Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil production engineering equipment technology, and specifically relates to a large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer. Background Technology

[0002] Packers, a common downhole tool in oil and gas fields, are elastic sealing components that seal the annulus, isolating the producing formation and protecting the casing. They are primarily used in drilling, well testing, stratified oil / water production, water shut-off, and enhanced production operations. Currently, the setting / unsetting of downhole packers used domestically and internationally mainly relies on mechanical force and water pressure differential. The lifting and lowering process often requires the use of workover trucks, pump trucks, and other well operation equipment. These packers have complex overall structures and operating processes, resulting in high labor intensity, high operating costs, limited sealing thickness, low reliability, and susceptibility to failure. The main causes of packer failure include mid-set, automatic unsetting after setting, cross-sealing, and seal failure.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] A large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer can be used for reservoir containment in field construction processes such as formation stratified sampling and testing, stratified oil production, and water plugging. It can also monitor the pressure in the upper, lower, and central channels of the packer. Figure 1 As shown, the packer and the ground control system can be connected via logging cables to achieve remote real-time control of the packer's setting and unsealing from the ground. Its main structure includes a transmission mechanism, an upper pressure measuring mechanism, a lower pressure measuring mechanism, and a cylinder liner assembly.

[0063] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3The large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer of the present invention includes a transmission mechanism and a central tube 48, wherein the transmission mechanism is mounted on the surface of the central tube 48;

[0064] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes an output shaft 13, a double gear 20, an eccentric transmission sleeve 21, a second internal gear 29, and a motor 49. The output shaft 13 is installed inside the motor 49 and is coaxially arranged with the central tube 48. When the motor 49 is working, it drives the output shaft 13 to rotate. The eccentric transmission sleeve 21 is keyed to the output shaft 13 and is coaxially arranged with the central tube 48. When the output shaft 13 rotates, it can drive the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 to rotate. A transmission gear 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the eccentric transmission sleeve 21. The transmission gear 19 is eccentrically arranged with the central tube 48, and the outer surface of the transmission gear 19 meshes with the inner surface of the double gear 20. The eccentric transmission sleeve 21 drives the double gear 20 to rotate through the transmission gear 19. The upper gear of the double gear 20 meshes with the second internal gear 29. The second internal gear 29 meshes with a lead screw 34 and drives the lead screw 34 to rotate. Both the second internal gear 29 and the lead screw 34 are coaxially arranged with the central tube 48.

[0065] It should be noted that in the above structure, the motor 49 drives the output shaft 13 to rotate, and then the output shaft 13 drives the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 to rotate. Since the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 rotates eccentrically, the transmission gear 19 will also rotate eccentrically. Then, the transmission gear 19 drives the double gear 20 to rotate eccentrically, and then the double gear 20 drives the second internal gear 29 to rotate. Finally, the second internal gear 29 drives the lead screw 34 to rotate.

[0066] It should be further explained that the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer of the present invention has a large-diameter central tube 48, which provides a channel for delivering measurement and adjustment instruments, dropping balls, and transferring fluids.

[0067] Furthermore, in Figure 2 In the motor 49, the rotor 491 of the motor 49 is connected to the output shaft 13 by a first mounting key 12. A second nut 11 is provided on the outside of the first mounting key 12 to block the first mounting key 12. The second nut 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 13. In addition, a second mounting key 18 is installed between the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 and the output shaft 13. A third nut 17 is provided on the outside of the second mounting key 18. The third nut 17 is fixedly connected to the eccentric transmission sleeve 21.

[0068] It should be noted that the function of the second nut 11 is to block the first mounting key 12. The first mounting key 12 fixes the rotor 491 of the motor 49 to the output shaft 13, thereby driving the output shaft 13 to rotate. The function of the third nut 17 is to block the second mounting key 18.

[0069] Furthermore, in Figure 2In the middle, the inner wall of the third cylinder liner 22 is keyed to the first internal gear 24, and the first internal gear 24 meshes with the lower gear of the double gear 20. Specifically, a third mounting key 23 is installed between the third cylinder liner 22 and the first internal gear 24. One end of the third mounting key 23 is fixedly connected to the third cylinder liner 22, and the other end is embedded in the outer surface of the first internal gear 24.

[0070] It should be noted that the function of the third mounting key 23 is to lock the first internal gear 24 so that it will not rotate. When the double gear 20 rotates, its lower gear can move along the tooth surface of the first internal gear 24.

[0071] It should be noted that a positioning sleeve 25 can also be installed between the upper and lower gears of the double gear 20. The purpose of this is that the double gear 20 has an installation gap along the central tube 48. The positioning sleeve 25 can fill the installation gap to prevent the double gear 20 from moving axially.

