The sealing unit has a flow channel, and the cross-section of the flow channel gradually narrows from top to bottom.

[0011] The liquid inlet unit is disposed between the sealing unit and the sealing unit and is connected to the liquid inlet chamber to introduce circulating liquid into the flow channel and then spray it out through the injection hole to form a high-speed water flow to break the cement ring in the cement chamber.

[0012] In some embodiments, the milling shoe includes a milling shoe body and a plurality of alloy blocks, the plurality of alloy blocks being circumferentially spaced along the end face of the milling shoe body, and the injection hole being disposed on the end face of the milling shoe body and located between two adjacent alloy blocks.

[0013] In some embodiments, the milling shoe body has a liquid channel inside, one end of which is connected to the flow channel and the other end is connected to the injection hole, and the lower part of the liquid channel is inclined towards the edge of the milling shoe body for convenience.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sealing unit includes a rubber sleeve and an upper pressure cap. The rubber sleeve is disposed in the gap between the upper part of the milling tube and the inner wall of the cylinder. The upper pressure cap is disposed on the top of the main body and sleeved in the main body. The milling tube passes through the upper pressure cap, and the upper pressure cap is pressed against the rubber sleeve.

[0015] In some embodiments, the rubber tube includes a rubber tube body and a rubber tube seat, the rubber tube seat is supported on the rubber tube body and disposed near the inner wall of the tube, and the rubber tube body is disposed between the milling sleeve and the rubber tube seat.

[0021] According to the casing milling device provided by one or more embodiments of the present application, since the sealing unit seals the gap between the upper part of the casing milling pipe and the inner wall of the barrel, i.e., the liquid inlet cavity is not in communication with the atmosphere, when the circulating liquid is introduced into the liquid inlet cavity by the liquid inlet unit, the circulating liquid will enter the flow channel. Since the cross section of the flow channel narrows from top to bottom, the pressure of the liquid inlet cavity will increase during the circulating liquid flowing through the flow channel. Under the action of the pressure, the circulating liquid will be sprayed out at high speed through the spray hole, forming a high-speed water flow. Therefore, the high-speed water flow and the casing milling shoe jointly act to break the cement sheath, which can improve the breaking efficiency of the cement sheath, change the problem of low efficiency of the traditional casing milling which only relies on the grinding of the casing milling shoe, and to some extent, avoid the situation of damage to the casing caused by long-time casing milling operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order for those skilled in the art to which the present application pertains to more clearly understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] The sleeve milling device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a first casing 110, a second casing 120, a barrel 130, a sleeve milling pipe 140, a sleeve milling shoe 150, a sealing unit 160, a sealing-off unit 170, and a liquid inlet unit 180. The first casing 110 is arranged in an oil well, the second casing 120 is arranged in the first casing 110 at intervals, and a cement cavity is formed between the first casing 110 and the second casing 120, and the cement cavity has a cement ring; the barrel 130 is arranged at the wellhead of the oil well, the barrel 130 is connected with the first casing 110, and the inside of the barrel 130 is in communication with the cement cavity; the sleeve milling pipe 140 is movably arranged in the barrel 130 and can be extended into the cement cavity from the barrel 130; the sleeve milling shoe 150 is arranged at the lower part of the sleeve milling pipe 140 in communication, and the end face of the sleeve milling shoe 150 is provided with a plurality of jet holes 153; the sealing unit 160 is used to seal the gap between the upper part of the sleeve milling pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130; the sealing-off unit 170 is used to seal the gap between the lower part of the sleeve milling pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130 or the inner wall of the first casing 110; the sealing unit 160, the sealing-off unit 170, the sleeve milling pipe 140, and the inner wall of the barrel 130 form a liquid inlet cavity 131, or the sealing unit 160, the sealing-off unit 170, the sleeve milling pipe 140, the inner wall of the barrel 130, and the inner wall of the first casing 110 form the liquid inlet cavity 131; the sealing-off unit 170 has a flow channel 171, and the cross section of the flow channel 171 narrows from top to bottom.

[0031] The sleeve milling device 100 has a switchable first state and second state, when the sleeve milling pipe 140 is in the first state, the lower part of the sleeve milling pipe 140 is located in the barrel 130, the sealing unit 160, the sealing unit 170, the sleeve milling pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130 form a liquid inlet cavity 131, when the sleeve milling device 100 is in the second state, the lower part of the sleeve milling pipe 140 is located in the cement cavity, the sealing unit 160, the sealing unit 170, the sleeve milling pipe 140, the inner wall of the barrel 130 and the inner wall of the first casing 110 form a liquid inlet cavity 131, one end of the flow channel 171 is communicated with the liquid inlet cavity 131, and the other end is communicated with the jet hole 153, the liquid inlet unit 180 is arranged between the sealing unit 160 and the sealing unit 170 and communicated with the liquid inlet cavity 131, so that the circulating liquid is introduced into the flow channel 171 and then sprayed out of the jet hole 153 to form a high-speed water flow to break the cement ring.

