the operators are in a dangerous environment of high-altitude operation; remote operation is not possible.
[0009] After searching, it was found that the Chinese patent with application number 201620172761X disclosed an automatic ball thrower for horizontal well stratified fracturing, which solved the purpose of remote operation and continuous ball throwing. However, other equipment at the wellhead must be removed and the ball thrower must be installed at the wellhead to achieve the above function. In addition, the equipment is large in size, complex in structure, and can only accommodate a limited number of fracturing balls.
[0010] The Chinese patent application number 2013206951001 discloses a balanced mechanical ball thrower, but the patent does not solve the problem of remote operation, only continuous ball throwing. In addition, other equipment at the wellhead must be removed and the ball thrower must be installed at the wellhead to achieve the purpose of continuous ball throwing, and the number of fracturing balls that can be accommodated is limited.
[0011] The Chinese patent with application number 2013104736170 discloses a full range of large-capacity automatic ball loading digitally controlled staged fracturing ball throwers, which realizes operations similar to the automatic tool change tool holder of a machining center, and achieves the purpose of large capacity, continuous ball throwing, remote operation, and automatic ball selection (fracturing balls of any size can be thrown). However, this high-pressure pressure-bearing equipment with an integrated "automatic ball selection system" also integrates an AC digital servo motor, a programming controller and a position sensor, a chain transmission system, etc. in addition to the pressure-bearing equipment. If the electronic equipment used in this system is used in field construction sites in Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and other regions, the air is humid, which is not conducive to the stable operation of high-precision electronic equipment. In order to pursue good explosion-proof and protection requirements, it will greatly increase production costs. However, the arbitrary ball selection function pursued above is unnecessary, because the order of most ball throwing operations is to throw balls in order from small to large.

In most cases, the wellhead will not remove the blowout preventer 200 before completing the fracturing operation, so the clip-type continuous ball thrower 100 can also be used as an important component of the blowout preventer 200, and can be installed on the side of the blowout preventer 200 in the factory state, and the upper and lower ends of the blowout preventer 200 are connected in series to the main pipe column of the wellhead pressure control equipment.
