Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas well cementing and completion, and in particular to a double-anchor double-isolation tieback system for a staged fracturing pipe string. Background Art
[0002] Many tight oil and gas reservoirs in China are low-porosity, low-permeability gas reservoirs, highly heterogeneous and micro-fracture-developed reservoirs. Some oil and gas layers have the characteristics of multiple layers superimposed in the vertical direction, accompanied by bottom water, complex gas-water relationship, and thin reservoir barrier layer. As a result, when fracturing is used to transform the reservoir, artificial fractures are easy to penetrate the bottom cap layer and communicate with the bottom water, resulting in serious water discharge during production, which is easy to cause the whole wellbore of the horizontal well to be flooded, affecting the production capacity of a single well. In addition, there is also the problem that the horizontal well has been drilled, but the wellbore conditions do not meet the requirements for the entry of the open hole completion string, or the reservoir properties do not meet the technical requirements for the open hole completion transformation. In response to such mining problems, the method of perforating the reservoir transformation after the tail pipe cementing is generally adopted. However, the conventional tail pipe back connection has no anchoring device, and the sealing capacity is generally 25MPa, which cannot solve the uplift force generated by the fracturing construction on the back connection fracturing string and the high-pressure construction sealing requirements, and there are great risks in the construction process. Chinese patent publication number CN109899047A discloses a tieback fracturing method and an anchored removable tieback fracturing wellbore. The specific method is as follows: (1) connect the upper end of the liner hanger with the lower end of the sealing box, connect the upper end of the sealing box with the lower end of the tieback tube, and then lower them into the well; (2) use the liner hanger to cement the well. After the cement solidifies, connect the tieback plug with the tieback casing string, and lower the tieback plug downward to a set position; (3) press down the tieback casing string to insert the tieback plug into the tieback tube, and lock the upper pipe string with the lower liner hanger; (4) perform a wellhead pressure test and stabilize the pressure for a period of time. If there is no pressure drop and the tieback casing string does not rise, it means that the locking and sealing are normal; (5) start the fracturing operation; (6) after the fracturing operation is completed, lift the forward rotation tieback casing string, the tieback plug is separated from the tieback tube, lift the tieback casing string to remove the tieback plug, and the fracturing operation is completed. Although the structure is the same, this tool is prone to blockage during use and cannot be used for normal release operations, making it impossible to retrieve the tieback plug, and when the tieback plug is in an invalid anchoring state, it affects subsequent operations. At present, some blocks use a packer tail pipe hanger containing a tieback tube, hydraulic anchor, intubation packer and casing to the pressure wellbore at the wellhead, but the structure of the tieback pipe string is complex, and there are potential risks such as premature hanging, annular isolation failure and short casing bending and deformation. Summary of the invention

The slip tooth 22 is sleeved on the outside of the lower end pipe column 18, and the upper inner surface of the slip tooth 22 is provided with an inverted cone matching surface that matches the conical pressure head 21; the slip seat 23 is located on the outer wall of the lower end pipe column 18, the lower end of the slip tooth 22 matches the upper conical surface of the slip seat 23, and the upper inner surface of the slip tooth 22 matches the conical pressure head 21 through the inverted cone matching surface. The slip tooth 22 can be opened to play an anchoring role under the pressure of the conical pressure head 21. Moreover, since the upper and lower ends of the slip tooth 22 are respectively provided with cone matching, it can be ensured that after pressure is applied to the slip tooth 22, its upper and lower ends can expand outward at the same time, thereby better playing the role of anchoring.
[0068] The upper end of the second tie-back plug 15 is connected to the lower end of the lower pipe column 18, and the lower end of the second tie-back plug 15 is also anchored and connected to another tie-back tube. In this way, after the fracturing is completed, the first tie-back plug 11 and the hanger tie-back tube can be released by lifting and rotating forward, and the upper tie-back casing can be recycled and reused, saving costs. However, when the first tie-back plug 11 and the tie-back tube 12 are blocked and the release function cannot be realized, the standby release function can be realized by lifting and rotating the second tie-back plug 15 forward to prevent accidents.
