Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, and in particular to a casing external window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating and a method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the long-term exploration and development of oil and gas resources, there are a large number of depleted wells and abandoned wells in some old oil fields. The wellbore of these depleted wells and abandoned wells has been in service for a long time, and the casing has been corroded and worn. In addition, due to the perforation, well repair, alternating injection and production and other operation measures, the wellbore casing, cement ring, etc. have been damaged to varying degrees, causing the wellbore to lose its sealing, which in turn leads to leakage inside and outside the casing and interlayer channeling. In addition, during the oil and gas production operation, oil, gas, water, etc. will flow to the wellhead, and the surface near the wellhead will be infiltrated and soaked for a long time, resulting in loose soil and liquefaction near the wellhead, and the wellhead may collapse and be buried. Therefore, the complex situation of leakage in old wells will pose a long-term hidden danger to the later injection and production operations of the oil field, resource potential, and the construction of gas storage for depleted oil and gas reservoirs. The safety and environmental protection of old wells is a major problem currently facing old oil fields.
[0003] Effective underground plugging is a reliable way to safely and environmentally manage old wells. However, due to long-term mining, well repair operations, production increase and transformation measures, a large number of old wells currently have casing deformation, casing misalignment, wellhead or underground collapse, fish falling and other complex conditions, resulting in the inability of operating tools and plugging materials used in the plugging process of old wells to re-enter the wellbore of the old wells to form an effective plug. Therefore, it is necessary to drill new rescue wells around the treatment wells (old wells that need to be treated), and to achieve effective connection between the rescue wells and the treatment wells underground, and to establish a communication channel using the rescue wells, and then to achieve complete plugging of the treatment wells underground. To achieve effective connection between the rescue wells and the treatment wells, it is necessary to mill and open windows in the treatment wells in the rescue wells. Summary of the invention

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0029] The inventor found that in the process of connecting the newly drilled rescue well and the treatment well, it is necessary to drill a window in the treatment well in the rescue well to drill through the cement ring and casing of the treatment well. Since the outer surface of the treatment well casing is arc-shaped, there is a large strength difference between the casing and the formation rock, and it is difficult to impose effective constraints on the drill bit in the rescue well, which often causes the milling drill bit to deviate from the treatment well position and drill into the surrounding formation, causing the wellbore connection failure. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new type of casing external window drill bit and method, so that the drill bit can drill a window along the treatment well position to ensure effective connection between the new wellbore and the treatment wellbore, thereby providing an operating channel for the treatment wellbore plugging and safe and environmental protection management.
[0030] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a casing external window drill bit and method capable of directional sandblasting and perforating, which are described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0031] Embodiment 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a casing external window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating, referring to Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, it includes a drill body 1, a rotary valve 2, a fixed valve 3 and an eccentric weight 4; The rotary valve 2 and the fixed valve 3 are arranged vertically inside the drill body 1. The fixed valve 3 is fixed to the drill body 1. The rotary valve 2 can rotate relative to the fixed valve 3. The eccentric weight 4 is fixed to the upper part of the rotary valve 2, and the rotary valve 2 can rotate under the action of the eccentric gravity so that the eccentric weight 4 is placed at a preset weight position; A nozzle 1021 is provided at the lower part of the drill body 1, and the rotary valve 2, the fixed valve 3 and the nozzle 1021 are connected to form a flow channel 5; The bottom of the rotary valve 2 is provided with a first opening 201 ; the bottom is provided with a second opening 301 corresponding to the nozzle 1021 ; the first opening 201 and the second opening 301 can be aligned or at least partially staggered under the rotation of the rotary valve 2 to control the flow area of the flow channel 5 .
[0032] The casing external window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating (hereinafter referred to as the window drill bit) provided in the embodiment of the present invention is mainly used for sandblasting and perforating and external windowing of the treatment well casing in the rescue well. It should be noted that the treatment well in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a vertical well that needs to be treated, and the rescue well refers to a newly drilled wellbore next to the treatment well. Since the rescue well needs to be drilled into the treatment well, the rescue well will have a certain degree of inclination relative to the treatment well, and the inclination angle is generally about 2°-3°. If the window drill bit is lowered into the rescue well, the window drill bit will also be slightly inclined relative to the vertical direction. Therefore, the eccentric counterweight 4 can drive the rotary valve 2 to rotate under the action of gravity, so that the eccentric counterweight 4 is always in the preset counterweight position (the gravity low edge position of the rotary valve, that is, the lowest point position that the eccentric counterweight 4 can reach).
