Description

[0002] Heavy oil (also called heavy oil) is an important component of petroleum hydrocarbon energy, with a huge potential several times higher than conventional crude oil resources. In order to increase oil production, heavy oil and super-heavy oil wells are often equipped with horizontal well sections, which have low formation pressure, poor flow performance, high viscosity and high density of heavy oil, low displacement efficiency and low oil sweeping volume efficiency, resulting in insufficient wellbore fluid supply, difficulty in pumping, and a sharp drop in single well production.

[0003] Steam huff and puff technology for heavy oil production is widely used. The existing heavy oil steam production well technology has the following shortcomings and deficiencies: First, after steam is injected, the well needs to be sealed for 3 to 9 days before operations can be started, resulting in a long well occupancy period and low well opening efficiency; second, brine is needed to pressurize the well during operations, which causes cold damage to thermal wells and blocks the near-well formation channels with cold oil; third, during production, sand control tools are first lowered to prevent sand, and after sand control is completed, steam seals are lowered to inject steam, and the process is relatively cumbersome; fourth, when the transfer pumping operation is carried out after self-flowing oil production, it is impossible to fill the formation deficit with sand again; fifth, the sealing performance is poor and the heat energy loss is large.

Embodiment 1

[0033] A method for using a horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device: First, the production tubing string is connected from bottom to top as follows: thread plug 63 + sand control pipe 61 + sealing joint 60 + horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device 59 + thermal sensitive packer 58 + oil drain valve 57 + well washing check valve 56 + compensator 55 + insulation pipe 54 + tubing string 53.

[0034] Secondly, a horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device 59 is lowered to the designed position of the horizontal section of the oil well.

[0035] Third, a high-pressure pump truck is used to pressurize and inject water into a horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device 29 to cut the copper shear nails 34, the upper cone 9 expands the slip 24, and the pressure seat 20 compresses the high-temperature resistant seal 21, causing the high-temperature resistant seal 21 to expand, thereby achieving seat sealing.

[0036] Fourth, continue to pressurize to 20MPa, cut off the lower positioning pin 15, and the ball seat I 29 moves down quickly, the filling channel is opened, and the gravel filling operation can be carried out. Fourth, after the gravel filling is completed, the filling channel is used for backwashing operations, and then the pipe column 53 is lifted up for 20-25 turns to release the hand, and the filling channel is automatically closed. Then connect the steam injection plug 41 to carry out steam injection operations.

[0037] Fifth, a spring claw structure is provided at the front end of the steam injection plug 41. The spring claw is compressed during the insertion into the sealing seat 8. When the steam injection plug 41 is fully inserted into the sealing seat 8, the spring claw expands and is stuck in the retaining ring groove in the sealing seat 8. The steam injection plug 41 is relatively fixed to the sealing seat 8. A heat-inserted brass high-temperature resistant sealing sleeve 40 is provided on the periphery of the steam injection plug 41 to achieve the double sealing effect of metal sealing and high-temperature resistant sealing between the steam injection plug 41 and the sealing seat 8. After the steam injection is completed, the steam injection plug 41 is lifted up. When the tension of the steam injection plug 41 reaches 90-100KN, the spring claw of the steam injection plug 41 contracts and exits the retaining ring groove, and the steam injection plug 41 is lifted out of the sealing seat 8.

[0038] Sixth, when the pumping operation is carried out after the oil production operation, if the formation is depleted again and further gravel filling is required for sand prevention operation, the sand replenishment center pipe 47 only needs to be inserted again into the horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device 59 left in the well, and the secondary gravel filling operation can be carried out. Since the lower part of the horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device has a positioning pin 15, and the lower part of the sand replenishment center pipe 47 is provided with a positioning track groove, when the sand replenishment center pipe 47 is inserted into the horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device 59, the positioning pin 15 automatically slides into the track groove, and the opening of the sand replenishment center pipe 47 is just aligned with the gravel filling port on the horizontal well injection and prevention integrated isolation device 59, and the floating body 14 is pushed downward, so that the filling channel is opened again, and the secondary sand replenishment filling operation is carried out. Embodiment 2

[0039] The design plan for the GDN29P302 well of the Gudao Oilfield is as follows: after the overhaul in March 2023, the wire-wound sand control pipe 61 and the thermal insulation pipe 54 were lowered for closed steam injection with a steam injection pressure of 15MPa, successfully completing the gravel filling, steam injection and sand replenishment tasks.