[0072] It needs to be further explained that, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the second internal gear 29 can be designed as a hollow structure. In order to make the second internal gear 29 rotate more smoothly while ensuring strength, a third bearing 26, a bearing sleeve 27 and a spacer sleeve 28 can be installed in the second internal gear 29. The bearing sleeve 27 is installed on the central tube 48, and then two third bearings 26 are installed between the bearing sleeve 27 and the second internal gear 29. Finally, two spacer sleeves 28 are installed between the two third bearings 26.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lead screw 34 includes a gear end 341 and a lead screw end 342. The gear end 341 meshes with the second internal gear 29, and the lead screw end 342 is threaded with a nut 33.

[0074] It should be noted that the gear end 341 can also be designed as a hollow structure. In order to ensure strength and smoother rotation, a support 30 and a fourth bearing 31 can be installed inside the gear end 341. The support 30 is coaxially arranged with the central tube 48 and has shoulders on both sides. The fourth bearing 31 is installed between the front shoulder of the support 30 and the gear end 341, and the rear shoulder abuts against the third bearing 26.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer also includes a rubber sleeve shaft 35, which is coaxially arranged with the central tube 48. The rubber sleeve shaft 35 has a stepped cylindrical structure, with one end fixedly sleeved on the surface of the nut 33, and the nut 33 is blocked axially by a shoulder.

[0076] It should be noted that when the lead screw 34 rotates, it can drive the nut 33 to axially press the rubber sleeve shaft 35 along the central tube 48. In addition, the larger diameter end of the rubber sleeve shaft 35 is fitted onto the nut 33, locking the rotation of the nut 33.

[0077] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, one end of the rubber sleeve shaft 35 is located inside the fourth cylinder liner 32, and the other end extends to the outside of the fourth cylinder liner 32. A lower pressure ring 36, a rubber sleeve 37, and an upper pressure ring 38 are coaxially arranged on the outer surface of the rubber sleeve shaft 35 in sequence. The lower pressure ring 36 abuts against the fourth cylinder liner 32 and is fixedly connected to the rubber sleeve shaft 35. The rubber sleeve 37 abuts against the lower pressure ring 36 and is slidably connected to the rubber sleeve shaft 35. The upper pressure ring 38 abuts against the lower pressure ring 36 and is slidably connected to the rubber sleeve shaft 35. Moreover, a fourth mounting key 39 is keyed to the anti-rotation sleeve 47 on the inner wall of the rubber sleeve shaft 35. One end of the fourth mounting key 39 is embedded in the anti-rotation sleeve 47, and the other end is slidably connected to the rubber sleeve shaft 35.

[0078] It should be noted that when the rubber sleeve shaft 35 moves to the side of the lower pressure ring 36, it will squeeze the lower pressure ring 36, and then the lower pressure ring 36 will squeeze the rubber sleeve 37. In addition, the anti-rotation sleeve 47 is fixed differently, so that the rubber sleeve shaft 35 cannot rotate under the action of the nut 33, but slides along the central tube 48 axially.

[0079] It should be further noted that a second sealing ring 46 is also provided between the upper pressure ring 38 and the upper connector 40.

[0080] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 It is known that a cylinder liner assembly is provided on the outside of the transmission mechanism. The cylinder liner assembly includes a first cylinder liner 6, a first connecting sleeve 10, a second cylinder liner 15, a second connecting sleeve 16, a third cylinder liner 22, and a fourth cylinder liner 32. The first connecting sleeve 10 is annular, and its two ends overlap with the first cylinder liner 6 and the second cylinder liner 15, respectively. The second connecting sleeve 16 is annular, and its two ends overlap with the second cylinder liner 15 and the third cylinder liner 22, respectively. The end of the third cylinder liner 22 away from the second cylinder liner 15 overlaps with the fourth cylinder liner 32.

[0081] Furthermore, a first bearing 9 is installed on the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve 10;

[0082] A second bearing 14 is installed on the inner wall of the second connecting sleeve 16;

[0083] The inner rings of the first bearing 9 and the second bearing 14 are both coaxially mounted on the surface of the output shaft 13.

[0084] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer also includes an upper pressure measuring mechanism, which includes an upper connector 40 and an upper short connector 43. The upper connector 40 overlaps with the upper pressure ring 38 and is fixedly sleeved on the upper short connector 43. The upper short connector 43 is fixedly sleeved on the central tube 48. In addition, a second pressure sensor 41 and a third pressure sensor 42 are installed on the end face of the upper short connector 43 facing the anti-rotation sleeve 47.

[0085] It should be noted that the second pressure sensor 41 is used to measure the liquid pressure outside the packer, and the third pressure sensor 42 is used to measure the liquid pressure at the center tube 48.

[0086] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer also includes a lower pressure testing mechanism, which includes a lower short connector 1, a sealing tube 2, and a first nut 3. The lower short connector 1 is fixedly sleeved on the sealing tube 2 and overlaps with the first cylinder liner 6. The first nut 3 is threadedly connected to the lower short connector 1 and abuts against the first cylinder liner 6. The sealing tube 2 is fixedly connected to the central tube 48. A first pressure sensor 5 is installed on the end face of the lower short connector 1 facing the central tube 48.

