[0002] During the development of shale gas horizontal wells, casing deformation is common. Casing deformation seriously restricts the passability of downhole tools and becomes one of the bottlenecks limiting the efficiency of shale gas well production. Fault slip and natural fracture dislocation induced by hydraulic fracturing are one of the main controlling factors of casing shear deformation. For the control method of casing shear deformation of horizontal wells, most of them currently adopt process means such as adjusting the wellbore trajectory, optimizing fracturing parameters, increasing the thickness of the cement ring, increasing the steel grade and wall thickness of the casing, and improving the cement slurry formula for cementing. Although these methods can alleviate the deformation of the casing to a certain extent, they will also lead to new technical problems, such as frequent adjustment of the wellbore trajectory makes drilling more difficult, optimizing fracturing parameters cannot guarantee the effective reservoir transformation volume, and increasing the steel grade and wall thickness of the casing is not conducive to the later wellbore repair, etc.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a tooth spring and a tooth ring which are both sleeved on the connecting pipe are arranged in the compression sleeve, and two ends of the tooth spring are respectively in contact with the tooth ring and the piston.

[0012] A further technical solution is that a left ring, a spring and a right ring which are sequentially sleeved on the connecting pipe are arranged in the rubber tube.

[0017] A method for using a tool for controlling shear deformation of horizontal well casing comprises:

[0018] 1. Connect the two ends of the tool for controlling the shear deformation of the horizontal well casing to the casing respectively, and lower the tool for controlling the shear deformation of the horizontal well casing to the casing deformation risk section;

[0019] Second, a small ball is put into the casing, and the small ball reaches the small ball cone seat in the tool, pressurizing the casing to achieve pressure holding;

[0020] 3. Inject fluid into the casing, and the liquid enters the hydraulic channel from the liquid inlet hole in the tool and fills the hydraulic channel;

[0021] 4. When the pressure in the hydraulic channel reaches the first rated pressure, the piston pushes the sleeve to move under the action of hydraulic pressure, compresses the rubber tube and continues to push the claws to open and bite the wellbore wall of the open hole, completing the setting and anchoring;

[0022] 5. Under the action of hydraulic pressure, the piston pushes the pressing sleeve to move and also pushes the snap ring to move at the same time; the snap ring has a conical surface and moves along the conical surface of the pressing sleeve under the action of thrust. The thrust generates a downward partial pressure through the conical surface and gradually increases with the push of the piston, and finally the snap ring is engaged to complete the locking function;

[0023] 6. Continue to increase the pressure in the casing. When the pressure exceeds the second rated working pressure, the small ball shear pin of the small ball cone seat is sheared off, and the small ball cone seat is thrown away;

[0024] 7. Carry out cementing operation, inject cement slurry into the casing, the cement slurry enters the bottom of the well after passing through the tool, and then enters the annulus between the casing and the wall of the open hole from the bottom of the well, and gradually fills the annulus; the cement slurry in the annulus enters the tool from the cement slurry inlet and outlet at the right end of the tool when passing through the tool, and passes through the isolation mechanism, double-layer center pipe, and sliding sleeve mechanism at the right end of the tool in turn, and then passes through the double-layer center pipe and isolation mechanism at the left end of the tool, and finally enters the annulus between the casing and the wall of the open hole through the cement slurry inlet and outlet of the isolation mechanism at the left end of the tool; thereby achieving normal cementing by avoiding risk sections;

[0025] 8. After cementing is completed, the second ball throwing operation is carried out, and a large ball is thrown in; the diameter of the large ball is larger than that of the small ball and cannot pass through the large ball cone seat, and the large ball falls into the large ball cone seat;

[0026] 9. Pressurize the casing. When the pressure reaches the third rated pressure, the anti-error pin is cut off, and the sleeve body moves rightward to the stop ring under the action of thrust. At this time, the strip hole on the sleeve body coincides with the liquid outlet on the sleeve base, forming a new liquid channel.

