Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular relates to a downhole cutting tool for a stuck coiled tubing and an application method thereof, and specifically relates to a downhole cutting tool for unblocking a coiled tubing string when the coiled tubing string itself is stuck during coiled tubing construction and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Coiled tubing operation technology is widely used in the field of oil and gas field exploration and development. It is inevitable that the coiled tubing string will get stuck. However, in the process of handling the coiled tubing string when it gets stuck, it is difficult to use conventional methods to unblock and salvage it due to its small diameter, strong elasticity, high toughness and inability to rotate. The usual unblocking method can only be to pull it vigorously, and then salvage it in sections after breaking it off, causing the coiled tubing to be scrapped. Its construction procedure is complicated and the cycle is long. Although chemical cutting and shaped charge bombs can also be used at present, they require wellhead cutting and well killing, and are prone to corrosion damage to the oil casing, resulting in a high construction risk, which limits their use.

[0003] Internationally, a cable-transmitted small-diameter hot-melt internal cutting tool is used to release stuck pipes for salvage. However, this is because it requires the use of high-energy fuel to produce ion beam cutting, requires secondary hole opening balance, requires well pressure, has irregular fish tops after cutting, requires cutting of continuous tubing at the wellhead, and requires the use of high-load lifting equipment. There are many restrictions on its use, so a continuous tubing string downhole cutting tool has been developed for this purpose. Summary of the invention

The self-locking anchoring is achieved through the self-locking surface, so that the entire set of tools is always fixed on the continuous oil pipe. After the cutting is completed, all the mechanism components are recovered and taken out by relying on its fixation.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the split-petal recovery slip group 4 is a combination of six petals, which is used to engage with the blocked coiled tubing string 1 during cutting and salvaging and anchor by self-locking through the self-locking surface.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the split cylindrical cone slip sleeve 3 is a cylindrical assembly surrounded by two petals, which is used to form a fixing mechanism with the inwardly contracted split recovery slip 4 and fix it on the blocked coiled tubing string 1. Each petal body includes a recovery slip cone sleeve self-locking inclined surface 13 and a recovery slip cone sleeve shear pin hole 15.

[0061] Furthermore, the split cylindrical cone cava sleeve 3 is provided with a mortise and tenon structure key and keyway running through the upper and lower parts, a pin fixation is provided near the upper part, a recovery cava cone sleeve shear pin hole 15 is provided at the lower part, and the interior is a hexagonal inclined cavity, and a recovery cava cone sleeve self-locking inclined surface 13 with a taper of 7°19′ is formed in the inclined cavity.

[0062] The self-locking inclined surface 13 of the recovery slip cone sleeve cooperates with the self-locking inclined surface 14 of the recovery slip to form self-locking, and the shear pin hole 15 of the recovery slip cone sleeve is connected with the corresponding recovery slip shear pin hole 16 through the first shear pin 17.

[0063] In this embodiment, the anchoring and cutting mechanism includes a split cutter key plate group 7, a split anchoring cava group 5, and a split cutter key plate recovery spring 8. The split anchoring cava group 5 is engaged and anchored with the production tubing 9 to form a cutting force point, and the split cutter key plate group 7 is tightened inward to cut the continuous oil tubing.

[0064] like Figure 6As shown, the split-flap anchoring slip group 5 is a six-flap combination, which is assembled in the split-flap outer sleeve body 2, and each flap body includes an anchoring slip inclined surface 19, an anchoring slip hoop spring groove 21, an anchoring slip shear pin hole 22, and an anchoring slip tooth 25. The outer side of each flap body is provided with an anchoring slip tooth 25, the inner side is provided with an anchoring slip inclined surface 19, and the lower end is provided with an anchoring slip shear pin hole 22. The split-flap anchoring slip group 5 is assembled in the split-flap outer sleeve body, and the anchoring slip tooth 25 is exposed on the sleeve window 11. The anchoring slip tooth 25 is used to engage and anchor with the production pipe string 9 and can tighten the split-flap cutter key plate group 7 inward to cut (cut) the blocked continuous oil pipe string 1.

