[0081] When the present invention is used on site, the following steps are followed:

[0082] Using the fixed pipe string described in Example 1 for layered extrusion and cyclic filling of the sand control pipe string;

[0083] a. Ground connection and entry:

[0084] Connect the pipe string as required, insert the sealing plug 34 into the hinge sealing plate 31, and use the oil pipe to lower the entire pipe string into the designed position in the well;

[0085] b. Setting the pipe string:

[0086] The second steel ball is thrown onto the ball seat 35, and pressure is applied from the wellhead. The liquid pressure enters the cylinder sleeve 9 through the pressure transmission hole 1-2, pushing the setting piston 8 to move leftward, compressing the sealing rubber tube 6 and the upper and lower cones to clamp the hanging slip 5 tightly on the casing wall, and at the same time compressing and expanding the sealing rubber tube 6 to tightly stick to the casing wall to complete the sealing.

[0088] Then, the oil pipe is pressurized to knock off the ball seat 35 and open the channel for filling the bottom;

[0089] c. Filling bottom gravel:

[0090] During filling, if the ground casing gate is closed, mortar enters the oil layer from the hole on the wire plug 36, and the gravel is squeezed on the construction layer with high pressure. If the casing gate is opened, the mortar sprayed from the sealing insert 34 is filtered through the lower sand control pipe 26, and the gravel remains in the annulus outside the lower sand control pipe. The liquid enters through the lower sand control pipe 26, and enters the annulus between the outer punch pipe 15 and the inner punch pipe 16 through the annulus between the third outer pipe and the lower leather cup seat 23, the lower leather cup 22, and the hole on the leather cup center pipe 20, and enters the annulus between the outer punch pipe 15 and the inner punch pipe 16 through the sandwich wall cavity 10 from the connecting hole on the center pipe 5.

[0091] d. Filling the upper layer with gravel:

[0092] A third steel ball is thrown into the ball seat surface at the upper end of the sealing insert 34 to block it so that the liquid will not leak during backwashing. Then, the first steel ball is thrown into the ball seat surface of the sliding sleeve 12, and the sliding sleeve 12 is knocked off by pressure from the oil pipe to expose the filling port 1-1. At this time, the mortar is sprayed out from the filling port 1-1 of the first filling unit 1. If the casing gate is closed, the gravel is squeezed on the construction layer under high pressure. If the ground casing gate is opened, the gravel is filtered and remains outside the upper sand control pipe 17. The liquid passes through the upper sand control pipe 17 through the hole of the leather bowl center pipe 20 into the annulus between the outer flushing pipe 15 and the inner flushing pipe 16, and enters the oil casing annulus from the connecting hole on the center pipe 5 through the sandwich wall cavity 10;

[0093] e. Backwash excess gravel:

[0094] The liquid enters through the connecting hole of the central tube 5, passes through the outer wall cavity 10, the annulus between the flushing tube 15 and the inner flushing tube 16, enters the inner flushing tube 16 through the backwashing holes of the backwashing cup 24 and the cup seat 25, and returns to the ground through the oil pipe to clean up the excess gravel;

[0095] f. Well Completion:

[0096] The pipe column is rotated forward to open the reverse buckle connecting the release hand 4 and the central pipe 5, and the release hand 4, the sliding sleeve 12, the inner conversion 13, the outer conversion 14, the outer flushing pipe 15, the inner flushing pipe 16, the leather cup setting tool 21, the sealing insert 34 and the parts used for connecting them are all taken out;

[0097] At the same time, the hinge sealing plate 31 covers the central channel of the hinge plate seat 29 under the action of the spring 32, and the door closing sleeve 11 also blocks the filling port of the top filling tool 1 under the pull of the convex step at the rear of the outer conversion 14;

[0101] b. Setting the pipe string:

[0102] c. Filling bottom gravel:

[0103] During filling, if the ground casing gate is closed, mortar enters the oil layer from the hole on the wire plug 36, and the gravel is squeezed on the construction layer with high pressure. If the casing gate is opened, the mortar sprayed from the sealing insert 34 is filtered through the lower sand control pipe 26, and the gravel remains in the annulus outside the lower sand control pipe. The liquid enters through the lower sand control pipe 26 of the top isolation and sand control unit, and enters the annulus between the outer flushing pipe 15 and the inner flushing pipe 16 through the annulus between the third outer pipe and the lower leather cup seat 23, the lower leather cup 22, and the hole on the leather cup center pipe 20, and enters the upper oil casing annulus from the connecting hole on the center pipe 5 through the sandwich wall cavity 10;

[0104] d. Filling the upper layer with gravel:

[0105] Throw the third steel ball into the ball seat surface at the upper end of the sealing insert 34 to block it, and then throw the first steel ball into the ball seat surface of the sliding sleeve 12, pressurize the oil pipe, knock out the sliding sleeve 12, and expose the filling port 1-1. At this time, mortar is sprayed out from the filling port 1-1 of the first filling unit 1. If the casing gate is closed, gravel is squeezed on the construction layer under high pressure. If the ground casing gate is opened, the gravel is filtered and remains outside the upper sand control pipe 17. The liquid passes through the upper sand control pipe 17 of the isolation and sand control unit at the top, enters the annulus between the outer flushing pipe 15 and the inner flushing pipe 16 through the hole of the leather bowl center pipe 20, and enters the upper oil casing annulus from the connecting hole on the center pipe 5 through the sandwich wall cavity 10;

[0106] After filling one layer, place appropriate steel balls and repeat the pressure filling steps until the column is filled;

[0107] e. Backwash excess gravel:

[0108] The liquid enters through the connecting hole of the central tube 5, passes through the outer wall cavity 10, the annulus between the flushing tube 15 and the inner flushing tube 16, and the backwash holes of the backwashing leather cup 24 and the leather cup seat 25, and enters the wall cavity 10 of the next first filling unit again, until the backwash hole at the bottom of the well flows into the pipe. The steel balls placed before cannot block the liquid flowing from bottom to top, and finally the liquid returns to the ground through the oil pipe to clean up the excess gravel.
