Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a sliding sleeve for downhole stratified fracturing of an oil and gas well, in particular to an open controllable differential pressure sliding sleeve for fracturing and acidizing of an oil and gas well and a pressure testing method. Background Art

[0002] In the process of oil and gas field development, for the development of many low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs, fracturing, acidizing and other transformation measures are generally required. Downhole operation tools such as fracturing and acidizing generally need to withstand harsh downhole environments such as high pressure and high temperature. Especially for multi-stage fracturing completion projects, the process is complex, the types of downhole tools involved are many, and the technical requirements are high. The working performance of the supporting tools is crucial. For example: once a problem occurs with the sliding sleeve used for fracturing and acidizing, it is bound to cause downhole accidents and cause huge economic losses.

[0003] As the formation conditions of new wells become more and more complex, layered operations are becoming more and more common, and the working reliability of sliding sleeves used in downhole fracturing and acidizing is receiving more and more attention.

[0004] At present, conventional differential pressure opening fracturing sleeves are mainly used in the layered fracturing casing cementing completion string, installed at the very end of the string, and used for the first stage of fracturing. The sleeve can be directly opened for fracturing operations without perforating, with high operating efficiency and reduced operating costs. Therefore, it is widely used. At present, differential pressure sleeves mainly include direct opening differential pressure sleeves and delayed pressure testable differential pressure sleeves: direct opening differential pressure sleeves are directly opened by ground pressure, which cannot meet the pressure test requirements of the casing; delayed pressure testable differential pressure sleeves have a delay structure installed inside, and can be delayed when the ground is pressurized to the casing test pressure; after the pressure test, the sleeve is opened. However, due to changes in bottom hole conditions and construction and operation reasons, the delayed differential pressure sleeve has problems such as too short opening time or failure to open normally, which makes it unable to meet the construction requirements.

[0005] Through searching, the following related patent technologies have emerged to solve the above problems: Patent application No. 202123139997.3 discloses a toe end sliding sleeve capable of multiple pressure tests. The above utility model includes an upper joint, a center tube, a movable guide ring, a piston rod, a piston, a stop ring, a ball, a spring, a rupture disk and a lower joint.

[0006] The above-mentioned sliding sleeve can meet the function of two pressure tests. The piston rod and the piston are connected, and the hydraulic pressure on and off of the two ends of the piston are realized by changing the long and short tracks of the piston reversing structure.

[0007] However, the piston operating chamber is an air chamber, which will be affected by the internal and external pressure difference and air tightness, and the internal pressure of the tool will also be affected by the action of the piston rod. After the rupture disc ruptures, the test pressure will also be affected by the force bearing capacity of the reversing structure.

[0008] Patent application No. 201820152248.3 discloses a testable toe-end sleeve. The utility model includes a housing and an inner sleeve disposed in the housing. The inner sleeve includes an upper inner sleeve and a lower inner sleeve, the upper inner sleeve is provided with a flow limiting valve, and a rupture disk is provided on the side wall of the lower inner sleeve. When the rupture disk ruptures, the flow limiting valve limits the flow of grease in the oil chamber through the flow limiting valve, thereby realizing delayed opening of the sleeve.

[0009] However, the sliding sleeve still has the problem of short opening time or failure to open normally.

[0010] Patent application No. 201821811355.9 discloses a piston-type delayed opening toe end sliding sleeve. The utility model includes an upper joint, a shell, a delay mechanism, a central tube, an opening mechanism and a lower joint. When working, when the wellbore fluid reaches the set pressure value, the opening mechanism starts to drive the delay mechanism to start, and after the set time, the opening piston is pushed to move until the fracturing outer port is connected to the fracturing inner port.

[0011] However, the above utility model also has the problem of short opening time or failure to open normally.

