Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil field production, and particularly relates to a downhole blowout prevention tool that can be repeatedly sealed. Background Art
[0002] At present, conventional downhole blowout prevention operations in oil fields are mostly to throw plugs into the oil pipe to block the oil pipe, or use bridge plugs to block the casing, or use well-killing hydraulic wells to complete downhole blowout prevention operations. Throwing plugs into the oil pipe Due to the long-term production of oil and water wells, wax or scale is deposited on the inner wall of the oil pipe, causing the thrown plugs to sometimes fail to reach the predetermined position and the casing is not blocked at this time, posing the risk of wellhead loss of control. When using bridge plugs for plugging, they are lost after being set, and it is often necessary to use a separate fishing tool to retrieve the bridge plug. After the bridge plug is unsealed, it is time-consuming and laborious to bring the bridge plug out of the wellhead without repeating the work. Using well-killing sub-well operations requires a large amount of well-killing fluid, vehicles, and a long preparation time. The biggest problem is that it will bring different degrees of formation pollution, affecting the production of oil wells or the injection volume of water wells. Summary of the invention

[0014] The sealing mechanism structure in this embodiment includes: an upper working cylinder 2-1, a middle working cylinder 2-2, a claw 2-3, a spring C 2-4, a protective sleeve 2-5, a valve body cap 2-6, a valve stem A 2-7, a spring D 2-8, a valve plug 2-9, a valve body 2-10, a main body 2-11, a baffle 2-12, a hexagon socket head screw 2-13, a spring E 2-14, an anchor claw 2-15, a lower center tube 2-16, a sleeve 2-17, a vulcanized rubber cylinder 2-18, and a lower joint 2-19.
[0015] The upper working cylinder 2-1 is threadedly connected to the middle working cylinder 2-2, and the claw 2-3, spring C 2-4, and protective sleeve 2-5 are sequentially inserted into the middle working cylinder 2-2. The valve stem A 2-7 is inserted into the valve body 2-10, and its top is connected to the valve body cap 2-6 through a thread, and the tail is inserted into the spring D2-8. The valve plug 2-9 is threadedly connected to the valve body 2-10 to fix the valve stem A2-7 in the valve body 2-10. The main body 2-11 is connected to the valve body 2-10 through a thread, and the anchor claw 2-15 is placed in the corresponding hole on the main body 2-11.

[0017] Working principle and features of the downhole blowout prevention tool that can be repeatedly set in this embodiment: Sealing process: The casing annulus is pressurized, and the piston moves downward due to the tight fit between the leather cup 1-6 and the inner wall of the casing. The shear pin A1-5 then moves downward together with the leather cup seat 1-8. The first liquid inlet hole 3 on the leather cup 1-6 coincides with the second liquid inlet hole 4 on the upper center tube 1-7, and the pressure is transmitted downward. Through the third liquid inlet hole 5 on the conical cap 1-18, the valve stem A 2-7 is pushed downward to compress the spring D 2-8 and the valve stem cap 2-6. The pressure continues to be transmitted downward through the fourth liquid inlet hole 6 on the valve body 2-10. Under the action of pressure, the vulcanized rubber cylinder 2-18 expands and fits tightly with the inner wall of the casing to form a seal, and the anchor claw 2-15 also extends outward and is firmly stuck on the inner wall of the casing. Then the pressure is removed, and the valve stem A 2-7 is quickly reset under the energy storage of the spring D 2-8 to form a seal with the valve body 2-10, locking the pressure in the sealing mechanism.
[0018] Release process: The pressure cuts the shear pin B 1-15 upward through the third liquid inlet hole 5 on the conical cap 1-18, pushing the piston B1-15 upward. At this time, the lock block 1-13 loses its protection and is in a free rotation state, and the locking mechanism is opened. The pipe column is lifted up to cut the shear pin C1-16, and the claw A 1-12 moves downward. The claw A 1-12 is a petal structure that contracts inward and disengages from the clamping claw 2-3 to complete the release.
[0019] Unsealing process: The claw A 1-12, piston A 1-10, and piston B 1-15 of the lowered tubing fishing mechanism are inserted into the sealing mechanism, wherein the claw A 1-12 extends into the clamping claw 2-3, and the clamping claw 2-3 is connected and locked with the middle working cylinder 2-2 and the claw A 1-12 under the thrust of the spring C 2-4. The conical cap 1-18 is pressed down continuously to push the valve stem cap 2-6 downward, and the pressure locked in the sealing mechanism is released from the fourth liquid inlet hole 6 on the valve body 2-10. Then the anchor claw 2-15 is retracted into the main body 2-11 under the push of the spring E2-14, and the vulcanized rubber cylinder 2-18 is restored to its original state, and the entire tool is restored to the downhole state.
[0020] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
