Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injecting knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid into a well, in particular to a injecting device and method for automatically injecting knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid into a well. Background Art
[0002] After the oil well is drilled, cracks of the same size are formed on the side walls of the oil well. The existence of these cracks undoubtedly affects the oil production. For this reason, workers need to regularly add evenly mixed knot temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid into the oil well to achieve the purpose of plugging the cracks. Among them, the reason for plugging the cracks is that the knot temporary plugging balls have good adaptability and can automatically adjust their shape according to different crack forms, adapt to cracks of different sizes for plugging, and achieve better plugging effect.
[0003] In a certain area, workers regularly add knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid to oil wells in the following way:
[0004] S1, workers take out multiple Figure 1 The bottom port of each cylinder 1 is blocked by a plug 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, workers put weighed and evenly mixed knot temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid into each cylinder 1;
[0005] S2. The worker takes out a cylinder 1 and lifts it to the top of the blowout preventer 4 at the top of the oil well 3. Figure 3 As shown;
[0006] S3, the worker pulls out the plug 2 from the bottom port of the cylinder 1, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the knotted temporary plugging ball and the fracturing fluid in the cylinder 1 fall from the cylinder 1 under their own gravity, and the falling direction of the knotted temporary plugging ball and the fracturing fluid is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown by the middle arrow, the fallen rope knot temporary plugging ball and fracturing fluid enter the blowout preventer, and then enter the oil well from the blowout preventer 4, thereby realizing the first injection of the rope knot temporary plugging ball and fracturing fluid into the oil well 3;
[0007] S4. The worker repeats steps S2 to S3 for multiple times, and then injects the knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid in each cylinder 1 into the oil well 3 for multiple times. The knotted temporary plugging balls injected into the oil well 3 can seal cracks of different sizes.
[0008] However, although this method can inject knot temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid into the oil well 3, in actual operation, there are still the following technical defects:
[0009] I. In step S3, it is necessary to manually lift the cylinder 1 to the position just above the blowout preventer 4 located at the top of the oil well 3, and then manually pull out the plug 2 from the bottom port of the cylinder 1, so that the knotted temporary plugging ball and fracturing fluid in the cylinder 1 can be injected into the oil well 3; and the entire injection process requires manual operation by workers, which not only increases the workers' work intensity, but also increases the injection time of the knotted temporary plugging ball and fracturing fluid, thereby reducing the injection efficiency of the knotted temporary plugging ball and fracturing fluid.
[0010] II. In step S3, due to the difference in flow speed between the knotted ball and the fracturing fluid, when the plug 2 is pulled out from the bottom port of the cylinder 1, it takes a long time for the knotted ball and the fracturing fluid in the cylinder 1 to fall out of the cylinder 1, which undoubtedly increases the filling time of the knotted ball and the fracturing fluid, and further reduces the filling efficiency of the knotted ball and the fracturing fluid.

[0070] S1. The worker places the filling device 5 on the right side of the blowout preventer 4. Fig.13 As shown; workers put the weighed and evenly mixed knot temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid into the temporary storage tube 11 from the top port of each temporary storage component 10; after the insertion, the temporary storage tube 11 of each temporary storage component 10 temporarily stores the knot temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid to be filled;
[0071] S2, adding knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid to the oil well 3 for the first time, and the specific operation steps are as follows:
[0072] S21, the worker controls the driving motor 26 to start, the driving motor 26 drives the driving gear 28 to rotate, the driving gear 28 drives the driven gear 27 to rotate, the driven gear 27 drives the hollow shaft 6 to rotate around its own axis, the hollow shaft 6 drives the turntable 7 to rotate, the turntable 7 drives the various temporary storage components 10 thereon to rotate synchronously, when the turntable 7 rotates to the set angle, the controller controls the driving motor 26 to turn off, at this time, a temporary storage component 10 on the turntable 7 just enters the clamping position of the clamping and conveying mechanism 17, that is, the square rod 16 of the temporary storage component 10 is just below the clamping head 24 of the clamping cylinder 23 of the clamping and conveying mechanism 17;

When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22 extends to the set stroke, the controller controls the lifting cylinder 22 to close. At this time, the clamp 24 of the clamping cylinder 23 is just sleeved on the outside of the square rod 16 of the temporary storage component 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 14~Figure 15 As shown;
[0074] S23, control the clamping oil cylinder 23 to start, the clamping oil cylinder 23 drives the clamping head 24 to close, the clamping head 24 clamps and fixes the square rod 16 of the temporary storage component 10, and then fixes the temporary storage component 10, such as Fig.16 As shown;
[0075] S24, control the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22 to retract upward, the piston rod drives the clamping cylinder 23 to move upward, the clamping cylinder 23 drives the temporary storage component 10 to move upward, and at the same time, the block 14 of the temporary storage component 10 gradually withdraws from the slot 9 of the support seat 8; when the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22 is fully retracted, the temporary storage component 10 is lifted up, such as Fig.17 As shown;
[0076] S25, control the piston rod of the feed cylinder 20 of the clamping and conveying mechanism 17 to extend to the left, the piston rod drives the bracket 21 to move to the left, the bracket 21 drives the lifting cylinder 22, the clamping cylinder 23, the temporary storage assembly 10 and the unloading assembly 25 to move to the left at the same time, when the piston rod of the feed cylinder 20 is fully extended, the temporary storage assembly 10 just moves to the top of the blowout preventer 4, as shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown;
[0077] S26, control the hydraulic motor 12 on the temporary storage assembly 10 to start, and the output shaft of the hydraulic motor 12 drives the blocking plate 13 to rotate on the horizontal plane. When the blocking plate 13 rotates 180 degrees, the controller controls the hydraulic motor 12 to close. At this time, the bottom port of the temporary storage tube 11 is no longer blocked by the blocking plate 13. Fig.19 As shown, the knotted temporary plugging ball and the fracturing fluid in the temporary storage tube 11 gradually fall out from the bottom port of the temporary storage tube 11, and the fallen knotted temporary plugging ball and the fracturing fluid enter the blowout preventer 4, and then enter the oil well from the blowout preventer 4;

[0079] Among them, from step S2, only through the linkage cooperation of the temporary storage component 10 and the clamping and conveying mechanism 17, the knot temporary plugging ball and fracturing fluid in the temporary storage tube 11 of the temporary storage component 10 can be automatically injected into the oil well 3, compared with the Figure 1~Figure 4 The filling method shown does not require workers to first lift the cylinder 1 to the top of the blowout preventer 4 located at the top of the oil well 3, and then pull out the plug 2 from the bottom port of the cylinder 1 before filling the knotted plugging ball and fracturing fluid in the cylinder 1 into the oil well 3. Instead, the knotted plugging ball and fracturing fluid are automatically filled into the oil well 3, which not only greatly reduces the work intensity of the workers, but also shortens the filling time of the knotted plugging ball and fracturing fluid, thereby greatly improving the filling efficiency of the knotted plugging ball and fracturing fluid.
[0080] In addition, it can be seen from steps S26 to S27 that when the plugging plate 13 no longer blocks the bottom port of the temporary storage tube 11, it is only necessary to control the self-locking motor 33 of the unloading assembly 25 to start, so that the push plate 31 can squeeze the knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid in the temporary storage tube 11 downward along the axial direction of the temporary storage tube 11, thereby accelerating the discharge speed of the knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid in the temporary storage tube 11, and further realizing that the knotted temporary plugging balls and fracturing fluid in the temporary storage tube 11 are all filled into the oil well 3 in a short time. It can be seen that compared with the above, the filling device of the present invention is more convenient to use.