[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the rotary valve 2 and the fixed valve 3 are both hollow cylindrical, the diameter of the fixed valve 3 is larger than that of the rotary valve 2, and the rotary valve 2 can partially extend into the fixed valve 3; the bottom of the rotary valve 2 is provided with a first central hole 203, and the bottom of the fixed valve 3 is provided with a second central hole 304, so that the rotary valve 2, the fixed valve 3 and the nozzle 1021 are connected, and a flow channel 5 is formed in the center of the window drill bit. Since the fixed valve 3 is fixed to the drill bit body 1, the rotation of the rotary valve 2 can change the positional relationship between the first opening 201 and the second opening 301, so that the first opening 201 and the second opening 301 are aligned, partially staggered or completely staggered, and the flow area of the flow channel 5 is changed, so that the pressure drop in the flow channel 5 changes. The second opening 301 and the nozzle 1021 are arranged correspondingly, and the two can be located on the same side of the window drill bit, so that the direction of the nozzle 1021 can be judged according to the positional relationship between the first opening 201 and the second opening 301 and the pressure in the flow channel 5. The nozzle 1021 is used to spray high-pressure jet abrasives to perform sandblasting and perforating on the casing 100 of the treatment well.
[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, a counterweight installation part (not shown in the figure) distributed along the circumference of the side wall of the rotary valve 2 is provided on the upper part of the rotary valve 2, and the eccentric counterweight 4 can be installed on the counterweight installation part at a certain angle. By installing the eccentric counterweight 4 on the counterweight installation part at different angles, the position of the eccentric counterweight 4 relative to the first opening 201 can be adjusted, so that after the window drill bit is lowered into the rescue well 200, the first opening 201 is always aligned with a fixed direction under the action of the gravity of the eccentric counterweight 4, that is, the first opening 201 can be always aligned with the treatment well casing 100 by reasonably setting the installation position of the eccentric counterweight 4.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the window drill bit also includes an elastic member 6 disposed between the eccentric weight 4 and the fixed valve 3, and the elastic member 6 is sleeved on the rotary valve 2 and is in a pre-stressed state under the pressure of the eccentric weight 4. The side wall of the rotary valve 2 is provided with a guide key 202; the side wall of the fixed valve 3 is provided with a guide groove 302, and the upper end is provided with a guide slope 303; due to the supporting effect of the elastic member 6, the guide key 202 and the guide groove 302 and the guide slope 303 are separated when the rotary valve 2 is not under pressure. The rotary valve 2 can compress the elastic member 6 downward under the action of fluid pressure, so that the guide key 202 is stuck in the guide groove 302, or the guide key 202 slides along the guide slope 303. In this embodiment, the types of the elastic member 6 include but are not limited to springs. For details, please refer to the detailed information in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1-Figure 9As shown, the angle between the radius of the guide key 202 and the radius of the first opening 201 is equal to the angle between the radius of the guide groove 302 and the radius of the second opening 301, the lowest point of the guide slope 303 is 180° away from the wire groove (with the center of the fixed valve 3 as the common point), when the first opening 201 is aligned with the second opening 301, the guide key 202 is also aligned with the guide groove 302; when the first opening 201 is staggered with the second opening 301, the guide key 202 is also staggered with the guide groove 302. When the first opening 201 can always be aligned with the treatment well casing 100 in the rescue well 200, if the second opening 301 is not aligned with the first opening 201 (indicating that the nozzle 1021 and the second opening 301 are not aligned with the treatment well casing 100), at this time, the rotary valve 2 compresses the elastic member 6 downward under the pressure of the fluid (such as mud), and the guide key 202 cannot enter the guide groove 302, but after abutting the guide slope 303, it slides along the guide slope 303 to the lowest point of the guide slope 303, so that the first opening 201 and the second opening 301 are completely offset, the flow area of the flow channel 5 is reduced to a minimum, and the pressure in the flow channel 5 increases. Since the first opening 201 can always be aligned with the treatment well casing 100 in the rescue well 200, if the second opening 301 is aligned with the first opening 201 (indicating that the nozzle 1021 and the second opening 301 are aligned with the treatment well casing 100), at this time, the rotary valve 2 compresses the elastic part 6 downward under the fluid pressure, and the guide key 202 enters the guide groove 302, and the pressure in the flow channel 5 will not increase significantly.
