DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not an exhaustive enumeration of all embodiments. And in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] Figure 1 An electrically controlled cluster sleeve opened by a pressure signal according to the present application is schematically shown, including an electrically controlled delay toe sleeve 100, an electrically controlled cluster sleeve 300 and an electrically controlled segmented sleeve 200. The electrically controlled delay toe sleeve 100 opens a fracturing hole 112 according to the pressure applied at the wellhead, the electrically controlled cluster sleeve 300 has the same structure as the electrically controlled delay toe sleeve 100, and the pressure required to open the fracturing hole 112 is different.

[0039] The electrically controlled segmented sleeve 200 opens a ball catcher 240 according to the pressure applied at the wellhead, and the fracturing hole is opened after a soluble fracturing ball 250 is put into the ball catcher 240.

[0040] Among them, the electrically controlled delay toe sleeve 100 is arranged at the lowermost end, and above it is divided into several segments by several electrically controlled segmented sleeves 200, and one or more electrically controlled cluster sleeves 300 are arranged in each segment.

[0041] In one embodiment, the pressure required for the electrically controlled delay toe sleeve 100 to open the fracturing hole 112 is the same as the pressure required for the electrically controlled segmented sleeve 200 at the lowermost end to open the ball catcher 240; the pressure required for all electrically controlled cluster sleeves 300 in each segment to open the fracturing hole 112 is the same as the pressure required for the electrically controlled segmented sleeve 200 at the upper end of the segment to open the ball catcher 240.

[0042] When the electrically controlled cluster fracturing sliding sleeve is opened by the pressure signal according to the embodiment, the opening pressure signal of each section is different. When the sliding sleeve needs to be opened, a pressure signal is applied through the wellhead, the electrically controlled delay toe sliding sleeve 100 opens the fracturing hole 112 to start fracturing operation, and the ball catcher 240 of the lowermost electrically controlled segmented fracturing sliding sleeve 200 is opened. When the fracturing operation of the section is completed, the soluble fracturing ball 250 is put in, the soluble fracturing ball 250 is connected with the ball catcher 240 and the fracturing hole 112 of the electrically controlled segmented fracturing sliding sleeve 200 is opened. After a pressure signal is applied through the wellhead, the electrically controlled cluster fracturing sliding sleeve 300 of the section opens the fracturing hole 112 to start fracturing operation, and the ball catcher 240 of the uppermost electrically controlled segmented fracturing sliding sleeve 200 of the section is opened. When the fracturing operation of the section is completed, the soluble fracturing ball 250 is put in again, the soluble fracturing ball 250 is connected with the ball catcher 240 and the fracturing hole 112 of the electrically controlled segmented fracturing sliding sleeve 200 is opened. The pressure signal of the wellhead is changed again to complete the fracturing operation of each section in turn.

[0043] In one embodiment, the electrically controlled delay toe sliding sleeve 100 comprises a first sliding sleeve body 110, which is in a cylindrical structure, and is provided with an upper joint at the upper end and a fracturing hole 112 on the side wall of the upper part. A first inner sleeve 120 is arranged in the inside of the first sliding sleeve body 110, and a first electrically controlled short section 130 is arranged below the first sliding sleeve body 110. The first electrically controlled short section 130 can detect the pressure in the well at the electrically controlled delay toe sliding sleeve 100 and act in comparison with the set pressure.

[0044] The first inner sleeve 120 blocks the fracturing hole 112 in the initial state, and when the pressure applied through the wellhead matches the pressure set by the first electrically controlled short section 130, the first inner sleeve 120 slides downward and opens the fracturing hole 112.

[0045] In the embodiment, a pressure waveform is preferably set in the first electrically controlled short section 130, which contains pressure amplitude, width and number. These parameters are compared with the pressure applied through the wellhead, and if they match, the fracturing hole 112 is opened.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a first annular hydraulic cavity 121 is arranged between the first sliding sleeve body 110 and the first inner sleeve 120, a first annular cavity 131 is arranged in the first electrically controlled short section 130, and a pressure sensing unit 134 and a first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 are arranged in the first annular cavity. In the embodiment, the pressure sensing unit 134 detects the pressure applied through the wellhead and compares it with the set pressure waveform, and the electromagnetic hydraulic lock can lock or unlock the first inner sleeve 120 to fix or move it.

