Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention discloses a rotary shocking expansion shaper, which belongs to the field of deformed casing repair. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas field development, due to factors such as engineering or geological changes, the downhole casing will be deformed and damaged, resulting in a decrease in production efficiency or even suspension of production, which seriously affects the implementation of subsequent measures for the well. Especially for the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, according to incomplete statistics, the casing deformation rate of shale oil and gas wells is ≥35%, with an annual growth rate of more than 24.5%. At the same time, the casing steel grade has been continuously improved from the original N80 and P110 to the current TP125 and even P140 steel grade casing. The casing deformation and shaping has become more and more difficult. Therefore, casing deformation and shaping has become a key link in the recovery of damaged wells.
[0003] At present, the methods for repairing sleeve changes at home and abroad are mainly mechanical shaping, explosive shaping, sleeve milling, etc., all of which have certain problems. For example, the explosive shaping has a publication number (CN2437844Y) with low reliability and poor controllability, and is prone to secondary damage to the sleeve; the ball shaping has a publication number (CN112377135A) in which the steel ball is prone to fall off during the shaping process, which makes the processing difficult and the construction period long. It is inefficient to replace tools of different specifications to deal with different sleeve changes; the expansion tube shaping has a publication number (CN208870560U) in which after the sleeve is squeezed and expanded, the elastic recovery force of the sleeve material itself will reduce the size of the expander, causing drill jamming.
[0004] In view of the above problems, a rotary shock expansion shaper is proposed to optimize the casing shaping technology and improve the shaping efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a rotary jarring expander to improve the repair efficiency of deformed casing. The present invention innovatively uses a repair method combining a hydraulic impact assembly with a rotary expansion to achieve the purpose of jarring the repair of the deformed casing, which can realize continuous pipeline repair operations and reduce operating costs.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rotary shock-type expansion and shaping tool, which converts traditional axial force shaping into multiple shock-type shaping, so that the sleeve change position produces fatigue damage and the shaping efficiency is improved; and when the rotary expansion component is working, the expansion plate completely covers the sleeve change position to prevent the expansion plate from breaking due to the unknown azimuth angle of the sleeve change position. At the same time, there is a certain torque when the expansion plate is recovered and expanded, which can prevent the drill from getting stuck and ensure the shaping effect.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions:

The shock block is provided with a No. 1 chamber through which the plunger can pass, and two guide grooves are provided on the side, namely, a No. 1 guide groove and a No. 2 guide groove, which are connected with the No. 2 guide pipe through the No. 1 guide pipe, and are used for pressure relief when the shock block slides to different positions. The bottom is provided with a No. 2 chamber through which the pressure relief pipe can pass, and is used for pressure holding and pressure relief; the guide block is fixedly connected to the housing through a thread, the top of the plunger is connected to the bottom of the guide block through a thread, and a flow channel is provided inside the plunger;

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a flow channel with a diameter of 10 mm is provided inside the plunger so as to have a sufficient flow rate, thereby ensuring high-frequency vibration of the hydraulic impact assembly.
[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the number of expansion pieces is 12, which are evenly connected to form a ring. Under the joint action of the cone surface of the impact head and the cone surface of the pressure relief pipe, the expansion piece can only rely on the slide grooves and sliders set on the front and back sides to slide in a limited manner. Torque will be generated during this sliding. When working, the expansion piece must just coincide with the inner diameter of the casing to be repaired or be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the casing to achieve a good repair effect.
[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, an arc-shaped protrusion is provided on the shaping surface of the expansion sheet, and the pressure calculation formula is The protrusion is used to reduce the contact area with the sleeve change position, thereby increasing the pressure and improving the repair effect.

It can be applied to sleeves of different sizes, and the shaping range is also larger than that of traditional expansion shapers.
[0020] 3. The rotary expansion assembly of the present invention generates a certain torque during expansion and contraction. During expansion, it generates both radial force and tangential force along the contact surface. The shaping force is greater, the shaping process is faster, and the shaping cycle is reduced.
[0021] 4. When the expansion piece contracts, there is a torque in the reverse direction, which can prevent the drill from getting stuck and has a certain unblocking effect, making the plastic surgery process more reliable and safe.
[0022] 5. During the expansion process, the expansion piece always keeps completely covering the circumference of the sleeve transformer to prevent the expansion piece from breaking due to the unknown azimuth of the sleeve transformer.
[0023] 6. In terms of technology, the expansion piece of the present invention is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion. According to the principle that the smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure, this method is used to reduce the contact area with the sleeve change position, thereby increasing the pressure and improving the repair effect.

