Description

Technical Field

[0002] As an extension and development of horizontal well technology, branch well technology can increase the oil leakage area of ​​a single well, effectively tap the potential of remaining oil, increase recovery rate, and improve the effect of oil field development. It has become an advanced technology for oil and gas field development. The wellbore connection of the five-level branch well technology has good sealing performance and is more adaptable than the four-level branch well technology. It provides an effective means for the continuous, economical and effective development of reservoirs that are prone to water and sand, layered reservoirs, marginal reservoirs, fault block reservoirs and mid- and late-stage reservoirs. Five-level branch wells often use a double-tube completion method to achieve the sealing of the wellbore connection part based on the four-level branch well system. The key technology lies in how to make the main wellbore production string and the branch wellbore production string enter the corresponding main wellbore and branch wellbore at the same time.

[0051] Figure 4a to Figure 4c The structure of the double-tube guide tool 4 according to the present invention is shown. The double-tube guide tool 4 includes a guide body 40, a guide sleeve 42 and a locking mechanism 480.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the guide body 40 includes an upper joint 41 and a lower joint 45 that are coaxially fixedly connected. In this embodiment, the upper joint 41 and the lower joint 45 are connected together by welding.

[0053] An upper first channel 49 and an upper second channel 43 are provided in the upper joint 41 . The upper first channel 49 and the upper second channel 43 are connected to both axial ends of the upper joint 41 . The central axes of the upper first channel 49 and the upper second channel 43 are parallel to the central axis of the upper joint 41 .

[0054] A lower first passage 46 and a lower second passage 44 are provided in the lower joint 45 .

[0055] The upper end of the lower first channel 46 is connected to the upper first channel 49 to form the first channel of the guide body 40. The lower end of the lower first channel 46 is connected to the lower end of the lower joint 45, thereby connecting to the first branch wellbore 21.

[0056] The upper end of the lower second channel 44 is in communication with the upper second channel 43 to form the second channel of the guide body 40. The lower end of the lower second channel 44 is in communication with the side wall of the lower joint 45, thereby communicating with the second branch wellbore 23.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the first channel and the second channel are both configured as cylindrical structures, which are adapted to the size of the oil pipe.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the lower joint 45 is configured as a three-section columnar structure, that is, the lower joint 45 is divided into three parts from top to bottom, the upper part and the middle part of the lower joint 45 are configured as cylindrical shapes, and the lower part of the lower joint 45 is configured as a truncated cone shape. The upper diameter of the lower joint 45 is greater than the middle diameter, and the upper end diameter of the lower joint 45 is equal to the middle diameter. The lower end of the lower second channel 44 is connected to the middle side wall of the lower joint 45.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the central axes of the first channel, the second channel and the guide body 40 are all located on the same plane. The central axis of the lower first channel 46 and the central axis of the lower joint 45 are at an angle of 1° to 2°. The central axis of the lower second channel 44 and the central axis of the lower joint 45 are at an angle of 2° to 5°.

[0060] The guide sleeve 42 is fixedly sleeved on the upper outer side of the upper joint 41. In a specific embodiment, the guide sleeve 42 is sleeved on the upper joint 41 by welding. The guide sleeve 42 is configured to be compatible with the second guide profile 152 of the wellbore connector 15, so as to achieve orientation. When the guide body 40 and the guide sleeve 42 enter the wellbore connector 15, the second guide profile 152 can guide the guide body 40 and the guide sleeve 42 to rotate, so that the lower second channel 44 in the guide body 40 can be connected to the second branch wellbore 23.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, in combination Figure 4a , Figure 4b , Figure 4c , Figure 7aand Figure 7b As shown, a first guide section 421 is provided at the lower end of the guide sleeve 42, and the shape of the first guide section 421 matches the shape of the second guide section 152. When the double-tube guide tool 4 enters the wellbore connector 15, the first guide section 421 of the guide sleeve 42 can rotate under the guidance of the second guide section 152 until the lowest point of the first guide section 421 reaches the lowest point of the second guide section 152. At this time, the lower port of the lower second channel 44 in the double-tube guide tool 4 is aligned with the opening 154 of the wellbore connector 15.