[0037] The window drill bit provided in the embodiment of the present invention uses an eccentric weight 4 to control the orientation of the first opening 201, thereby controlling the flow area of the flow channel 5, forming different pressure drops in the flow channel 5, so that it can be known at the wellhead based on the pressure feedback whether the injection direction of the nozzle 1021 is aligned with the treatment well casing 100. Specifically, when the fluid input pressure at the wellhead increases abnormally, it means that the second opening 301 is not aligned with the first opening 201, and the nozzle 1021 is not aligned with the treatment well casing 100; when the fluid input pressure at the wellhead does not increase abnormally, it means that the second opening 301 is aligned with the first opening 201, and the nozzle 1021 is aligned with the treatment well casing 100, and the sandblasting perforation operation can be started. Therefore, the process of implementing directional sandblasting perforation with a window drill bit can include: The installation position of the eccentric weight 4 is set at the wellhead according to the direction of the treatment well relative to the rescue well 200, so that after the window drill bit is lowered into the rescue well 200, the direction of the first opening 201 is always aligned with the treatment well casing 100; Connect the window drill bit to the drill pipe and lower it into the treatment well; Connect the mud pump to the drill pipe, start the mud pump, and obtain the pump pressure changes; Determine whether the pump pressure is abnormally high; If yes, turn off the mud pump, rotate the drill pipe to a preset angle, restart the mud pump, and observe and judge again; If not, the drill pipe is connected to a high-pressure abrasive jet pipeline to perform sandblasting and perforation on the casing 100 of the treatment well.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the first opening 201 is in the shape of a sector with the bottom center of the rotary valve 2 as the vertex, and the second opening 301 is in the shape of a sector with the bottom center of the fixed valve 3 as the vertex. The vertex angle of the first opening 201 can be equal to the vertex angle of the second opening 301, so that when the first opening 201 is aligned with the second opening 301, the flow area of the flow channel 5 is the largest, and when the first opening 201 is completely staggered with the second opening 301, the flow area of the flow channel 5 is the smallest. Obviously, the first opening 201 and the second opening 301 are not limited to the above-mentioned setting mode, as long as the flow area control of the flow channel 5 can be achieved through the cooperation of the two, no limitation is made here.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the eccentric weight 4 includes an inner eccentric weight 402 and an outer eccentric weight 401, wherein the inner eccentric weight 402 is mounted on the inner wall of the rotary valve 2, and the outer eccentric weight 401 is mounted on the outer wall of the rotary valve 2. A bolt 7 is inserted above and below the inner eccentric weight 402 and the outer eccentric weight 401, and the inner eccentric weight 402 and the outer eccentric weight 401 are fixed to the rotary valve 2 by two bolts 7.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the window drill bit also includes a clamping sleeve 8 and a bearing 10 fixed to the inner wall of the drill body 1. The bearing 10 is arranged above the clamping sleeve 8 and abuts against the clamping sleeve 8. The clamping sleeve 8 is placed between the outer eccentric weight 401 and the fixed valve 3. The clamping sleeve 8 is fixed to the drill body 1 by the sleeve top screw 9 to prevent the clamping sleeve 8 from moving. The fixed valve 3 is clamped and fixed inside the drill body 1; the rotary valve 2 is inserted into the clamping sleeve 8, and the outer wall of the rotary valve 2 is in clearance with the inner wall of the clamping sleeve 8, so that it can rotate relative to the clamping sleeve 8. The rotary valve 2 is inserted into the bearing 10 and can rotate relative to the clamping sleeve 8 and the bearing 10; the bearing 10 is placed below the elastic member 6 and is tightly matched with the outer wall of the rotary valve 2 to limit the rotation trajectory of the rotary valve 2 and prevent the rotary valve 2 from tilting inside the drill body 1.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the window drill bit also includes an elastic seat 11, which is arranged between the elastic member 6 and the bearing 10 to support the elastic member 6. The elastic seat 11 is sleeved on the rotary valve 2 and has a clearance fit with the rotary valve 2, so that the rotary valve 2 can rotate relative to the elastic seat 11.