[0049] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, an integrated pipe string for upward forging and milling of casing comprises a tension compensator 1, a torque isolator 2, a No. I chip guide 3, a safety joint 4, a left-handed mud motor 5, a casing forging and milling device 6, a No. II chip guide 7 and a guide 8 which are sequentially connected from top to bottom;
[0051] The main function of the tension compensator 1 is to compensate for the loss of drilling pressure caused by the upward movement of the pipe string during forging and milling operations.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the tension compensator 1 comprises a spline shaft 11, a center tube 114 and a lower joint 118 connected in sequence;
[0053] The top end of the spline shaft 11 is connected to the drill rod 9, and the buckle type is left-handed, which is used to prevent the casing from being disengaged during forging and milling operations;
[0054] The spline shaft 11 is sleeved with a mudguard sleeve 15, a spline sleeve 17, an extension sleeve 111 and a disc spring 113 in sequence from top to bottom.
[0055] The central tube 114 is sleeved with a lower sleeve 115, and the central tube 114 and the drill pipe end surfaces of the lower sleeve 115 are flush;
[0056] A dust ring 12, a No. 1 BA ring 13 and a guide belt 14 are arranged in sequence between the inner wall of the end of the mud retaining sleeve 15 close to the drill pipe 9 and the outer wall of the spline shaft 11; the dust ring 12 is used to prevent external pollutants from entering the tension compensator 1; the BA ring 13 and the guide belt 14 play a sealing role;
[0057] The end of the spline sleeve 17 close to the drill pipe 9 is sleeved on the outside of the mud guard sleeve 15, and the two are connected by threads. A No. I compensator sealing ring 16 is arranged between the inner wall of the spline sleeve 17 and the outer wall of the mud guard sleeve 15, and the No. I compensator sealing ring 16 plays a sealing role; the outer wall of the spline sleeve 17 forms a No. I oil filling hole arranged radially, and a No. I oil plug 18 is arranged in the No. I oil filling hole. The No. I oil filling hole communicates with the gap between the inner wall of the spline sleeve 17 and the outer wall of the spline shaft 11, which is used to inject hydraulic oil into the tension compensator 1 to increase the wear resistance of internal components;
[0058] A semicircular retaining ring 112 is arranged between the extension sleeve 111 and the spline shaft 11. The semicircular retaining ring 112 is sleeved on the spline shaft 11. The semicircular retaining ring 112 mainly limits the spline sleeve 17. The extension sleeve 111 limits the semicircular retaining ring 112 inside the extension sleeve 111 to prevent it from falling.
[0059] The outer sleeve 110 is sleeved on the outside of the extension sleeve 111, one end of the outer sleeve 110 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the spline sleeve 17, and the other end is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lower sleeve 115; a No. II compensator sealing ring 19 is arranged between the outer sleeve 110 and the spline sleeve 17, and the No. II compensator sealing ring 19 plays a sealing role;
[0060] The central tube 114 is threadedly connected to the end of the spline shaft 11;
[0061] The disc spring 113 is placed between the end surface of the extension sleeve 111 and the end surface of the center tube 114;
[0062] The end of the lower sleeve 115 is sleeved on the outside of the lower joint 118, and the two are threadedly connected;
[0063] The outer wall of the lower sleeve 115 is formed with a radially arranged No. II oil filling hole, and a No. II oil plug 120 is arranged in the No. II oil filling hole;
[0064] A compensator piston 117 is disposed between the lower sleeve 115 and the center tube 114. The compensator piston 117 is sleeved outside the center tube 114. No. II BA rings 116 are disposed inside and outside the compensator piston 117.
[0065] A locking nut 119 is provided between the lower joint 118 and the center tube 114. The locking nut 119 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the center tube 114. The locking nut 119 serves to limit the compensator piston 117.
[0066] When the tension compensator 1 is working, the integrated milling pipe string is lifted up, the spline shaft 11 moves up with the pipe string, and the disc spring 113 is compressed to achieve the purpose of energy storage. During the forging and milling operation, the integrated milling pipe string moves up slowly, and the disc spring 113 is slowly released to compensate for the drilling pressure loss caused by the upward movement of the pipe string during the forging and milling operation.
