Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield well repair operations, and in particular to an adaptive in-pipe service system and an implementation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The expansion tube patching technology is an important technical means for repairing casing damaged wells. According to incomplete statistics, more than 70 casing damaged wells have been repaired using the expansion tube patching technology since 2009. In production applications, it is found that the inner wall of the wellbore is irregular, uneven, elliptical wellbore diameter, bending and other conditions, and the operation process of the expansion tube does not change with the change of the wellbore shape. There is a solution to the problem that the current expansion tube is constrained by the fixed diameter expansion cone, the expansion tube is shaped according to the expansion cone shape, and cannot adapt well to the wellbore shape, resulting in poor adaptability of the expansion tube plugging and restricted application.
[0003] Patent document with application number 2017100836411 discloses a thin-wall expansion tube device and its operation method. The device directly connects the hydraulic cylinder device with the expansion cone. When the expansion tube is long, the center tube above the hydraulic cylinder device can use the working pipe string, which reduces the manufacturing cost. At the same time, when the hydraulic cylinder device lifts the expansion cone to complete a stroke, the hydraulic cylinder device can be reset by lowering the working pipe string, which is easy to operate. However, its essence is to use a conical expansion cone to cause radial deformation of the thin-wall expansion tube, which may encounter resistance when encountering micro-deformation of the casing.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the prior art for improving the in-pipe service system and implementation method of the expansion pipe. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the embodiment of the present invention is to propose an adaptive in-pipe service system and implementation method, which realizes the expansion tube compensation, diameter adjustment, and pressure testing process in one trip to the tubing string.

[0016] The service system is lowered to a predetermined position in the oil pipe, and pressurized to a first pressure threshold to break the bursting disc, so that the pressure in the oil pipe enters the adaptive service system through the radial hole;