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the drill body 1 includes an upper joint 101 and a step drill bit 102 connected up and down. The upper joint 101 is used to connect the drill pipe and is connected to the step drill bit 102 below by threads. The step drill bit 102 is processed into a two-step shape, and a step groove 1022 is provided on the step surface between the two steps. The step groove 1022 is placed above the nozzle 1021. After the sandblasting perforation operation is completed, a jet slit will be formed on the wall of the treatment well casing 100, and the step groove 1022 can be stuck in the jet slit. The window drill bit provided in the embodiment of the present invention can perform window opening and hole expansion after directional sandblasting perforation. Compared with directly milling the casing to open the window, the window drill bit is prevented from directly contacting the outer arc surface of the treatment well casing 100, and the large deflection force generated during the window opening process is prevented from causing the window drill bit to deviate and fail to open the window.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the surface of the step drill bit 102 is coated with a milling material, and a milling material coating surface 12 is formed on the surface of the step drill bit 102 to prevent the step drill bit 102 from being worn. After the sandblasting perforation operation is completed, the turntable can be connected to the drill pipe to drive the window drill bit to rotate, and the milling window expansion is performed from the jet cutting slot of the treatment well casing 100 until the casing outer window opening operation is completed.
[0044] The casing outer window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating provided by the embodiment of the present invention can, after being lowered into the bottom of the rescue well 200, adjust the spray direction of its nozzle 1021 to align with the treatment well casing 100, and can maximize the flow area of the flow channel 5 while aligning the spray direction of the nozzle 1021 with the treatment well casing 100; by connecting the high-pressure abrasive jet pipeline, the treatment well casing 100 can be sandblasted and perforated, thereby forming a slit on the side wall of the treatment well casing 100, so that the stepped groove 1022 can enter the jet slit to grind the treatment well casing 100, thereby constraining the window drill bit, ensuring that the window drill bit continuously drills the treatment well casing 100 along the casing orientation, completing the casing outer window operation, and improving the efficiency and success rate of the casing outer window operation.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, the window drill bit may be designed to be all-metal to improve the high temperature resistance and strength of the window drill bit, thereby increasing the service life of the window drill bit.
[0046] The casing external window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating provided in the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the injection direction of the downhole nozzle 1021 through the mutual cooperation of the rotary valve 2, the eccentric counterweight 4, the elastic member 6 and the fixed valve 3. During the window opening operation, the external window drill bit is constrained by the stepped groove 1022 to prevent the external window drill bit from shifting. The overall structure is simple and clear, the operation is simple, and it is easy to promote and has broad application prospects.
[0047] Embodiment 2 Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a casing external window opening method capable of directional sandblasting perforation, referring to Fig.10 As shown, including: S101: Connect a casing external window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating to a drill pipe and lower the drill bit into a rescue well 200; S102: Connect the drill pipe to the mud pump; S103: Start the mud pump to pump mud into the rescue well 200 and obtain the change of pump pressure; S104: Determine whether the pump pressure is abnormally increased, if so, execute step S105, if not, execute step S106; S105: Turn off the mud pump, rotate the drill pipe to a preset angle, and repeat step S103; S106: Connect the drill pipe to the high-pressure abrasive jet pipeline, and perform sandblasting perforation on the treatment well casing 100, so that the casing outer window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting perforation is stuck in the cut obtained after perforation; S107: Rotate the casing outer window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating to open windows and expand holes in the treatment well casing 100.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, before the casing external window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating (hereinafter referred to as the window drill bit) is connected to the drill pipe and lowered into the rescue well 200, the following steps are also included: Drill a new rescue well 200, and drill the rescue well 200 into the treatment well casing 100, and perform sufficient circulation and well washing on the rescue well 200 to establish a stable and clean bottom well environment; According to the orientation of the casing 100 of the treatment well, the orientation of the eccentric weight 4 in the casing window drill bit capable of directional sandblasting and perforating is set at the wellhead so that the first opening 201 can always be aligned with the casing 100 of the treatment well under the action of eccentric gravity.
