[0065] The center rod 5 is provided with a bias cable passage 510 and an eccentric oil channel 504; the bias cable passage 510 is in the shape of a long rectangular or circular hole, the entrance of the bias cable passage 510 is located on the upper end surface of the center rod 5, the exit of the bias cable passage 510 is located on the lower side wall of the center rod 5, and the bias cable passage 510 is provided with a through packer cable assembly 4, which comprises an upper cable assembly joint 401, a through packer cable 402 and a lower cable assembly joint 403; the upper cable assembly joint 401 is located in the cable sealing connector 2 and connected with the cable transition lower joint 303; the through packer cable 402 extends out of the exit of the bias cable passage 510 after passing through the bias cable passage 510; and the lower cable assembly joint 403 is electrically connected with the electric submersible pump 12, forming a current transmission channel.

[0066] The upper end surface of the center rod 5 is provided with a sealing assembly in the center for limiting the first rubber sleeve 503 of the through packer cable 402; the sealing assembly comprises a cylindrical groove located in the center of the upper end surface of the center rod 5, an annular compression cap 501 threadedly connected with the cylindrical groove, and a two-piece disc-type compression plate 502 located between the lower end of the annular compression cap 501 and the bottom surface of the cylindrical groove.

[0067] The side wall of the center rod 5 is provided with a side opening 505 above the anti-top slip body assembly 6, which is communicated with the eccentric oil channel 504, and the exit of the eccentric oil channel 504 is located on the lower end surface of the center rod 5.

[0068] The anti-top-kick body assembly 6 is used to cooperate with the taper section of the upper taper sleeve 8 to prevent the over-cable packer from moving upward due to the upward top of the pressure in the well. The anti-top-kick body assembly 6 includes an anti-top-kick body 601, a fixing screw, a first tongue-shaped compression spring 603, and an anti-top-kick 604. The anti-top-kick body 601 is threadedly connected with the central rod 5. The upper end of the first tongue-shaped compression spring 603 is fixed on the anti-top-kick body 601 by the first fixing screw 602. The lower end of the first tongue-shaped compression spring 603 presses the upper end of the anti-top-kick 604. The taper section of the upper taper sleeve 8 extends into the lower end of the anti-top-kick 604. Four circumferentially distributed push-away springs 7 are arranged between the upper taper sleeve 8 and the anti-top-kick body 601. The upper end of each push-away spring 7 is located in the first seating hole 605 on the anti-top-kick body 601, and the lower end is located in the second seating hole 801 on the upper taper sleeve 8.

[0070] The straightening friction slip assembly 11 is used to cooperate with the cone section of the lower cone sleeve 10 to prevent the cable packer from falling. The straightening friction slip assembly 11 includes an anti-falling slip body 1109, a slip anti-slip ring 1110, five anti-falling components, five friction components, a protective cap 1107, a guide pin spacer 1106 and two guide pins 1108; the anti-falling slip body 1109 is connected to the center rod 5 by a threaded connection, and a slip anti-slip ring 1110 and five anti-falling components are set on the upper end of the anti-falling slip body 1109; each of the anti-falling components includes a second tongue-shaped compression spring 1102 and an anti-falling slip 1101, and the lower end of the second tongue-shaped compression spring 1102 is fixed by a second fixing screw 1103 The second tongue-shaped compression spring 1102 is fixed on the upper end of the anti-falling slip body 1109 and is located in the slip anti-slip ring 1110. The upper end of the second tongue-shaped compression spring 1102 presses the lower end of the anti-falling slip 1101. Five friction components are provided in the middle of the outer wall of the anti-falling slip body 1109. Each friction component includes a mounting groove 1111 provided on the outer wall of the anti-falling slip body 1109, a bow spring 1105 provided in the mounting groove 1111, and a spring located outside the bow spring 1105 and in contact with the mounting groove 1111. The friction block 1104 is clamped at the edge of the groove 1111, and the bow spring 1105 is used to apply a force away from the axis to the friction block 1104, so that the outer surface of the friction block 1104 is pressed against the inner wall of the sleeve 13; a cavity is formed between the lower end of the anti-fall cava body 1109 and the inner wall of the protective cap 1107, and a guide pin spacer 1106 is arranged in the cavity. The guide pin spacer 1106 can be axially rotated in the cavity, and two guide pins 1108 are arranged on the inner wall of the guide pin spacer 1106.

[0071] The cone section of the lower cone sleeve 10 extends into the upper end of the anti-fall cava 1101, and the lower cone sleeve 10 includes a positioning ring 1001 sleeved on the center rod 5 and an annular cone 1002 connected to the outside of the positioning ring 1001; a first cavity 1003 is formed between the positioning ring 1001, the annular cone 1002 and the center rod 5; an annular protrusion 506 is provided on the center rod 5, and the annular protrusion 506 can move axially in the first cavity 1003.

[0072] The side wall of the center rod 5 is provided with two long guide grooves 507 evenly distributed around the circumference and two short guide grooves 508 evenly distributed around the circumference. The two long guide grooves 507 and the two short guide grooves 508 are all arranged axially, and the lower ends are connected through a reversing guide groove 509. The top height of the two long guide grooves 507 is higher than the top height of the two short guide grooves 508; the guide pin 1108 realizes the axial movement of the straightening friction slip body assembly 11 through the two long guide grooves 507 and the two short guide grooves 508, and realizes the switching between the two long guide grooves 507 and the two short guide grooves 508 through the reversing guide groove 509.

[0073] When the guide pin 1108 is at the top end of the short guide rail groove 508, the axial upward position of the straightening friction cava body assembly 11 relative to the center rod 5 is limited, the lower cone sleeve 10 cannot contact the cava teeth of the anti-fall cava 1101, the anti-fall cava 1101 is in a contracted state, and the rubber sleeve assembly 9 is in an uncompressed state.