[0039] In addition, reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0040] In existing oil well production applications, it is found that the wellbore has irregular inner walls, unevenness, elliptical well diameters, bends and other conditions. The oil well compensation technology in the prior art is constrained by the sizing expansion cone. The expansion tube is shaped according to the shape of the expansion cone. The expansion cone is prone to jamming when encountering irregular positions and cannot adapt well to the wellbore shape, resulting in poor adaptability of the expansion tube plugging and restricted application. Moreover, the procedures for compensation and diametral adjustment of the expansion tube in the prior art are usually not completed in one trip, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides an adaptive in-pipe service system and implementation method, such as Figure 1 The figure shows an adaptive in-pipe service system provided by the present invention. Figure 2-4 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of the service system in the adaptive tube, which divides the service system into a first part, a second part and a third part in the axial direction. The display in the figure is only for the convenience of showing the details of the service system structure, and does not limit the division of this system.
[0041] The adaptive in-pipe service system includes a burst plugging valve 2, a calibration gauge 9, a flexible expansion tool 10, an expansion pipe 11 and a limit assembly which are sequentially connected from the upper end to the lower end in the axial direction of the pipeline.
[0042] The burst plugging valve 2 separates the pipeline of the service system into a first cavity and a second cavity in the axial direction. Figure 1As shown in , the left side of the burst plugging valve 2 is the first cavity, and the right side of the burst plugging valve 2 is the second cavity. The pipe wall corresponding to the burst plugging valve 2 is further provided with radial holes 7 and bursting discs 8 for blocking the radial holes 7. The bursting discs 8 are configured to automatically burst when the pressure reaches a first threshold, so that the oil pipe is connected to the inside of the service system through the radial holes 7; the flexible expansion tool 10 is movably arranged in the expansion tube 11, and the flexible expansion tool 10 expands and compresses the expansion tube 11 in a pressurized state, and automatically resets in an unpressurized state; the limit assembly is arranged on the radial outside of the expansion tube, and the limit assembly is configured to automatically release the radial limit of the expansion tube when the pressure in the system reaches a second threshold. In some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible expansion tool 10 can be a longitudinal sac-like structure composed of a polymer composite material, which can deform under internal pressure and provide expansion pressure to the outside.
[0043] Furthermore, a positioning indicator 16 is further connected to the pipeline above the bursting plugging valve 2 .
[0044] Furthermore, the upper end of the positioning indicator 16 is further connected to a differential pressure valve 1 , and the differential pressure valve 1 is in communication with the first cavity and the oil pipe.
[0045] The differential pressure valve 1, the positioning indicator 16, the burst plugging valve 2, the calibration gauge 9, the flexible expansion tool 10, the connecting oil pipe 15, and the suspension release device 12 are fixedly connected from top to bottom by threads.
[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown in the enlarged schematic diagram of the first part, the blasting plugging valve 2 includes a valve core 3, a valve core pressure cap 4, and a valve core liquid hole 5. The hydraulic pump charges pressure into the second cavity through the valve core 3 and the valve core liquid hole 5. The valve core pressure cap 4 is detachably connected to the valve core liquid hole 5. In some embodiments, the valve core pressure cap 4 is rotatably connected. When the hydraulic pump charges pressure toward the second cavity through the valve core 3 and the liquid hole 5, the flexible expansion tool 10 is pressurized to expand and seal the expansion tube 11. The sealing can be achieved by rotating and tightening the valve core pressure cap 4 to maintain the expansion state. The pressure can be released by rotating the valve core pressure cap 5 in the opposite direction.
[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 4The third part is shown in the enlarged schematic diagram, the limit assembly includes a suspension disconnector 12 and a locking block 13, the suspension disconnector 12 is arranged on the radial outer side of the expansion tube 11, and the locking block 13 is arranged on the radial outer side of the suspension disconnector 12, when the pressure in the system reaches the second threshold, the shear nail 14 on the suspension disconnector 12 is automatically disconnected, and the locking block 13 is radially retracted to release the restriction on the suspension disconnector 12, thereby further releasing the restriction on the expansion tube 11. In some embodiments, the bursting disc 8 of the burst plugging valve 2 is opened by pressure, so that the pressure in the oil pipe enters the adaptive pipe service system through the radial hole 7, further improving the pressure strength, starting the shear nail 14 of the suspension disconnector 12, and the locking block 13 is radially retracted to release the restriction on the expansion tube 11. The present invention realizes the fixation of the initial position of the expansion tube through the limit assembly, and can also automatically release the restriction on the position of the expansion tube through pressure, which effectively reduces the difficulty of the operation while ensuring the operation effect.
[0048] Furthermore, the calibration gauge 9 includes a gauge body, a variable diameter sliding body and a variable diameter driving device, and the variable diameter sliding body is arranged at the end of the gauge body. The variable diameter function can be realized by pressure. The variable diameter sliding body can quickly adapt and change based on the actual size in the oil well and the well compensation situation, and the present invention integrates the calibration gauge and the expansion tool in a service system, which can realize the diameter inspection of one trip after the compensation, greatly reducing the complexity of the operation.
[0049] In some embodiments, a hydraulic pump is connected to the valve core 3 on the ground through a hydraulic pipeline, and the pressure is increased by 2-3Mpa to expand and seal the flexible expansion tool 10 with the expansion tube 11, and the valve core pressure cap 4 is rotated to block the valve core liquid hole 5, and the expansion tool 10 remains expanded and sealed with the expansion tube 11; the differential pressure valve 1 is further connected to the burst plug valve 2 by threads, and the adaptive in-pipe service system is transported to the predetermined well depth by the oil pipe; in a positive cycle, the bursting disc 8 of the burst plug valve 2 is opened by pressure, so that the pressure in the oil pipe enters the adaptive in-pipe service system through the radial hole 7, and the suspension release device 12 is further pressed to start the shear nail 14, and the lock block 13 is radially retracted to release the restriction on the expansion tube 11; the ground pressure is increased, and the pressure is stabilized for 10 minutes, and the expansion tube 1 is fully expanded. 1 is applied to the casing and the ground pressure is released; the adaptive in-pipe service system moves half of the rubber cylinder of the flexible expansion tool 10 downward until the expansion tube 11 is completely applied to the casing; the adaptive in-pipe service system continues to move downward until the calibration gauge 9 passes through the expansion tube 11 section to check the inner diameter of the expansion tube 11 with a thick patch; the adaptive in-pipe service system continues to move downward, the ground weight indicator shows that the positioning indicator 16 enters the expansion tube 11, the ground oil pipeline channel is closed, and the annulus pressure test is performed to test the pressure bearing capacity of the expansion tube 11 after the patching; the differential pressure valve 1, the positioning indicator 16, the burst plugging valve 2, the calibration gauge 9, the flexible expansion tool 10, the connecting oil pipeline 15, and the suspension disconnector 12 are raised to complete the construction operation.

[0054] S4: continue to increase the pressure to fully expand the flexible expansion tool so that the expansion tube is attached to the inner wall of the oil pipe. The flexible expansion tool releases pressure and moves to the lower end of the oil pipe. This step is repeated until the expansion tube is completely attached to the oil pipe.
[0055] The S5 system continues to move downward to allow the calibration gauge to pass through the expansion pipe section;
[0056] S6 closes the surface oil pipeline channel and performs annular pressure test to test the pressure bearing capacity of the expansion pipe after it is subsidized.
[0057] In some embodiments, the service system further includes a positioning indicator. Therefore, in S6, closing the surface oil pipeline channel and conducting an annular pressure test to determine the pressure bearing capacity of the expansion pipe after the expansion pipe is remedied further includes:
[0058] The system continues to move toward the lower end until the ground weight gauge shows that the positioning indicator has entered the expansion tube. The ground oil pipeline channel is closed and the annulus pressure test is carried out to test the pressure bearing capacity of the expansion tube after the expansion tube is refitted.
[0059] Further, in S2, the first pressure threshold is 30-40 MPa.