[0027] 10. Stop pressurizing and inject special cement slurry with low elastic modulus and high Poisson's ratio or liquid with high viscosity into the casing; the liquid enters the annulus of the casing change risk section through the liquid channel formed by the strip holes of the sliding sleeve body and the liquid outlet of the sliding sleeve base, and finally fills the entire annulus;

[0028] 11. After the special liquid is injected, the salvage tool is lowered; the large ball cone seat has an inverted triangle buckle structure that is combined with the salvage tool; the salvage tool is lifted, and the sliding sleeve body moves to the left under the drive of the large ball cone seat driven by the salvage tool; when the sliding sleeve body moves to the left end of the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve base, due to the inverted triangle buckle structure of the sliding sleeve body and the cone sleeve base, the sliding sleeve body and the sliding sleeve base are locked and locked, thereby closing the liquid channel;

[0029] 12. Continue to lift the salvage tool. When the lifting force exceeds the allowable shear force of the large ball shear pin, the pin is sheared off, and the large ball cone seat is brought out of the casing by the salvage tool. The functions of the casing shear deformation tool are fully realized, and the tool passability of the casing is restored.

[0030] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. A specific tool and method for solving casing shear deformation is proposed. Compared with the traditional casing deformation control method that increases the thickness of the cement ring to increase the casing thickness and steel grade, reduces the scale of fracturing, adjusts the wellbore trajectory, etc., which may increase the drilling cost, increase the drilling difficulty, and affect the oil and gas field production efficiency; this tool can effectively control the casing deformation while reducing the cost of oil and gas field development and ensuring normal production efficiency.

[0032] 2. Compared with the traditional cementing device, this device is equipped with a claw structure on the isolation device according to the downhole conditions, which can anchor the entire device while setting the seal, preventing the device from failing due to eccentricity or dislocation, etc., and improving the reliability of the device.

[0033] 3. The tools are arranged in series through the middle joints. The number of series sections of the tools can be adjusted according to the length of the risk section of the sleeve change to achieve full coverage of the entire risk section.

[0034] 4. The tool can ensure normal cementing of other well sections while achieving non-cementing of risky well sections, thus ensuring the integrity of the wellbore.

[0035] 5. Compared with the traditional segmented cementing method, the tool adds a sliding sleeve device for liquid injection in the middle section, which can fill the annulus of the casing change risk section with high viscosity liquid or special cement with high elastic modulus and low Poisson's ratio for absorbing formation displacement. While controlling casing change, the injected liquid also protects the risk section.

[0036] 6. Two ball throwing methods are used to respectively realize the device sealing and the sleeve opening. Simple operation can reduce construction time and save costs.

[0037] 7. After the device realizes all functions, the injection hole can be closed by the salvage device. And the inverted triangle buckle on the sliding sleeve can ensure that the sliding sleeve is finally locked without affecting subsequent operations.

[0038] 8. The ball seat can be taken out through the fishing device, and the inner diameter of the device after deployment is the same as that of the ordinary casing, ensuring the passability of downhole tools. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, a specific implementation of the sealing component 28 is that the sealing component 28 includes a pressing sleeve 281, a rubber tube 282, a claw connecting tube 283, a claw joint 285, and a plurality of claws 284, the two ends of the claws 284 are respectively connected to the claw connecting tube 283 and the claw joint 285, the pressing sleeve 281, the rubber tube 282, and the claw connecting tube 283 are sequentially sleeved on the connecting pipe 23, the claw joint 285 is connected to the right end of the connecting pipe 23, and a plurality of claws 284 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 23 around the circumference, the left end of the pressing sleeve 281 is located in the gap between the sleeve 21 and the connecting pipe 23, and the pressing sleeve 281 is provided with a tooth spring 286 and a tooth ring 287 both sleeved on the connecting pipe 23, and the two ends of the tooth spring are respectively abutted against the tooth ring and the piston.

[0056] In this embodiment, in order to limit the movement, the preferred implementation mode is that the female joint 5 and the sliding sleeve body 42 are respectively provided with a small ball shear pin 52 for limiting the movement of the small ball cone seat and a large ball shear pin for limiting the movement of the large ball cone seat, and the sliding sleeve base 41 is provided with an anti-misoperation pin for limiting the movement of the sliding sleeve body 42.

