Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an anti-jamming capsule for drilling operations in large-sized karst formations, belonging to the field of oil and gas. Background Technology

[0002] The southeastern part of the Sichuan Basin is characterized by karst topography. During shale gas exploration and development, drilling often encounters formation fissures, underground flowing rivers, and large karst caves. This can easily lead to severe leakage or leakage connected to surface waterways. The caves are multi-layered, and falling rocks and debris, as well as rock fragments carried by flowing water, can enter the annulus of the wellbore during drilling, causing high friction and torque. This severely affects the normal progress of drilling operations and can also lead to other types of downhole problems, even causing well collapse, stuck drill bit, drill string breakage, or disconnection. This significantly increases the drilling cycle in shallow formations, resulting in high drilling rig day costs and drilling costs.

[0003] Currently, the common solutions are to plug the leaks by inserting sealing materials or backfilling the wellbore with cement. However, since karst caves are often connected to underground rivers, neither method is very effective and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of stuck drill bits caused by leakage from large karst caves. This problem severely restricts the exploration and development of shallow karst shale gas wells in the Sichuan Basin. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0038] Figure 1 A stuck-preventing capsule for large-size cave formation drilling operation according to the present application is schematically shown, which comprises a circulating unit 2, the circulating unit 2 is provided with a first circulating hole 23 and a liquid injection hole 24, the first circulating hole 23 is used for circulating operation, and the liquid injection hole 24 is used for injecting liquid such as cement slurry, in the circulating operation, the first circulating hole 23 is opened, and the liquid injection hole 24 is closed, in the injection of cement slurry, the first circulating hole 23 is closed, and the liquid injection hole 24 is opened. A capsule unit 4 is arranged at the lower end of the circulating unit 2, the capsule unit 4 is provided with a capsule 46, the capsule 46 can be filled with cement slurry and can be expanded under the action of the cement slurry.

The embodiment also comprises a switch plug 5 and a bumping plug 6, which are put into the wellhead for changing the state of the circulating unit 2 and the bumping unit 1 in the well.

[0039] In the stuck-preventing capsule for large-size cave formation drilling operation according to the embodiment, the first circulating hole 23 of the circulating unit 2 is opened and the liquid injection hole 24 is closed at the beginning, after the switch plug 5 is put in, the first circulating hole 23 is closed and the liquid injection hole 24 is opened, then the cement slurry poured in enters the capsule unit 4 through the liquid injection hole 24, then the capsule unit 4 is separated from the circulating unit 2 by means of lifting or back-off, and the releasing is completed. The capsule 46 falls to the predetermined position, and after the cement slurry is solidified, an "artificial island" is established to compact the falling rocks, and the falling rocks are placed into the wellbore again. After the cement slurry is poured in, the bumping plug 6 is put in, the bumping plug 6 acts on the bumping unit 1, the second circulating hole 14 is opened, and the circulation is re-established.

[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 A releasing unit 3 is arranged between the capsule unit 4 and the circulating unit 2, the releasing unit 3 separates the capsule unit 4 from the circulating unit 2 under a certain pressure to realize releasing. Alternatively, the capsule unit 4 is separated from the circulating unit 2 by rotating to realize releasing.

[0041] Under normal circumstances, the capsule unit 4 is separated from the circulating unit 2 by lifting the drilling tool under the action of the self-weight of the capsule unit 4 to complete releasing; when the pressure releasing fails, the capsule unit 4 can be separated from the circulating unit 2 by rotating. Through the two releasing modes, it is ensured that the releasing can be normally completed under abnormal circumstances.

[0042] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The circulating unit 2 comprises a circulating short section 21, the first circulating hole 23 is arranged radially on the circulating short section 21, the circulating short section 21 is provided with a sliding sleeve 22, the bottom of the sliding sleeve 22 is arranged radially, the liquid injection hole 24 is arranged on the bottom of the sliding sleeve 22, and the upper part of the sliding sleeve 22 is provided with a communication hole 27.

In the initial state, the sliding sleeve 22 is in the first position, and there is a certain distance between the outer step 25 and the inner step 26. The injection hole 24 is blocked inside the boss. When the switch plug 5 is connected to the sliding sleeve 22 and pressurized, the sliding sleeve 22 slides downward under the pressure. When it moves to the point where the outer step 25 contacts the inner step 26, the sliding sleeve 22 will not continue to move downward due to the obstruction of the outer step 25. At this time, the sliding sleeve 22 is fixed in the second position. At the same time, the lower end of the sliding sleeve 22 extends downward, and the injection hole 24 moves to the bottom of the boss, thereby opening.

[0049] Preferably, a plurality of sealing grooves are arranged on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 22, and sealing rings are arranged in the sealing grooves. Two groups of sealing rings are arranged on both sides of the injection hole 24, and two groups of sealing rings are also arranged on both sides of the first circulation hole 23 in the second position.

[0050] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The capsule unit 4 includes a sleeve 47, which is a cylindrical structure.

The capsule 46 falls into the predetermined area.

[0052] In one embodiment, the lower end of the sleeve 47 is provided with a circular guide head 49, which is connected with the sleeve 47 through a fourth shear pin 48 and is sealed by a sealing ring. At the beginning, the circular guide head 49 can reduce the resistance when entering the well and can protect the capsule 46. After the capsule 46 expands, the fourth shear pin 48 is broken under the action of a certain pressure, so that the circular guide head 49 is separated from the sleeve 47, and after the releasing hand is completed, the capsule 46 can fall down smoothly.

[0053] In one embodiment, the support fixing mechanism comprises a shearing sleeve 41 connected to the third shear pin 33, which is annular in structure, and the lower end of the shearing sleeve 41 is provided with a connecting sleeve 42.
