Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas reservoir completion engineering, and in particular to a ball-dropping opening and closing sliding sleeve. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two main forms of switchable sliding sleeves. One is to use a switch tool to open the sliding sleeve. If the sliding sleeve needs to be closed after the construction is completed, the switch tool is used to close it. The other is to throw a ball to open the sliding sleeve. If the sliding sleeve needs to be closed after the construction is completed, the ball seat needs to be drilled and ground first, and then the switch tool is used to close the sliding sleeve. Although the above two forms of switch sliding sleeves can realize the function of opening and closing the sliding sleeve, they have the problems of high construction cost and high construction risk due to the need to repeatedly put the switch tool or drill the ball seat. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve, which solves the problem that the existing switchable sliding sleeve needs to repeatedly lower the opening and closing tool or drill and grind the ball seat, resulting in high construction cost and great construction risk.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0005] A ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve comprises a body, an inner closing sliding sleeve and an opening sliding sleeve inserted in the body, wherein the opening sliding sleeve is arranged below the inner closing sliding sleeve; a first sandblasting hole is arranged on the side wall of the body.

[0006] The opening sliding sleeve blocks the first sandblasting hole in the initial state. After the first soluble ball is put in, the opening sliding sleeve can move downward to avoid the first sandblasting hole; the inner closing sliding sleeve moves downward to block the first sandblasting hole after the second soluble ball is put in.

[0007] Furthermore, the ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a first shear nail, which radially passes through the side wall of the main body and is inserted into the opening sliding sleeve; after the first soluble ball falls into the entrance of the opening sliding sleeve, a pressing operation is performed, and the opening sliding sleeve shears the first shear nail to release the lock on the opening sliding sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing type sliding sleeve also includes a lower joint mounted on the lower side of the main body and a first C-shaped locking ring clamped on the outer side of the opening sliding sleeve; the lower joint is provided with a first step, and a first limiting groove is formed between the first step and the lower end surface of the main body; before the opening sliding sleeve moves downward, the main body presses the first C-shaped locking ring into the groove on the outer side of the opening sliding sleeve; after the opening sliding sleeve moves downward, the first C-shaped locking ring moves down to the first limiting groove, the outer diameter of the first C-shaped locking ring becomes larger and is clamped in the first limiting groove, and the opening sliding sleeve avoids the first sandblasting hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the ball-throwing opening and closing type sliding sleeve also includes a second shear pin, which radially passes through the side wall of the main body and is inserted into the inner closing sliding sleeve; after the second soluble ball falls into the entrance of the inner closing sliding sleeve, a pressing operation is performed, and the inner closing sliding sleeve shears the second shear pin to release the lock of the inner closing sliding sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the ball-pitching opening and closing slide also includes a second C-shaped locking ring clamped on the outside of the inner closing slide; the main body presses the second C-shaped locking ring into the groove on the outside of the inner closing slide; a second limiting groove is provided on the inner side of the main body; after the inner closing slide moves downward, the second C-shaped locking ring moves downward to the second limiting groove, the outer diameter of the second C-shaped locking ring becomes larger and is clamped in the second limiting groove, and at this time the inner closing slide blocks the first sandblasting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing slide also includes an outer closing slide sleeve mounted on the main body, and a second sandblasting hole is provided on the side wall of the outer closing slide sleeve. Before the outer closing slide sleeve is started, the second sandblasting hole is connected to the first sandblasting hole.

[0012] After the second soluble ball is put in and pressurized into the pipe string, the outer closing sleeve moves downward to the second sandblasting hole and is misaligned with the first sandblasting hole to block the first sandblasting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the ball-pitching opening and closing slide sleeve also includes a control lock block, which has a locked state and an unlocked state; in the locked state, the control lock block radially passes through the main body and is inserted into the side wall of the outer closing slide sleeve, and the outer side of the opening slide sleeve abuts against the control lock block; in the unlocked state, the opening slide sleeve releases contact with the control lock block, and the control lock block can move in the direction of the opening slide sleeve until it is separated from the outer closing slide sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, a pressure transmission hole is provided on the side wall of the body, and the pressure transmission hole is arranged above the inner closing sliding sleeve. The pressure transmission hole connects the power space surrounded by the outer closing sliding sleeve and the body with the inner cavity of the body.

[0015] Furthermore, the ball-throwing opening and closing type sliding sleeve also includes a third shear pin, which radially passes through the side wall of the outer closing sliding sleeve and is then inserted into the main body; after the second soluble ball falls into the entrance of the inner closing sliding sleeve, a pressing operation is performed, and the outer closing sliding sleeve shears off the third shear pin after the pressure is transmitted through the power space. At this time, the outer closing sliding sleeve moves downward to block the first sandblasting hole, and at the same time, the outer closing sliding sleeve pushes the control locking block to move in the direction of the opening sliding sleeve, so that the control locking block enters an unlocked state.

