TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of oil and gas field drilling equipment, and particularly relates to a timed setting whipstock. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of windowing sidetracking of an old wellbore of an oil and gas field, a whipstock needs to be set at the casing windowing position to facilitate windowing sidetracking. To improve efficiency, it is the best choice to realize the running, setting, windowing and window repairing of the whipstock in one trip. The current whipstock with such a function adopts a reversing groove structure and is set by being pulled up and put down. However, it is inevitable to pull up and put down to remove the sticking of the drill string during normal running of the drill string. Therefore, the whipstock is prone to be set by mistake, which leads to damage of the slips and is not conducive to secondary setting. In addition, with the influence of the hole inclination and the hole depth, the shear pin of the upper connection milling cone of the whipstock is less sensitive to the drilling pressure and the friction resistance, which makes it difficult for the driller to determine whether the whipstock is set and whether the shear pin is sheared on the drilling platform, and large difficulties are caused.
[0003] A timed setting whipstock is disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216043526U, which uses powder setting. The powder combustion boosts the upward movement of the lower slip seat, the lower slip seat pushes the slip to move upward along the upper slope of the upper slip seat, and the slip is simultaneously radially stretched and bites into the inner wall of the casing to achieve setting. However, using powder as a boost has the following risks:
[0004] (1) The success rate of using powder as a boost is not high.
[0005] (2) After each use, the setting tool needs to be disassembled and reconditioned and filled with powder, which requires high operation skills and a complicated procedure. SUMMARY

[0010] When the downhole liquid enters the barrel and the controller commands the driving member to start, the slip moves upward along the outer wall of the barrel to make all the slips radially expand and bite the casing.

[0014] When the piston rod moves upward, the piston rod drives the slips to move upward.
[0015] A spring is arranged between each slip and the guide, one end of the spring is connected to the slip and the other end is connected to the guide.
[0016] The lower end of the cylinder is sealingly inserted into the hollow cavity of the barrel, the piston divides the inner cavity of the cylinder into a rod cavity and a rodless cavity, the downhole fluid from the hollow cavity of the barrel is stored in the rod cavity to change the fluid pressure of the rod cavity and drive the piston to move.
[0017] A plurality of fixed pins are arranged in the rod cavity, one end of each fixed pin is embedded in the cylinder wall of the cylinder and the other end abuts against the piston rod.

[0019] The downhole fluid entering the hollow cavity of the barrel through the fluid delivery channel flows into the rod cavity of the cylinder in sequence through the first fluid pipeline and the second fluid pipeline, because the internal and external pressure difference of the rod cavity gradually increases, the fixed pins loosen and disengage from the piston rod, the piston drives the piston rod to move upward, the piston rod stretches upward to drive the guide to move upward, and the slip expands radially to engage the casing while moving upward.
[0020] The controller comprises an uphole part and a downhole part, wherein the uphole part is a PLC, and the downhole part comprises a gyroscope and a battery pack installed in the hollow cavity of the guide section;

[0044] The present embodiment relates to a time setting packer applied to a downhole casing, please refer to Figure 1 , at least comprising a guide section 10 and a setting section 20 laid and connected in up and down directions, both of which form a structure with a hollow cavity, and a driving member is packaged in the hollow cavity, which is boosted by a downhole liquid to drive the setting section 20 to expand radially and engage the casing.
[0045] Compared with the traditional driving force of gunpowder, the present embodiment uses downhole liquid as the driving force, and the deeper the depth of the downhole liquid, the greater the fluid pressure, and the stronger the setting effect.

As the internal and external pressure difference of the rod cavity gradually increases, the fixed pin 26 is loosened and separated from the piston rod 211, the piston 214 drives the piston rod 211 to move upward, the piston rod 211 drives the whipstock 22 to move upward, and the slip 23 expands radially and clamps the casing while moving upward, thereby achieving setting.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 Specifically, the timing switch valve 27 includes a fluid switch valve 273, an electromagnetic control valve 274, and a control valve core 275. The fluid switch valve 273 is connected to the electromagnetic control valve 274 by threads, and the control valve core 275 passes through the electromagnetic control valve 274 and the fluid switch valve 273. The second fluid line 272 connects the rod cavity and the fluid switch valve 273, and the first fluid line 271 connects the fluid switch valve 273 and the hollow cavity of the barrel 21.

