[0002] With the improvement of oil and gas well development technology, the research on underground reservoirs has become more and more refined. Generally, the formation transformation has changed from the original integrated transformation to layered transformation. After the transformation is completed, production is generally carried out in multiple layers. As the pressure of underground oil and gas decreases, some formations may produce water. The formation water in the upper layer may submerge the oil and gas in the lower layer, causing the oil and gas well production capacity to decrease or become scrapped. At this time, it is necessary to find the water outlet point and seal the water outlet point. The general sliding sleeve does not have a re-closing function, so the oil and gas well can only be overhauled and the original well string removed, which requires relatively high production costs and time.

[0012] The third technical solution of the present invention is achieved by the following measures: a method for repeatedly opening and closing a sleeve valve using a sleeve valve and a valve closing tool, comprising the following steps: (1) Connect the sleeve valve to the completion string, run it into the string as normal, and set the valve with replacement fluid; (See attached Figure 1 shown) (2) When the sleeve needs to be opened, a soluble ball is dropped from the wellhead and waits for the ball to be seated. When the soluble ball falls into the limit ring groove provided on the inner side of the upper end of the valve core, pressure is applied from the pipe string. The soluble ball pushes the valve core downward. The ratchet protrusion at the lower end of the ratchet is compressed by the conical surface of the sixth conical hole. The outer diameter of the ratchet protrusion becomes smaller and slides from the first limit groove to the second limit groove. The guide vertical groove provided on the outer surface of the valve core by the guide pin slides from the bottom to the top. Under the limitation of the guide pin, the valve core stops moving. At this time, the ratchet protrusion is located in the second limit groove. The ratchet protrusion bounces back in the second limit groove and its outer diameter becomes larger. The inner connecting hole provided on the valve core is connected with the outer connecting hole provided on the upper outer cylinder under the action of the connecting ring groove. After the soluble ball is dissolved, the sleeve valve is opened. (3) When the sleeve valve needs to be closed, according to the location of the sleeve valve, if it is in a vertical well section, use a wire tool to connect the upper joint of the valve closing tool; if it is in a highly deviated well section or a horizontal section, use a coiled tubing to connect the upper joint of the valve closing tool; (See the attached Figure 2 shown) (4) Lower the valve closing tool into the well. When the valve closing tool is lowered into the upper end of the valve core, the seat ring provided on the outer tube of the clamping block is stuck in the limit ring groove provided on the inner side of the upper end of the valve core and cannot pass through. (As shown in the attached Figure 3 shown) (5) When the force is continued to be applied to the lower part, the upper joint drives the core shaft to move downward, the locking shear pins are cut off, and the large diameter section moves to the inner side of the lower part of the block body, so that the first locking block and the second locking block provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the block body are respectively inserted into the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the valve core. At the same time, the locking inner cylinder provided at the lower part of the core shaft enters into the locking outer cylinder. Under the cooperation of the outer stop teeth and the inner stop teeth, the locking core shaft is prevented from moving upward relative to the locking outer cylinder. At this time, the valve closing tool and the valve core become a whole; (as shown in the attached Figure 4 shown) (6) Lift the upper joint upward, so that the valve closing tool drives the valve core upward. The pawl protrusion at the lower end of the pawl is compressed by the conical surface of the seventh conical hole, and the outer diameter of the pawl protrusion becomes smaller, and it slides from the second limit groove to the first limit groove. When the upper end of the valve core contacts the lower side of the upper limit ring, the guide vertical groove provided on the outer surface of the valve core by the guide pin slides from the top to the bottom. Under the limit of the guide pin, the valve core stops moving. At this time, the pawl protrusion is located in the first limit groove, and the pawl protrusion re-opens in the first limit groove, and the outer diameter becomes larger. The inner connecting hole provided on the valve core and the outer connecting hole provided on the upper outer cylinder are staggered, and the sliding sleeve valve is closed; (As shown in the attached figure, the inner connecting hole provided on the valve core is staggered with the outer connecting hole provided on the upper outer cylinder, and the sliding sleeve valve is closed.) Figure 5 shown) (7) Continue to lift the upper joint to move the valve closing tool upward, cut off the shear pins, and move the core shaft upward relative to the locking outer cylinder. When the large diameter section is located above the block body, the block body loses the support of the large diameter section, and the first locking block and the second locking block are no longer anchored in the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove. Under the action of the first tapered hole and the third tapered hole, the overall outer diameter of the block body becomes smaller, and the first locking block and the second locking block are disengaged from the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove. Continue to lift the upper joint until the valve closing tool is lifted out of the wellhead; (As shown in the attached figure) Figure 6 shown) (8) Repeat the above steps (2) to (7) to implement the method of repeatedly opening and closing the sliding sleeve valve.