[0016] Furthermore, the ball-pitching opening and closing slide also includes a third C-shaped locking ring clamped on the inner side of the outer closing slide, and the main body presses the third C-shaped locking ring into the groove on the inner side of the outer closing slide; a third limiting groove is arranged on the outer side of the main body; after the outer closing slide moves downward, the third C-shaped locking ring moves downward to the third limiting groove, and the inner diameter of the third C-shaped locking ring becomes smaller and is clamped in the third limiting groove.

[0017] Based on the above technical solutions, the technical effects that can be achieved by the present invention are:

[0018] The ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve provided by the present invention comprises a body, an inner closing sliding sleeve and an opening sliding sleeve inserted in the body, wherein the opening sliding sleeve is arranged below the inner closing sliding sleeve; a first sandblasting hole is arranged on the side wall of the body.

[0019] The opening sliding sleeve blocks the first sandblasting hole in the initial state. After the first soluble ball is put in, the opening sliding sleeve can move downward to avoid the first sandblasting hole; the inner closing sliding sleeve moves downward to block the first sandblasting hole after the second soluble ball is put in.

[0038] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] The existing switchable sliding sleeve requires repeated installation of switch tools or drilling and grinding of the ball seat, which has the problems of high construction cost and high construction risk.

[0040] In view of this, the present invention provides a ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve, comprising a main body 100, an inner closing sliding sleeve 200 inserted into the main body 100, and an opening sliding sleeve 300, wherein the opening sliding sleeve 300 is arranged below the inner closing sliding sleeve 200; a first sandblasting hole 110 is arranged on the side wall of the main body 100.

[0041] The opening sleeve 300 blocks the first sandblasting hole 110 in the initial state. After the first soluble ball 400 is put in, the opening sleeve 300 can move downward to avoid the first sandblasting hole 110; the inner closing sleeve 200 moves downward to block the first sandblasting hole 110 after the second soluble ball 500 is put in.

[0042] Since the ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve provided by the present invention closes the entrances of the corresponding opening sliding sleeve 300 and the inner closing sliding sleeve 200 by throwing in the first soluble ball 400 and the second soluble ball 500, and pushes the opening sliding sleeve 300 and the inner closing sliding sleeve 200 downward respectively under the action of pressure after being pressed, the first sandblasting hole 110 is opened and closed, and the opening and closing of the sliding sleeve is realized. The opening and closing of the sliding sleeve can be realized by throwing in the first soluble ball 400 and the second soluble ball 500 and pressing, without the need for operations such as drilling and grinding the ball seat and the lower sliding sleeve opening and closing tool, the construction is simple, and the construction cost and risk are reduced.

[0043] The following is combined with Figure 1-9 The structure and shape of the ball-throwing opening and closing sliding sleeve provided in this embodiment are described in detail:

[0044] The ball-casting opening and closing sliding sleeve provided in this embodiment further includes a first shear pin 600. Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the first shear nail 600 radially passes through the side wall of the main body 100 and is inserted into the opening sleeve 300, so that the main body 100 and the opening sleeve 300 are fixedly connected; the first soluble ball 400 falls into the entrance of the opening sleeve 300 and seals the entrance of the opening sleeve 300, and then a pressing operation is performed. The opening sleeve 300 cuts off the first shear nail 600 to release the lock of the opening sleeve 300, so that the opening sleeve 300 moves downward.

[0045] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a lower joint 700 sleeved on the lower side of the body 100, such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the lower side of the body 100 is provided with an external thread, the upper side of the lower joint 700 is provided with an internal thread, and the lower side of the body 100 is threadedly connected with the upper side of the lower joint 700. The lower joint 700 is provided with a second step 730, which abuts against the lower end surface of the body 100 to limit the depth of the body 100 inserted into the lower joint 700.

[0046] Furthermore, a first step 710 is provided on the lower joint 700 . The first step 710 is provided below the second step 730 and forms a first limiting groove 720 with the lower end surface of the body 100 .

[0047] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a first C-shaped locking ring 800 that is clamped on the outer side of the opening sliding sleeve 300. Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the body 100 abuts against the outer circle of the first C-shaped locking ring 800. Before the opening sliding sleeve 300 moves downward, the body 100 presses the first C-shaped locking ring 800 into the groove outside the opening sliding sleeve 300. Figure 2As shown, after the opening sleeve 300 moves downward, the opening sleeve 300 drives the first C-shaped locking ring 800 to move downward at the same time. When the first C-shaped locking ring 800 moves downward to the first limiting groove 720, the outer diameter of the first C-shaped locking ring 800 becomes larger and is clamped in the first limiting groove 720. At this time, the first C-shaped locking ring 800 is clamped in the groove outside the opening sleeve 300 and the first limiting groove 720 at the same time, so that the opening sleeve 300 remains away from the first sandblasting hole 110.

