Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cementing, and particularly to a retrievable ball seat assembly and components, a corrosion-resistant liner hanger, and a method for realizing liner setting. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of oil and gas exploration and development towards deeper and ultra-deeper depths, higher requirements are put forward for cementing technology. During the cementing process, liner hanging operations are often required. Currently, most of the liner hanger setting systems use a hydraulic setting method. A pressure-holding ball is dropped from the wellhead, and the hanger is set by the pressure-holding ball seating and pressure-holding with a drillable aluminum alloy ball seat installed at the bottom of the well. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The inventors of the present application found that in the currently commonly used hydraulic setting method, due to the long circulation time before the hanger is set and the corrosion of the aluminum alloy ball seat caused by the strong alkali and high salt environment in the wellbore, the problem that the hanger cannot be set frequently occurs. If other anti-corrosion alloy ball seats are used, after the hanger is set, the alloy ball seat cannot be drilled out, resulting in abnormal construction of subsequent operations. Moreover, the currently commonly used metal ball seats can only be set once. In the case of poor setting effect, the setting operation cannot be completed. In short, the hydraulic setting method in the prior art cannot meet the setting requirements of the continuously increasing well depth and continuously lengthening liner.

[0034] After inserting a No. 1 pressure - holding ball that fits with the fourth conical surface on the ball seat in the retrievable ball seat assembly to block the central flow channel, the liquid enters the annulus between the suspension assembly and the central pipe, and pushes the piston and slips in the suspension assembly to move axially to complete the hanging;

[0035] After the hanging is completed, the liquid pressure acts on the bursting valve of the gland assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, penetrates the bursting disc in the bursting valve, the gland assembly pushes the rack push sleeve in the rack - and - pinion assembly to move and drives the pinion to rotate, drives the ball seat to rotate through the pinion, and makes the No. 1 pressure - holding ball fall to the bottom of the well through the through - hole of the ball seat.

[0036] In some alternative embodiments, the above - mentioned method further includes:

[0037] In the case where the No. 1 pressure - holding ball and the fourth conical surface cannot form an effective sealed pressure - holding, after inserting a No. 2 pressure - holding ball that fits with the third conical surface on the ball seat in the retrievable ball seat assembly to block the central flow channel, the liquid enters the annulus between the suspension assembly and the central pipe, and pushes the piston and slips in the suspension assembly to move axially to complete the hanging;

[0038] After the hanging is completed, the liquid pressure acts on the bursting valve of the gland assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, penetrates the bursting disc in the bursting valve, the gland assembly pushes the rack push sleeve in the rack - and - pinion assembly to move and drives the pinion to rotate, drives the ball seat to rotate through the pinion, and makes the No. 2 pressure - holding ball fall to the bottom of the well through the through - hole of the ball seat.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the above - mentioned method further includes:

[0040] In the case where neither the No. 1 pressure - holding ball and the fourth conical surface nor the No. 2 pressure - holding ball and the third conical surface can form an effective sealed pressure - holding, insert a No. 3 pressure - holding ball that fits with the second conical surface on the gland assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, or insert a No. 4 pressure - holding ball that fits with the first conical surface on the gland assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly; after blocking the central flow channel through the No. 3 pressure - holding ball or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball, the liquid enters the annulus between the suspension assembly and the central pipe, and pushes the piston and slips in the suspension assembly to move axially to complete the hanging; after the hanging is completed, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball deforms under pressure and falls to the bottom of the well; the No. 3 pressure - holding ball and the No. 4 pressure - holding ball are made of elastic materials;

[0041] Or

[0042] When the No. 1 pressure-holding ball and the fourth conical surface, or the No. 2 pressure-holding ball and the third conical surface can form an effective sealed pressure hold, if the ball seat rotates in place incompletely, resulting in the No. 1 pressure-holding ball or the No. 2 pressure-holding ball not dropping, then insert the No. 3 pressure-holding ball that fits with the second conical surface on the pressure cap assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, or insert the No. 4 pressure-holding ball that fits with the first conical surface on the pressure cap assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly. After blocking the central flow channel with the No. 3 pressure-holding ball or the No. 4 pressure-holding ball, the liquid pressure acts on the bursting valve of the pressure cap assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, piercing the bursting disc in the bursting valve. The pressure cap assembly pushes the rack push sleeve in the gear-rack assembly to move and drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the ball seat to rotate, causing the No. 1 pressure-holding ball or the No. 2 pressure-holding ball to drop to the bottom of the well through the through hole of the ball seat.