[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, the split cutter key plate group 7 is a combination of six petals, each petal body includes an anchoring cava hoop spring 6, a cutter key plate inclined surface 20, a cutter key plate shear pin hole 23, and a cutting knife 26, wherein each petal body is provided with a cutting knife 26 on one side, and a cutter key plate inclined surface 20 with a taper of 7°19′ is provided on the upper end of the other side, which is used to cooperate with the corresponding anchoring cava inclined surface 19, and a cutter key plate shear pin hole 23 is opened on the cutter key plate inclined surface 20, the bottom end is a flat end, and the edge is cut at an angle to guide the entry.

[0066] Among them, the anchoring slip tooth 25 has a 90° structural angle and is bidirectionally anchored. A cutter cone seat with an anchoring slip bevel 19 and a self-locking angle of 7°19′ is provided on the inner side. The anchoring slip bevel 19 cooperates with the corresponding cutter key plate bevel 20. The anchoring slip shear pin hole 22 is connected with the corresponding cutter key plate shear pin hole 23 through a second shear pin 24. The anchoring slip hoop spring 6 is clamped with the anchoring slip hoop spring groove 21 to enable the petals of the split-petal anchoring slip group to be enclosed on the blocked continuous oil pipe string 1.

[0067] Furthermore, each petal of each split cutter key plate group 7 is provided with a recovery spring cutter key plate fixing hook 28, and the recovery spring cutter key plate fixing hook 28 is welded to each petal of the split cutter key plate.

[0068] In this embodiment, the split outer sleeve body 2 further includes a U-shaped cutter key plate recovery spring 8. Figure 8 As shown, one side of the U-shaped cutter key plate recovery spring 8 is fixed to the split outer sleeve 2 through the recovery spring cylinder fixing pin 27, and the other side is passed through the leaf spring groove of the split cutter key plate group 7 through the recovery spring cutter key plate fixing hook 28, and can move up and down in the fixing hook; wherein, the spring cylinder fixing pin 27 is connected to the spring pin hole groove 12.

[0069] Furthermore, the function of the U-shaped cutter key plate recovery hanging spring 8 is to make the cutter of the split cutter key plate group 7 close to the stuck continuous oil pipe string 1; secondly, when the cutting is completed, the continuous oil pipe string is lifted up, and the split anchoring cava group 5 is driven upward along the lower edge of the upper cylinder window 11 of the outer sleeve body 2, so that the self-locking of the anchoring cava slope 19 and the cutter key plate slope 20 is eliminated, and after the split anchoring cava 5 is released and anchored, the continuous oil pipe attached to the inner circle of the split cutter key plate group 7 is removed and falls apart. At this time, the U-shaped cutter key plate recovery hanging spring 8 hooks the split cutter key plate group 7 and is taken out with the outer sleeve body 2; thirdly, the U-shaped cutter key plate recovery hanging spring 8 can move up and down in the handle to form an up and down moving range of the shear pin.

[0070] In this embodiment, the weighted activation mechanism is a split-petal cylindrical weighted body, which is used to strike the shear pin and activate the cutting and salvaging tool when the coiled tubing string is stuck;

[0071] like Fig. 9 As shown, the petal-type cylindrical weighted excitation mechanism includes a petal-type cylindrical weighted excitation cylinder body 29 , a dovetail anchor block 30 , and a fixing pin 31 .

[0072] Furthermore, the petal-type cylinder-type weighted excitation cylinder 29 is made of tungsten-nickel-iron with a relatively high density (18.75 g / cm 3 ), the left and right shells of the two halves are inserted into each other's square arc grooves, and are positioned and locked with a dovetail anchor block 30 and a fixing pin 31 to form a complete circular shell.

[0073] In this embodiment, the cutting tool device is connected in sequence from bottom to top with a split cutter key plate group 7, a split anchoring cava group 5, a split outer sleeve body 2, a split recovery cava group 4, a split cylindrical cone cava sleeve 3 and a split cylindrical weighted excitation mechanism 9 for activating the cutter.

[0074] Embodiment 2 provides an application method of a downhole cutting tool for a stuck coiled tubing, comprising the following contents:

[0075] Step 1: Select the appropriate size of coiled tubing string cutting and salvage tool, close the semi-closed gate and slip gate, release the injection head after the slip is loaded, and then open the blowout preventer.