[0048] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the outer side of the opening sliding sleeve 300 , and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove to improve the sealing performance between the opening sliding sleeve 300 and the body 100 .

[0049] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a second shear nail 900, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the second shear nail 900 radially passes through the side wall of the main body 100 and is inserted into the inner closing sleeve 200, so that the main body 100 is fixedly connected with the inner closing sleeve 200; after the second soluble ball 500 falls into the entrance of the inner closing sleeve 200 and seals the entrance of the inner closing sleeve 200, a pressing operation is performed, and the inner closing sleeve 200 cuts off the second shear nail 900 to release the lock of the inner closing sleeve 200, so that the inner closing sleeve 200 moves downward.

[0050] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a second C-shaped locking ring 1000 clamped on the outer side of the inner closing sliding sleeve 200. Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the main body 100 abuts against the outer circle of the second C-shaped locking ring 1000 , and the main body 100 presses the second C-shaped locking ring 1000 into the groove on the outer side of the inner closing sliding sleeve 200 .

[0051] Furthermore, a second limiting groove 120 is provided on the inner side of the body 100. Figure 3 As shown, after the inner closing sleeve 200 moves downward, the inner closing sleeve 200 drives the second C-shaped locking ring 1000 to move downward at the same time. When the second C-shaped locking ring 1000 moves downward to the second limiting groove 120, the outer diameter of the second C-shaped locking ring 1000 becomes larger and is clamped in the second limiting groove 120. At this time, the second C-shaped locking ring 1000 is clamped in the groove on the outer side of the inner closing sleeve 200 and in the second limiting groove 120 at the same time, so that the inner closing sleeve 200 maintains the position of blocking the first sandblasting hole 110.

[0052] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the outer side of the inner closing sliding sleeve 200 , and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove to improve the sealing performance between the inner closing sliding sleeve 200 and the body 100 .

[0053] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes an outer closing sliding sleeve 1100 sleeved on the main body 100, such as Figure 1 , 6As shown in , 7 , a third step 150 is provided on the main body 100 , and the upper end surface of the outer closing sliding sleeve 1100 abuts against the third step 150 .

[0054] Furthermore, a fourth step 160 is provided on the main body 100, and the fourth step 160 is provided below the third step 150. A fifth step 1120 is provided on the outer closing sleeve 1100. The inner side of the outer closing sleeve 1100, the outer side of the main body 100, the fourth step 160 and the fifth step 1120 form an annular power space.

[0055] Furthermore, a pressure transmission hole 130 is provided on the side wall of the body 100. Figure 1 The pressure transmission hole 130 is arranged above the inner closing sleeve 200 and connects the power space with the inner cavity of the body 100, so that the pressure of the inner cavity of the body 100 is transmitted to the power space.

[0056] Furthermore, the side wall of the outer closing sleeve 1100 is provided with a second sandblasting hole 1110, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIG. 3 , before the outer closing sleeve 1100 is started, the second sandblasting hole 1110 is connected to the first sandblasting hole 110 .

[0057] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a control lock block 1300, such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown, the body 100 is provided with a locking block hole 170, and the control locking block 1300 passes through the locking block hole 170; Figure 7 As shown, a limit ring 1130 is provided on the inner side of the outer closing sleeve 1100. Figure 1 As shown, before the opening sleeve 300 is started, the control lock block 1300 radially passes through the lock block hole 170 and is inserted into the limit ring 1130, and the outer side of the opening sleeve 300 abuts against the control lock block 1300 to limit the movement of the control lock block 1300, thereby preventing the outer closing sleeve 1100 from being accidentally started due to the pressure in the inner cavity of the main body 100 when the opening sleeve 300 is opened through the restriction of the control lock block 1300.

[0058] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, a control groove 310 is provided on the outer side of the opening sleeve 300. After the opening sleeve 300 moves downward to open, the control groove 310 moves downward to put the control lock block 1300 in an unlocked state. At this time, the control lock block 1300 abuts against one side of the opening sleeve 300 and points to the inside of the control groove 310 and does not contact the outer side of the opening sleeve 300. At this time, the outer closing sleeve 1100 is activated and can move downward to block the first sandblasting hole 110.

