[0002] In the process of oil field development, the hand-free water plugging pipe string is often used, which has the following advantages: 1. Avoid replacing the packer during operations such as pump inspection and deepening the pump hanger that are not related to plugging failure, affecting crude oil production and causing unnecessary waste. 2. Avoid the creep of the pipe string caused by the production pump pumping oil, which affects the plugging performance of the packer, shortens the effective plugging time, and increases the workload. It is more reasonable to use the hand-free water plugging pipe string when the water discharge status of the oil layer is clearly understood. At present, there are various types of bridge plugs and packers used for water plugging in production, and the main problems are as follows: 1. Complex structure, high processing cost, difficult assembly, and high assembly failure rate; 2. The lifting and unsealing method is adopted, which has a large unsealing load, makes the operation difficult, or even impossible to unseal, often resulting in major repairs.

[0032] The present invention provides a bidirectional anchoring packer for a well in a normal production process. The connector 16, the center pipe 1, the extension hoop 2, the spring claw 3, the support body 4, the control pin C5 and the lower joint 6 form a locking and releasing mechanism. The upper and lower ends of the center pipe 1 are provided with threads. The inner wall of the connector 16 is stepped, and the middle step is provided with threads. The upper end of the center pipe 1 is connected to the connector 16 through the threads, the extension hoop 2 is connected to the lower end of the center pipe 1 through the threads, and the lower end of the extension hoop 2 is connected to the spring claw 3 through the threads. The support body 4 is sleeved in the spring claw 3 and fixed together through the control pin C5. The spring claw 3 is designed with an outer boss at the lower end, and the lower joint 6 is placed between the outer boss of the spring claw 3 and the step at the end of the extension hoop 2 to form a limiting relationship. Under the limiting condition of the two, the spring claw 3, the extension hoop 2 and the lower joint 6 cannot move up and down relative to each other. The support body 4 can move downward along the inner wall of the spring claw 3 under the action of external force, and the spring claw 3 can be retracted.

[0033] The working process includes the following steps: The first step is to connect a bidirectional anchor packer for a commonly produced well and other supporting tools together. The connection sequence is: oil pipe + a bidirectional anchor packer for a commonly produced well + oil pipe + other supporting tools. The bidirectional anchor packer for a commonly produced well is delivered to the designed production position of the oil well through the tubing string.

[0034] The second step is to connect the ground cement truck and other pumping equipment to the pipe string, inject water pressure into the pipe string, and set a bidirectional anchor packer for common wells. The water pressure enters the piston cavity through the pipe string, the upper joint 25 of the packer, the water inlet channel of the central pipe 1, and the gap between the lock seat 18 and the central pipe 1, pushing the piston A20 and the piston B21 forward. The piston A20 and the piston B21 directly or indirectly transmit the thrust to the control pin B22 through the lock sleeve 19 and the piston B21, cut off the control pin B22, and the piston A20 and the piston B21 continue to move forward, pushing the rubber cylinder 7, the cylinder sleeve 8, and the upper cone 14. The piston A20 and the piston B21 move forward, and then push the slip 12 to bulge outward along the conical surfaces of the upper and lower cones 15, expand, and then close to the casing wall. As the pressure continues to increase, the slip 12 is firmly anchored on the casing wall, and the pistons A20 and B21 continue to squeeze forward to gradually increase the radial size of the rubber cylinder 7, and finally seal the annulus between the oil pipe and the casing to achieve the purpose of plugging. When the pressure increases and the pistons A20 and B21 move forward a certain distance, the internal thread buckle at the upper end of the locking sleeve 19 moves forward to the position of the locking ring 23, engages with the external buckle of the locking ring 23, and locks to prevent the locking sleeve 19 from retreating in the opposite direction, completing the sealing and locking process of the packer.

[0035] The third step is to remove the sealing and pressure equipment, and put two connected sucker rods into the oil pipe string. The sucker rods move downward by free fall and hit the sliding sleeve 29 of the release mechanism, shearing the control pin A30 and moving the sliding sleeve 29 downward. At this time, the return groove 31 on the sliding sleeve 29 is just aligned with the position of the steel ball 27. Then, the pipe string is lifted by the work vehicle, and the steel ball 27 is forced to enter the return groove 31 of the sliding sleeve 29, releasing the lifting and hanging relationship, completing the pipe string release action, and the pipe string above the packer is disengaged, and the delivery pipe string is pulled out.

[0036] The fourth step is to lower the production oil production tubing string and start pumping. During the production process, when the formation pressure below the packer is high, the formation pressure is directly or indirectly transmitted to the lower cone 15 of the packer through the rubber cylinder 7, piston B21, locking sleeve 19, locking ring 23, pin ring 24, locking seat 18, connector 16, center pipe 1, connecting hoop 2, spring claw 3, lower joint 6, etc. The rubber cylinder 7 blocks the water layer on the one hand, and transmits thrust to the lower cone 15 on the other hand, so that the pressure is transmitted to the slip 12 through the conical surface of the lower cone 15, forcing the slip 12 to expand and firmly anchored on the casing wall to prevent the packer from moving.

[0037] The fifth step is that when it is necessary to pull out the lost pipe string after a period of production, the salvage pipe string is lowered, and a special salvage spear is connected to the lower end of the salvage pipe string. After the salvage pipe string is lowered into place, the special salvage spear enters the center pipe 1 of the packer, presses down the support body 4, cuts the control pin C5, and forces the support body 4 to move downward. Then, the pipe string is lifted, and the boss at the end of the spring claw 3 is retracted and moves upward along the inner wall of the lower joint 6. The lifting continues, and the pipe string drives the connector 16, the center pipe 1, and the lock seat 18 to move upward, and the rubber cylinder 7 is released and recovered, and the diameter becomes smaller. At the same time, the outer step at the lower part of the center pipe 1 lifts the upper cone 14 to move upward, pulls the sheath 10 upward, and forces the slip 12 to be recovered and unstuck, thereby realizing unblocking and unstuck.
