Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well pipe string modification / accident handling, relates to metal pipe string cutting, and particularly relates to an energy-gathering cutting and slitting device for metal pipe strings. Background Art

[0002] During oilfield exploitation, it is often encountered that the metal pipe cannot be circulated inside and outside, resulting in the inability to continue subsequent operations. Generally, hydraulic drilling technology or energy-gathering drilling technology is used to perform drilling operations on the pipe, so that the internal and external environments of the metal pipe can be circulated to ensure the normal progress of subsequent operations in the oil and gas field.

[0003] When cutting large-diameter metal tubing, such as 7-inch casing, 5-1 / 2-inch casing, and 4-1 / 2-inch casing, hydraulic drilling generally produces smaller holes and fewer holes, requiring multiple operations to achieve the required drilling area. Furthermore, because it uses coiled tubing, multiple drilling operations increase operating costs and risks, and can easily lead to coiled tubing jams.

[0004] Energy-focused hole-cutting technology can achieve a large number of small-diameter holes at a time. When using existing energy-focused hole-cutting devices to cut large-diameter metal pipes, the following problems exist:

[0005] First, if the cutting range of the metal pipe column is long, it is difficult for the existing energy-gathering hole-opening device to achieve multi-point and fixed-point cutting and slitting at different positions within the long cutting range.

[0006] Second, since the diameter of the hole-opening device itself is relatively large, and other structures are provided in the metal pipe column, the passage left for the hole-opening device is relatively small, resulting in the hole-opening device being unable to pass through the passage in the metal pipe column.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting slot unit 6 includes a cutting slot shell 601, in which the detonator joint 502 or the explosive transmission unit 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the cutting slot shell 601, and the explosive transmission unit 7 or the tail 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the cutting slot shell 601; the space inside the cutting slot shell 601 is a cutting slot cavity 602, and a cutting rope positioning ring 603 is provided in the bottom of one side of the cutting slot cavity 602, and the cutting rope positioning ring 603 is fixedly installed on the top of the explosive transmission unit 7 or the tail 8; a cutting rope 604 is provided in the other side of the cutting slot cavity 602, the top end of the cutting rope 604 is in contact with the detonator column 506 or the explosive transmission unit 7 above it, and the bottom end of the cutting rope 604 is in contact with the explosive transmission unit 7 or the tail 8 below it, the cutting rope positioning ring 603 is tightly against the bottom of one side of the cutting rope 604, and the other side of the cutting rope 604 is fixed on the inner wall of the cutting slot shell 601.

[0050] In this embodiment, the top surface of the detonating tube 507 is 1 to 2 mm lower than the top surface of the disconnect joint 501 , and the detonating cord 508 is a lead detonating cord.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cutting rope positioning ring 603 is similar to a semicircular ring structure, and the cross-section of the cutting rope 604 is similar to a V-shaped structure. The two ends of one side of the cutting rope 604 are tightly against the cutting rope positioning ring 603, and the other side of the cutting rope 604 is adhered and fixed to the inner wall of the cutting slit shell 601 to ensure that the cutting rope 604 remains stationary during the assembly and construction process to ensure the cutting slit effect.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the cutting slot shell 601 is copper or lead-antimony alloy to ensure that the cutting rope 604 forms a jet after explosion.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cutting rope 604 is made of gunpowder known in the prior art, such as RDX and Octogen, and is pressed into the designed size using a roller pressing process.

[0054] As a specific solution of this embodiment, the maximum outer diameter of the energy-focusing cutting and slitting device for the metal pipe column is 30 to 40 mm to ensure that the energy-focusing cutting and slitting device can smoothly enter the interior of the large-diameter metal pipe column.

[0055] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a pair of disconnect grooves 509 are provided on the outer wall of the disconnect joint 501 , and the pair of disconnect grooves 509 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bottom ends of the disconnect grooves 509 and the top ends of the disconnecting charge 504 are located in the same horizontal plane.

[0056] In this embodiment, the shell thickness at the break groove 509 is 1.5 mm to 2 mm. After the break charge 504 explodes, the break connector 501 can be separated from the break groove 509, and the diameter of the break connector 501 increases by less than 2 mm after separation. The break groove 509 is treated with a high-frequency quenching process to make the break groove 509 brittle and ensure that the flange is as small as possible during separation.

