Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of casing, and more specifically to a special threaded casing with a nano-coating, high-strength, anti-sticking and anti-eccentric wear, and special infiltration layer treatment. Background Art
[0002] Oil casing is a steel pipe used to support the well wall of oil and gas wells to ensure that the drilling process and subsequent oil and gas production process can proceed smoothly. It is a key part of oil drilling equipment and must withstand huge pressure, tension and various complex formation forces.
[0003] There are mainly three technical requirements:
[0004] 1. Strength requirements: Oil casing needs to have sufficient strength to withstand the pressure of the well wall, the collapse pressure of the formation, and the tensile and compressive forces during the drilling process. For example, in deep or ultra-deep wells, the casing must withstand internal pressure and external extrusion pressure of up to tens of megapascals or even hundreds of megapascals, so its mechanical performance indicators such as yield strength and tensile strength must meet the corresponding requirements.
[0005] 2. Anti-corrosion performance: Due to the complex environment of oil and gas wells, oil casing may be exposed to various corrosive media, such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, formation water, etc. Hydrogen sulfide can cause sulfide stress corrosion cracking of steel, carbon dioxide can cause carbonic acid corrosion, and formation water may contain various salts, leading to electrochemical corrosion. Therefore, oil casing needs to have good corrosion resistance, which can be achieved by using corrosion-resistant alloy materials or surface treatment.
[0006] 3. Sealing requirements: The connection between casings and the connection between casings and wellhead devices must ensure good sealing. If the sealing is not good, oil and gas will leak, which will not only waste resources, but also bring safety hazards and environmental pollution. Usually, special threaded connection methods are used, such as API standard threads or specially designed airtight threads to ensure the sealing effect.
[0007] API standard threads have the following defects:
[0008] 1. Defects in sealing performance
[0009] 1.1 Thread gap problem: After API standard threads are connected, there are certain gaps due to the characteristics of their thread structure. Under high pressure, such as in deep oil well mining, oil and gas may leak through these gaps. For example, when the internal pressure of the oil well reaches tens of MPa, the risk of such leakage will increase significantly. These gaps are caused by the thread processing accuracy and matching method. The design of API threads focuses more on connection strength and processing convenience, and does not have a very tight sealing design like some special airtight threads.
[0010] 1.2 Insufficient sealing durability: As the use time of oil wells increases, the underground environment becomes complex and changeable, such as temperature fluctuations, stratum movement and other factors, which will cause the sealing performance of API standard threads to gradually decline. For example, in some oil wells in areas with relatively active geological activities, slight movement of the stratum may loosen the threads of the casing connection, thereby destroying the original sealing structure.
[0011] 2. Defects in connection strength
[0012] 2.1 Stress concentration problem: API standard threads are prone to stress concentration at the root and top. When subjected to large tension or pressure, the stress in these parts may exceed the yield strength of the material, causing thread damage. For example, during the process of drilling, when the casing is subjected to large tensile force, stress concentration at the root of the thread may cause cracks to form and expand, thereby affecting the integrity of the casing connection.
[0013] 2.2 Limited torsion resistance: During the installation process, the casing needs to be connected by threaded rotation. API standard threads have certain limitations in torsion resistance. When excessive torque is applied, thread slippage may occur. For example, if the torque is not precisely controlled during installation, when the torque exceeds a certain limit, the friction between the threads cannot be tolerated, which will cause slippage and make the casing connection fail.
[0014] 3. Defects in processing and quality control
[0015] 3.1 Differences in processing accuracy affect fit: When different processing manufacturers produce API standard threaded casing, due to differences in equipment accuracy, process level and other factors, there may be certain deviations in thread size and shape. This deviation will affect the fit accuracy between casings and reduce the connection quality.
[0016] 3.2 Quality inspection is difficult: Due to the structural characteristics of API standard threads, it is difficult to detect some internal defects, such as micro cracks and internal stress concentration. Traditional inspection methods may not be able to fully detect these potential quality problems. For example, it is difficult to find micro cracks inside the root of the thread using conventional appearance inspections. Advanced non-destructive testing technologies such as ultrasonic testing are required, but these technologies are expensive to apply and complex to operate.