[0043] The beneficial effects of the above technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention at least include:

[0044] In the retrievable ball seat assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, multiple conical surfaces are provided on the pressure cap assembly and the ball seat. Through the multiple conical surfaces, the placement of multiple different models of pressure-holding balls can be realized; two conical surfaces are provided on the ball seat assembly. In the case where one of the conical surfaces fails due to erosion sealing, the other conical surface can still be used for pressure-holding sealing; the pressure-holding ball that fits with the conical surface on the ball seat after placement can drop to the bottom of the well through the through hole of the ball seat after pressure holding and completing the setting; when the pressure-holding ball that fits with the ball seat fails or the ball seat rotates in place incompletely and cannot drop, the pressure-holding ball that fits with the conical surface on the pressure cap assembly can be inserted to seal and hold pressure again, enabling the pressure-holding ball to drop smoothly. Using this ball seat assembly for the suspension of the hanger shortens the circulation time before the hanger is set, and the hanger can be retrieved. Therefore, corrosion-resistant materials can be used to avoid corrosion, without worrying about the problem that the pressure-holding balls made of corrosion-resistant materials such as metal cannot drop, nor worrying about the problem that the ball seats made of corrosion-resistant materials such as metal cannot be drilled, ensuring the smooth progress of the construction and meeting the setting requirements of the continuously increasing well depth and the continuously lengthening liner.

After the setting is completed, the ball seat assembly can be retrieved through the central pipe, without worrying about the problem that the ball seats made of corrosion-resistant materials such as metal cannot be drilled, ensuring the smooth progress of the construction and meeting the different requirements of drilling at different times.

The intersection line of the plane where the side surface of the first anti-rotation boss 6-5-4 and the side surface of the second anti-rotation boss 6-5-5 are located coincides with the axis of the annular piston sleeve. The first anti-rotation boss 6-5-4 and the second anti-rotation boss 6-5-5 can move axially in the rack push sleeve anti-rotation groove on the body 6-1 but cannot rotate around the axis of the body 6-1.

[0100] There are two sets of gear assemblies 6-7, including gears 6-7-1, anti-rotation shafts 6-7-2, and gear connection threads 6-7-3, which are symmetrically fixed on the ball seat 6-6 by means of threaded connection. The anti-rotation shaft 6-7-2 of the gear assembly 6-7 can axially move in the anti-rotation groove of the gear assembly on the main body 6-1, and the gear assembly 6-7 can rotate around the anti-rotation shaft 6-7-2, but cannot rotate around the axis of the main body 6-1.

[0102] In some alternative embodiments, the above-mentioned ball seat assembly can be proposed. One end of the main body of the ball seat assembly is provided with a central tube connection thread as the central tube connection portion to connect the central tube; the other end of the main body of the ball seat assembly is provided with a pin hole as the tail tube rubber plug connection mechanism, so as to connect the tail tube rubber plug through the rubber plug shear pin 7-1. See Figure 2 As shown, the ball seat assembly 6 is connected to the bottom end of the central tube 5 by means of threaded connection, and the tail tube rubber plug 7 is fixed to the lower end of the ball seat 6-6 through the rubber plug shear pin 7-1 and sealed by a sealing ring.

[0103] The above-mentioned ball seat assembly can be proposed, and the metal part material thereof can be processed by using 13Cr or other anti-corrosion materials, and the rubber part material is fluororubber. The main body 6-1 is connected to the central tube 5 by means of threaded connection, and its lower end is inserted together with the tail tube rubber plug 7 and fixed through the rubber plug shear pin 7-1, and is sealed by the rubber plug sealing ring 7-2 at the same time. The inside of the main body 6-1 is designed with an upper pressing cap sealing groove and an upper pressing cap connection thread, a rack push sleeve 6-5 sealing surface, a rack push sleeve anti-rotation groove, a gear assembly anti-rotation groove, a lower pressing cap sealing groove and a lower pressing cap connection thread from top to bottom in sequence.

[0104] For the cross-sectional structure of the anti-rotation groove on the main body, see Figure 9 As shown, there are two sets of rack push sleeve anti-rotation grooves and gear assembly anti-rotation grooves, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central plane. See Figure 9 As shown, the first gear assembly anti-rotation groove C1 and the second gear assembly anti-rotation groove C3 are symmetrically arranged, and the center line thereof passes through the central axis of the main body; the first rack push sleeve anti-rotation groove C2 and the second rack push sleeve anti-rotation groove C4 are located on one side of the connection line of C1 and C3 and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis perpendicular to the connection line of C1 and C3.