[0067] The torque isolator 2 can isolate the reverse torque and return it to the wellhead, causing the drill pipe to buckle. At the same time, it can move up and down with the pipe string while isolating the reverse torque during the forging and milling operation. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the torque isolation device includes a body 21, an isolator pressing block 22, a wheel cavity 23, an isolator pin 24, a support wheel 25, a piston 26, an isolator spring 27 and a fixing pin 28; an open groove is formed on the body 21, and the isolator pressing block 22 and the support wheel mounting block 23 are placed in the open groove. A wheel cavity is formed in the support wheel mounting block 23, and the support wheel 25 is installed in the wheel cavity through the isolator pin 24. After the support wheel 25 is installed, part of the wheel body protrudes from the wheel cavity; the support wheel 25 can rotate on the isolator pin 24, so as to isolate the reverse torque without affecting the axial displacement of the inverted milling pipe column; lug structures are provided at both ends of the support wheel mounting block 23, and two circular hole grooves are provided on the surface of the lug, and the isolator spring 27 is placed therein. Similarly, the isolator pressing block 22 is also provided with a lug structure, and two circular hole grooves corresponding to the lugs on the support wheel mounting block 23 are provided on the lower surface of the lug. The isolator pressing block 22 is pressed on the isolator spring 27, thereby pressing the support wheel mounting block 23 into the open groove on the main body 21, and the isolator pressing block 22 is fixed to the main body 21 by the fixing pin 28. At this time, the isolator spring 27 is in a compressed state, and under the action of the elastic force, the support wheel mounting block 23 is tightly attached to the bottom of the opening groove of the body 21, ensuring that the support wheel 25 will not be propped up during the lowering of the pipe string;
[0068] The bottom of the opening groove of the body 21 is provided with a piston cavity, which is located directly below the support wheel mounting block 23 and is connected to the central cavity of the body 21. The piston 26 is installed in the piston cavity and contacts the bottom of the support wheel mounting block 23. Its main function is to push the piston 26 upward through the throttling pressure difference generated by the central cavity, thereby pushing the support wheel mounting block 23 upward, and finally making the support wheel 25 bite into the inner wall of the casing;
[0069] The wheel surface of the support wheel 25 is conical, and the top is subjected to heat treatment processes such as carburizing, quenching, and tempering to increase the hardness of its outer surface, so as to facilitate biting into the inner wall of the casing. The piston 26 is provided with two sealing grooves 261, and sealing rings are provided in the sealing grooves 261 to play a sealing role;
[0070] During the inverted milling operation, a throttling pressure difference is generated inside the drill string, pushing the piston 26 upward, and then pushing the support wheel mounting block 23 upward, and the support wheel mounting block 23 drives the support wheel 25 to bite into the casing. At this time, the isolator spring 27 is in a further compressed state. When the drill string is displaced axially, since the support wheel 25 and the isolator pin 24 are matched with the sleeve, the support wheel 25 can bite into the casing without affecting the axial displacement of the entire drill string. When the operation is completed, the throttling pressure difference disappears, and under the action of the isolator spring 27, the support wheel mounting block 23 is pressed into the open groove of the body 21, and the piston 26 is pressed back to the initial position, and the torque isolator returns to its initial state.
[0071] The torque isolator 2 in the present invention adopts an integral design, which ensures the structural stability of the tool and meets the tensile and torsional requirements on site; the torque isolator 2 part has been patented, and the patent number is 202410189781.7.
[0072] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown in , 8, the safety joint 4 plays a role in releasing the card; the safety joint 4 includes a safety upper joint 41 and a safety lower joint 43 connected to each other, a safety ball seat 42 is arranged inside the safety upper joint 41, and the safety ball seat 42 is connected to the safety upper joint 41 through a plurality of safety shear pins 44 evenly distributed along the circumference; a safety steel ball 45 is arranged on the upper joint side of the safety ball seat 42;
[0073] A plurality of spline grooves 49 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the connection end of the safety upper joint 41 and the safety lower joint 43, and a plurality of spline protrusions 48 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the connection end of the safety lower joint 43 and the safety upper joint. The spline protrusions 48 are inserted into the spline grooves 49, and the two cooperate to form a spline structure;
[0074] The connection ends of the safety upper joint 41 and the safety lower joint 43 form a plurality of elastic claws 46 evenly distributed along the circumference, and the outer walls of the elastic claws 46 form protrusions;
[0075] The inner wall of the safety lower joint 43 forms a safety slot 47, which cooperates with the protrusion on the outer wall of the elastic claw 46 to connect the safety upper joint 41 with the safety lower joint 43; at the same time, the purpose of torque transmission is achieved through the mutual cooperation of the spline structure;
[0076] The lower end of the safety ball seat 42 supports the elastic claw 46 of the safety upper joint 41 to prevent the safety upper joint 41 from being disengaged from the safety lower joint 43;
[0077] After the safety steel ball 45 is put in, it is pressed, the safety shear pin 44 is cut off, and the safety ball seat 42 moves down, losing the supporting effect on the elastic claw 46 on the safety upper joint 41. Under the action of the pulling force, the safety upper joint 41 is separated from the safety lower joint 43. Thus, the integrated pipe string can be pulled out of the wellhead.
[0078] When the integrated pipe string encounters resistance during the forging and milling of the casing and cannot be lifted up or lowered, a safety steel ball 45 is put in to pressurize the safety joint 4 so that the safety joint 4 can be disconnected and the integrated pipe string can be pulled out.