[0032] In the process of drilling, when the drill bit drills to a certain depth, a steel casing is put into the well, and then cement is injected into the annular space between the casing and the borehole, and after the cement solidifies, the well wall can be prevented from collapsing, and then a smaller drill bit is replaced to continue drilling down into the casing, when drilling to a certain depth and the well wall is unstable, the drill string is lifted, a smaller casing is put into the original casing and extended downward, and then cement is injected between the casing and the borehole, and so on. That is, almost all oil wells will have two or more casings, the number of casings can be determined according to the depth and geological conditions, the casings from large to small are surface casing, technical casing, oil layer casing, tail pipe and the like, the first casing 110 and the second casing 120 in the embodiment can be any two casings arranged adjacently, of course, the size of the second casing 120 is smaller than that of the first casing 110.

[0033] The barrel 130 is arranged on the ground and corresponds to the wellhead, one end of the sleeve milling pipe 140 is arranged outside the barrel 130 (not shown in the figure) and connected with the drilling tool, and the other end is arranged in the barrel 130 and can be extended downward into the cement cavity, that is, when the sleeve milling pipe 140 is located in the cement cavity, the sleeve milling pipe 140 is arranged between the first casing 110 and the second casing 120, of course, as the oil well is drilled deeper, the sleeve milling pipe 140 can be continuously extended downward to adapt to the depth of the oil well. The sleeve milling teeth are arranged on the end face of the sleeve milling shoe 150, the sleeve milling pipe 140 can be provided with rotary power by a power swivel or a rotary table to drive the sleeve milling shoe 150 to rotate, so that the sleeve milling teeth on the sleeve milling shoe 150 can break the cement ring by rotating.

[0034] The sealing unit 160 is used to seal the gap between the upper part of the milling sleeve 140 and the inner wall of the cylinder 130, and the sealing unit 170 is used to seal the gap between the lower part of the milling sleeve 140 and the inner wall of the cylinder 130 or the inner wall of the first sleeve 110. It should be noted that the "upper part of the milling sleeve 140" here refers to the upper part of the milling sleeve 140 located in the cylinder 130, and the "lower part of the milling sleeve 140" refers to the part of the milling sleeve 140 close to the milling shoe 150.

[0035] When milling begins on a well where cement has risen to the surface, the milling tube 140 is in its first state, with its lower part located inside the cylinder 130. The packer unit 170 seals the gap between the lower part of the milling tube 140 and the inner wall of the cylinder 130. The sealing unit 160, packer unit 170, milling tube 140, and inner wall of the cylinder 130 form an inlet chamber 131. After the inlet unit 180 introduces circulating fluid into the inlet chamber 131, the circulating fluid enters the flow channel 171. Because the cross-section of the flow channel 171 gradually narrows from top to bottom, the pressure in the inlet chamber 131 increases as the circulating fluid flows through it. Under this pressure, the circulating fluid is ejected at high speed through the injection hole 153, forming a high-speed water flow that can break the cement sheath that has risen to the surface. As the cement sheath is broken, the lower part of the milling tube 140 gradually extends from the cylinder 130 into the water... In the mud chamber, the milling tube 140 is in the second state. The sealing unit 170 seals the gap between the lower part of the milling tube 140 and the inner wall of the first casing 110. The sealing unit 160, the sealing unit 170, the milling tube 140, the inner wall of the cylinder 130 and the inner wall of the first casing 110 form the inlet chamber 131. Of course, the inner wall of the first casing 110 is connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the cylinder 130. Similarly, after the inlet unit 180 introduces the circulating fluid into the inlet chamber 131, the circulating fluid will enter the flow channel 171. Since the cross-section of the flow channel 171 gradually narrows from top to bottom, the pressure of the inlet chamber 131 will increase during the flow of the circulating fluid through the flow channel 171. Under the action of pressure, the circulating fluid will be ejected at high speed through the injection hole 153 to form a high-speed water flow, which can break the cement sheath downhole. As the milling depth increases, the extension length of the milling tube 140 also becomes longer. Based on the existing method of using the milling shoe 150 to break the cement ring, a high-speed water flow is added to further break the cement ring. This allows the high-speed water flow and the milling shoe 150 to work together to break the cement ring, thereby improving the breaking efficiency of the cement ring and avoiding damage to the casing caused by prolonged milling operations.