[0013] The invention has a reasonable and compact structure and is easy to use. By arranging a spring sheet, the large-diameter section can be moved to the inner side of the lower part of the clamping block body, so that the first locking block and the second locking block are respectively clamped in the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove, so that the clamping block body anchors the valve core, and the valve closing tool and the valve core become a whole, which has the characteristics of stability, reliability and high efficiency.

[0031] Embodiment 9: As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 3, 4, 5, and 6, a method for repeatedly opening and closing a sleeve valve using a sleeve valve and a valve closing tool comprises the following steps: (1) Connect the sleeve valve to the completion string, run it into the string as normal, and set the valve with replacement fluid; (See attached Figure 1 shown) (2) When the sleeve needs to be opened, a soluble ball 42 is dropped from the wellhead and waits for the ball to be seated. When the soluble ball 42 falls into the limiting ring groove 10 provided on the inner side of the upper end of the valve core 3, pressure is applied from the inside of the pipe string. The soluble ball 42 pushes the valve core 3 to move downward. The ratchet protrusion 5 at the lower end of the ratchet 4 is compressed by the conical surface of the sixth conical hole. The outer diameter of the ratchet protrusion 5 becomes smaller and slides from the first limiting groove 8 to the second limiting groove 9. The guide vertical groove 16 provided on the outer surface of the valve core 3 by the guide pin 17 slides from the bottom end to the top end. Under the limitation of the guide pin 17, the valve core 3 stops moving. At this time, the ratchet protrusion 5 is located in the second limiting groove 9. The ratchet protrusion 5 re-opens in the second limiting groove 9 and the outer diameter becomes larger. The inner connecting hole 13 provided on the valve core 3 is connected with the outer connecting hole 15 provided on the upper outer tube 1 under the action of the connecting ring groove 14. After the soluble ball 42 is dissolved, the sleeve valve is opened. (3) When the sleeve valve needs to be closed, according to the location of the sleeve valve, if it is in a vertical well section, use a wire tool to connect the upper joint 19 of the valve closing tool; if it is in a highly deviated well section or a horizontal section, use a coiled tubing to connect the upper joint 19 of the valve closing tool; (See Appendix Figure 2 shown) (4) Lower the valve closing tool into the well. When the valve closing tool is lowered into the upper end of the valve core 3, the seat ring 32 provided on the outer tube 23 of the clamping block is clamped into the limiting ring groove 10 provided on the inner side of the upper end of the valve core 3 and cannot pass through; (See attached Figure 3 shown) (5) When the force is continuously applied to the lower part, the upper joint 19 drives the core shaft to move downward, the locking shear nail 30 is cut off, and the large diameter section 20 moves to the inner side of the lower part of the block body 35, so that the first locking block 27 and the second locking block 28 provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the block body 35 are respectively inserted into the first locking ring groove 11 and the second locking ring groove 12 provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the valve core 3. At the same time, the locking inner cylinder 25 provided at the lower part of the core shaft enters into the locking outer cylinder 26. Under the cooperation of the outer stop teeth 40 and the inner stop teeth 41, the locking core shaft is prevented from moving upward relative to the locking outer cylinder 26. At this time, the valve closing tool and the valve core 3 become a whole; (as shown in the attached figure) Figure 4 shown) (6) Lift the upper joint 19 so that the valve closing tool drives the valve core 3 upward. The outer diameter of the ratchet protrusion 5 at the lower end of the ratchet 4 becomes smaller under the compression of the conical surface of the seventh conical hole, and the ratchet protrusion 5 slides from the second limit groove 9 to the first limit groove 8. When the upper end of the valve core 3 abuts against the lower side of the upper limit ring 6, the guide pin 17 slides from the top to the bottom of the guide vertical groove 16 provided on the outer surface of the valve core 3. Under the limitation of the guide pin 17, the valve core 3 stops moving. At this time, the ratchet protrusion 5 is located in the first limit groove 8. The ratchet protrusion 5 re-opens in the first limit groove 8, and the outer diameter becomes larger. The inner communication hole 13 provided on the valve core 3 is offset from the outer communication hole 15 provided on the upper outer tube 1, and the sliding sleeve valve is closed; (See Appendix 1 for details) Figure 5 shown) (7) Continue to lift the upper joint 19 to move the valve closing tool upward, cut off the shear pin 31, and move the core shaft upward relative to the locking outer cylinder 26. When the large diameter section 20 is located above the block body 35, the block body 35 loses the support of the large diameter section 20, and the first locking block 27 and the second locking block 28 are no longer anchored in the first locking ring groove 11 and the second locking ring groove 12. Under the action of the first tapered hole and the third tapered hole, the overall outer diameter of the block body 35 becomes smaller, and the first locking block 27 and the second locking block 28 are disengaged from the first locking ring groove 11 and the second locking ring groove 12. Continue to lift the upper joint 19 until the valve closing tool is lifted out of the wellhead; (See Appendix 1 for details) Figure 6 shown) (8) Repeat the above steps (2) to (7) to implement the method of repeatedly opening and closing the sliding sleeve valve.