[0079] The left-handed mud motor 5 provides power to drive tools such as the casing forging and milling machine 6 and the chip guide 3 to operate; the left-handed mud motor 5 consists of a rotor and a stator, and its structure is a conventional motor structure. During the forging and milling operation, the motor needs to rotate in a left direction, so the rotor and stator are designed to rotate in the left direction.
[0080] The casing forging and milling machine 6 realizes the upward forging and milling operation of the casing, and has a total of six sets of milling cutters, with hard alloy teeth welded on the surface. Through reasonable layout, iron filings are prevented from becoming wires.
[0081] like Fig. 9 , 10 As shown, the casing forging and milling machine comprises a housing, a piston telescopic mechanism and a blade wing unfolding mechanism; the piston telescopic mechanism is arranged in the housing;
[0082] The housing comprises a threaded injection joint 61 and a milling tool body 65, and a plurality of upper nozzles 62 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the injection joint 61;
[0083] The injection joint 61 is in the shape of a hollow sleeve, with one end connected to the milling tool body 65 forming an external connection thread, and the other end forming an internal connection thread; a plurality of obliquely arranged through holes are evenly distributed on the wall of the injection joint 61, and the through holes are connected to the central cavity of the injection joint 61, and two to four through holes are arranged and obliquely downward, and the angle α between the axis of the through hole and the axis of the injection joint 61 is 30° to 60°; the nozzle 62 is arranged in the through hole on the wall of the injection joint 61 through a thread, and its function is to spray high-speed fluid downward to flush out the iron filings returning upward in the annulus;
[0084] The milling tool body 65 is in the shape of a hollow stepped sleeve, with multiple knife grooves 620 and multiple spiral grooves 619 evenly distributed radially in the middle of the cylinder wall, and the spiral groove 619 is located at the end of the knife groove 620 away from the injection joint 61; the knife groove 620 is a T-shaped groove, and six are provided; the groove cross-section of the spiral groove 619 is fan-shaped, and the spiral lines are all right-handed, and the spiral groove is used to guide the iron chips milled from the casing to the wellbore annulus at the bottom of the tool;
[0085] The piston extension mechanism is arranged in the milling tool body 65, which includes an upper piston spindle 66 and a lower piston spindle 68 which are threadedly connected, and a floating piston 67 sleeved on the outer side of the lower piston spindle 68, a forging milling spring 64 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper piston spindle 66, and a lower nozzle 617 is arranged at the bottom end of the lower piston spindle 68;
[0086] The upper piston core shaft 66 is in the shape of a hollow sleeve, and its upper end extends into the milling tool body 65; the outer wall of one end of the upper piston core shaft 66 connected to the lower piston core shaft 68 forms a convex ring, which is the lower end limit of the forging and milling machine spring 64; the inner wall of the lower end of the injection joint 61 forms an annular groove, the bottom of the groove is the upper end limit of the forging and milling machine spring 64, and a gasket 63 is arranged between the forging and milling machine spring 64 and the bottom of the groove of the injection joint 61;
[0087] The lower piston core shaft 68 is a hollow cylinder with an open upper end, and a through hole is formed in the middle of the bottom surface thereof, and the lower nozzle 617 is arranged in the through hole through a thread; a truncated cone-shaped convex ring is formed at the lower end of the lower piston core shaft 68, and when the lower piston core shaft 68 moves, the convex ring pushes the grinding and milling blade 610 to realize the expansion of the grinding and milling blade 610;
[0088] The upper piston core shaft 66 and the lower piston core shaft 68 are fixed by a No. Ⅰ pin 614;
[0089] The floating piston 67 is annular, and sealing grooves are provided on the inner and outer walls, and sealing rings are provided in the sealing grooves, that is, sealing rings are provided between the inner wall of the floating piston 67 and the outer wall of the lower piston core shaft 68, and between the outer wall of the floating piston 67 and the inner wall of the milling tool body 65; the upper end surface of the floating piston 67 and the lower end surface of the upper piston core shaft 66 form a lower annular cavity, and the lower annular cavity is connected with the central cavity of the lower piston core shaft 68 through a connecting hole 618 provided on the lower piston core shaft 68. When pressure is generated in the flow channel, the liquid pressure enters the lower annular cavity through the connecting hole, acts on the lower end surface of the upper piston core shaft 66, and interacts with the elastic force of the forging milling machine spring 64 acting on the upper end surface of the upper piston core shaft 66. Under the action of the two forces, the upper piston core shaft 66 and the lower piston core shaft 68 will appear in different position states;