[0057] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a positioning ring fixing hole 605 is opened in the middle position of the cutting cable positioning ring 603, and a positioning ring mounting screw 606 is arranged in the positioning ring fixing hole 605.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cutting rope positioning ring 603 is fixedly mounted on the top of the explosive transmission unit 7 or the tail 8 by means of the positioning ring mounting screw 606 .

[0059] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the central symmetry line of the cross section of the cutting rope 604 is the cutting line, and the angle between the cutting lines of different cutting ropes 604 is α, which is 0° to 60°.

[0060] In this embodiment, according to actual construction requirements, the cutting cables 604 of different cutting and slitting units 6 can be coaxially arranged, that is, α is 0°; or non-coaxially arranged, that is, α is not 0°.

[0061] As a specific solution of this embodiment, the number of the cutting and slitting units 6 is six, and the cutting ropes 604 of the six cutting and slitting units 6 are set at different angles, which can achieve 360° all-round cutting.

[0062] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the weakness releaser 2 includes a weakness releaser upper joint 201, a coiled tubing joint 1 is fixedly installed in the top of the weakness releaser upper joint 201, the bottom of the weakness releaser upper joint 201 is fixedly installed in the top of the weakness releaser lower joint 202, and the bottom of the weakness releaser lower joint 202 is fixedly installed in the screen gun 3; a plurality of weakness releaser shear pins 203 are installed on the bottom of the weakness releaser upper joint 201, and the plurality of weakness releaser shear pins 203 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the principle of the weakness releaser 2 to achieve weakness release is as follows: after cutting is completed, the coiled tubing 9 is lifted upward. When the upward lifting force is greater than the shear force of the shear pin 203 of the weakness releaser, the shear pin 203 of the weakness releaser is sheared off, and the weakness releaser 2 is disengaged, ensuring that the coiled tubing 9 can be smoothly lifted out of the wellhead.

[0064] In this embodiment, the upper joint 201 of the weakness releaser is a male joint, and the lower joint 202 of the weakness releaser is a female joint. An annular groove of a certain size and depth is provided at the lower end of the upper joint 201 of the weakness releaser, and a joint hole is provided at the upper end of the lower joint 202 of the weakness releaser. When the two are fully connected in place, the position of the joint hole is opposite to the position of the annular groove, and then the shear pin 203 of the weakness releaser is inserted from the joint hole into the annular groove of the upper joint.

[0065] In this embodiment, the shear pins of the weakness releaser are pins with calibrated standard force, and the connection portion between the upper joint 201 of the weakness releaser and the lower joint 202 of the weakness releaser needs to be high-frequency quenched to ensure that the portion has high hardness and strength.

[0066] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a pin retaining ring 204 is fixedly provided on the top of the weak point release lower joint 202 , and the outer end of the weak point release shear pin 203 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the pin retaining ring 204 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the pin retaining ring 204 is connected to the weak point releaser lower joint 202 by means of threads. The pin retaining ring 204 can block the weak point releaser shear pin 203 to prevent the weak point releaser shear pin 203 from falling out of the joint hole.

[0068] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the screen gun 3 includes a screen gun housing 301 , a weak point releaser 2 is fixedly installed in the top of the screen gun housing 301 , and the bottom of the screen gun housing 301 is fixedly installed in the detonator 4 ; a plurality of prototype holes 302 are opened on the screen gun housing 301 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the top of the screen gun housing 301 is connected to the weak point release lower joint 202 by a threaded connection, and the bottom of the screen gun housing 301 is connected to the initiator housing 401 by a threaded connection.

[0070] In this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the inner diameter of the prototype small hole 302 is no more than 5 mm, which can play a role in sand prevention.

[0071] In this embodiment, a retaining screw is fixedly installed on the top of the screen gun housing 301 to ensure a stable connection between the screen gun housing 301 and the weak point releaser lower connector 202 .