[0105] The bottom of the anti-rotation groove C2 of the first rack push sleeve, the anti-rotation groove C4 of the second rack push sleeve, the anti-rotation groove C1 of the first gear assembly, and the anti-rotation groove C3 of the second gear assembly are arc-shaped and concentric with the body 6-1. The intersection line of the planes where the two side surfaces of the anti-rotation groove C2 of the first rack push sleeve and the anti-rotation groove C4 of the second rack push sleeve are located coincides with the central axis of the body 6-1. The central planes of the anti-rotation groove C2 of the first rack push sleeve and the anti-rotation groove C4 of the second rack push sleeve are misaligned with the central planes of the anti-rotation groove C1 of the first gear assembly and the anti-rotation groove C3 of the second gear assembly by an angle α. The two sides of the anti-rotation groove C1 of the first gear assembly and the anti-rotation groove C3 of the second gear assembly are symmetric straight surfaces.

[0106] In some alternative embodiments, the tail pipe rubber plug of the above-mentioned ball seat assembly includes a rubber plug matrix 7-3, a metal elastic support skeleton 7-5, and a rubber disc 7-4;

[0107] The rubber disc is elastic and includes a cylindrical rubber disc matrix and at least one elastic conical cylinder extending from the rubber disc matrix; the rubber disc is fixed to the rubber plug matrix by a vulcanization process, and the outer diameter of the rubber disc is greater than the inner diameter of the tail pipe;

[0108] The metal elastic support skeleton is embedded in the rubber disc, and the metal elastic support skeleton includes a plurality of sub-skeletons, and each sub-skeleton includes a thin-walled cylinder and a thin-walled conical cylinder connected together.

[0109] For the structure of the metal elastic support skeleton, see Figure 10 As shown, the tail pipe rubber plug 7 and the lower end of the ball seat assembly 6 are coaxially fixed by a rubber plug shear pin and sealed by a rubber plug sealing ring 7-2. The rubber disc 7-4 of the tail pipe rubber plug is integrally vulcanized on the rubber plug matrix 7-3 by a vulcanization process, and the metal elastic support skeleton 7-5 is embedded in the rubber disc 7-4. The metal elastic support skeleton 7-5 is composed of multiple groups of thin-walled conical cylinders and thin-walled cylinders welded together, and each conical cylinder and cylinder are designed with a plurality of uniformly distributed round holes. The outer end of each conical cylinder is bent. The outer diameter of the rubber disc 7-4 is greater than the inner diameter of the tail pipe 8, and the rubber disc 7-4 fits against the inner wall of the tail pipe 8 to seal the annular channel between the tail pipe 8 and the tail pipe rubber plug 7. Through the elastic extrusion of the rubber and the elastic force of the metal elastic support skeleton 7-5, the sealing pressure can be increased, and the bending part of the elastic skeleton 7-5 can enhance the rubber scraping effect on the wall.

[0110] The anti-corrosion tail pipe hanger proposed above in the embodiments of the present invention includes a running-in sub 1, a tie-back cylinder 2, a releasing sub 3, a suspension assembly 4, a central pipe 5, a ball seat assembly 6, a tail pipe rubber plug 7, and a tail pipe 8. The upper end of the running-in sub 1 can be connected to the running-in drill string, and the lower end is connected to the central pipe 5. The tie-back cylinder 2 is a sealing cylinder for the tie-back plug of the tail pipe hanger, the releasing sub is a mechanical reverse-thread releasing sub, and the suspension assembly is a hydraulically actuated slip-type hanger; the central pipe 5 is provided with a reverse-thread releasing mechanism and a sealing sleeve that cooperate with the releasing sub 3.

[0111] The above anti-corrosion liner hanger can be divided into a running-in system and a hanging system. Among them, the running-in system includes a running-in sub 1, a central tube 5, and a ball seat assembly 6, which are connected together by threads. The hanging system includes a tie-back cylinder 2, a releasing sub 3, a hanging assembly 4, and a liner 8. The tie-back cylinder 2, the releasing sub 3, the hanging assembly 4, and the liner 8 are connected together by threads. For the local structure of the hanging system, refer to Figure 11 As shown, an annulus is formed between the central tube 5 and the hanging assembly 4, and an annulus is also formed between the piston 4-1 and the releasing sub 3. There is a through hole connecting the two annuli, so that the liquid pressure can act on the piston 4-1 to push the piston 4-1 to move axially and cooperate with the slips 4-2 to complete setting and make the anti-corrosion liner hanger complete hanging.

