Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a tool device for oil well repair, in particular to a well repair top drive. BACKGROUND

[0002] Well repair is short for repairing oil wells, and its purpose is to restore the production capacity of the well and remove the downhole fault.

[0003] On the one hand, as the oilfield development continues to deepen, the downhole conditions become increasingly complex, and the implementation environment to be considered in the well repair operation is also increasingly complex. For example, low-lying well earth filling requirements; for wells near sensitive areas, roads need to be closed, factory buildings and high-voltage lines need to be removed. As a relatively common phenomenon, part of the wells are located in the living area, sensitive area, and due to the limited equipment conditions of the well site, these wells cannot be processed in time and will be accumulated for a long time. Delaying repair. In fact, as the well density of oilfield development increases and the pace of urban development accelerates, subsequent well sites will increase year by year. It is necessary to develop a device that is less affected by the well site environment, can realize rapid transportation and installation, and can take into account large and small well repair operations.

[0004] On the other hand, in the actual operation of oil well equipment, due to unreasonable operation or downhole reasons, the downhole string and downhole tool will often be stuck in the casing, and the process of making it recover from the stuck state is called unblocking. The unblocking method includes repeated pulling, that is, repeated pulling under the load of the original well string tension, so that the sand falls off and loosens, thereby achieving unblocking. However, the traditional unblocking method uses a lifting tool to lift the well repair equipment to achieve repeated pulling. This method requires a large lifting device or relies on well site lifting tools, and the use range is still limited. On the other hand, the well repair top drive is prone to deviation from the well center line during lifting due to lifting tool errors, lifting rope shaking and other reasons, causing the pipe string to be bent by horizontal pressure and further causing frequent sticking. On the other hand, the traditional repeated pulling can only provide upward force, and cannot provide driving force when lowering. It can only rely on gravity self-driving. In the case of relying on gravity, the phenomenon of sticking down is encountered, and the unblocking efficiency is low, which requires repeated attempts. SUMMARY