[0069] In addition, the first return plug and the second return plug both include an upper joint 1, an inverted bearing sleeve 5, a joint body 9 and a horseshoe guide head 10 which are threadedly connected in sequence from top to bottom. The locking cava 4 is sleeved on the inverted bearing sleeve 5. The inner wall of the lower end of the upper joint 1 is provided with an upper limit step 7 for preventing the locking cava 4 from moving axially upward. The outer wall of the inverted bearing sleeve 5 is provided with a lower limit step 19 for preventing the locking cava 4 from moving axially downward. The two ends of the locking cava 4 are located between the upper limit step 7 and the lower limit step 19. In this way, the locking cava 4 can be limited to move in the axial direction to prevent displacement when the pipe string is pressed down and fail to play an anchoring role.
[0070] A ridge 20 is provided on the outer wall of the inverted bearing sleeve 5 for preventing the locking slip 4 from circumferential rotation. The ridge 20 is located in the locking groove 8 of the locking slip 4. After the fracturing is completed, the pipe string can be lifted up and rotated back to achieve release. The ridge 20 can prevent the locking slip 4 from circumferential motion, thereby ensuring smooth release.
[0071] A plurality of sets of sealing vulcanized base rings 6 are provided on the outer wall of the lower part of the inverted bearing sleeve 5; a plurality of sets of sealing vulcanized base rings 6 are also provided on the lower part of the joint body 9; after the first return plug 11 is inserted into the return tube 12, the sealing vulcanized base rings 6 on the inverted bearing sleeve 5 and the sealing vulcanized base rings 6 on the joint body 9 are respectively fitted with the inner wall of the return tube 12.
[0072] Each set of sealing vulcanized base rings 6 includes a base ring body 17 and at least two rubber sealing rings 16; the rubber sealing rings 16 are vulcanized on the outer walls at both ends of the base ring body 17; O-rings 2 are provided between the outer wall of the inverted bearing sleeve 5 and the inner wall of the sealing vulcanized base ring 6, and between the outer wall of the joint body 9 and the inner wall of the sealing vulcanized base ring 6. Each set of sealing vulcanized base rings 6 is annularly sealed by vulcanizing two rubber sealing rings 16 on the outer circle of a base ring body 17. This sealing form has a higher sealing pressure than the conventional V-ring sealing form, can withstand a pressure of 70MPa, and is not easy to damage. After repeatedly plugging and unplugging the reconnection tube 12, it can still be used. The gap between the inverted bearing sleeve 5, the joint body 9 and the sealing vulcanized base ring 6 is sealed by the provided O-ring 2.
[0073] The anti-retraction slip 13 and the packer 14 can anchor it on the inner wall of the casing. The anti-retraction slip 13 and the packer 14 have a backup isolation function. If the second back-connection plug 15 passes the pressure test after anchoring, the packer 14 will not be expanded and sealed, and the upper and lower back-connection tubes can be released after fracturing; if the lower second back-connection plug 15 fails the pressure test after anchoring, it will continue to press down. Since the upper and lower ends of the slip teeth 22 are respectively provided with conical surfaces, it can be ensured that after pressure is applied to the slip teeth 22, its upper and lower ends can expand outward at the same time, so as to better play the role of anchoring. At this time, the packer 14 is expanded and sealed, and the backup isolation function is activated to achieve the purpose of fracturing. Therefore, it has double anchoring and double isolation functions.
[0074] The locking slip 4 is evenly milled with 8 grooves with a width of 8-11 mm along the circumferential direction to form 8 simply supported beam structures. The self-locking female buckle is a tapered tooth buckle. Under the action of external force, the simply supported beam structure of the locking slip 4 will be inserted into the corresponding tapered tooth buckle of the tie-back tube 12 to lock the upper pipe string with the lower liner hanger. At this time, the sealing vulcanized base ring 6 fits with the inner wall of the tie-back tube 12 to form a seal.
[0075] An O-ring 2 and a set screw 3 are provided at the connection between the upper joint 1 and the inverted bearing sleeve 5 above the locking slip 4, and an O-ring 2 and a set screw 3 are provided at the connection between the inverted bearing sleeve 5 and the joint body 9; a set screw 3 is provided at the connection between the joint body 9 and the horseshoe guide head 10.