[0036] In some embodiments, the inlet unit 180 is used to provide circulating fluid that needs to be returned to the ground after the cement ring is broken. The inlet unit 180 includes a bypass and a pumping device, which pumps the circulating fluid from the bypass into the inlet chamber 131.

[0037] It should be noted that the broken cement is returned out through the inside of the circulating fluid through the underreamer pipe 140.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the sealing unit 160 is arranged to not only isolate the liquid inlet cavity 131 from the atmosphere, form a high-pressure liquid inlet cavity 131, so that the circulating fluid can be sprayed out at high speed through the jet hole under the action of pressure when passing through the flow channel 171 with a narrowing cross section, but also to a certain extent, avoid the circulating fluid from flowing out from the upper passage between the underreamer pipe 140 and the cylinder 130, and ensure that the circulating fluid and the broken cement are returned to the ground through the underreamer pipe 140.

[0039] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 3-4 The underreamer shoe 150 includes an underreamer shoe 150 body and a plurality of alloy blocks 152, the plurality of alloy blocks 152 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the end face of the underreamer shoe 150 body, and the jet hole 153 is arranged on the end face of the underreamer shoe 150 body and located between the two adjacent alloy blocks 152.

[0040] The alloy block 152 is a hard alloy block 152 to enhance the wear resistance of the underreamer shoe 150, and specifically, the alloy block 152 can be cobalt-containing tungsten carbide. The recess is formed between the two adjacent alloy blocks 152, and the jet hole 153 is arranged in the recess. Since the jet hole 153 is located between the two adjacent alloy blocks 152, the arrangement of the jet hole 153 does not interfere with the alloy block 152. The number of jet holes 153 can be set according to actual needs, that is, a jet hole 153 can be arranged in each recess, or a jet hole 153 can be arranged at an interval of one recess, and no limitation is made on this.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that the plurality of jet holes 153 can be arranged at equal intervals along the end face of the underreamer shoe 150 body, so that the annular cement ring can be uniformly sprayed, and the hydraulic mud breaking efficiency and the cleaning degree of the underreaming surface can be improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, the underreamer shoe 150 body is provided with a liquid passage 154, one end of the liquid passage 154 is in communication with the flow channel 171, the other end is in communication with the jet hole 153, and the lower part of the liquid passage 154 is conveniently inclined to the edge of the underreamer shoe 150 body.

[0043] Since the liquid passage 154 is arranged obliquely, the water flow sprayed out of the jet hole 153 is also obliquely sprayed out. The oblique design of the liquid passage 154 can cooperate with the alloy arrangement of the underreamer shoe 150 to improve the smoothness of the rotary milling of the underreamer shoe 150, and is more conducive to carrying the cement debris and cooling the underreamer shoe 150.

[0044] In some embodiments, the sealing unit 160 comprises a rubber sleeve 161 and an upper cover 162, the rubber sleeve 161 is arranged in the gap between the upper part of the sleeve mill pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130, and the upper cover 162 is arranged on the top of the main body and is sleeved in the main body, the sleeve mill pipe 140 is arranged in the upper cover 162, and the upper cover 162 is arranged in extrusion with the rubber sleeve 161.

[0045] The rubber sleeve 161 is made of flexible material, and is arranged in the gap between the upper part of the sleeve mill pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130. At the same time, the upper cover 162 extrudes the rubber sleeve 161, so that the rubber sleeve 161 is deformed and is arranged in interference in the gap, so as to achieve better sealing effect.

[0046] The lower end of the upper cover 162 is provided with a thread to be screwed with the barrel 130. After the upper cover 162 is fastened to the barrel 130 by screwing, the upper cover 162 will extrude the rubber sleeve 161.

[0047] Specifically, the rubber sleeve 161 comprises a rubber sleeve main body 1611 and a rubber sleeve seat 1612, the rubber sleeve seat 1612 is arranged on the rubber sleeve main body 1611, and the rubber sleeve seat 1612 is arranged close to the inner wall of the barrel 130. The rubber sleeve main body 1611 is arranged between the sleeve mill pipe 140 and the rubber sleeve seat 1612.

[0048] The rubber sleeve seat 1612 supports the rubber sleeve main body 1611 and prevents the rubber sleeve main body 1611 from being damaged under certain pressure. The contact surface between the rubber sleeve seat 1612 and the rubber sleeve main body 1611 can be inclined, so that the rubber sleeve seat 1612 and the rubber sleeve main body 1611 are more closely attached, so as to ensure better sealing effect.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sealing unit 160 further comprises a sealing ring 163, which is arranged between the rubber sleeve 161 and the inner wall of the barrel 130.

