A ball-dropping plugging device for downhole pulsating hydraulic fracturing and its construction method

Abstract

This invention relates to a ball-operated plugging device for downhole pulsating hydraulic fracturing, comprising a main body assembly. A conical valve seat is disposed in the middle of the main body assembly, and an umbrella-shaped valve is slidably connected within the conical valve seat. The umbrella-shaped valve includes a valve head boss and a valve stem. A self-excited oscillation chamber is also provided at the bottom of the conical valve seat. A spring support seat is disposed below the self-excited oscillation chamber, with a central circular hole at the geometric center of the spring support seat. A spring is placed on the spring support seat, and the top of the spring contacts the valve head boss of the umbrella-shaped valve. A through-hole flow channel is provided in the middle of the umbrella-shaped valve, with its upper and lower ends communicating with cavity A and cavity B, respectively. The valve stem of the umbrella-shaped valve passes through the spring, and its bottom is inserted into the central circular hole of the spring support seat. A spherical groove is provided at the top of the umbrella-shaped valve for placing a soluble plugging ball. This invention can adjust the pressure variation of the pulsating fluid at the bottom of the well during construction.