[0012] In view of this, it is very necessary to provide an openable controllable pressure differential sliding sleeve for oil and gas well fracturing and acidizing to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an open controllable differential pressure sliding sleeve for oil and gas well fracturing and acidizing is provided with a central tube 5, a reversing piston 12 and a piston auxiliary rebound mechanism, wherein: the upper end of a force transmission inner tube 14 provided with a pressure transmission hole 14-1 is connected to the central tube 5, and the lower end is inserted into a sliding sleeve 18, and the central tube 5, the force transmission inner tube 14 and the sliding sleeve 18 are installed in the inner hole between the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 19; the spring outer tube 2 provided with a piston balance hole 2-1, the piston outer tube 11 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 provided with a circulation port 17-1 and a sliding sleeve balance hole 17-2 are connected to the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 19 in sequence from top to bottom. The reversing piston 12 provided with a pressure test track is connected to the piston connecting sleeve 13 and installed in the pressure operation chamber formed by the center tube 5, the force transmission inner tube 14, the piston outer tube 11 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17; the piston auxiliary rebound mechanism is installed in the annulus formed by the center tube 5 and the spring outer tube 2 and is located above the reversing piston 12; the piston outer tube 11 and the reversing piston 12 are connected by the piston starting shear pin 9, the guide screw 10 installed in the piston outer tube 11 is connected to the pressure test track of the reversing piston 12, and the sliding sleeve 18 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 are connected by the sliding sleeve opening shear pin 16.

[0036] In order to overcome the problem of short opening time or failure to open normally in the existing sliding sleeve device, the present invention connects the reversing piston 12 with the piston connecting sleeve 13 and installs it in the pressure operation chamber formed by the central tube 5, the force transmission inner tube 14, the piston outer tube 11 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17. The spring outer tube 2 is provided with a piston balance hole 2-1, the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 is provided with a circulation port 17-1 and a sliding sleeve balance hole 17-2, and the pressure operation chamber is an independent chamber.

[0037] Due to the piston balance hole 2-1 provided in the spring outer tube 2 and the sleeve balance hole 17-2 provided in the sleeve outer tube 17, no closed air cavity is formed in the device of the present invention. The device of the present invention will not be affected by the gas spring effect, nor will it be affected by the air tightness of the pressure operation chamber and the pressure balance chamber. The reversing piston is acted upon by the liquid pressure and the spring force, and the sleeve is only acted upon by the liquid pressure, so that the operating pressure of the reversing piston and the opening pressure of the sleeve are more stable.

[0038] During the pressure test operation, pressure is applied through the pressure transmission hole 14-1 in the force transmission inner tube 14, and the sliding sleeve 18 is not affected by the internal pressure and does not move. Moreover, due to the effect of the external pressure, the sliding sleeve 18 is subjected to an upward force, which can prevent the sliding sleeve 18 from opening.

[0039] Therefore, the present invention can prevent the sliding sleeve 18 from opening prematurely due to factors such as misoperation.

[0040] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the present invention also has the following embodiments: a preferred embodiment: the reversing piston 12 is a non-uniform diameter cylindrical body and the outer circle of the cylinder is provided with an external threaded connecting section, a piston starting shear nail groove 12-6, a pressure test track, a piston limiting connecting section and an external threaded connecting section in sequence from top to bottom; the piston starting shear nail groove 12-6 can be inserted into the piston starting shear nail groove 12-6, and the guide screw 10 can be inserted into the pressure test track, and sealing ring grooves are provided on the inner circle and the outer circle of the lower part of the piston limiting connecting section and seals are installed therein.

[0041] A preferred embodiment: piston limit blocks 12-4 and piston limit grooves 12-5 are evenly distributed and staggered above the sealing ring groove in the piston limit connecting section of the reversing piston 12; in the reversing piston 12, the outer diameter of the piston limit connecting section is larger than the outer diameter of the body where the pressure test track is located.

[0042] A preferred embodiment: the pressure test track is composed of a bent asymmetric track groove, and a track starting position 12-7, a track recovery position 12-1, a sleeve opening position 12-2 and a device pressure test position 12-3 are provided in the pressure test track. In the pressure test track, the track starting position 12-7 and the track recovery position 12-1, the device pressure test position 12-3 and the sleeve opening position 12-2 are arranged in parallel from top to bottom according to the height of the position of the track groove. The position of the device pressure test position 12-3 is higher than the sleeve opening position 12-2 and parallel to it in the longitudinal direction.

