Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum downhole plugging, and in particular relates to a vibration-assisted downhole in-situ metal plugging device and process. Background Art

[0002] With the extensive development of global oil and gas resources, a large number of oil and gas wells are entering the end of their life cycle. If abandoned oil and gas wells (i.e. abandoned wells) are not properly plugged, they may cause a series of environmental, economic and safety problems. This makes well plugging not only an important operation link in the later stage of oil and gas production, but also a key measure for the global energy industry to fulfill its environmental responsibilities and ensure sustainable development.

[0003] In the current abandoned well plugging operations, cement is the most commonly used material. However, the use of cement in the plugging field has problems such as volume shrinkage, cracking and penetration, mechanical failure, chemical corrosion, and high cost. In view of the defects of traditional cement, the industry is exploring new plugging materials and technologies, such as metal materials. Bismuth alloy has solidification and expansion properties, and its performance is better than that of cement. The plugging length of bismuth alloy is much shorter than that of traditional cement plugs, which reduces construction time and greatly reduces costs. It is generally considered to be a new method for underground plugging.

[0004] At present, Bi-Sn eutectic alloy is mainly used. In order to enhance the expansion blocking effect, the Bi content in the alloy can be increased. However, due to the density of Bi (9.78g / cm 3 ) is higher than Sn (7.28g / cm 3 ), the increase of Bi content will lead to the problem of uneven internal structure of the alloy during solidification, affecting the plugging performance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a device and process that can make the internal structure of the plugging alloy with high Bi content uniform.

[0005] In addition, thermite is currently used for underground metal plugging heating. The combustion temperature of thermite can reach 2500℃, which may cause damage to the wellbore. Thermite produces oxides or other by-products after reaction, and the residual products may affect the plugging performance. In addition, the production and storage of thermite for plugging also have safety hazards. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new and safe device and plugging process that can make the plugging tissue uniform. Summary of the invention

[0082] The plugging alloy is a Bi-Sn alloy material, and the characteristics of the alloy are: Sn accounts for 30% by mass; Bi metal accounts for 70% by mass.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, the solidification expansion rate of Bi-Sn alloy material is increased by 55% compared with Sn58Bi.

[0084] An in-situ metal plugging process, using the above-mentioned vibration-assisted downhole in-situ metal plugging device, comprises the following steps:

[0085] Placing a bridge plug 62 in the plugging area and pouring a cement plug 61 on the bridge plug 62;

[0086] After the cement plug 61 is fixed, the vibration-assisted downhole in-situ metal plugging device is placed;

[0087] The plugging alloy filled in the heating working area and alloy containing area component 3 is heated and oscillated by the electric energy and temperature control component 2 to be in a molten state, and then released by the bottom shell release component 4 to the top of the cement plug 61;

[0088] Remove the in-situ plugging device and wait for the molten plugging alloy to cool and solidify to form a metal plug.

[0089] The steps of this construction process include:

[0090] S1, placing a bridge plug 62 in the plugging area and injecting cement;

[0091] S2. Assemble the vibration-assisted downhole alloy melting tool, and after the squeezed cement is solidified to form the cement plug 61, place the downhole plugging Bi-Sn alloy material in the heating working area and the alloy containing component shell 32, connect the device to the connecting shaft 1 through a steel cable, hoist and transport it to the squeezed cement plug 61, and connect the ground power to the internal cable of the connecting shaft 1 through the cable;

[0092] S3. Start the ground power supply system, transmit electric energy to the underground through the cable to start the temperature control system 21. The temperature control system 21 starts to transmit current to the heating cable 33. The heating cable 33 includes a heat-resistant shell and an electric heating wire. The current is transmitted to the electric heating wire, which produces a current thermal effect. A large amount of heat is generated at the heating cable 33 to melt the Bi-Sn alloy material in the heating working area and the alloy containing component shell 32.

[0093] S4. After the downhole plugging Bi-Sn alloy is heated to a certain temperature, the working area sensor 36 receives the temperature signal and transmits an electrical signal to the temperature control system 21. After the temperature control system 21 receives a certain temperature greater than the melting point of the downhole plugging Bi-Sn alloy material, it controls the vibration generator 22 to start, and the vibration generator 22 controls the variable amplitude vibration head 34 to vibrate.

[0094] S5. When the downhole plugging Bi—Sn alloy melt is completely melted and the temperature rises to the temperature of the low melting point alloy plate 41, the low melting point alloy plate 41 melts, and the downhole plugging Bi—Sn alloy melt flows out of the heating working area and the alloy containing component shell 32.

[0095] S6. The temperature of the Bi-Sn alloy melt is detected by the housing sensor 35 for a period of time. The temperature control system 21 continues to heat the Bi-Sn alloy. The temperature control system 21 controls the vibration generator 22 to stop applying vibration, and the device is taken out to wait for the Bi-Sn alloy to solidify.

[0096] The vibration-assisted downhole melting alloy tool provided in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to wellbore plugging operations. Before the tool is lowered, a bridge plug 62 is arranged at the plugging position, and then 10-20 m of cement is squeezed and injected to form a cement plug 61 after solidification.

[0097] Assemble the vibration-assisted downhole alloy melting tool, place the downhole plugging Bi-Sn alloy material in the heating working area and the alloy containing component shell 32, connect the vibration-assisted downhole alloy melting tool to the connecting shaft 1 through a steel cable, lift and transport it to the squeezed cement plug 61, and connect the ground power to the internal cable of the connecting shaft 1 through the cable.

[0098] The ground power supply system is started, and electric energy is transmitted to the underground through the cable to start the temperature control system 21. The temperature control system 21 is started to transmit current to the heating cable 33 to melt the sealing alloy material stored in the heating working area and the alloy containing component shell 32.

[0099] After the temperature of the alloy melt reaches 200°C, the vibration generator 22 is started, and the temperature control system 21 controls the temperature to remain at this temperature. At the same time, the vibration generator 22 is started to drive the variable amplitude vibration head 34 to vibrate. In this embodiment, a vibration generator 22 with a frequency of 20kHZ is used to drive the variable amplitude vibration head 34 of the titanium alloy to input vibration for 5 minutes. At this temperature, the low melting point alloy plate 41 melts, and the vibration-assisted downhole alloy melting tool and the casing 51 form a connecting vessel. The melt fills the pores of the cement plug under the action of vibration.

[0100] Remove the heating device in the melt state, wait until the tool is completely out of the melt, and stop heating and vibration.

[0101] Combination Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, when no vibration is applied, Fig.12 Region a and region b show obvious differences in organization, indicating that uneven distribution of elements and organization will occur in the alloy plug when no vibration is applied. Fig.11 It shows that the vibrated and solidified tissue is refined and its homogeneity is greatly improved.

[0102] Compared with the traditional technology, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0103] 1. Use hypereutectic Bi-Sn with a higher melting point than Bi-Sn eutectic alloy

[0104] The alloy has a higher melting point and a higher service temperature underground than the Bi-Sn eutectic alloy. At the same time, due to the larger solidification expansion rate of the alloy, it has better sealing properties.

[0105] 2. The heating area and the alloy storage area are integrated in one area, which reduces the volume and weight of the tool. After melting by the electric heating device, the tool heating area and the casing are connected by melting the low-melting-point alloy plate. Compared with the integrated cast Bi-Sn alloy shell used abroad, it has lower cost and simpler processing.

[0106] 3. Use vibration-assisted means to promote the homogenization of alloy plug elements, improve the ability to seal the melt filling cement plug gaps, and improve sealing performance.

[0107] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0108] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