[0047] The pressure in the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 blocks the first inner sleeve 120 from moving, and the first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 locks the pressure in the first annular hydraulic cavity 121, and the pressure sensing unit 134 detects and calculates whether the pressure applied at the wellhead reaches the set value, and when the set value is reached, the first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 unlocks the pressure in the first annular hydraulic cavity 121.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first annular cavity 131 and the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 are connected through a first small hole 132, and the pressure sensing unit 134 extends into the first small hole 132 and detects the pressure in the first small hole 132 and the first annular hydraulic cavity 121, thereby calculating the pressure applied at the wellhead and comparing it with the set pressure.

[0049] The pressure applied at the wellhead acts on the first inner sleeve 120, thereby reflecting into the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 and the first small hole 132, and the pressure sensing unit 134 detects the pressure in the first small hole 132 to calculate the pressure applied at the wellhead.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the first annular cavity 131 and the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 are also connected through a second small hole 133, and the first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 blocks the second small hole 133 when it is extended and opens the second small hole 133 when it is retracted.

[0051] In the initial state, the first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 is in the extended state, blocking the second small hole 133, at which time the pressure in the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 blocks the first inner sleeve 120 from moving. After the pressure sensing unit 134 detects the pressure in the small hole to calculate the pressure applied at the wellhead, the pressure is compared with the set pressure, and if they match, the first electromagnetic contraction opens the second small hole 133 and releases the pressure in the first annular hydraulic cavity 121, and the first inner sleeve 120 moves downward under the pressure of the central hole, thereby exposing the fracturing hole 212.

[0052] In one embodiment, the electrically controlled staged fracturing sleeve 200 includes a second sleeve body 210, which is a cylindrical structure similar in structure to the first sleeve body 110. The upper part of the second sleeve body 210 is provided with a fracturing hole 212, and the inside is provided with a second inner sleeve 220; the lower part of the second sleeve body 210 is provided with a ball catcher 240 and a second electrically controlled short section 230.

[0053] The second inner sleeve 220 blocks the fracturing hole 212 in the initial state, and slides downward by a distance to open the ball catcher 240 when the pressure applied at the well head matches the pressure set by the first electric control nipple 130, and continues to move downward and open the fracturing hole 212 after the soluble fracturing ball 250 is put in.

[0054] In one embodiment, a second annular hydraulic cavity 221 is arranged between the second sliding sleeve body 210 and the second inner sleeve 220, a second annular cavity 231 is arranged in the second electric control nipple 230, and an electromagnetic hydraulic lock is arranged in the second annular cavity 231.

[0055] The second annular hydraulic cavity 221 is filled with hydraulic oil, which blocks the second inner sleeve 220 and fixes it in place. In the initial state, the second electromagnetic hydraulic lock 233 locks the pressure in the second annular hydraulic cavity 221, and when the pressure applied at the well head reaches the set value, the second electromagnetic hydraulic lock 233 unlocks the pressure in the annular hydraulic cavity.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the second annular cavity 231 and the second annular hydraulic cavity 221 are further connected through a third small hole 232, and the second electromagnetic hydraulic lock 233 blocks the third small hole 232 when it is extended and opens the third small hole 232 when it is retracted.

[0057] In one embodiment, the ball catcher 240 includes a fixed ring 241 and a variable-diameter ball seat 242 arranged between the fixed ring 241 and the second inner sleeve 220, and when the second inner sleeve 220 pushes the variable-diameter ball seat 242, the variable-diameter ball seat 242 contracts inwardly and is clamped on the fixed ring 241.

[0058] Preferably, the fixed ring 241 and the second electric control nipple 230 are connected through a shear pin 243.

[0059] When the soluble fracturing ball 250 is put in, the soluble fracturing ball 250 is clamped on the variable-diameter ball seat 242 and the pressure above is blocked, and when the pressure reaches a certain value, the shear pin 243 is sheared off, so that the fixed ring 241 and the second electric control nipple 230 are separated, and the second inner sleeve 220, the pressure blocking ball and the ball catcher 240 move downward together to open the fracturing hole 112.

