Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of downhole water injection tubing technology in oil extraction, specifically a safe replacement tubing string and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Water injection via injection wells is a crucial method for oilfields to maintain formation pressure and improve reservoir recovery. Currently, most oilfields in my country have transitioned from the initial natural energy development stage to water injection development. In the early stages of water injection development, water was injected indiscriminately based on the natural water absorption capacity of different oil layers (i.e., multiple oil layers were injected simultaneously). However, due to the existence of multiple underground oil layers, the water absorption capacity of layers with different permeabilities varies significantly, leading to sudden water injection surges and affecting development efficiency. To resolve this issue, stratified water injection strings are installed in the injection wells to increase the utilization rate of various oil layers.
[0003] For low-permeability reservoirs, due to their low oil layer permeability and high water injection pressure, anchoring tools such as hydraulic anchors, hydraulic slips, or anchoring packers are generally used to prevent tubing creep.
[0004] Publication No. CN112709557B discloses a safe and long-lasting water injection string and construction method for offshore oilfields, comprising: a sand control string and a water injection string, wherein the water injection string is installed inside the sand control string; the sand control string includes at least two filter pipes, each corresponding to a different oil layer, spaced apart from top to bottom on the casing; Y341 packers are installed between each pair of filter pipes, above the uppermost filter pipe, and below the lowermost filter pipe; the water injection string includes at least two adjustable water distributors, each corresponding to a different oil layer, spaced apart from top to bottom on the tubing; a setting switch is connected below each adjustable water distributor; and a hydraulically controlled stratified packer is installed above and below each setting switch. This invention enables the simultaneous installation of the sand control string and the water injection string, saving single-well construction time, and allows for reliable independent maintenance in offshore oilfields, extending the service life of the sand control string.
[0005] The existing technology uses a pull-out switch for forced disconnection, and if one packer fails and gets stuck, all packers need to be abandoned.
[0006] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN108999576B discloses an integrated water injection and sand control tubing string and its process. This integrated tubing string is located within the casing and includes at least one section of water injection and sand control tubing connected downwards from the wellhead via tubing. The water injection and sand control tubing string includes a water distributor, an upper sand-blocking packer, a sand control pipe, and a lower sand-blocking packer connected sequentially from top to bottom. The water distributor and the upper sand-blocking packer are connected via tubing. The sand control pipe includes a central pipe, an outer pipe, and a metal felt mesh located outside the outer pipe. An annular cavity exists between the central pipe and the outer pipe, and the outer pipe has a flow passage. Both the upper and lower sand-blocking packers are provided with flow channels connecting the annular cavity of the sand control pipe to the annulus of the casing. The upper and lower sand-blocking packers are located at the upper and lower ends of the oil layer, respectively, and a closed sand control space can be formed between the upper sand-blocking packer, the lower sand-blocking packer, the outer pipe of the sand control pipe, and the casing. Using this type of tubing can effectively prevent the water injection tubing from being buried by sand, thus improving the service life of the water injection tubing.
[0007] The existing technology uses a reverse-lock safety connector for forced disconnection, and if one packer fails and gets stuck, all packers need to be abandoned.
[0008] Publication No. CN111173483B discloses a time-sharing water injection string and method. The time-sharing water injection string includes an indoor control system, a wellhead control cabinet, a hydraulic control pipeline, tubing, a hydraulic control layered packer, and a hydraulic control water distribution device. Multiple hydraulic control layered packers and water distribution devices are included, with each packer setting its corresponding water distribution device in a different oil layer. The water distribution device uses stepped pressurization on the surface to control the switching of water distribution devices in different oil layers. The wellhead control cabinet monitors and records the injection volume of the oil layer and transmits this data remotely to the indoor control system. Simultaneously, it dynamically monitors the pressure of the hydraulic control pipeline to ensure the pressure remains within a reasonable range. The indoor control system controls the wellhead control cabinet via wired or wireless means. Based on the surface pressurization conditions, the time-sharing water injection string and method activate the corresponding water distribution device. A surface flow meter measures the flow rate of the injection layer, achieving intermittent, layered injection of the water injection well.
[0009] The existing technology does not have a safety release mechanism, which may result in the packer malfunction preventing the tubing from being pulled out.
[0010] In summary, the technical solutions, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the above-disclosed technologies are all different from those of the present invention. Regarding the more technical features, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the present invention, the above-disclosed technical documents do not provide any technical inspiration.

[0062] The second locking block sleeve and the second shear pin sleeve are made of cast iron and can be milled or drilled.
[0063] A method for using a safety inspection and replacement tubing string includes the following steps:
[0064] S1. Assemble the tubing string and run it into the well. According to the construction design depth, use tubing of different lengths to assemble the compensator, water distributor, type I packer, type II packer, and well washing valve and run them into the well to deliver them to the design depth, so that one water distributor corresponds to one injection layer.