[0076] Step 2: Install the anchoring and cutting mechanism, the recovery fixing mechanism and the split outer sleeve body, and after inspection, lift the tool string into the blowout preventer;

[0077] Specifically, the split recovery slip group 4 in the recovery fixing mechanism is matched with the corresponding first shear pin 17 to enclose the stuck coiled tubing string 1;

[0078] After the split cone cutter key plate set 7 in the anchoring and cutting mechanism is matched with the corresponding second shear pin 24, it is enclosed on the blocked coiled tubing string 1 through the anchoring slip hoop spring 6;

[0079] Insert the split outer sleeve body 2, connect and cooperate with the corresponding split anchoring cava group 5, split cutter key plate group 7, and U-shaped cutter key plate recovery hanging spring 8, and then use screws to pass through the split sleeve body fixing pin hole groove 10 and fix it with the corresponding pin hole on the top of the split recovery cava cone sleeve 3.

[0080] Step 3: Apply a certain upward load tension through the injection head to keep the coiled tubing basically in a straight state, and open the semi-closed gate and slip gate.

[0081] Step 4: Release the installed cutting tool string and let it fall along the stuck coiled tubing. During this period, the coiled tubing can be moved slightly (relax the tension and lift the tension - it must not exceed the original lifting tension);

[0082] Specifically, the entire cutting tool string is dropped into the well along the stuck coiled tubing string 1, and the cutting tool is allowed to fall along the stuck coiled tubing by itself. During this period, the coiled tubing can be slightly moved to creep and straighten it, helping the cutting tool string to descend to the stuck position.

[0083] Step 5: Close the semi-closed gate and the slip gate, release the injection head after the slip is loaded, and then open the blowout preventer;

[0084] Step 6: Install the split-type cylindrical weighted excitation mechanism, and after inspection, lift the tool string into the blowout preventer;

[0085] Specifically, the split-type cylindrical weighted excitation mechanism is put into use, and the tool string is impacted under the action of gravity, thereby shearing the two pins of "split-type recovery cava group 4 and corresponding split-type cylindrical cone cava sleeve 3" and "split-type cutter key plate group 7 and corresponding split-type anchoring cava group 5", namely the first shear pin 17 and the second shear pin 24.

[0086] The split recovery slip group 4 is tightened and clamped to the coiled tubing 1 during the downward movement of the split cylindrical cone slip sleeve 3, and is fixed under the effect of the self-locking angle. At the same time, the cutter key plate inclined surface 20 of the split cutter key plate group 7 cooperates with the anchoring slip inclined surface 19 of the split anchoring slip group 5, and the cutting knife 26 is tightened and cuts into the coiled tubing 1 body, and the split anchoring slip group 5 is clamped to the inner wall of the production string 9 to form a fulcrum.

[0087] Step 7: Apply a certain lifting load tension through the injection head to make the coiled tubing basically in a straight state, open the semi-closed gate and the slip gate, and put into the split-petal cylindrical weighted excitation mechanism to make it fall along the stuck coiled tubing by itself. During this period, the coiled tubing can be moved slightly (relaxation tension, lifting tension-not exceeding the original lifting tension);

[0088] Step 8, lift the stuck coiled tubing string 1, the cutter 26 is tightened under the action of the anchor slip inclined surface 19 and the cutter key plate inclined surface 20, and cuts the coiled tubing body; continue to move the coiled tubing up and down, the cutter 26 gradually cuts into the stuck coiled tubing string 1 body, forming a stress concentration point, and the stuck coiled tubing string 1 is pulled off under a certain lifting load.

[0089] Step 9: After the stuck coiled tubing string 1 is pulled off, the cutting knife 26 becomes free and the split-type anchoring slip group 5 is released from anchoring.

[0090] Step 10: Pull out the coiled tubing and tool string to complete the unblocking and salvaging work;

[0091] Specifically, the stuck coiled tubing string 1 is lifted up, and the recovery and fixing mechanism device fixed on the coiled tubing string is driven by the split outer sleeve body 2 to lift the "recovery and fixing mechanism device" that is released from the fixed state and move together with the coiled tubing to the ground.

[0092] In this embodiment, the downhole cutting device for the stuck point of the continuous oil tubing is of a split-petal design. It is lowered into the well without cutting the continuous oil tubing, and the continuous oil tubing is effectively stress-cut under the external force of the excitation device. Then, the continuous oil tubing is lifted up to ensure that the continuous oil tubing breaks at the stuck point without plastic deformation. At the same time, the downhole cutting device for the stuck point of the continuous oil tubing can be lifted out of the wellhead along with the broken continuous oil tubing.

[0093] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0094] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