[0058] In this embodiment, in order to improve the sealing effect, sealing rings are provided on the outer walls of the sliding sleeve body 42, the small ball pitching cone seat 51, and the large ball pitching cone seat 43. At the same time, sealing components are provided on the inner wall and the outer wall of the piston.

[0059] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0060] The process of setting and anchoring is as follows: a small ball is put into the small ball cone seat 51 to realize the pressure holding of the tool; then liquid is injected into the tool, and the liquid passes through the liquid inlet hole 24 and the hydraulic channel 25 in sequence to reach the end face 26 of the piston; due to the effect of hydraulic pressure, the piston 26 pushes the pressing sleeve 281 to move, and the pressing sleeve 281 squeezes the rubber tube 282, and the rubber tube 282 realizes the sealing of the well wall, and at the same time, the rubber tube 282 drives the claw connecting tube 283 to move, and since the claw joint 285 is fixed, the claw connecting tube 283 pushes the claw 284 to open and bite the well wall, completing the setting and anchoring;

[0061] The process of cementing operation is as follows: cement slurry is injected into the casing, and the cement slurry passes through the inner cavity of the tool, then enters the bottom of the well, and then enters the annulus between the casing and the well wall, and gradually fills the annulus; when the cement slurry in the annulus passes through the outer wall of the tool, due to the sealing of the rubber tube 282, the cement slurry enters the tool from the cement slurry inlet and outlet 27 of the isolation pipe 22 at the right end of the tool, passes through the outer annulus of the double-layer central pipe 3 at the right end, the cement slurry channel of the sliding sleeve mechanism 4, the outer annulus of the double-layer central pipe 3 at the left end of the tool, and finally flows out from the cement slurry inlet and outlet 27 of the isolation pipe 22 at the left end of the tool, so that the cement slurry avoids the risk section, thereby achieving normal cementing by avoiding the risk section;

[0062] The process of injecting special liquid into the risk section is as follows: a large ball is placed in the large ball cone seat 43; then the wellbore is pressurized, the anti-misoperation pin is sheared off, and the sleeve body 42 moves rightward to the stop ring 46 under the action of thrust. At this time, the strip hole 44 on the sleeve body 46 coincides with the liquid outlet 45 on the sleeve base 41 to form a new liquid channel; the special liquid enters the annulus of the sleeve change risk section through the liquid channel, and finally fills the entire annulus.

[0063] The specific steps include:

[0064] 1. Connect the two ends of the tool for controlling the shear deformation of the horizontal well casing to the casing respectively, and lower the tool for controlling the shear deformation of the horizontal well casing to the casing deformation risk section;

[0065] Second, a small ball is dropped into the casing, and the small ball reaches the small ball cone seat 51 in the tool, pressurizing the casing to achieve pressure holding;

[0066] 3. Inject fluid into the casing, and the liquid enters the hydraulic channel 25 from the liquid inlet hole 24 of the tool and fills the hydraulic channel 25;

[0067] Fourth, when the pressure in the hydraulic channel 25 reaches the first rated pressure, the piston 26 pushes the pressing sleeve 281 to move under the action of the hydraulic pressure, compresses the rubber tube 282 and continues to push the claws 284 to open and bite the wellbore wall of the open hole, completing the setting and anchoring;

[0068] 5. Under the action of hydraulic pressure, the piston 26 pushes the pressing sleeve 281 to move, and at the same time pushes the latch ring 287 to move; the latch ring 287 has a conical surface, and moves along the conical surface of the pressing sleeve 281 under the action of thrust. The thrust generates a downward partial pressure through the conical surface and gradually increases with the push of the piston 26, and finally the latch teeth are engaged to complete the locking function;

[0069] 6. Continue to increase the pressure in the casing. When the pressure exceeds the second rated working pressure, the small ball shear pin of the small ball cone seat 51 is sheared off, and the small ball cone seat 51 is thrown away;