[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the eccentric direction of the eccentric counterweight 4 is set according to the orientation of the treatment well casing 100, so that the first opening 201 can always be aligned with the treatment well casing 100 under the action of eccentric gravity, so that after the window drill bit is lowered into the bottom of the well, when the nozzle 1021 is aligned with the orientation of the treatment well casing 100, the eccentric counterweight 4 can use its own eccentric gravity to drive the rotary valve 2 to rotate until the first opening 201 is aligned with the second opening 301, thereby realizing the maximum opening of the flow channel 5 in the window drill bit.
[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the start-up of the mud pump, the pump stroke needs to be gradually increased from a low pump stroke, and the rotary valve 2 slowly descends under the action of the fluid pressure by compressing the spring. At this time, the rotary valve 2 can rotate freely under the action of the eccentric counterweight 4 and always keep the first opening 201 aligned with the treatment well casing 100, ensuring that when the window drill bit rotates to the point where the nozzle 1021 sprays in the direction of the treatment well casing 100, the rotary valve 2 can descend under the action of the fluid pressure until the guide key 202 smoothly enters the guide groove 302, thereby aligning the first opening 201 with the second opening 301, and communicating with the flow channel 5 in the window drill bit. Therefore, the wellhead pump pressure is normal and there is no abnormally high pump pressure. If the spray direction of the nozzle 1021 is not aligned with the treatment well casing 100 at this time, the guide key 202 will contact the guide slope 303 during the downward process of the rotary valve 2 under the action of fluid pressure, and the rotary valve 2 will be forced to rotate under the action of the guide key 202, so that when the rotary valve 2 descends to the fixed valve 3, the first opening 201 and the second opening 301 are staggered with each other, and the flow area of the flow channel 5 in the window drill bit is reduced to a minimum, and then an obvious abnormally high pump pressure will appear at the wellhead. Based on this, when an abnormally high pump pressure occurs, it can be judged that the spray direction of the nozzle 1021 is not aligned with the treatment well casing 100 at this time, and the mud pump needs to be turned off, and the drill pipe is slowly rotated at an equidistant angle at the wellhead, and then the mud pump is started to observe the pump pressure. If the pump pressure is normal, it can be considered that the spray direction of the nozzle 1021 has been aligned with the treatment well casing 100 after the drill pipe is rotated. If it is still abnormally high pump pressure, it is necessary to continue to repeatedly rotate the drill pipe at an equidistant angle, and then start the mud pump to observe the pump pressure until the wellhead pump pressure shows normal pressure.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the nozzle 1021 is sprayed in the direction of the treatment well casing 100, the high-pressure abrasive jet pipeline can be connected to start the sandblasting perforation operation outside the abrasive jet casing. By observing the annular pressure change or the slit time, it can be determined whether the sandblasting perforation operation is completed. A reasonable judgment method can be selected according to the actual situation. For example, if the annular pressure decreases in a short time, it means that a penetrating jet slit has been formed. After the sandblasting perforation operation is completed, the drive rod is driven to rotate, driving the window drill bit to continue to open windows and expand the casing 100 of the treatment well. Due to the transverse slit formed by the abrasive jet outside the casing, the stepped groove 1022 will be stuck in the casing slit, forming a stable constraint on the window drill bit, thereby preventing the window drill bit from deviating during the rotary milling window operation, and completing the one-trip drilling operation of positioning sandblasting perforation and milling window expansion.
[0052] The casing external window opening method with directional sandblasting perforation provided in the embodiment of the present invention can realize accurate positioning of the jet direction, so as to accurately perforate the treatment well casing 100; by cooperating with the stepped groove 1022 and the slit obtained after perforating, the window opening drill bit is constrained during the milling window opening process to prevent the window opening drill bit from deviating, thereby ensuring the smooth completion of the milling window opening and hole expansion operation.

The present disclosure is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope thereof.