[0074] When the guide pin 1108 is in the long guide rail groove 507, the center rod 5 can move downward relative to the straightening friction cava body assembly 11. When the lower cone sleeve 10 contacts the cava teeth of the anti-fall cava 1101, the guide pin 1108 has not reached the top of the long guide rail groove 507. Therefore, the center rod 5 drives the rubber sleeve assembly 9 and the lower cone sleeve 10 to move further downward. The lower cone sleeve 10 moves downward to open the anti-fall cava 1101 and tighten the inner wall of the sleeve 13. At the same time, the lower cone sleeve 10 moves upward along the center rod 5 under the reverse push of the straightening friction cava body assembly 11 and compresses the rubber sleeve assembly 9. The rubber sleeve assembly 9 expands outward under pressure, sealing the annular cavity between the rubber sleeve assembly 9 and the sleeve 13, and separating the rubber sleeve assembly 9. The annular cavity between the upper and lower center rods 5 and the casing 13; at the same time, the rubber sleeve assembly 9 and the upper cone sleeve 8 also move upward, and the upper cone sleeve 8 overcomes the thrust of the push-off spring 7, causing the anti-top-up slips 604 to press against the inner wall of the casing 13. At this time, the downward movement of the center rod 5 relative to the righting friction slip assembly 11 is achieved by the weight of the cable packer and the electric submersible pump 12. The pressure of the anti-top-up slips 604 and the anti-fall slips 1101 against the inner wall of the casing 13 is limited.

[0075] The present invention discloses a construction method of a cable packer using the cable lifting and releasing bidirectional clamping and sealing method, comprising the following steps:

[0076] Step 1: On the surface, sequentially connect the electric submersible pump 12 to the center rod 5, the upper connector 401 of the cable assembly to the lower cable transition connector 303, the upper cable transition connector 301 to the lower end of the lifting and releasing cable 1, and the center rod 5 to the cable sealing sleeve 2. The electric submersible pump 12 and the cable packer form a tool string.

[0077] Step 2: Lift the whole formed in step 1 and place it into the well;

[0078] Step 3: When lowering and lowering the cable 1 and passing through the cable packer into the wellhead casing 13, ensure that the guide pin 1108 in the righting friction slip assembly 11 is located in the short guide rail groove 508, the falling slip 1101 is in a retracted state, and the anti-top slip 604 is not in contact with the upper cone sleeve 8 under the elastic force of the push-off spring 7, so as to avoid the cable packer slip from being accidentally seated during the wellbore entry process;

[0079] Step 4: Continue lowering the lifting cable 1 and the tool string to the preset working position;

[0080] Step 5, the lifting and lowering cable 1 is lifted and lowered according to the preset distance requirement, the guide pin 1108 is changed from the short guide rail groove 508 into the long guide rail groove 507, the lifting and lowering cable is continuously lowered, the lower cone sleeve 10 moves downward to make the anti-falling slip 1101 open and tightly abut against the inner wall of the casing 13, and the middle sealing rubber sleeve 903 is pressed to expand outward, so as to seal the annular cavity between the middle sealing rubber sleeve 903 and the casing 13, and separate the annular cavity between the upper and lower central rods 5 of the rubber sleeve assembly 9 and the casing 13;

[0081] Step 6, since the weight of the through-cable packer and the electric submersible pump 12 is limited, and the lifting and lowering cable 1 cannot exert downward pressure, water needs to be injected into the casing 13. The injected water enters the electric submersible pump 12 through the eccentric oil and water channel 504 from the side opening 505, and the one-way valve in the electric submersible pump 12 prevents water from entering the casing 13. Continuous water injection can make the casing 13 full of water;

[0082] Step 7, water injection and pressure test are performed on the casing 13 from the upper part of the wellhead, so that the central rod 5 continues to move downward, and the opposite, the central rod 5 is pushed upward by the centralizing friction slipper body assembly 11 and the water in the casing 13, and the side sealing rubber sleeve 901 and the middle sealing rubber sleeve 903 are further pressed to expand outward, while the upper cone sleeve 8 is pushed upward to make the anti-top slipper 604 expand outward and tightly abut against the inner wall of the casing 13, so as to prevent the tool string from moving upward under the pressure of the well bottom;

[0083] Step 8, the tool string is subjected to a pre-set working pressure test, and the tool string needs to meet the pre-set working pressure without moving;

[0084] Step 9, after the setting is completed, the wellhead lifting and lowering cable 1 is cut and the wellhead is positioned;

[0085] Step 10, check the electric submersible pump 12 during operation or after operation, and then lift the lifting and lowering cable to release the slip;

[0086] The specific process is as follows: the lifting and lowering cable 1 is lifted, the central rod 5 drives the anti-top slipper body assembly 6 to move upward, the anti-top slipper 604 moves away from the upper cone sleeve 8, and the anti-top slipper 604 contracts to release the slip; the central rod 5 continues to move upward, the side sealing rubber sleeve 901 and the middle sealing rubber sleeve 903 rebound to contract and release the seal, the annular cavity between the upper and lower central rods 5 of the rubber sleeve assembly 9 and the casing 13 is communicated, and the tool string is balanced in pressure; the central rod 5 continues to move upward, the lower cone sleeve 10 is separated from the anti-falling slip 1101, the anti-falling slip 1101 contracts to release the slip, the through-cable packer is released, and the lifting and lowering cable 1 is continuously lifted, so that the through-cable packer and the electric submersible pump 12 are lifted out of the casing 13.

For those skilled in the art, the specific technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalent features, and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions protected by the present application.