[0087] It should be noted that, Figure 5 In the middle, a first sealing ring 4 is also provided between the lower short-circuit 1 and the first cylinder liner 6 to improve the sealing performance.

[0088] Furthermore, both the lower shorting 1 and the upper shorting 43 have through holes on their end faces. A sealing assembly 44 is installed in the through hole, and a threaded sleeve 45 is embedded in the inner wall. In addition, a circuit board 7 is installed on the surface of the sealing tube 2. The circuit board 7 is connected to a wire 8, which is connected to the first pressure sensor 5, the second pressure sensor 41, the third pressure sensor 42, the sealing assembly 44, and the motor 49, respectively.

[0089] It should be noted that circuit board 7 can receive external information and then control the operation of motor 49. Secondly, circuit board 7 can power the first pressure sensor 5, the second pressure sensor 41 and the third pressure sensor 42.

[0090] This invention relates to a large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer, the operation sequence of which is as follows:

[0091] 1. Connect the packers and other tools in a series on the ground according to the construction design;

[0092] 2. During operation, the packer is lowered into the wellbore to the designed depth along with the tool string. The command is sent through the ground control system, the internal motor 49 of the intelligent packer starts, the compression rubber sleeve 37 sets the seal, and the upper and lower pressures and internal pressure are self-monitored.

[0093] 3. After the operation is completed, the ground sends another command, the motor 49 inside the packer reverses, the rubber sleeve 37 elastically recovers, and the packing is successfully released;

[0094] 4. The packer can be carried along with the tool string to the next stage of operation or lifted to the ground.

[0095] The sealing process of this invention is as follows:

[0096] The upper connector 40 is short-circuited to the upper tool (not shown in the figure). After the cable is lowered to the set position, the signal is transmitted to the circuit board 7 through the control program of the ground control box. The circuit board 7 executes the program to control the motor 49 to rotate forward, which drives the output shaft 13 to rotate. The second mounting key 18 drives the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 drives the differential double gear 20 to rotate, which then transmits to the second internal gear 29, and then to the lead screw 34. The lead screw 34 rotates and transmits the torque to the nut 33. The nut 33 drives the rubber sleeve shaft 35 to rotate clockwise, and transmits the force to the rubber sleeve 37 through the lower pressure ring 36. The rubber sleeve 37 compresses and sets the seal.

[0097] The unsealing process of this invention is as follows:

[0098] The upper connector 40 is short-circuited to the upper tool (not shown in the figure). After the cable is lowered into the well to the set position, the signal is transmitted to the circuit board 7 through the control program of the ground control box. The circuit board 7 executes the program to control the motor 49 to reverse, which drives the output shaft 13 to rotate. The second mounting key 18 drives the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric transmission sleeve 21 drives the differential double gear 20 to rotate, which then transmits to the second internal gear 29, and then to the lead screw 34. The lead screw 34 rotates and transmits the torque to the nut 33. The nut 33 drives the rubber sleeve shaft 35 to rotate to the left, and transmits the force to the rubber sleeve 37 through the lower pressure ring 36. The rubber sleeve 37 is then unsealed.

[0099] The pressure measurement process of this invention is as follows:

[0100] The first pressure sensor 5 is installed on the lower short circuit 1. The lower short circuit 1 has a liquid passage that connects to the outer cavity and measures the external pressure at the lower end of the rubber cylinder 37.

[0101] The second pressure sensor 41 is installed on the upper short circuit 43. The upper short circuit 43 has a liquid passage that connects to the outer cavity and measures the external pressure at the upper end of the glue cylinder 37.

[0102] The third pressure sensor 42 is installed on the upper shorting circuit 43. The upper shorting circuit 43 has an internal liquid passage that connects to the inner cavity and measures the center pressure of the central tube 48.

[0103] It should be noted that the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer of the present invention can be used to control the single-layer packing of each oil layer in the well in real time, and can also monitor the pressure data of the packing layer and the pressure data of the central channel.

[0104] It should be noted that the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer of the present invention is generally composed of multiple intelligent packers connected by a continuous cable pipe, which can realize the layered production, layered testing and sampling of oil wells. This is of great significance for accurately grasping development data such as pressure and fluid parameters of each reservoir.

[0105] It should be noted that the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer of the present invention has high identification accuracy, enabling precise identification of differential pressure load and unsealing load after packer setting; high control accuracy, with precise control of the compression distance of the rubber sleeve 37; and strong human-machine interaction, enabling direct monitoring of the working status of the electric packer from the ground.

[0106] It should be further explained that the large-diameter downhole cable-controlled annular packer of the present invention is a closed-loop control with a high degree of intelligence. When the packer is set, current feedback is used first. When the current reaches the allowable current value for compression of the rubber sleeve 37, it is initially judged that the packer has been successfully set. At the same time, considering the difference in inner diameter of different casings, position feedback is also provided, that is, the distance that the packer should compress when sealing a specified inner diameter of the casing. This serves as a safety basis for judging the successful setting of the packer and plays a role in protecting the packer rubber sleeve 37.

[0107] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