[0043] A preferred embodiment: at least one group of pressure test tracks is provided in the reversing piston 12, and the length of the sleeve opening track groove where the sleeve opening position 12-2 is located is greater than the length of the device pressure test track groove where the device pressure test position 12-3 is located; the inner circle of the piston connecting sleeve 13 threadedly connected to the reversing piston 12 is a stepped inner circle and an internal threaded connecting section, a pressure transmission chamber and a limit step are provided from top to bottom, the internal threaded connecting section is threadedly connected to the reversing piston 12, the pressure transmission chamber corresponds to the pressure transmission hole 14-1 in the force transmission inner tube 14, and the limit step cooperates with the limit step above the pressure transmission hole 14-1 of the force transmission inner tube 14.

[0044] A preferred embodiment: the piston outer tube 11 is a non-uniform cylindrical body and a piston start shear pin hole and a guide screw hole are provided in the upper body. The piston start shear pin hole and the guide screw hole are threaded holes and can be respectively loaded with the piston start shear pin 9 and the guide screw 10. The other end of the guide screw 10 is inserted into the track start position 12-7 of the pressure test track. One end of the piston start shear pin 9 is threadedly connected to the piston start shear pin hole on the piston outer tube 11, and the other end is installed in the piston start shear pin groove 12-6 in the reversing piston 12, which is used for the reversing piston 12 and the piston connecting sleeve 13 to limit the position during the casing lowering and completion process and before the overall casing pressure test, so as to prevent the reversing piston 12 from moving in advance, thereby opening the sliding sleeve 18.

[0045] A preferred embodiment: the inner cavity of the piston outer cylinder 11 below the piston starting shear pin 9 and the guide screw 10 is evenly distributed and staggered with outer cylinder limiting card blocks and outer cylinder limiting card slots, and the outer cylinder limiting card blocks and outer cylinder limiting card slots can be plugged into the piston limiting card slot 12-5 and the piston limiting card block 12-4 in the reversing piston 12. During the pressure test, in order to prevent the guide screw 10 from being overstressed, when the thrust generated by the pressure acting on the reversing piston 12 is greater than the shear force of the piston starting shear pin 9, the piston starting shear pin 9 is sheared; the reversing piston 12 moves upward and rotates a certain angle under the action of the guide screw 10 and the pressure test reversing track groove, and enters the device pressure test track groove. When the guide screw 9 is about to reach the device pressure test position 13-3 of the pressure test track, the upper plane of the piston limiting card block 12-4 in the reversing piston 12 contacts the lower plane of the outer cylinder limiting card block set in the piston outer cylinder 11 and is subjected to force. At this time, the piston connecting sleeve 13 also moves upward with the reversing piston 12, and the limiting step at the lower part of its inner circle is close to the limiting step position above the pressure transmission hole 14-1 in the force transmission inner tube 14. During the casing pressure test, the guide screw 10 is not affected by the force generated during the pressure test and can meet the test requirements of higher pressure.

[0046] A preferred embodiment: the sliding sleeve 18 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 are both non-uniform diameter cylindrical bodies and overlap each other. After the sliding sleeve 18 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 are overlapped, a pressure balance chamber is formed between the sliding sleeve 18 and the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 and the lower joint 19, and the pressure balance chamber corresponds to the sliding sleeve balance hole 17-2; the sliding sleeve outer tube 17 and the sliding sleeve 18 are connected by the sliding sleeve opening shear nail 16.

[0047] A preferred embodiment: a sleeve starting shear pin 15 is also installed between the upper end of the sleeve outer tube 17 and the force transmission inner tube 14; at least two sleeve starting shear pins 15 are provided, at least three sleeve opening shear pins 16 are provided, and at least two pressure transmission holes 14-1 in the force transmission inner tube 14 are provided.

[0048] A preferred embodiment: the upper joint 1, the spring outer tube 2, the piston outer tube 11, the sleeve outer tube 17 and the lower joint 19 are threadedly connected in sequence from top to bottom; the piston auxiliary rebound mechanism is provided with a spacer ring 3, a spring 4, a support ring 6, a support ball 7 and an adjusting ring 8, and the spacer ring 3, spring 4, support ring 6, support ball 7 and adjusting ring 8 are installed in sequence from top to bottom in the annulus formed by the center tube 5 and the spring outer tube 2; the upper end surface of the adjusting ring 8 and the lower end of the support ring 6 are both provided with grooves, and the support ball 7 is installed in the groove between the adjusting ring 8 and the support ring 6; the lower inner circle of the adjusting ring 8 is threadedly connected to the upper outer circle of the reversing piston 12 and can move with the movement of the reversing piston 12, thereby assisting the reversing and resetting of the pressure test track in the reversing piston 12.