[0060] When the electrically controlled cluster fracturing sliding sleeve according to the pressure signal opening principle is used, when the sliding sleeve needs to be opened, a pressure signal is applied through the wellhead, the pressure signal is transmitted to the first inner sleeve 120 through the liquid in the wellbore, the inner sleeve compresses the hydraulic oil in the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 under the pressure difference, thereby transmitting the pressure signal to the first small hole 132, and the pressure sensing unit 134 receives the pressure signal. When the collected pressure signal matches the pressure signal pre-written by the electric control device, the electric control device installed in the first annular cavity 131 will unlock the electromagnetic hydraulic lock, so that the piston rod protruding into the second small hole 133 is withdrawn, and the first annular hydraulic cavity 121 is no longer in a sealed state. When the well is pressurized, the first inner sleeve 120 moves under the pressure difference, and the hydraulic oil is pressed out of the second small hole 133, thereby achieving the opening of the sliding sleeve.

[0061] The construction process of the cluster electrically controlled fracturing sliding sleeve is as follows: according to the construction requirements, all the sliding sleeves are lowered into the oil and gas well along with the well completion string, such as Figure 1 The opening principle of the electrically controlled delay toe-end sliding sleeve 100 is as follows: during the deployment of the electrically controlled delay toe-end sliding sleeve 100, the first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 provides sufficient locking force to ensure that the electrically controlled delay toe-end sliding sleeve 100 is not opened. Figure 2 When the electrically controlled delay toe-end sliding sleeve 100 needs to be opened for full wellbore test high pressure in the oil and gas well, a pressure signal matching the pre-written pressure wave of the electrically controlled delay toe-end sliding sleeve 100 is applied through the wellhead. The first electromagnetic hydraulic lock 135 will release the locking of the first annular hydraulic cavity 121, and the first inner sleeve 120 moves under the pressure difference in the well, thereby achieving the opening of the sliding sleeve. Figure 3 .

[0062] The electrically controlled staged fracturing sliding sleeve 200 is deployed above the electrically controlled delay toe-end sliding sleeve 100, and multiple electrically controlled staged fracturing sliding sleeves 200 are arranged according to the designed staged position of the oil and gas well. In order to efficiently develop oil and gas, one or more electrically controlled cluster fracturing sliding sleeves 300 are arranged in the fracturing section between the electrically controlled staged fracturing sliding sleeves 200 as needed to achieve cluster fracturing. The opening principles of the two sliding sleeves are as follows: the opening signal of the ball catcher 240 of the first-stage electrically controlled staged sliding sleeve is the same as that of the electrically controlled toe-end sliding sleeve. When the electrically controlled toe-end sliding sleeve is opened, the second inner sleeve 220 of the first-stage electrically controlled staged sliding sleeve also moves a distance and is hung on the opening shear pin 243 to form the ball catcher 240. In this way, after the toe-end construction is completed, a soluble fracturing ball 250 is dropped from the wellhead and falls on the ball catcher 240 of the first-stage electrically controlled staged sliding sleeve to form an interlayer packer. Figure 6 .

[0063] The pressure signal is applied again in the closed wellbore to open the first stage cluster fracturing sliding sleeve, and the catcher 240 of the second stage segmented sliding sleeve opens the signal which is the same as the opening signal of the first stage cluster sliding sleeve. In the process of realizing the first stage cluster fracturing, the second inner sleeve 220 of the second stage segmented sliding sleeve also moves a distance and is hung on the opening shear pin 243 arranged thereon. The subsequent stages are operated according to the logic.

[0064] Since the catcher 240 on each sliding sleeve is opened only when the fracturing of the previous stage is completed, the passage in the wellbore is not affected, and the same diameter soluble fracturing ball 250 can be used to form the interlayer isolation during the multi-stage fracturing until the whole wellbore fracturing operation is completed. After the soluble fracturing ball 250 is dissolved for a period of time, the passage is formed in the whole wellbore, and the next operation can be performed.

[0065] Although the preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art who have the basic inventive concept can make further changes and modifications to the embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and / or modifications falling within the scope of the present application, and the changes and / or modifications made to the embodiments according to the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