[0072] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the detonator 4 includes a detonator shell 401, a screen gun 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the detonator shell 401, and a detonator 5 is fixedly installed in the bottom of the detonator shell 401; the space in the detonator shell 401 is a detonator cavity 402, and a firing pin sleeve 403 and a detonator 404 are sequentially arranged in the detonator cavity 402 from top to bottom, and the firing pin sleeve 403 is movably arranged in the detonator cavity 402; a firing pin 405 is fixedly installed in the firing pin sleeve 403, and the top of the firing pin 405 extends out of the top of the firing pin sleeve 403, and the bottom center of the firing pin 405 extends out of the bottom of the firing pin sleeve 403; a plurality of detonator shear pins 406 are fixedly installed on the firing pin sleeve 403, and the firing pin 405 is fixedly installed in the firing pin sleeve 403 through the detonator shear pins 406.

[0073] In this embodiment, after the wellbore is pressurized, the pressure enters the screen gun 3 and the detonator chamber 402 in sequence, and the detonator shear pin 406 is broken under the action of the pressure, and the firing pin 405 strikes and detonates the detonator 404, achieving ignition and detonation.

[0074] As a specific solution of this embodiment, Figure 9As shown, the explosive transmission unit 7 includes an explosive transmission shell 701, the top of the explosive transmission shell 701 is fixedly installed in the adjacent cutting slit shell 601 above it, and the bottom of the explosive transmission shell 701 is fixedly installed in the adjacent cutting slit shell 601 below it; the space inside the explosive transmission shell 701 is an explosive transmission cavity 702, and an explosive column 703 is arranged in the explosive transmission cavity 702, the top end of the explosive column 703 is in contact with the adjacent cutting rope 604 above it, and the bottom end of the explosive column 703 is in contact with the adjacent cutting rope 604 below it.

[0075] In this embodiment, the top and bottom surfaces of the explosive charge column 703 are respectively 2 mm to 3 mm lower than the top and bottom ends of the explosive shell 701 , and the explosive charge column 703 is fixed inside the explosive shell 701 by a retaining spring.

[0076] In this embodiment, the total charge of the disconnecting charge 504, the detonating charge 506, and the booster charge 703 must match the overall strength of the housing of the shaped-charge cutting and slitting device. Excessive charge can cause severe damage and deformation of the housing, significantly increasing and becoming irregular in its outer diameter. This can prevent the tool string from being smoothly pulled out of the wellbore after completion, leading to a possible jam. On the other hand, if the charge is too low, the disconnecting connector 501 cannot be completely disconnected from the disconnecting groove 509, which can also easily lead to a possible jam.

[0077] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0078] First, assemble and connect the coiled tubing joint 1, weak point releaser 2, screen gun 3, detonator 4 and detonator 5, cutting and slitting unit 6, detonation transmission unit 7 and tail 8 in sequence. Then connect the coiled tubing 9 to the top of the coiled tubing joint 1. Use the coiled tubing 9 to lower the energy-focused cutting and slitting device to the designed slitting position.

[0079] Second, pressure is applied at the wellhead, and the pressure is transmitted to the detonator 4 along the coiled tubing joint 1, the weakness releaser 2, and the screen gun 3 in sequence, causing the detonator 4 to detonate. The detonation wave generated by the detonation of the detonator 4 propagates downward, detonating the disconnection charge 504. After the disconnection charge 504 is detonated, the disconnection joint 501 is disconnected from the disconnection groove 509. At the same time, the detonation wave propagates to detonate the detonating charge 506, thereby detonating the topmost cutting slit unit 6 connected to the detonator 5, causing the cutting rope 604 to detonate.

[0080] Third, after the cutting rope 604 is detonated, it cooperates with the cutting slit shell 601 to form a metal energy-focused jet, forming an effective cutting gap 10 on the large-diameter metal pipe column. At the same time, the detonation wave detonates the explosive transmission unit 7 connected to the topmost cutting slit unit 6, and detonates the next cutting slit unit 6 until all the cutting slit units 6 are exploded, completing a cutting operation.

[0081] like Figure 10 As shown, during the actual operation, each cutting slit unit 6 can only form an effective cutting gap 10 in a close position and close to the cutting rope 604. According to the different cutting target pipe strings and the different slit sizes, multiple cutting slit units 6 can be selected for connection to ensure that enough effective cutting gaps 10 are formed.

[0082] Fourth, after the cutting operation is completed, the portion above the cut groove 509 or above the weak point release shear pin 203 can be lifted out of the wellhead through the coiled tubing 9, and the remaining residue is left in the well.
