Background Art

[0002] In the later stage of gas well production, it is necessary to salvage the downhole choke for drainage operations. Currently, most downhole chokes are fished out using steel wire. During the steel wire fishing operation, if the steel wire tension cannot overcome the upward resistance of the choke and the fishing fails, the choke can be lifted with the help of the gas well energy. Currently, the conventional practice for gas lift choke fishing is to open the well and lift it after closing the gas tree test well gate or installing a blowout preventer. When the choke reaches the wellhead and moves upward at a fast speed, the impact force on the wellhead gate or blowout preventer is relatively large, which poses an unsafe factor.

[0007] The shock absorber is a tubular structure and is inserted into the shock-absorbing lubricating preventer; the outer wall of the shock absorber is tightly fixed to the inner wall of the shock-absorbing lubricating preventer; and the inner wall of the shock absorber is provided with a shock-absorbing structure.

[0008] Furthermore, an annular protrusion is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the shock-absorbing lubricating pipe, and a retaining ring is provided above the annular protrusion; the retaining ring fixing sleeve is provided on the outer side of the shock-absorbing lubricating pipe, and a pressure cap activity area is formed between the annular protrusion and the retaining ring;

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a spray preventer cap, which is set on the top end of the shock-absorbing spray preventer.

[0011] Furthermore, a first sealing ring and a first anti-extrusion ring are provided between the blowout preventer cap and the shock-absorbing blowout preventer.

[0012] Furthermore, the shock-absorbing component is made of non-metallic rubber material, and the shock-absorbing structure on the inner wall of the shock-absorbing component is a wave-shaped shock-absorbing structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the wave crest of the wave-shaped shock-absorbing structure matches the size of the fishing neck of the gas lift fishing tool.

[0014] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the lower end portion of the shock-absorbing component is configured as a V-shaped structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the shock-absorbing lubricant preventer is inserted into the sealing hole of the gas lift lubricant preventer, and a second anti-extrusion ring and a second sealing ring are provided between the shock-absorbing lubricant preventer and the sealing hole of the gas lift lubricant preventer.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a handle, which is symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the upper end of the pressure cap; wherein the handle is threadedly connected to the gas lift blowout preventer.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for using the wellhead shock absorbing device, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Connect the lower end of the shock-absorbing lubricant preventer to the sealing hole of the gas lift lubricant preventer, and connect the lower end of the pressure cap to the male buckle of the gas lift lubricant preventer;

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The present invention provides a wellhead shock-absorbing device and a method for using the device. A pressure cap is used to connect a shock-absorbing lubricating preventer with a gas lift lubricating preventer. A shock-absorbing component is inserted into the shock-absorbing lubricating preventer, and the shock-absorbing structure of the inner wall of the shock-absorbing component is utilized to effectively eliminate the impact of the choke on the wellhead and eliminate noise. At the same time, the shock-absorbing component is utilized to capture the gas lift salvage tool, thereby reducing the number of operating procedures. The device has a simple structure and is easy to use, effectively improving the safety of the gas lift salvage choke.

[0023] Furthermore, by forming a pressure cap active area between the annular protrusion and the retaining ring, the upper end of the pressure cap is slidably set in the pressure cap active area through the annular protrusion, thereby restricting the pressure cap to the lower end of the shock-absorbing blowout preventer, thereby protecting the sealing structure of the lower end of the shock-absorbing blowout preventer; at the same time, during the disassembly of the wellhead shock-absorbing device, the upper end of the pressure cap is abutted against the retaining ring, which facilitates the removal of the shock-absorbing blowout preventer from the sealing hole of the gas lift blowout preventer, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the device.

[0024] Furthermore, by providing a blowout preventer cap at the top of the shock-absorbing lubricating preventer, the gas lift salvage tool is effectively prevented from flying out of the top of the shock-absorbing lubricating preventer; at the same time, it is convenient to inspect and maintain the shock-absorbing parts in the shock-absorbing lubricating preventer.

[0025] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the blowout preventer and the shock-absorbing blowout preventer to ensure that after the wellhead shock-absorbing device is installed, there is sufficient gas pressure in the well to ensure the success of the choke gas lift salvage; since the anti-extrusion ring is harder than the sealing ring, it can protect the sealing ring and improve the sealing ability.

[0026] Furthermore, the shock absorber is made of non-metallic rubber material, and the shock absorber structure is set to a wave-shaped shock absorber structure, which has good deformation buffering ability; the wave crest of the wave-shaped shock absorber structure can achieve step-by-step damping buffering when the salvage tool enters the inner cavity of the shock absorber, effectively improving the buffering effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the wave crest of the wave-shaped shock-absorbing structure matches the size of the fishing neck of the gas lift fishing tool, which can capture the gas lift fishing tool while absorbing the shock, preventing the fishing tool from falling back into the well after the well is shut in, saving wellhead catchers and reducing the fishing operation process.

[0028] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the lower end of the shock absorber is set to a V-shaped structure, so that the shock absorber has an internal and external guiding function; wherein, the internal guide can guide the salvage neck of the gas lift salvage tool to smoothly enter the inner cavity of the shock absorber, and the external guide can ensure that the shock absorber rebounds smoothly after compression.

[0029] Furthermore, by arranging a second anti-extrusion ring and a second sealing ring between the sealing hole of the shock-absorbing blowout preventer and the gas lift blowout preventer, it is ensured that after the wellhead shock-absorbing device is installed, the gas in the well will not leak from the threaded connection between the pressure cap and the gas well blowout preventer, thereby ensuring the success of the throttle gas lift salvage; the anti-extrusion ring has a higher hardness than the sealing ring, which can protect the sealing ring and improve the sealing ability.

[0030] Furthermore, by symmetrically arranging handles on the outer side of the upper end of the pressure cap, the installation and removal of the pressure cap are facilitated. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