[0090] The forging and milling machine spring 64 is a compression spring. When there is no flow or a small flow in the tool center channel, the pressure of the lower cavity formed by the upper piston core shaft 66 and the floating piston 67 is small. The upper piston core shaft 66 and the lower piston core shaft 68 are located at the lowest end of the stroke. The convex ring of the lower piston core shaft 68 presses against the tail end of the handle of the grinding and milling blade 610. At this time, the grinding and milling blade 610 is in a retracted state; when the flow through the tool center channel increases, the pressure of the lower annular cavity formed by the upper piston core shaft 66 and the floating piston 67 increases. When the liquid pressure in the cavity is greater than the spring force, the upper piston core shaft 66 and the lower piston core shaft 68 will move upward with the forging and milling machine spring 64, pushing the wedge-shaped edge on the back of the grinding and milling blade 610 until the grinding and milling blade 610 is fully unfolded;
[0091] The blade wing deployment mechanism includes a blade stop sleeve 69 sleeved on the outside of the milling tool body 65 and a milling blade 610 arranged in a knife groove 620 of the milling tool body 65, the tail of the milling blade 610 is hinged to the milling tool body 65 through a forging pin 611, and a blade fixing block 612 is arranged between the tail of the milling blade 610 and the milling tool body 65, a forging pressing block 613 is arranged below the blade fixing block 612, and the forging pressing block 613 is fixed in the T-shaped knife groove 620 arranged in the middle of the milling tool body 65 through a No. III pin 616;
[0092] The blade stop sleeve 69 is in the shape of a sleeve, and its inner wall forms a thread, which is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the grinding and milling tool body 65, and the two are fixed by a No. II pin 615; after the blade stop sleeve 69 is connected to the grinding and milling tool body 65, the blade stop sleeve 69 will cover a part of the T-shaped knife groove 620 provided on the grinding and milling tool body 65 and a part of the grinding and milling blade 610 installed in the T-shaped knife groove 620, that is, the stop block provided at the front end of the cutting head of the grinding and milling blade 610. When the grinding and milling blade 610 is expanded to a certain extent, the stop block provided at the front end of the cutting head of the grinding and milling blade 610 will be blocked by the blade stop sleeve 69 to prevent the grinding and milling blade 610 from being over-expanded, thereby ensuring that the sleeve inverted grinding and milling tool maintains the best working condition.
[0093] After the tool is lowered to the working position, the flow rate is gradually increased. At this time, the pressure in the lower cavity formed by the upper piston mandrel and the floating piston increases. Under the action of the liquid in the cavity, the upper and lower piston mandrels will shrink the spring and move upward, pushing the milling blade to unfold. When the milling blade is fully unfolded, the drill string begins to rotate to cut and mill the casing. Part 6 of the casing forging and milling device in this application has been patented, with patent number 2024103986251.
[0094] The chip guide No. Ⅰ 3 and chip guide No. Ⅱ 7 can guide the iron chips produced by forging and milling to the bottom of the well;
[0095] like Fig.11 As shown, the chip guide No. 1 3 and the chip guide No. 2 7 have the same structure, only the lead length is different, and the chip guide No. 1 3 and the chip guide No. 2 7 are both composed of a hollow cylinder and a plurality of guide belts evenly distributed along the cylinder, and the guide belts are spirally wound to form chip guide grooves between the connected guide belts, and the helix angle of the chip guide grooves is 23°.
[0096] In this embodiment, the guide belts of chip guide No. Ⅰ 3 and chip guide No. Ⅱ 7 both adopt six-wire right-hand rotation.
[0097] Example 2
[0098] A method for using an integrated pipe string for reverse forging and milling of casing comprises the following steps:
[0099] (I) Lower the pipe string to establish a circulation channel
[0100] Use the drill pipe to send the integrated pipe string to the predetermined forging and milling position, start the pump, circulate at a small displacement, and pass through the tension compensator 1, torque isolator 2, No. Ⅰ chip guide 3, safety joint 4, left-hand mud motor 5, casing forging and milling device 6, No. Ⅱ chip guide 7 and guide 8 in sequence, and return to the wellhead through the annulus;
[0101] (II) Open the milling cutter of the casing forging mill
[0102] After the circulation channel is established, gradually increase the displacement until the pump pressure reaches the preset value, maintain the displacement, lift the pipe column, observe the hanging weight, and confirm whether the milling cutter is open;
[0103] (III) Forging and milling operations
[0104] Keeping the displacement and hanging weight unchanged, under the action of throttling pressure difference, the torque isolator 2 automatically opens and anchors on the inner wall of the casing, isolating the reverse torque and returning it to the top drive, and the left-handed mud motor 5 drives the casing forging and milling device 6 to rotate, and the milling cutter forges and mills the casing;
[0105] (IV) Card release operation
[0106] If the integrated pipe string is stuck and cannot be lifted during the forging and milling operation, a steel ball is put into the wellhead and pumped into the safety joint 4 to pressurize the safety joint, and the safety joint is disconnected; the pipe string is lifted up, and the pipe string above the safety joint 4 can be lifted out of the wellhead.