[0112] The running-in system and the hanging system are connected by a reverse-thread releasing mechanism, and the annular space between the running-in system and the hanging system is sealed off by a sealing sleeve. After the anti-corrosion liner hanger is lowered in place, circulation is carried out through the running-in sub 1, the central tube 5, the ball seat conical hole, and the inner hole of the liner plug 7. A plurality of evenly distributed pressure-transferring inclined holes 5-1 are designed at the bottom end connecting sleeve of the central tube 5 to connect the inner cavities of the central tube 5 and the hanging assembly 4.

[0113] The retrievable ball seat anti-corrosion liner hanger provided by the embodiment of the present invention improves the erosion resistance and backpressure resistance of the float shoe (a device for guiding the casing string into the well smoothly). In order to achieve the anti-corrosion function, the whole set of tools is processed with non-metallic sealing materials and alloy materials with alkali-proof and high-salt corrosion resistance, or the surface treatment technology of chemical but not limited to chemical methods is adopted to achieve the anti-alkali and high-salt corrosion of the tools.

[0114] For the above anti-corrosion liner hanger, its setting ball seat is connected to the bottom end of the central tube of the hanger, which can shorten the waiting time for ball dropping; the ball seat is made of erosion-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials, which can improve the anti-corrosion and erosion resistance performance. The setting ball seat has a plurality of sealing conical surfaces, which can realize multiple ball dropping and setting to ensure the smooth hanging of the hanger. After the hanger is hung, the gear mechanism is rotated by the hydraulic system to force the ball seat core to rotate, and the setting channel is converted to a large-diameter circulation channel. After the construction is completed, the ball seat can be retrieved from the wellbore along with the central tube without drilling. At the same time, an elastic skeleton is used to strengthen the strength and scraping effect of the plug, improving the sealing reliability and displacement efficiency. Using the retrievable ball seat anti-corrosion liner hanger for the hanging operation of the liner hanger can greatly improve the hanging success rate of the liner hanger.

[0115] The above retrievable ball seat assembly, ball seat component, and anti-corrosion liner hanger can enable the function of multiple ball dropping, setting, and pressure building. Specifically, multi-stage setting means that the ball seat assembly 6 has the function of multiple ball dropping, setting, and pressure building.

[0116] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for realizing liner hanging, including:

[0117] After inserting the No. 1 pressure-holding ball that fits the fourth conical surface on the ball seat in the input and retrievable ball seat assembly to block the central flow channel, the liquid enters the annulus between the hanging assembly and the central pipe, and pushes the piston and slips in the hanging assembly to move axially to complete the setting;

[0118] After the setting is completed, the liquid pressure acts on the bursting valve of the pressure cap assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, piercing the bursting disc in the bursting valve. The pressure cap assembly pushes the rack push sleeve in the rack and pinion assembly to move and drives the gear to rotate. The ball seat is driven by the gear to rotate, so that the No. 1 pressure-holding ball drops to the bottom of the well through the through hole of the ball seat.

[0119] In the above method, when setting is required, the No. 1 pressure-holding ball is inserted from the wellhead and lands on the fourth conical surface Z4 of the ball seat to block the circulation channel. Continue to hold pressure. The liquid enters the annulus between the hanging assembly 4 and the central pipe 5 through the pressure transmission inclined hole 5-1 of the central pipe, and enters the inner cavity of the piston 4-1, further pushing the piston 4-1 and slips 4-2 of the setting assembly to move axially to complete the setting. Further continue to hold pressure. The piston 4-1 reaches the limit position and stops moving. The pressure acts on the bursting valve 6-3, piercing the bursting disc 6-3-2. The pressure is transmitted to the end face of the rack push sleeve 6-5, shearing the pressure cap shear pin 6-2-4 and pushing the rack ear plate 6-5-3 to move downward axially, and driving the gear to rotate through the meshing teeth 6-5-6 of the rack and the gear 6-7-1, driving the ball seat 6-6 to rotate around the central axis. The stroke of the rack push sleeve 6-5 can drive the gear 6-7-1 and the ball seat 6-6 to rotate 90°, and turn to the through hole circulation channel with the same diameter as the small end of the second conical surface Z2 of the upper pressure cap. The No. 1 ball falls to the bottom of the well through the channel. The rack push sleeve 6-5 is separated from the second sealing ring 6-2-2, losing the seal, and the pressure difference between its upper and lower parts is the same, and it stops moving.