[0075] In use, the timed setting whipstock needs to be assembled first, and then set, which will be described in detail below.
[0076] The assembly process of the timed setting whipstock is as follows:
[0077] (1) First, install each O-ring and a fixed pin 26 in the cylinder barrel 212, then slowly pass the piston rod 211 through the rod cavity of the cylinder barrel 212, screw the piston 214 with the installed O-ring onto the piston rod 211, and then slowly pull it into the bottom of the cylinder barrel 212.
[0078] (2) Align the fixed pin 26 with the specified position of the piston rod 211, and push the fixed pin 26 from outside to inside to fix the piston rod 211.
[0079] (3) Install the threaded sealing joint, the first fluid line 271 and the second fluid line 272 in the space formed by the hollow cavity section of the barrel 21 and the hollow cavity of the guide 10, then slowly sleeve the bottom of the upper barrel into the upper part of the cylinder barrel 212, rotate the cylinder barrel 212 and the piston 214, piston rod 211 assembly after completely sleeving, ensure the threaded connection between the upper barrel and the cylinder barrel 212, then connect the second fluid line 272 with the cylinder barrel 212.
[0080] (4) Connect the fluid switch valve 273 with the upper barrel and the first fluid line 271, then connect the electromagnetic control valve 274 and the control valve core 275 with the fluid switch valve 273, then pass the lower barrel through the piston rod 211 and connect it with the upper barrel.
[0081] (5) Then connect the gas pump cavity with the lower half of the first fluid line 271, sleeve the battery pack 32 on the upper part of the gas pump cavity and fix it on the upper end of the cylinder barrel 212, at the same time, connect the battery pack 32 with the electromagnetic control valve 274, then fix the gyroscope 31 on the upper part of the gas pump cavity.
[0082] (6) Screw the signal receiving amplifier 40 into the housing of the guide 10, then connect the housing of the guide 10 with the upper barrel, then sleeve the lower barrel into the piston rod 211 and connect it with the upper barrel, then use the rotating pin 25 and the rotating pin nut to fix the slips 23 around the whipstock 22, then connect the whipstock 22 with the piston rod 211, then install the spring 24, fix the slips 23 in the vertical direction, and make the slips 23 tightly adhere to the outside of the lower barrel.
[0083] The setting process of the timing setting whipstock is as follows:
[0084] i. Use the electromagnetic control valve 274 to set the timing in advance, then use the corresponding pipe column to lower the assembled timing setting whipstock to the designated position downhole, rotate the timing setting whipstock to the designated orientation, the gyroscope 31 transmits signals through the signal receiving amplifier 40, then use the controller on the well to transmit the signals to the signal receiving amplifier 40, and then to the electromagnetic control valve 274.
[0085] ii. Or after waiting for a specified time, the current from the battery pack 32 to the electromagnetic control valve 274 rapidly increases, the electromagnetic control valve 274 lifts the control valve core 275, opens the fluid switch valve 273, and the high-pressure fluid downhole flows from the upper barrel, through the threaded sealing joint, the first fluid line 271, the fluid switch valve 273, the second fluid line 272 to the rod cavity of the piston pump in turn.
[0086] ⅲ. With the fluid pressure in the piston pump rod cavity gradually increasing, the fixed pin 26 is out of contact with the piston rod 211 due to the difference between the internal and external forces, and the high-pressure fluid in the piston pump rod cavity pushes the piston 214 to move upward, while driving the piston rod 211 to move upward, the piston rod 211 is stretched upward to drive the guide slope 22 to move upward, and the slip 23 is guided by the outer side wall surface of the lower cylinder, so that the slip 23 expands outward while moving upward, when the slip 23 contacts the well wall, the piston 214 stops moving upward, and the timing packer whipstock completes the setting.
[0087] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific embodiments for implementing the present application, and in actual application, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
