When it is downward, it is emptied through the exhaust hole 22-2 on the cylinder barrel 22, and the piston rod 24, the auxiliary connecting rod 26 and the plugging tool are driven to descend to the sealing position in turn. When sealing, hydraulic pressure is injected through the hydraulic hole 26-1 on the auxiliary connecting rod 26 to complete the sealing of the plugging tool. After sealing, the pressure can be released through the pressure release hole 26-2 on the auxiliary connecting rod 26 and the pressure release hole 27-1 of the blowout preventer box 27, and the sealing performance of the plugging tool is tested.
[0044] The third aspect of the present application provides an auxiliary hydraulic unsealing tool, which is used to unseal the hydraulic seat wellhead plugging tool of the above embodiment, referring to Figure 3The unsealing tool of the present application comprises a cylinder barrel 32, a limiting sleeve 35, an auxiliary connecting rod 36 and a blowout prevention box 37 connected in sequence.

When the tool is started, even if the unsealing rod moves upward, hydraulic pressure can be injected through the drain hole 32-2 on the cylinder barrel 32 to push the sliding sealing head 33 upward along the cylinder barrel 32, and in turn drive the piston cylinder 34 and the auxiliary connecting rod 36 upward to complete the unsealing action. After the tool reaches the blowout preventer box 37, the wellhead valve is closed, and the pressure is released through the pressure relief hole 36-2 on the auxiliary connecting rod 36 and the pressure relief hole 37-1 of the blowout preventer box 37 to ensure construction safety.
[0047] The present application is based on the inventive concept of hydraulic action, and designs a hydraulic wellhead sealing tool, an auxiliary hydraulic sealing tool, and an auxiliary hydraulic unsealing tool.

[0048] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects and advantages:
[0049] The present invention is lowered into the well by the thrust of the hydraulic piston rod and seals the well by the hydraulic action. The hydraulic pressure is continuously maintained in the cavity of the sealing tool to ensure the sealing state. After the sealing is completed, the well pressure can also produce an auxiliary sealing effect. After the operation is completed, the pressure-maintaining device is opened by the hydraulic pushing of the sealing rod to relieve the pressure and seal, thereby ensuring that the wellhead sealing tool can achieve the purpose of sealing tightly, holding the well and being taken out, so that the entire construction process is controllable and the construction is safe and reliable.