[0065] S2, Setting: After reaching the design depth, first complete the setting of the lower type II packer. "Lift up" - "right turn" the tubing string. The second lower connector reversing block is in the long groove of the "7" shaped groove on the inner wall of the reversing sleeve. Lower the tubing string. At this time, the slips extend and lock onto the inner wall of the sleeve. Continue to lower the tubing string. The slips tighten, and the cone compresses the second rubber sleeve to achieve setting.
[0066] After the bottom type II packer is set, the tubing continues to be lowered to set the top type I packer. The type I packer will use the bottom type II packer as a support point. At this time, the tubing continues to be lowered. The first lower connector is fixed in place. The first inverted safety part, the first anchor release part, the third central tube, the upper outer sleeve, and the upper support body move downward. The upper support body compresses the first rubber sleeve to achieve setting. At this time, the first outlet hole coincides with the first drainage hole.
[0067] S3. Water injection: Open each level of water distributor, adjust the water distributor to the appropriate opening according to the injection volume requirements, and inject water into the oil pipe;
[0068] After the oil pipe is pressurized, the oil pipe pressure passes through the gap between the second central pipe and the first anchor body, pushes the first piston, and causes the anchor teeth to extend. The oil pipe pressure enters the pressure groove through the fourth pressure transmission hole, pushes the third piston, and causes the anchor claws to extend.
[0069] The oil pipe pressure passes through the second pressure transmission hole, causing the second piston to sit on the upper support body. The oil pipe pressure passes through the fifth pressure transmission hole, causing the fourth piston to sit on the upper retaining ring. The backwash channel is closed.
[0070] S4. Backwashing well: After stopping water injection and depressurizing the tubing, backwashing fluid is injected from the annulus of the casing. The backwashing fluid enters from the first inlet, causing the second piston to move under the backwashing pressure and push the second spring. The first backwashing channel opens, and the backwashing fluid is discharged from the first outlet and passes through a type 1 packer.
[0071] The backwash fluid enters through the second inlet, causing the fourth piston to push the fourth spring under backwash pressure. The second backwash channel opens, and the backwash fluid is discharged from the second outlet, passing through the type II packer.
[0072] The backwash fluid enters the tubing through the backwash valve and returns to the surface.
[0073] S5. Unsealing: After the tubing is depressurized, the anchor teeth and anchor claws of the Type I packer and Type II packer are retrieved, the tubing string is "lifted", the upper support of the Type I packer is moved upward, the first rubber sleeve is retrieved, and the Type I packer is unsealed.
[0074] Continue to "lift" the tubing string. The reversing block of the second lower connector of the type II packer moves from the lower end of the long groove of the reversing sleeve to the upper end. The slip is retracted, the cone is retracted, the second rubber sleeve loses compression, the second rubber sleeve is retracted, and the second packer is unsealed.
[0075] S6, Release and Milling: If the tubing gets stuck, use tubing "pressure boost" - "forward rotation" to release the tubing from the packer in reverse for safety. The remaining part in the well is then milled or drilled.
[0076] When the Type 1 packer is stuck: the tubing is raised to the shearing pressure of the first shear pin, the first shear pin sleeve of the Type 1 packer shears the first shear pin, which drives the locking block sleeve to move down, the first locking block pops out into the first receiving groove, the first upper connector and the first central tube are disengaged and pulled out by right-hand rotation, and the remaining part of the well is milled or drilled using wellbore processing tools.
[0077] When the Type II packer is stuck: the tubing is raised to the shearing pressure of the second shear pin, the second shear pin sleeve of the Type II packer shears the second shear pin, which drives the locking block sleeve to move down, the second locking block pops out into the second receiving groove, the second upper connector and the fourth central tube are disengaged and pulled out, and the remaining part of the well is milled or drilled using wellbore processing tools.
[0078] The shearing pressure of the second shear pin is less than that of the first shear pin.
[0079] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0080] 1. The two-stage packer in the tubing string achieves setting by the weight of the tubing itself, a mechanical setting method that is simple to operate and reliable. The type-one packer's setting mechanism has its setting track positioned on the inner wall of the reversing sleeve, avoiding direct contact with the wellbore fluid, eliminating the risk of affecting track reversal, and improving tool setting reliability. The type-one packer uses the set type-two packer as a support point, relying on the weight of the upper tubing string to compress the rubber sleeve to achieve setting, making setting simple and reliable.
[0081] 2. Lifting the tubing string releases the two-stage packers without additional load, making the operation simple, safe, and reliable. Both packers are designed with a reverse-lock safety mechanism, allowing for unscrewing if the tubing string becomes stuck later. The anchoring parts are made of cast iron, facilitating subsequent milling and drilling, reducing downhole tubing safety accidents, and enabling safe replacement of the tubing string.