[0050] The sealing ring 163 is arranged between the rubber sleeve 161 and the inner wall of the barrel 130, so as to further improve the sealing effect between the sleeve mill pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130. Specifically, the sealing ring 163 is arranged between the rubber sleeve seat 1612 and the inner wall of the barrel 130.

[0051] In some embodiments, the device further comprises a bearing 190 arranged between the sleeve mill pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130.

[0052] As described above, the sleeve mill pipe 140 will rotate under the action of the power faucet or the rotary table to drive the sleeve mill shoe 150 to rotate. Therefore, in order to reduce the friction of the sleeve mill pipe 140 during rotation and to a certain extent avoid damage to the sleeve mill pipe 140, the bearing 190 is arranged between the sleeve mill pipe 140 and the inner wall of the barrel 130.

[0053] Specifically, the bearing 190 can be a thrust ball bearing 190. Two bearings 190 can be provided, namely a first bearing 191 and a second bearing 192. The first bearing 191 is arranged between the upper gland 162 and the rubber sleeve 161, i.e. the upper gland 162 exerts pressure on the rubber sleeve 161 through the bearing 190. The second bearing 192 is arranged below the rubber sleeve 161, i.e. the rubber sleeve 161 is arranged between the first bearing 191 and the second bearing 192. The inner wall of the barrel 130 is provided with a stepped structure 135, and the second bearing 192 is clamped on the stepped structure 135. When the upper gland 162 is screwed onto the barrel 130, pressure is applied to the first bearing 191, and the rubber sleeve 161 is pressed under the support of the second bearing 192, so as to be arranged in the gap with an interference, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0054] Of course, the bearing 190 can also be provided in multiple, which is not limited.

[0055] In addition, a rubber sleeve gland 1613 can be arranged between the bearing 190 and the rubber sleeve 161, which mainly serves to protect the rubber sleeve 161 from damage caused by the rotation of the bearing 190 and the tightening of the upper gland 162.

[0056] In some embodiments, the sealing unit 170 is connected to the reamer shoe 150, and a flow channel 171 is formed between one side of the sealing unit 170 and the lower part of the reamer pipe 140. The other side of the sealing unit 170 abuts against the inner wall of the barrel 130 or the inner wall of the surface tubing.

[0057] Specifically, the sealing unit 170 can be a cup seal packer. The cup of the sealing unit 170 abuts against the inner wall of the barrel 130 or the inner wall of the surface tubing. The cup seal packer and the reamer shoe 150 can be connected together by a steel ball. During the rotation of the reamer shoe 150, the cup seal packer remains in a stationary state. When the circulating fluid enters the flow channel 171, the flow channel 171 narrows, the pressure in the liquid inlet chamber 131 increases, and under the action of the pressure, the cup of the cup seal packer tightly abuts against the inner wall of the sleeve, so as to achieve sealing.

[0058] In some embodiments, the barrel 130 includes an outer shell 132, a connecting sleeve 133 and a sleeve coupling 134 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The sealing unit 160 is arranged in the outer shell 132. The connecting sleeve 133 is used to connect the outer shell 132 and the sleeve coupling 134. The sleeve coupling 134 is connected to the first sleeve 110.

[0059] In some embodiments, sand can be added to the circulating fluid. When the sand content is 5%, the flow rate at the jet hole can reach 80-100 m / S, the breaking distance is greater than 20 mm, and the auxiliary breaking effect is obvious.

[0060] Next, the use method of the reamer device 100 will be described:

[0061] The cylinder 130 is assembled with the reaming pipe 140 and the reamer shoe 150 on the ground, the bottom of the cylinder 130 is welded with the first casing pipe 110 outside the cement sheath of the construction well, and pressure test is carried out at 15 MPa; after the reamer shoe 150 reaches the cement surface, reaming construction is prepared, circulating fluid is pumped from the bypass pump by the cement truck, the rubber bowl packer is tightly attached to the inner wall of the first casing pipe 110 under the action of pressure to form a closed space, at this time, circulating fluid enters the flow channel 171 from the closed space, because the cross section of the flow channel 171 changes from wide to narrow, when the circulating fluid flows through the narrower part, the pressure of the liquid inlet cavity 131 increases, under the action of pressure, the circulating fluid entering the liquid channel 154 is sprayed at high speed from the jet hole 153 on the end surface of the reamer shoe 150, the rotating power swivel is operated to start reaming the cement sheath, so that the high-speed water flow realizes double-acting crushing of the cement sheath together with the reamer shoe 150. The rotating speed can be adjusted according to the actual situation on site, and the circulating pump displacement is gradually adjusted to increase the pressure of the jet hole 153, and the highest pressure is controlled within 15 MPa. After one reaming pipe 140 is reamed, another reaming pipe 140 is connected to continue reaming, and the above operation is repeated until the reaming depth is reached.