[0017] In summary, we propose a special threaded casing with a nano-coating, high strength, anti-galling and anti-eccentric wear special infiltration layer treatment. Summary of the invention
[0018] Technical issues to be solved
[0019] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a special threaded casing with a nano-coating, high-strength, anti-galling and anti-eccentric wear special infiltration layer treatment. The present invention provides a high-performance air-tight threaded casing with a nano-coating, high-strength, anti-galling and anti-eccentric wear special infiltration layer treatment, which solves a series of problems such as the casing's use strength, high-performance sealing requirements for threaded joints, casing corrosion resistance and eccentric wear inside the pipe.
[0020] Technical Solution
[0021] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0022] The special threaded casing with nano coating, high strength, anti-sticking and anti-eccentric wear, special infiltration layer treatment, includes a casing and a casing coupling. The left and right sides of the casing coupling are provided with high-performance airtight sealing threads. The casing and the casing coupling are threadedly connected. The casing coupling is fixedly connected with a torque shoulder. The side end of the casing coupling is fixedly connected with an RFID smart chip, and the RFID smart chip is located on the casing. The casing is sprayed with an anti-oil and anti-corrosion coating, and the inner end face of the casing near the coupling is provided with a traceability QR code.
[0023] As a preferred solution of the present invention, both ends of the inner wall surface of the casing coupling are expanded, and the outer wall surface of the connecting end of the casing and the casing coupling is contracted.
[0024] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the coating includes a tube inner permeation layer thickness and a tube inner wall surface permeation layer thickness, and the tube inner permeation layer thickness is arranged inside the tube inner wall surface permeation layer thickness.
[0025] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a clamping groove is provided on both sides of the left and right sides of the torque shoulder, a groove is provided on the sleeve, a spring is fixedly connected in the groove, a clamping block is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring, the end of the clamping block is semicircular, and the clamping block is clamped in the clamping groove.
[0026] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the threaded connection of the sleeve coupling is provided with an external stopper, a magnet block is embedded in the external stopper, the position of the magnet block corresponds to that of the clamping block, one end of the clamping block close to the clamping slot is made of a magnet, and the ends of the magnet block and the clamping block close to each other are magnets with the same poles.
[0027] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a plurality of groups of fitting blocks are installed at the end of the external stopper, and the fitting blocks are kept in fit with the outer wall surface of the sleeve.
[0028] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a thread groove is provided at the side end of the casing coupling, a threaded ring is threadedly connected in the thread groove, a rubber ring block is fixedly connected in the center position of the threaded ring, the rubber ring block is wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant rubber, and the cross-section of the rubber ring block is triangular.
[0029] Beneficial Effects
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0031] (1) In this solution, the casing coupling is flush with the torque shoulder. The casing coupling adopts a high-performance air-tight thread (DSP-T6) structure to increase the contact between the torque shoulder and the pipe end. The main sealing surfaces of the inner and outer joints produce a conical sealing effect (angle of 20 degrees) through interference fit, and the auxiliary sealing surface produces a contact seal (angle of -15 degrees). When the joint is in use, the inner wall of the entire pipe body is completely flush, ensuring that the inner wall of the casing will not be impact-worn when the subsequent oil pipe is lowered and replaced.
[0032] (2) In this solution, when the casing coupling is rotated so that the casing coupling and the casing thread are connected together, the clamping block will move toward the inner side of the groove due to the squeezing force of the inner wall of the casing. When the position of the clamping block corresponds to the slot, the rebound force of the spring will push the clamping block into the inside of the slot, completing the clamping connection between the two and further increasing the stability of the connection between the two.
[0033] (3) In this solution, when the casing is connected to the casing coupling, the external stopper is rotated to move the external stopper to the side close to the casing. At this time, the external stopper will cover the connection between the casing and the casing coupling to protect the connection area between the two. When disassembly is required, the external stopper is rotated to move the magnet block to the area corresponding to the position of the card block. At this time, due to the magnetic force, the two correspond to each other and the card block will be repelled into the inside of the groove, causing the card block and the card slot to lose the card connection state. At this time, the casing and the casing coupling are disassembled for easy disassembly.
[0034] (4) In this scheme, the nano-coating has a high-strength anti-sticking and anti-biased wear special infiltration layer to treat a high-performance airtight threaded casing. When the other end of the casing coupling is connected to the pipeline, the threaded ring can be rotated to adjust the length of the connection end between the casing coupling and the external pipeline, so as to be suitable for different environments. At the same time, a deformable rubber ring block is added. When the external pipeline is connected to the casing coupling, the rubber ring block will remain in contact with the outer wall of the external pipeline, further increasing the sealing between the two.