[0059] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a third shear nail 1200, such as Figure 1 ,4 As shown, the third shear nail 1200 radially passes through the side wall of the outer closing sleeve 1100 and is inserted into the main body 100, so that the outer closing sleeve 1100 and the main body 100 are fixedly connected; after the second soluble ball 500 falls into the entrance of the inner closing sleeve 200 and seals the entrance of the inner closing sleeve 200, a pressing operation is performed, and the pressure of the inner cavity of the main body 100 enters the power space through the pressure transmission hole 130, pushing the outer closing sleeve 1100 to cut off the third shear nail 1200, releasing the lock on the outer closing sleeve 1100, and moving the outer closing sleeve 1100 downward, the second sandblasting hole 1110 is offset from the first sandblasting hole 110 to block the first sandblasting hole 110, and at the same time, in the process of the outer closing sleeve 1100 moving downward, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the outer closing sliding sleeve 1100 pushes the control locking block 1300 to move into the control groove 310 , so that the control locking block 1300 is separated from the outer closing sliding sleeve 1100 .

[0060] Furthermore, the pitching opening and closing sliding sleeve also includes a third C-shaped locking ring 1400 which is clamped on the inner side of the outer closing sliding sleeve 1100. Figure 1 As shown, the outer side of the main body 100 abuts against the inner circle of the third C-shaped locking ring 1400 , and the main body 100 presses the third C-shaped locking ring 1400 into the groove on the inner side of the outer closing sliding sleeve 1100 .

[0061] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, a third limiting groove 140 is provided on the outer side of the body 100; Figure 4 , 5 As shown, after the outer closing sleeve 1100 moves downward, the outer closing sleeve 1100 drives the third C-shaped locking ring 1400 to move downward at the same time. When the third C-shaped locking ring 1400 moves downward to the third limiting groove 140, the inner diameter of the third C-shaped locking ring 1400 becomes smaller and is clamped in the third limiting groove 140. At this time, the third C-shaped locking ring 1400 simultaneously unlocks the groove on the inner side of the outer closing sleeve 1100 and the third limiting groove 140, so that the outer closing sleeve 1100 maintains the position of blocking the first sandblasting hole 110.

[0062] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the inner side of the outer closing sleeve 1100 , and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove to improve the sealing performance between the outer closing sleeve 1100 and the body 100 .

[0063] The working process of the ball-casting opening and closing sliding sleeve provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0064] The first soluble ball 400 is put into the opening sleeve 300, and after the first soluble ball 400 falls into the entrance of the opening sleeve 300 and closes the entrance of the opening sleeve 300, a pressing operation is performed. The opening sleeve 300 cuts off the first shear nail 600 under the action of pressure, and the opening sleeve 300 and the first soluble ball 400 fall to the first step 710. At the same time, the first limiting lock ring is clamped in the first limiting groove 720 to fix the position of the opening sleeve 300. At this time, the opening sleeve 300 avoids the first sandblasting hole 110, so that the sleeve is opened.

[0065] When it is necessary to close the sleeve, a second soluble ball 500 is put in. The diameter of the second soluble ball 500 is larger than that of the first soluble ball 400. After the second soluble ball 500 falls into the entrance of the inner closing sleeve 200 and seals the entrance of the inner closing sleeve 200, a pressing operation is performed. The inner closing sleeve 200 cuts off the second shear pin 900 under pressure, and the inner closing sleeve 200 and the second soluble ball 500 move downward. When the second C-type locking ring 1000 moves downward to the second limiting groove 120 with the inner closing sleeve 200, the second C-type locking ring 1000 returns to its original state and is engaged with the second limiting groove 120 to lock the position of the inner closing sleeve 200. At this time, the inner closing sleeve 200 blocks the first sandblasting hole 110 to achieve the closure of the sleeve.

[0066] At the same time, since the control lock block 1300 is in an unlocked state after the opening sleeve 300 moves downward, when the second soluble ball 500 is put into the closing sleeve, the pressure in the inner cavity of the body 100 can enter the power space through the pressure transmission hole 130 and push the outer closing sleeve 1100 to cut the third shear nail 1200 and push the outer closing sleeve 1100 to move downward, so that the second sandblasting hole 1110 is misaligned with the first sandblasting hole 110, the first sandblasting hole 110 is blocked, and the sleeve is closed. After the outer closing sleeve 1100 moves downward, the third C-shaped lock ring 1400 is clamped in the third limiting groove 140, locking the position of the outer closing sleeve 1100, so that the sleeve remains in a closed state.

[0067] When the second soluble ball 500 is put into the closing sleeve, both the inner closing sleeve 200 and the outer closing sleeve 1100 may be activated. Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the inner closing sleeve 200 is started alone, the outer closing sleeve 1100 is started alone, and the inner closing sleeve 200 and the outer closing sleeve 1100 are started simultaneously, so that when the inner closing sleeve 200 or the outer closing sleeve 1100 fails, the other one can still close the sleeve, thereby achieving double protection of the closing sleeve and improving the reliability of the closing sleeve.
