Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of perforating guns, and more specifically, to a double-layer vacuum interlayer high-temperature resistant perforating gun. Background Art
[0002] The oil and gas collection project is mainly divided into six parts, namely, drilling, logging, well logging, cementing, well perforation and well completion. After the cementing process of the oil and gas well is completed, the well casing will be installed in the original wellbore and cement slurry will be injected to reinforce the wellbore strength. At this time, the wellbore and the formation are separated, and oil and gas cannot be extracted from the oil and gas reservoir next to the wellbore. At this time, a perforating gun is needed to perforate to open the connection between the bottom layer and the wellbore to form a channel for oil and gas transmission.
[0003] At present, in actual perforating production, in order to match the process and ensure the connection of subsequent processes, the perforating gun usually stays in the formation for more than 72 hours before being lowered to the designated position. However, due to the structural characteristics of the gunpowder ratio and material restrictions of conventional perforating guns, the high temperature of the formation will be transmitted to the inside of the perforating gun, and the perforating bullet gunpowder loaded in the conventional perforating gun will easily melt and fail in the high-temperature well environment of more than 150°C, resulting in the inability to completely fire and explode the perforating bullet, thereby reducing the perforation rate and perforator performance, and failing to achieve the ideal perforation value of the perforating gun.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a double-layer vacuum interlayer high-temperature resistant perforating gun to solve the problem that the existing conventional perforating guns have always been difficult to perforate in high-temperature formations, difficult to carry out the perforating process, and have a significant impact on the collection efficiency and output of stratum gas and oil. Summary of the invention
[0005] The double-layer vacuum sandwich high temperature resistant perforating gun provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A double-layer vacuum sandwich high temperature resistant perforating gun, comprising an external pressure-resistant gun body and an internal bullet rack, wherein a bullet rack detonator compartment is arranged on the inner side of the bullet rack, a plurality of perforating bullet accommodating grooves are staggered and evenly opened on the outer end of the bullet rack, and a perforating bullet is arranged through each perforating bullet accommodating groove at the outer end of the bullet rack, a detonating cord is arranged on the outer wall of the bullet rack, the detonating cord is wound around the outer surface of the bullet rack in a dragon-like manner, and the detonating cord and each perforating bullet are staggered, one end of the detonating cord is connected to a transmission cable, and the transmission cable is extendedly arranged at one end of the bullet rack; The external pressure-resistant gun body includes an external pressure-bearing layer, a vacuum insulation layer and an internal support layer. The external pressure-bearing layer is located at the outermost position of the perforating gun, and the internal support layer is located at the outer side of the bomb rack, and a distance is left between the internal support layer and the bomb rack.
[0006] Furthermore, the vacuum insulation layer is located between the external pressure-bearing layer and the internal support layer, and the thickness of the vacuum insulation layer is designed to be 5 mm.
[0007] Through the above technical solution, the setting of the vacuum insulation layer and the design of its thickness can make the internal temperature of the perforating gun increase slowly under high temperature and high pressure environment, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the perforating bullet in the perforating gun is at the appropriate working temperature of the perforating bullet when firing.
[0008] Furthermore, the perforating bullet comprises a perforating bullet body, the outer wall of one end of the perforating bullet body is sleeved with a perforating bullet shell, and a booster is arranged at the center of a side of the perforating bullet body facing away from the perforating bullet shell, the inner wall of the perforating bullet body close to the booster is designed in a conical shape, and a main explosive is arranged on the inner wall of one side of the perforating bullet body, the booster is located at one end of the main explosive, a charge cap is arranged on the inner side of the main explosive, and the charge cap is set against the inner wall of the perforating bullet body.
[0009] Further, the following steps are included: S1, after the cementing process of the oil and gas well is completed, the perforating process is performed by using a double-layer high-temperature resistant perforating gun. At this time, the double-layer high-temperature resistant perforating gun is suspended in the wellbore of the oil and gas well, and the transmission cable connected to the upper end of the double-layer high-temperature resistant perforating gun is extended to the outside of the oil and gas well, and then the transmission cable is powered on; S2, based on the perforating process of oil and gas wells, the firing of the perforating bullet is to ignite the detonating cord in the perforating gun through an electrical signal, thereby igniting the booster at the tail of the perforating bullet, and the booster ignites the main explosive in the perforating bullet, so that the main explosive instantly explodes to generate huge energy and pressure and acts on the charge liner covering the inside of the main explosive, causing the charge liner to collapse and deform. After that, the high-energy jet generated by the main explosive aggregates with the deformed charge liner to form a high-energy particle jet that penetrates the perforating gun body, the wellbore and the near-well contaminated zone to reach the rock formation directly, and establish a connecting channel between the reservoir and the wellbore; S3, after the perforation is completed, the double-layer high-temperature resistant perforating gun is taken out, thereby completing the perforation work on the inner wall of the wellbore and forming a channel for oil and gas transmission.
[0010] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: In the present application, the double-layer design of the gun body of the perforating gun is used to cooperate with its inner bomb rack, bomb rack detonator magazine, detonating cord, transmission cable and multiple perforating bullets to achieve perforating work on the inner wall of the wellbore, effectively adapt to the high temperature environment inside the wellbore and perform heat insulation, thereby avoiding the melting and failure of the gunpowder in the perforating bullet itself, and ensuring the complete firing and combustion of the perforating bullet, thereby improving the perforation rate and the performance of the perforating gun itself, and achieving the ideal value under the perforating work.