[0070] 7. Carry out cementing operation, inject cement slurry into the casing, the cement slurry enters the bottom of the well after passing through the tool, and then enters the annulus between the casing and the wall of the open hole from the bottom of the well, and gradually fills the annulus; when the cement slurry in the annulus passes through the tool, because the isolation mechanism has been set, the cement slurry can only enter the tool through the cement slurry inlet and outlet at the right end of the tool, and passes through the isolation mechanism 2, double-layer center pipe 3, and sliding sleeve mechanism 4 at the right end of the tool in turn, and then passes through the double-layer center pipe 3 and isolation mechanism 2 at the left end of the tool, and finally enters the annulus between the casing and the wall of the open hole through the cement slurry inlet and outlet 27 of the isolation mechanism 2 at the left end of the tool; thereby achieving normal cementing by avoiding risk sections;

[0071] 8. After cementing is completed, a second ball throwing operation is performed, and a large ball is thrown in; the diameter of the large ball is larger than that of the small ball and cannot pass through the large ball cone seat 43, and the large ball falls into the large ball cone seat 43;

[0072] 9. Pressurize the sleeve. When the pressure reaches the third rated pressure, the anti-misoperation pin is cut off, and the sleeve body 42 moves rightward to the stop ring 46 under the action of the thrust. At this time, the strip hole 44 on the sleeve body 42 coincides with the liquid outlet 45 on the sleeve base 41, forming a new liquid channel.

[0073] 10. Stop pressurizing, and inject special cement slurry with low elastic modulus and high Poisson's ratio or liquid with high viscosity into the casing; the liquid enters the annulus of the casing change risk section through the liquid channel formed by the strip holes 44 of the sliding sleeve body 42 and the liquid outlet 45 of the sliding sleeve base body 41, and finally fills the entire annulus;

[0074] The injected liquid protects and supports the casing and absorbs the displacement load of the formation when the formation slips, thereby controlling and alleviating the deformation of the connecting pipe.

[0075] XI. After the special liquid is injected, the salvage tool is lowered; the large ball cone seat 43 has an inverted triangle buckle structure combined with the salvage tool; the salvage tool is lifted, and the sliding sleeve body 42 is driven by the large ball cone seat 43 to move to the left; when the sliding sleeve body 42 moves to the left end of the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve base 41, due to the inverted triangle buckle structure of the sliding sleeve body 42 and the cone sleeve base 41, the sliding sleeve body 42 and the sliding sleeve base 41 are locked and locked, thereby closing the liquid channel;

[0076] 12. Continue to lift the salvage tool. When the lifting force exceeds the allowable shear force of the large ball shear pin, the pin is sheared off, and the large ball cone seat 43 is brought out of the casing by the salvage tool. The function of the casing shear deformation tool is fully realized, and the tool passability of the casing is restored.

After cementing is completed, the second ball throwing operation is carried out, and a large ball is thrown in; the diameter of the large ball is larger than that of the small ball and cannot pass through the large ball cone seat, and the large ball falls into the large ball cone seat; 9. Pressurize the casing. When the pressure reaches the third rated pressure, the anti-error pin is cut off, and the sleeve body moves rightward to the stop ring under the action of thrust. At this time, the strip hole on the sleeve body coincides with the liquid outlet on the sleeve base, forming a new liquid channel.

10. Stop pressurizing and inject special cement slurry with low elastic modulus and high Poisson's ratio or liquid with high viscosity into the casing; the liquid enters the annulus of the casing change risk section through the liquid channel formed by the strip holes of the sliding sleeve body and the liquid outlet of the sliding sleeve base, and finally fills the entire annulus; 11. After the liquid is injected, the salvage tool is lowered; the large ball cone seat has an inverted triangle buckle structure that is combined with the salvage tool; the salvage tool is lifted, and the sliding sleeve body is driven by the large ball cone seat to move to the left; when the sliding sleeve body moves to the left end of the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve base, due to the inverted triangle buckle structure of the sliding sleeve body and the cone sleeve base, the sliding sleeve body and the sliding sleeve base are locked and locked, thereby closing the liquid channel; 12. Continue to lift the salvage tool. When the lifting force exceeds the allowable shear force of the large ball shear pin, the pin is sheared off, and the large ball cone seat is brought out of the casing by the salvage tool. The functions of the casing shear deformation tool are fully realized, and the tool passability of the casing is restored.