[0034] The scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0035] Example:
[0036] Reference Figure 1-6 The present invention provides an embodiment: a rotary shock-type expansion shaper, which can be connected in sequence to a hydraulic impact component 2, a connecting component 1, and an expansion component 3.
[0037] Reference Figure 1The top of the shell 103 is connected to the joint 101 through threads, the bottom of the joint 101 is in contact with the guide block 201, and the bottom of the guide block 201 is in contact with the protrusion of the shell 103 and has a certain limiting effect.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 The top of the plunger 203 is connected to the threaded hole reserved at the bottom of the guide block 201 through a thread. A sealing rubber ring is provided at the plug head at the lower end of the plunger 203, which cooperates with the No. 1 chamber 208 at the upper end of the shock block 202. A flow channel is opened inside the plunger 203.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The upper part of the shock block 202 is provided with a No. 1 chamber 208 for the piston 203 to pass through, and cooperates with the sealing rubber ring on the piston 203 to form a certain sealing effect. The side is provided with a No. 1 guide groove 206 which is connected with the No. 1 chamber 208 through the No. 1 guide pipe 204; the bottom of the shock block 202 is provided with a No. 2 chamber 209 for the pressure relief pipe 106 to pass through, and cooperates with the pressure relief pipe 106 through the rubber ring to form a certain sealing effect. The side is provided with a No. 2 guide groove 207 which is connected with the No. 2 chamber 209 through the No. 2 guide pipe 205.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 Figure 3 Figure 5 and Figure 7 The impact head 301 is placed in the shell 103. A buffer rubber gasket 102 is laid on the top of the impact head 301. The bottom is divided into four even petals, which pass through the limiting hole 105 at the bottom of the shell 103. The limiting hole 105 provides a certain axial guiding effect for it. A disc spring 301 is installed between the shell 103 and the impact head 301 to play a restoring role.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 The surface of the expansion piece 304 is provided with a cylindrical protrusion, which increases the pressure by reducing the contact area with the sleeve, thereby reducing the difficulty of the shaping process. A slider 305 and a slide groove 306 are provided on the front and rear sides thereof, and two holes are provided for the resetting rubber strip 303 to pass through.
[0042] Reference Figure 6 Every two expansion pieces 304 are slidably connected with the slide groove 306 through the slider 305, and the same method is used to connect 12 expansion pieces 304 into a ring-shaped whole. The reset rubber strip 303 connects the expansion pieces 304 in series through the hole, ensuring that they can automatically shrink after each repair. The expansion piece 304 is integrally sleeved on the pressure relief pipe 106, and its one side conical surface contacts the conical surface of the impact head 301, and the other side conical surface contacts the conical surface of the pressure relief pipe 106, which plays a boosting role during expansion.
[0043] Compared with the prior art, the above scheme adds a hydraulic impact component on the basis of the traditional expansion shaping, converting the axial hard push during shaping into radial vibration, so that the sleeve position is fatigued and damaged, reducing the difficulty of shaping; compared with the traditional expander, the expansion component adopts a multi-piece rotation expansion method, which occupies a small volume when contracted and can be extended to a larger size when expanded. The shaping range is larger than that of the traditional expander and can be applied to sleeves of different sizes; the expansion piece will generate a certain torque during the expansion and retraction process, and will generate radial force and tangential force during expansion. Compared with the traditional tool shaping force, it is greater and the dressing cycle is also lower. When contracting, it generates reverse torque, which can prevent the occurrence of drill jamming and has a certain ability to release the jam. When the expansion piece is expanded, the expansion piece is always kept completely covering the circumference of the sleeve change to prevent the expansion piece from breaking due to the unknown azimuth of the sleeve change. In terms of technology, an arc-shaped protrusion is arranged on the outside of the expansion piece. According to the principle that the smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure, the pressure at the contact part is increased, the fatigue damage of the sleeve change position is strengthened, and the shaping process is faster.
[0044] Working principle: When the entire tool pipe string is lowered to the sleeve change position, the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the shaper through the joint 101 and the liquid is input. When the liquid flows through the guide block 201, the aperture gradually decreases, thereby accelerating the flow rate. The high-pressure fluid flows out from the flow channel at the bottom of the plunger 203 at a high speed. The liquid will quickly fill the sealed space formed by the No. 1 chamber 208 and the No. 1 guide groove 206 and the cavity formed by the top of the shock block 202 and the guide block 201, thereby pushing the shock block 202 to move downward quickly and hit the impact head 301. When the plunger 203 plug is in contact with the No. 1 chamber 208, the No. 2 guide groove 207 will The pressure relief pipe 106 is connected to the No. 4 guide groove 108 on the shell 103, and the pressure relief pipe 106 is also inserted into the No. 2 chamber 209. The pressure accumulated on the top of the shock block 202 is discharged from this flow channel. At the same time, the liquid flowing out of the plunger 203 can only flow out through the channel formed by the No. 1 guide groove 206 of the No. 1 guide pipe 204 and the No. 3 guide groove 107, and is stored in the space between the shock block 202 and the impact head 301, and pushes the shock block 202 upward. When the pressure relief pipe 106 is detached from the No. 2 chamber 209, the liquid between the impact head 301 and the shock block 202 is discharged again, and this reciprocating cycle completes the shock part of the present invention. The conical surface of one side of the expansion piece 303 cooperates with the conical surface of the impact head 301, and the conical surface of the other side cooperates with the conical surface of the pressure relief pipe 106. When the vibration component shocks the impact head 301, the impact head 301 will impact the expansion piece 303, so that the expansion piece 303 moves along the reserved slide groove, thereby completing the axial expansion. When the impact head 301 retreats, the expansion piece is restored under the action of the reset rubber strip, completing an expansion shaping. The hydraulic impact component 2 and the expansion component 3 continuously cooperate to transform the direct radial expansion into multiple radial hammering, so that the sleeve position is fatigued and gradually expands outward, thereby completing the shaping process.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only the preferred principle of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the signed embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. At the same time, the number of components in this article is only for structural explanation.