[0062] According to the present invention, the locking mechanism 480 is disposed on the side wall of the guide body 40 and is used to lock the first branch oil pipe 14 and / or the second branch oil pipe 13. Fig. 9 After the guide body 40 enters the wellbore connector 15 , the wellbore connector 15 can trigger the locking mechanism 480 , so that the locking mechanism 480 releases the locking of the first branch oil pipe 14 and / or the second branch oil pipe 13 .

[0063] In a specific embodiment, Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the locking mechanism 480 includes a trigger plate 48 and a suspension block 47 .

[0064] The trigger plate 48 is axially slidably arranged on the outer wall of the guide body 40, and the suspension block 47 is radially slidably arranged on the outer wall of the guide body 40. The radial inner side of the suspension block 47 can pass through the outer wall of the guide body 40 and can be connected with the upper second channel 43 and / or the upper first channel 49. In the present embodiment, the suspension block 47 is connected with the upper first channel 49.

[0065] In the locked state, the trigger plate 48 radially abuts against the outer wall of the hanging block 47, so that the radial inner side of the hanging block 47 is located inside the upper first channel 49, so that the inner end of the hanging block 47 can abut against the outer wall of the first branch oil pipe 14 in the first channel, and the first branch oil pipe 14 is fixed relative to the guide body 40. In the locked state, the second branch oil pipe 13 and the first branch oil pipe 14 can be fixed relative to the guide body 40, so that they can be put into the well together, ensuring a smooth well entry process.

[0066] A protrusion 151 is provided on the wellbore connector 15. When the guide body 40 moves downward relative to the wellbore connector 15, the protrusion 151 can push the trigger plate 48 to move, so that the trigger plate 48 is no longer in contact with the suspension block 47, and no longer abuts against the suspension block 47, so that the suspension block 47 is unlocked. After unlocking, the first branch oil pipe 14 and the second branch oil pipe 13 can continue to move downward relative to the guide body 40 of the dual-tube guide tool 4, and the first branch oil pipe 14 moves along the lower first channel 46 and finally enters the first branch wellbore 21. At the same time, the second branch oil pipe moves along the lower second channel 44 and finally enters the second branch wellbore 23.

[0067] According to the present invention, the position of the locking mechanism 180 corresponds to the position of the highest point of the first guide section 421 of the guide sleeve 42. A U-shaped groove 422 is provided on the side wall of the guide sleeve 42, and the U-shaped groove 422 is located at the highest point of the first guide section 421. Specifically, the guide sleeve 42 is a tubular structure, and two guide sections symmetrical about the plane where the axis of the guide sleeve 42 is located are provided at the lower end to form the first guide section 421. A U-shaped groove 422 is provided at the intersection of the upper ends of the two guide sections, thereby providing space for the locking mechanism 180.

[0068] According to the present invention, a plurality of side through holes 423 are circumferentially arranged on the side wall of the guide sleeve 42. The side through holes 423 are composed of a rectangular through hole and semicircular through holes arranged at both ends of the rectangular through hole.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the trigger plate 48 includes an arc plate 481 axially slidably arranged on the outer wall of the guide body 40, and a cushion block 482 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the arc plate 481. When the guide body 40 moves downward relative to the wellbore connector 15, the protrusion 151 can push the cushion block 482 to move upward, thereby causing the arc plate 481 to move upward.

[0070] In this embodiment, the cushion block 482 is fixed to the arc plate 481 by welding.

[0071] Furthermore, a rectangular through hole 483 matching the shape of the hanging block 47 is provided on the circular arc plate 481, and the size of the rectangular through hole 483 is larger than the size of the hanging block 47, so that the hanging block 47 can pass through the rectangular through hole 483. When the circular arc plate 481 moves until the through hole is aligned with the hanging block 47, the circular arc plate 481 no longer abuts against the hanging block 47, thereby releasing the lock of the hanging block 47.