[0120] In some alternative embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0121] In the case where the No. 1 pressure-holding ball and the fourth conical surface cannot form an effective seal to hold pressure, after inserting the No. 2 pressure-holding ball that fits the third conical surface on the ball seat in the retrievable ball seat assembly to block the central flow channel, the liquid enters the annulus between the hanging assembly and the central pipe, and pushes the piston and slips in the hanging assembly to move axially to complete the setting;

[0122] After the setting is completed, the liquid pressure acts on the bursting valve of the pressure cap assembly in the retrievable ball seat assembly, piercing the bursting disc in the bursting valve. The pressure cap assembly pushes the rack push sleeve in the rack and pinion assembly to move and drives the gear to rotate. The ball seat is driven by the gear to rotate, so that the No. 2 pressure-holding ball drops to the bottom of the well through the through hole of the ball seat.

[0123] Since there is more than one conical surface provided on the ball seat of the ball seat assembly, when a problem occurs with one of the conical surfaces, for example, when it cannot form an effective seal with the corresponding pressure - holding ball to achieve sealed pressure - holding, another conical surface can be used in cooperation with the corresponding pressure - holding ball to achieve sealed pressure - holding. For example: when the No. 1 pressure - holding ball seats, if the fourth conical surface Z4 of the ball seat is eroded and cannot hold pressure, then the No. 2 pressure - holding ball that cooperates with the third conical surface Z3 of the ball seat is put in, and the processes such as setting - up, ball - seat flipping, and the falling off of the setting ball are completed in a similar process after the No. 1 pressure - holding ball is put in. Or when it is known that the fourth conical surface Z4 of the ball seat is eroded and cannot hold pressure, the No. 1 pressure - holding ball is not put in and the No. 2 pressure - holding ball is directly put in to cooperate with the third conical surface Z3 of the ball seat, and the processes such as setting - up, ball - seat flipping, and the falling off of the setting ball are completed in a similar process after the No. 1 pressure - holding ball is put in.

[0124] The No. 1 pressure - holding ball and the No. 2 pressure - holding ball can be rigid balls, such as metal balls, specifically copper balls.

[0125] In some alternative embodiments, the above - mentioned method further includes:

[0126] In the case where neither the No. 1 pressure - holding ball and the fourth conical surface nor the No. 2 pressure - holding ball and the third conical surface can form an effective sealed pressure - holding, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball that cooperates with the second conical surface on the pressure - cap assembly in the retrievable ball - seat assembly is put in, or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball that cooperates with the first conical surface on the pressure - cap assembly in the retrievable ball - seat assembly is put in; after the central flow channel is blocked by the No. 3 pressure - holding ball or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball, the liquid enters through and makes the piston and slips in the suspension assembly move axially to complete the setting - up; after the setting - up is completed, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball deforms under the action of pressure and drops to the bottom of the well; the No. 3 pressure - holding ball and the No. 4 pressure - holding ball are made of elastic materials;

[0127] In some alternative embodiments, the above - mentioned method further includes:

[0128] In the case where the No. 1 pressure - holding ball and the fourth conical surface, or the No. 2 pressure - holding ball and the third conical surface can form an effective sealed pressure - holding, if the ball seat does not rotate in place and causes the No. 1 pressure - holding ball or the No. 2 pressure - holding ball not to drop, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball that cooperates with the second conical surface on the pressure - cap assembly in the retrievable ball - seat assembly is put in, or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball that cooperates with the first conical surface on the pressure - cap assembly in the retrievable ball - seat assembly is put in. After the central flow channel is blocked by the No. 3 pressure - holding ball or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball, the liquid pressure acts on the rupture valve of the pressure - cap assembly in the retrievable ball - seat assembly, piercing the rupture disk in the rupture valve, and the pressure - cap assembly pushes the rack - push sleeve in the gear - rack assembly to move and drives the gear to rotate. The ball seat is driven to rotate by the gear, so that the No. 1 pressure - holding ball or the No. 2 pressure - holding ball drops through the through - hole of the ball seat to the bottom of the well.