[0049] The pressure testing method for opening a controllable differential pressure sliding sleeve for oil and gas well fracturing and acidizing comprises the following steps: A. Pressurizing the inside of the casing from the ground and breaking the piston start shear pin 9; In this process: when the casing is pressure tested, the high-pressure fluid in the inner cavity of the device of the present invention enters the pressure operating cavity from the pressure transmission hole 14 - 1 of the force transmission inner tube 14 and acts on the lower part of the reversing piston 12 .

[0050] When the thrust generated by the pressure acting on the reversing piston 12 is greater than the shear force of the piston starting shear pin 9, the piston starting shear pin 9 is sheared off, the reversing piston 12 moves upward and rotates a certain angle under the action of the guide screw 10 and the track groove, and enters the pressure test reversing track groove.

[0051] When the guide screw 10 is about to reach the device pressure test position 12-3 in the pressure test reversing track groove, the upper plane of the piston limit block 12-4 in the reversing piston 12 contacts the lower plane of the outer cylinder limit block set in the piston outer cylinder 11. At this time, the piston connecting sleeve 13 also moves up with the reversing piston 12, and the limit step at the lower part of its inner circle is close to the limit step position above the pressure transmission hole 14-1 in the force transmission inner tube 14. When the device of the present invention is tested on the casing, the guide screw 10 is not affected by the force generated during the pressure test, so it can meet the test requirements of higher pressure.

[0052] B. After the first casing pressure test is completed, the pressure is released; under the elastic force of the spring 4 in the piston auxiliary rebound mechanism, the reversing piston 12 moves downward, and rotates a certain angle under the action of the guide screw 10 and the track groove in the pressure test track, and the guide screw 10 enters the track recovery position 12-1 in the reversing piston 12. The number of pressure test tracks is at least one set, and can also be set according to the number of pressure tests. Regardless of how many sets of pressure test tracks are set, each time a pressure test is performed, the upper plane of the piston limit block 12-4 in the reversing piston 12 is in contact with the lower plane of the outer cylinder limit block set in the piston outer cylinder 11.

[0053] C. After all pressure tests are completed, pressurize again and open the controllable pressure differential sleeve.

[0054] When all the pressure tests are completed, the pressure is applied again to allow the reversing piston 12 to move upward, and under the action of the guide screw 10 and the track groove in the pressure test track, it rotates a certain angle to enter the sleeve opening track groove and the sleeve opening position 12-2 to open the device of the present invention.

[0055] Because in the present invention, the length of the sliding sleeve opening track groove is longer than the device pressure test track groove, at this time, the piston limit block 12-4 in the reversing piston 12 corresponds to the outer tube limit groove in the inner circle of the piston outer tube 11. Therefore, the piston limit block 12-4 in the reversing piston 12 enters the outer tube limit groove in the piston outer tube 11, and the piston connecting sleeve 13 also continues to move upward with the reversing piston 12, so that the limit step in the piston connecting sleeve 13 contacts the limit step in the force transmission inner tube 14 to bear force.

[0056] When the applied force is greater than the shear force of the sleeve starting shear pin 15, the sleeve starting shear pin 15 is sheared off, and the piston connecting sleeve 13 drives the force transmission inner tube 14 to move upward; when the force transmission inner tube 14 moves upward to allow the sealing ring set in the inner hole of the sleeve 18 to be exposed, the pressure of the inner cavity in the device of the present invention will act on the upper part of the sleeve 18.

[0057] When the thrust generated by the pressure acting on the sleeve 18 is greater than the shear force of the sleeve opening shear pins 16, the sleeve opening shear pins 16 are sheared off, the sleeve 18 moves downward and opens the circulation port 17-1 in the sleeve outer tube 17, the fracturing channel of the device of the present invention is opened, and the fracturing construction can begin.