[0082] 3. Both packers are designed with backwashing channels, and the tubing string can meet the needs of backwashing in the later stage. Attached Figure Description

[0116] Example 2:
[0117] Based on Example 1, the present invention provides a method for using a safe inspection and replacement tubing string, comprising the following steps:
[0118] S1. Assemble the tubing string and run it into the well. According to the construction design depth, use tubing of different lengths to assemble compensator 1, water distributor 2, type I packer 3, type II packer 4, and well washing valve 5 and run them into the well to deliver them to the design depth, so that one water distributor corresponds to one injection layer.
[0119] S2, Setting: After reaching the designed depth, first complete the setting of the lower type II packer 4. "Lift up" - "right turn" the tubing string. The second lower connector 1204 reversing block is in the long groove of the "7" shaped groove on the inner wall of the reversing sleeve 1203. Lower the tubing string. At this time, the slip 1201 extends and locks onto the inner wall of the sleeve. Continue to lower the tubing string. The slip 1201 tightens, and the cone 1104 compresses the second rubber sleeve 1103 to achieve setting.
[0120] After the bottom type II packer is set, the tubing continues to be lowered to set the top type I packer. The type I packer will use the bottom type II packer as a support point. At this time, the tubing continues to be lowered. The first lower connector 809 remains fixed. The first inverted safety part 6, the first anchoring release part 7, the third central tube 807, the upper outer sleeve 801, and the upper support body 804 move downward. The upper support body 804 compresses the first rubber sleeve 805 to achieve setting. At this time, the first outlet hole coincides with the first drainage hole.
[0121] S3. Water injection: Open each level of water distributor 2, adjust the water distributor to the appropriate opening according to the injection volume requirements, and inject water into the oil pipe;
[0122] After the oil pipe is pressurized, the oil pipe pressure passes through the gap between the second central pipe 701 and the first anchor body 703, pushes the first piston, and causes the anchor tooth 702 to extend. The oil pipe pressure enters the pressure groove through the fourth pressure transmission hole, pushes the third piston, and causes the anchor claw 1001 to extend.
[0123] The oil pipe pressure passes through the second pressure transmission hole, causing the second piston 803 to sit on the upper support body 804. The oil pipe pressure passes through the fifth pressure transmission hole, causing the fourth piston 1102 to sit on the upper retaining ring, and the backwash channel is closed.
[0124] S4. Backwashing well: After stopping water injection and depressurizing the tubing, backwashing fluid is injected from the annulus of the tubing. The backwashing fluid enters from the first inlet, causing the second piston 803 to push the second spring 802 under the backwashing pressure. The backwashing channel opens, and the backwashing fluid is discharged from the first outlet and passes through the type 1 packer 3.
[0125] The backwash fluid enters from the second inlet, causing the fourth piston 1102 to push the fourth spring 1101 under the backwash pressure, opening the backwash channel and discharging the backwash fluid from the second outlet, passing through the type II packer 4.
[0126] The backwashing fluid enters the tubing through well-washing valve 5 and returns to the surface;
[0127] S5. Unsealing: After the oil pipe is depressurized, the anchor teeth 702 and anchor claws 1001 of the type 1 packer 3 and the type 2 packer 4 are retracted, the tubing is "lifted", the upper support body 804 of the type 1 packer 3 is moved upward, the first rubber sleeve 805 is retracted, and the type 1 packer is unsealed.
[0128] Continue to "lift" the tubing string. The reversing block of the second lower connector 1204 of the type II packer 4 moves from the lower end of the long groove of the reversing sleeve 1203 to the upper end. The slip 1201 is retracted, the cone 1104 is retracted, the second rubber sleeve 1103 loses compression, and the second rubber sleeve 1103 is retracted, thus completing the unsealing of the second packer.
[0129] S6, Release, Drilling and Milling: If the tubing gets stuck later, the tubing can be "pressurized" and "rotated in the forward direction" to release the tubing from the packer. The remaining part in the well can be milled or drilled.
[0130] After the tubing is pressurized, the first shearing sleeve of the packer 3 cuts the first shearing nail 603, which drives the locking block sleeve to move down. The first locking block 602 pops out into the first receiving groove. The first upper connector 601 is disengaged from the first central tube 104 by right rotation and pulled out. The remaining part of the well is milled or drilled using wellbore processing tools.
[0131] After the tubing is pressurized, the second shear pin sleeve 905 of the type II packer cuts off the second shear pin, causing the second locking block sleeve 902 to move down, and the second locking block 903 pops out into the second receiving groove. The second upper connector 901 and the fourth central tube 904 are then disengaged and pulled out. The remaining part of the well is then milled or drilled using wellbore processing tools.
[0132] The shearing pressure of the second shear pin is less than that of the first shear pin 603. When there are at least two first shear pins, the deeper the position, the smaller the shearing pressure.