[0129] If the No. 1 pressure - holding ball and the No. 2 pressure - holding ball fail and cannot form an effective seal, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball that mates with the second conical surface Z2 of the upper pressure cap 6 - 2 is inserted to complete the setting process, or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball that mates with the first conical surface Z1 of the upper pressure cap 6 - 2 is inserted to complete the setting process and cause the ball seat to flip. The No. 3 pressure - holding ball and the No. 4 pressure - holding ball can be made of elastic spheres, such as plastic material balls, specifically, they can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene, but not limited to this. In this way, under continuous pressure - holding, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball undergoes plastic deformation, detaches from the ball seat 6 - 6, and falls into the bottom of the well.

[0130] If the ball seat cannot flip into place after the No. 1 pressure - holding ball or the No. 2 pressure - holding ball is inserted, resulting in the pressure - holding ball being unable to drop, the No. 3 pressure - holding ball that mates with the second conical surface Z2 of the upper pressure cap 6 - 2 or the No. 4 pressure - holding ball that mates with the first conical surface Z1 of the upper pressure cap 6 - 2 can also be inserted to cause the ball seat to flip. For example: when the No. 1 pressure - holding ball or the No. 2 pressure - holding ball that mates with the ball seat 6 - 6 is pressure - held and set, during the continuous pressure - holding process, due to seal failure, the ball seat 6 - 6 cannot be completely flipped by 90°, resulting in the No. 1 pressure - holding ball or the No. 2 pressure - holding ball being unable to drop, then the No. 3 ball can be inserted to complete the flipping of the ball seat. Whether the ball seat 6 - 6 is completely flipped can be judged according to the wellhead circulation pump pressure. The No. 3 pressure - holding ball is used when both the No. 1 and No. 2 balls cannot achieve pressure - holding or setting, and the pressure - holding after setting cannot cause the ball seat to be completely flipped. Generally, it is not directly used.

[0131] During cementing, after the tail - pipe plug 7 checks and shears the plug shear pin 7 - 1 of the drill - pipe plug, and the tail - pipe plug 7 runs to the bottom of the well to complete the bump pressure, the ball - seat assembly 6 can be lifted out of the wellbore together with the running - in sub 1 and the central tube 5.

[0132] In the above - mentioned method of the embodiment of the present invention, through multiple conical holes provided in the ball - seat assembly, the placement of pressure - holding balls of various different models can be realized, and through the flipping of the ball seat, the pressure - holding ball that mates with the ball seat can fall through the straight through - hole on the ball seat, so that multiple ball - throwing and multiple setting can be realized, ensuring the smooth setting of the corrosion - resistant liner hanger.

The method according to claim 15, characterized in that, Further comprising: In the case where neither the No. 1 pressure-holding ball and the fourth conical surface nor the No. 2 pressure-holding ball and the third conical surface can form an effective sealed pressure hold, insert the No. 3 pressure-holding ball that mates with the second conical surface on the pressure cap assembly of the retrievable ball seat assembly, or insert the No. 4 pressure-holding ball that mates with the first conical surface on the pressure cap assembly of the retrievable ball seat assembly; after blocking the central flow channel with the No. 3 pressure-holding ball or the No. 4 pressure-holding ball, allow the liquid to enter the annulus between the suspension assembly and the central pipe, and push the piston and slips in the suspension assembly to axially move to complete setting; after setting is completed, the No. 3 pressure-holding ball or the No. 4 pressure-holding ball deforms under pressure and drops to the bottom of the well; the No. 3 pressure-holding ball and the No. 4 pressure-holding ball are made of elastic materials; or In the case where the No. 1 pressure-holding ball and the fourth conical surface or the No. 2 pressure-holding ball and the third conical surface can form an effective sealed pressure hold, if the ball seat does not rotate into place and causes the No. 1 pressure-holding ball or the No. 2 pressure-holding ball not to drop, insert the No. 3 pressure-holding ball that mates with the second conical surface on the pressure cap assembly of the retrievable ball seat assembly, or insert the No. 4 pressure-holding ball that mates with the first conical surface on the pressure cap assembly of the retrievable ball seat assembly. After blocking the central flow channel with the No. 3 pressure-holding ball or the No. 4 pressure-holding ball, the liquid pressure acts on the burst valve of the pressure cap assembly of the retrievable ball seat assembly, piercing the burst disk in the burst valve. The pressure cap assembly pushes the rack push sleeve in the rack and pinion assembly to move and drives the pinion to rotate. The pinion drives the ball seat to rotate, causing the No. 1 pressure-holding ball or the No. 2 pressure-holding ball to drop through the through hole of the ball seat to the bottom of the well.