[0076] Combined with the attached drawings, the working principle of the double anchor double packer tieback system of the staged fracturing string is introduced as follows: the on-site tail pipe hanger is hung, checked, slurry is replaced, and the central pipe is taken out. After the cement solidifies, the tail pipe tieback perforation fracturing is carried out. First, the double anchor double packer tieback system of the staged fracturing string is connected to the casing string, and after it is lowered to the designed position, the pipe string is pressed down by 5t. The simply supported beam structure of the locking slip 4 will be inserted into the corresponding tapered tooth buckle of the tieback tube 12 under the action of external force, and the upper pipe string and the lower tail pipe hanger are locked. At this time, the sealing vulcanized base ring 6 fits with the inner wall of the tieback tube 12 to form a seal.
[0077] At this time, a wellhead pressure test of 35MPa is carried out, and the pressure is stabilized for 1 hour. There is no pressure drop and the return pipe string does not move upward, indicating that the locking and sealing are normal. Since the return casing, the hanger and the plug can have the same inner diameter, a large diameter and high pressure bearing wellbore is provided, which is convenient for the subsequent fracturing operation. After the fracturing operation is completed, since the locking thread between the locking cava 4 and the return tube is a reverse thread connection, it is necessary to lift the forward pipe string, so that the first return plug 11 and the second return plug 15 can be separated from the return tube 12, with a spare release function. The return plug can be taken out by lifting the pipe string, and the fracturing operation is completed. If the first return plug 11 is blocked and the release function cannot be completed, the second return plug 15 can be used to complete the release, which is more flexible in operation and has good reliability.
[0078] If the wellhead pressure test at 35MPa fails, continue to press the tubing string down to 30t, expand and seal the packer, and perform another wellhead pressure test at 35MPa. Keep the pressure steady for 1 hour. If there is no pressure drop and the tie-back pipe string does not rise, it means that the locking and sealing are normal. After the fracturing operation is completed, lift the forward pipe string in the same way, take out the tie-back plug, and the fracturing operation is completed.
[0079] The present invention sets a self-locking thread matched with the tie-back anchor plug on the top of the hanger tie-back tube, and at the same time, the tie-back plug is provided with a locking slip 4 matched with the tie-back tube 12, and the locking slip 4 can be inserted into the tie-back tube 12 by pressing down to realize the anchoring of the tie-back pipe string; the tie-back plug adopts a sealing form of a sealing base ring to ensure that the sealing capacity in the tie-back tube 12 reaches 70MPa, which can not only ensure the simple structure of the tie-back pipe string and avoid the cumulative risk caused by too many units, but also realize the high-pressure sealing requirement in the tie-back wellbore, and after the fracturing is completed, the tie-back plug and the hanger tie-back tube can be released by lifting and rotating forward, so that the upper tie-back casing can be recycled and reused, saving costs; at the same time, the present invention has spare release and spare isolation functions. If the pressure test after the lower tie-back plug is anchored is qualified, the packer will not be expanded and sealed, and both the upper and lower tie-back tubes can be released after fracturing; if the pressure test after the lower tie-back plug is anchored is unqualified, the packer will be expanded and sealed, and the spare isolation function will be activated to achieve the purpose of fracturing.
[0080] The traditional horizontal well tail pipe tie-back fracturing process has a complex pipe string structure, many tools during tie-back, complex operation, high risk, and high cost, which does not conform to the current concept of low-cost mining. Therefore, the present invention solves the technical problems of complex structure of the tie-back pipe string after tail pipe cementing, poor sealing and reliability through the integrated design of cementing and completion tools; a double anchoring design is adopted to realize the standby release and standby isolation functions. After the tail pipe cementing tie-back is realized, a high-pressure wellbore is formed with the tie-back pipe string and the tail pipe string sealed and anchored in an integrated manner. At the same time, the tie-back pipe string can be recycled and reused after fracturing, which improves resource utilization and saves costs; the tie-back pipe string has a simple structure, with only a tie-back plug and a casing string, which can ensure the full diameter of the tie-back pipe string and the tail pipe string, meet the large diameter requirements of subsequent production, and have good economic and social benefits.
[0081] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The changed contents still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
