[0019] In the integrated process string, the suspension packer 2, the blowout preventer 3, the plugging packer 4, the pressure buffer 5, the pressure opening detonator 6, the perforating gun string 7, the double-fire tail bomb 8 and the dynamic negative pressure device 9 together constitute an integrated tool string, the oil pipe 1 is connected to the integrated tool string, the suspension packer 2 includes a release handle, the suspension packer 2 is connected to the oil pipe 1 through the release handle, and the bottom of the oil pipe 1 is the dynamic negative pressure device 9.
[0020] In actual application, the dynamic negative pressure device 9 is provided with a negative pressure device, and the dynamic negative pressure device 9 absorbs the blasting pressure of the hole patching in real time through the negative pressure device. The pressure buffer 5 can reduce the impact of the blasting pressure of the hole patching. The pressure hole opening detonator 6 is provided with a detonator inside, and the pressure hole opening detonator 6 ignites the perforating gun string 7 through the detonator.
[0021] In the integrated process string, the perforating gun string 4 is arranged with the number of clusters and the number of holes according to the on-site requirements, the hole shape is circular, and the hole arrangement trajectory is a spiral trajectory.
[0022] The present invention also proposes a process flow based on an integrated process string for chemical flooding oil return wells, comprising: Step S1: determine the target well, connect the oil pipe to the well washing tool string, and wash the target well; Step S2: After the well washing process is completed, the oil pipe is connected to the well cleaning tool string, and the target well is cleaned; Step S3: After the well cleaning process is completed, the integrated tool string is assembled on the ground, the oil pipe is connected to the integrated tool string to form a process string, the length of the string is recorded, and the string is lowered; Step S4: Determine that the pipe string of step S3 is lowered into the designated position, open the blowout prevention switch in the forward direction, use the surface pump truck to pressurize the oil pipe, start the pressure hole opening detonator, ignite the perforating gun string through the pressure hole opening detonator, and start the perforating work; Step S5: After completing the perforation repair described in step S4, the pipe string is lifted to the plugging layer, and the plugging packer at the lower end of the plugging layer is set and the hanging packer at the upper end of the plugging layer is set and released by lifting and lowering; Step S6: After confirming that the hanging packer described in step S5 is released successfully, the oil pipe is pulled out, the bottom end of the oil pump is connected to the poke rod, and the poke rod is lowered into the designated position in the well through the oil pipe, and the blowout prevention switch is turned on; Step S7: confirm that the blowout prevention switch is turned on, lower the pump rod string, perform a pump-holding test and a pressure test on the string, and start the pump and put it into production after passing the test.
[0023] It should be noted that the hanging packer 2 can be both set and released. In this process flow, by observing the load changes of the process string, it is possible to determine whether the hanging packer 2 has completed setting and releasing. In actual application, when the process string is set and released, the string is lowered until the load is reduced by not less than 2 tons, and the lowering is stopped. Then the string is lifted up. If the lifting is smooth, it means that the hanging packer is successfully set and released.
[0024] In this process, a preset value is set inside the pressure hole opening detonator 6. When the pressure in the oil pipe reaches the preset value, the perforating gun string 7 can ignite and perforate. In actual application, the oil pipe 1 is pressurized by a ground pump truck. When the oil pipe pressure reaches a certain value, the impact piston in the pressure hole opening detonator hits the detonator, and the detonator enables the perforating gun string 7 to ignite and perforate, and then start the perforation work.
[0025] In the tubing string of this process, the blowout preventer 3 is in the closed state, isolating the high-pressure fluid at the bottom of the well at the lower end of the plugging string, without overflow at the wellhead, and the delivery string is pulled out. The bottom end of the oil pump is connected to the poke rod, and after being lowered into the designated position in the well through the oil pipe 1, the blowout preventer 3 is opened. By observing the change in casing pressure or opening the casing gate to observe whether there is well fluid flowing out, it can be judged whether the blowout preventer 3 is opened successfully. If the casing pressure rises or well fluid flows out when the casing gate is opened, it means that the blowout preventer switch is opened successfully.