[0032] During use, the present application adopts a sleeve valve and a valve closing tool, and different soluble balls 42 can be put into the sleeve valves corresponding to different strata during layered transformation. When the current layer is transformed, the soluble ball 42 can be used to temporarily block the lower stratum. During normal production, when water comes out of a certain stratum, the corresponding valve closing tool is lowered to close the sleeve of the current layer to achieve continuous production. After the valve closing tool closes the sleeve of the current layer, the soluble ball 42 can be re-inserted after the shear pin 31 is lifted up to cut off the hand-release shear nail 31 and the valve closing tool is removed to open the sleeve valve.
[0033] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.

When the soluble ball falls into the limit ring groove provided on the inner side of the upper end of the valve core, pressure is applied from the pipe string. The soluble ball pushes the valve core downward. The ratchet protrusion at the lower end of the ratchet is compressed by the conical surface of the sixth conical hole. The outer diameter of the ratchet protrusion becomes smaller and slides from the first limit groove to the second limit groove. The guide vertical groove provided on the outer surface of the valve core by the guide pin slides from the bottom to the top. Under the limitation of the guide pin, the valve core stops moving. At this time, the ratchet protrusion is located in the second limit groove. The ratchet protrusion bounces back in the second limit groove and its outer diameter becomes larger. The inner connecting hole provided on the valve core is connected with the outer connecting hole provided on the upper outer cylinder under the action of the connecting ring groove. After the soluble ball is dissolved, the sleeve valve is opened. (3) When the sleeve valve needs to be closed, according to the location of the sleeve valve, if it is in a vertical well section, use a wire tool to connect the upper joint of the valve closing tool; if it is in a highly deviated well section or a horizontal section, use a coiled tubing to connect the upper joint of the valve closing tool; (4) Lower the valve closing tool into the well. When the valve closing tool reaches the upper end of the valve core, the seat ring provided on the outer tube of the clamping block is stuck in the limit ring groove provided on the inner side of the upper end of the valve core and cannot pass through. (5) When the force is continued to be applied to the lower part, the upper joint drives the core shaft to move downward, the locking shear pins are cut off, and the large diameter section moves to the inner side of the lower part of the clamp body, so that the first locking block and the second locking block provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the clamp body are respectively inserted into the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the valve core. At the same time, the locking inner cylinder provided at the lower part of the core shaft enters into the locking outer cylinder. Under the cooperation of the outer stop teeth and the inner stop teeth, the locking core shaft is prevented from moving upward relative to the locking outer cylinder. At this time, the valve closing tool and the valve core become a whole. (6) Lift the upper joint upward, so that the valve closing tool drives the valve core upward. The pawl protrusion at the lower end of the pawl is compressed by the conical surface of the seventh conical hole, and the outer diameter of the pawl protrusion becomes smaller, and it slides from the second limit groove to the first limit groove. When the upper end of the valve core contacts the lower side of the upper limit ring, the guide vertical groove provided on the outer surface of the valve core by the guide pin slides from the top to the bottom. Under the limitation of the guide pin, the valve core stops moving. At this time, the pawl protrusion is located in the first limit groove, and the pawl protrusion bounces back in the first limit groove, and the outer diameter becomes larger. The inner connecting hole provided on the valve core and the outer connecting hole provided on the upper outer cylinder are offset, and the sliding sleeve valve is closed. (7) Continue to lift the upper joint to move the valve closing tool upward, cut off the shear pins, and move the core shaft upward relative to the locking outer cylinder. When the large diameter section is located above the block body, the block body loses the support of the large diameter section, and the first locking block and the second locking block are no longer anchored in the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove. Under the action of the first tapered hole and the third tapered hole, the overall outer diameter of the block body becomes smaller, and the first locking block and the second locking block are disengaged from the first locking ring groove and the second locking ring groove. Continue to lift the upper joint until the valve closing tool is lifted out of the wellhead; (8) Repeat the above steps (2) to (7) to implement the method of repeatedly opening and closing the sliding sleeve valve.