[0072] Figure 5 , Figure 6a and Figure 6bAs shown, an arc groove 411 is provided on the outer wall of the upper joint 41 of the guide body 40, and an arc plate 481 is axially slidably provided in the arc groove 411. A cushion block 482 is located outside the arc groove 411. A fan-shaped groove 412 for arranging the suspension block 47 is provided in the arc groove 411, and the fan-shaped groove 412 is communicated with the upper first channel 49 of the upper joint 41. After the suspension block 47 is installed into the fan-shaped groove 412, the arc plate 481 is installed in the arc groove 411. At this time, the outer wall of the arc plate 481 is flush with the outer wall of the upper joint 41 of the guide body 40, and the cushion block 482 radially protrudes from the outer wall of the upper joint 41, so that the protrusion 151 of the wellbore connector 15 can push the cushion block 482. In the locked state, the inner wall of the arc plate 481 abuts against the suspension block 47 to prevent the suspension block 47 from moving radially outward. In the unlocked state, the arc plate 481 moves upward, so that the rectangular through hole 483 moves to a position corresponding to the hanging block 47, and the hanging block 47 can move radially outward.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, the radial inner diameter of the fan-shaped groove 412 is smaller than the radial outer diameter, and accordingly, the radial inner dimension of the hanging block 47 is smaller than the radial outer dimension, thereby preventing the hanging block 47 from falling radially into the interior of the guide body 40.

[0074] Figure 1 The branch well structure shown can be regarded as a four-level branch well system. The dual-tube guiding tool 4 of the present invention is used to send two oil pipes into two branch wells respectively, and it is upgraded to a five-level branch well system. Figure 3 The specific process is as follows.

[0075] Step 1: On the ground, assemble the production packer 1, the oil pipe 9, the rotatable tee joint 10, the first branch wellbore flexible joint 2, the second branch wellbore flexible joint 3, the second branch oil pipe 13 and the first branch oil pipe 14 according to the following steps: Figure 3 In the structural connection shown, the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17 is located at the end of the first branch oil pipe 14 , and the second branch wellbore sealing plug 5 is located at the end of the second branch oil pipe 13 .

[0076] Step 2: If Fig. 9 As shown, the dual-tube guiding tool 4 is suspended at the lower ends of the first branch oil pipe 14 and the second branch oil pipe 13. Specifically, the first branch oil pipe 14 and the second branch oil pipe 13 enter the first channel and the second channel respectively, and the hanging block 47 holds the necking part 171 of the upper part of the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17, so that the dual-tube guiding tool 4 is suspended on the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17, and the second branch wellbore sealing plug 5 is located in the second channel of the dual-tube guiding tool 4.

[0077] Step 3: Lower tool. After the double-tube guiding tool 4 is lowered into the wellbore connector 15, the first guiding section 421 of the guiding sleeve 42 contacts the second guiding section 152 of the wellbore connector 15. A certain drilling pressure is applied and the double-tube guiding tool 4 rotates along the guiding section, so that the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17 is aligned with the first branch wellbore 21, and the second branch wellbore sealing plug 5 is aligned with the second branch wellbore 23.

[0078] Step 4: Continue to apply pressure to the two oil pipes. During the process of guiding the dual-tube guiding tool 4 into position, the protrusion 151 of the wellbore connector 15 will push the trigger plate 48 to move upward. When the dual-tube guiding tool 4 is fully in place, the rectangular through hole 483 of the trigger plate 48 is aligned with the suspension block 47. Continue to apply a certain drilling pressure, the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17 squeezes the suspension block 47, so that it enters the rectangular through hole 483 of the trigger plate 48. At this time, the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17 is released from suspension, and the first branch wellbore sealing plug 17 can enter the first branch wellbore 21, and the second branch wellbore sealing plug 5 can enter the main casing 11.