[0026] After successful start-up, it will undergo pump-holding and pressure test tests. Only after passing the tests can it be put into production.
[0027] In this process, the tool string is delivered to the perforation repair layer by using the oil pipe, and the surface pump truck is used to start the pressure perforation detonation device through the oil pipe pressure control, ignite the perforating gun string, and complete the perforation repair. The dynamic negative pressure device and pressure buffer can quickly absorb the perforation repair explosion pressure and reduce the impact of the perforation repair explosion pressure on the tool string. After the perforation repair, the pipe string is lifted to the plugging layer, and the plugging packer at the lower end of the plugging layer and the hanging packer at the upper end of the plugging layer are set and released synchronously by lifting and lowering the oil pipe. After the pump is blocked and the pressure test is qualified, it is put into production. In actual application, the process pipe string is both blowout-proof and plugging, and the whole process of lifting and delivering the pipe string and pumping is realized without overflow and fast operation, which reduces one trip to lift and lower the plugging pipe string and saves the cost of well pressure or pressure operation.
[0028] In actual applications, the wellbore pressure of the chemical flooding oil return well is high after the perforation is repaired, which makes it difficult for the conventional operation team to pump in time. In order to overcome the relevant difficulties, an integrated process string and process flow for chemical flooding oil return wells are proposed. The working principle is described in detail below: In this embodiment, first, the oil pipe 1 is connected to the well-washing tool string, and the well is washed. After the well-washing process is completed, the oil pipe 1 is connected to the well-clearing tool string, and the well is cleared.
[0029] In actual application, after the well cleaning process is completed, an integrated tool string is assembled on the ground. The integrated tool string includes a hanging packer 2, a blowout preventer switch 3, a plugging packer 4, a pressure buffer 5, a pressure opening detonator 6, a perforating gun string 7, a double-fire tail bomb 8 and a dynamic negative pressure device 9. The oil pipe 1 is connected to the entire integrated tool string and combined into a process string. The staff needs to record the length of the string and lower the string.
[0030] In this embodiment, it is determined that the pipe string is lowered into the designated position, the blowout preventer 3 is opened in the positive direction, the oil pipe 1 is pressurized by a ground pump truck, and the pressure hole opening blasting device 6 is turned on. After the pressure gauge of the pressure hole opening blasting device 6 reaches the preset value, the perforating gun string 7 is ignited to achieve ignition perforation, and then the perforation repair work is started. The dynamic negative pressure device 9 can quickly absorb the perforation repair explosion pressure, and the pressure buffer 5 can reduce the impact of the perforation repair explosion pressure.
[0031] In actual application, after completing the hole patching, the pipe string is lifted up to the plugging layer, and the plugging packer 4 at the lower end of the plugging layer is set and sealed by lifting and lowering, and the hanging packer 2 at the upper end of the plugging layer is set and released. After confirming that the hanging packer 2 is released successfully, the oil pipe 1 is pulled out, and the bottom end of the oil pump is connected to the poke rod. After lowering it into the designated position in the well through the oil pipe 1, the blowout preventer 3 is opened, and the blowout preventer 3 is confirmed to be opened. The pump rod string is lowered, and the pipe string is subjected to pump-holding and pressure test. After passing the inspection, the pump is started and put into production.
[0032] In this embodiment, after setting and releasing, the tubing string is lowered until the load is reduced by 2 tons, the lowering is stopped, and then the tubing string is lifted up. The lifting is smooth, indicating that the setting and releasing of the suspension packer are successful.
[0033] The present invention provides an integrated process string and process flow for chemical drive oil return wells. The process string can realize an integrated process of perforation repair-plugging-blowout prevention. The perforation of the perforation repair layer is completed by starting a perforating gun string. After the perforation repair, the process string is lifted up and lowered to complete the setting and release of the plugging layer, and the plugging of the plugging layer is realized at the same time. The process string can prevent blowouts and plug, and the whole process of lifting and delivering the string and pumping can be realized without overflow and fast operation, which reduces one trip to lift and lower the plugging string and saves the cost of well killing or pressure operation.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
