The large-size casing staged cementing technology conducts the cementing operation in two times. It can not only reduce the cementing construction pressure and the risk of fracturing the formation, but also reduce the influence of different temperatures above and below the wellbore on the performance of the cement slurry. However, the large-size casing staged cementing technology has the problems that the pipe wall diameter is large, the mixing of the drilling fluid and the cement slurry is serious when the drilling fluid displaces the cement slurry, and the displacement efficiency is low; after the first-stage cementing, it is necessary to wait for more than 24 hours for setting before the second-stage cementing operation, which affects the construction efficiency; for large-size casing cementing, a rubber plug is needed to isolate the drilling fluid and the cement slurry, and the later drilling and removing efficiency of the rubber plug level bumping seat is low, which affects the well construction cost.

Detailed implementation manners
[0022] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than an exhaustive list of all embodiments. And without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] In the context of accelerating the speed and efficiency in the field of oil and gas exploration and development, each oilfield company urgently needs to optimize the construction processes at all stages to improve the construction efficiency. The large-diameter casing staged cementing process conducts the cementing operation in two times. It can not only reduce the cementing construction pressure and the risk of fracturing the formation, but also reduce the influence of different temperatures up and down the wellbore on the performance of the cement slurry. However, the large-diameter casing staged cementing process has the following problems: the pipe wall diameter is large, the mixing is serious when the drilling fluid displaces the cement slurry, and the displacement efficiency is low; it is necessary to wait for coagulation for more than 24 hours after the first-stage cementing before the second-stage cementing operation can be carried out, which affects the construction efficiency; when cementing large-diameter casings, a rubber plug is required to isolate the drilling fluid and the cement slurry, and the later drilling removal efficiency of the rubber plug-level bump pressure seat is low, which affects the well construction cost.
[0024] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a large-size non-drilling packer-type staged cement injector, which uses the internal plugging method for cementing to reduce the problems such as poor isolation effect between the cement slurry and drilling fluid in large-size casing cementing and low efficiency of plug removal; through the packer staged cementing process, after the first-stage cementing, the packer is expanded and sealed, and there is no need to wait for 24 hours of setting time, and the second-stage cementing operation can be directly carried out.
[0025] In the embodiment as Figure 1 shown, the large-size non-drilling packer-type staged cement injector according to the present invention includes: A body 2, the body 2 is of a cylindrical structure, an upper joint 1 is provided at the upper end of the body 2, and a lower joint is provided at the lower end.
[0026] A rubber cylinder 3 provided on the body 2, the rubber cylinder 3 is provided on the outside of the body 2, and an expandable space is formed between the rubber cylinder 3 and the body 2, and both ends of the rubber cylinder 3 are hermetically connected to the body 2.
[0027] Circulation holes 22 and liquid injection holes 23 are provided on the body 2, and the liquid injection holes 23 communicate with the expandable space.
[0028] Preferably, a check valve is provided in the liquid injection hole 23 to ensure that the fluid can flow into the expandable space without backflow.
[0029] When the circulation holes 22 are opened, they are used to communicate with the external space of the body 2 for injecting cement into the annulus between the body 2 and the wellbore wall.
[0030] In the non-drilling packer-type staged cement injector of the size according to this embodiment, it can cooperate with the grouting drill tool to complete the expansion and setting, and inject the cement slurry through the circulation holes 22.
[0031] In one embodiment, the large-size non-drilling packer-type staged cement injector further includes a grouting drill tool for cooperative use, and a sealing joint 6 is provided at the lower end of the grouting drill tool.
[0032] In this embodiment, an overflow hole 62 is provided on the side of the sealing joint 6, and the position of the overflow hole 62 can be adjusted according to the depth of the grouting drill tool, so that the overflow hole 62 is aligned with the liquid injection hole 23, and the fluid can be injected into the liquid injection hole 23, so that the expandable space is filled with liquid, so that the rubber cylinder 3 expands to block between the body 2 and the wellbore wall, and the setting is completed.
[0033] By moving the position of the grouting drill tool, the overflow hole 62 is aligned with the circulation hole 22, and the cement slurry is injected through the grouting drill tool, and the second-stage cementing is completed through the circulation hole 22.
[0034] In one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, a ball seat is provided in the sealing joint 6. A pressure holding ball 64 is inserted, and the pressure holding ball 64 falls into the ball seat to block the outlet at the lower end, and the fluid is discharged through the flow hole 62, thereby being injected into the injection hole 23 to drive the rubber cylinder 3 to expand or injected into the circulation hole 22 for secondary cementing.
[0035] In using the process-sized drill-free isolation type staged cementing device according to the present embodiment, before cementing, the large-sized drill-free isolation type staged cementing device described in the present embodiment is connected to the casing and lowered to the designed depth. After the casing is in place, the grouting drill tool is lowered into the casing and lowered to the floating collar position of the casing to perform primary cementing.
[0036] During the first-level cementing, cement slurry is injected through the grouting drill bit, and the cement slurry enters the annulus between the casing and the well wall from the lower end of the casing. After the cement slurry is injected, the drilling fluid is used to replace the slurry. Since the inner diameter of the drill bit is small, the serious mixing of the replacement cement slurry and the drilling fluid in the large-sized casing is avoided. At the same time, the sealing joint 6 is used to achieve the sealing of the drill bit and the casing, without the need for additional sealing plugs and sealing sockets.
[0037] After the first stage of cementing, lift the drill string to the location of the large-size drill-free packer-type staged cementing device. Figure 2 As shown, the ball is thrown to hold the pressure and the packer is expanded and sealed (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure), secondary cementing construction can be carried out directly.
[0038] During secondary cementing, cement slurry is directly injected from the drill bit, and drilling fluid is used to replace the cement slurry after the cement slurry is injected. Due to the small inner diameter of the drill bit, the serious mixing of cement slurry and drilling fluid in large-sized casing is avoided.
[0039] After the secondary cementing, the drilling tool can be lifted up to achieve the full bore of the casing, avoiding the problems of difficulty in drilling out the large-sized casing rubber plug and plug seat.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, an upper seal 61 and a lower seal 63 are provided on the outer wall of the sealing joint 6 , and the upper seal 61 and the lower seal 63 are configured to seal the annular space between the sealing joint 6 and the inner wall of the body 2 .
[0041] Furthermore, the upper seal is disposed above the flow hole 62 , and the lower seal 63 is disposed below the flow hole 62 .
[0042] In this embodiment, the upper sealing member 61 is an upper rubber bowl, and the lower sealing member 63 is a lower rubber bowl.
[0043] When the overflow hole 62 is aligned with the liquid injection hole 23, the upper rubber bowl seals the annulus above the overflow hole 62 and the liquid injection hole 23, and the lower rubber bowl seals the annulus below the overflow hole 62 and the liquid injection hole 23, ensuring that the fluid inside the grouting drill can enter the liquid injection hole 23 through the overflow hole 62.
[0044] By the same principle, when the overflow hole 62 is aligned with the circulation hole 22, the upper rubber bowl seals the annulus above the overflow hole 62 and the circulation hole 22, and the lower rubber bowl seals the annulus below the overflow hole 62 and the circulation hole 22, ensuring that the cement slurry inside the grouting drill can enter the circulation hole 22 through the overflow hole 62, thereby performing the secondary cementing operation.
[0045] In one embodiment, the lower end of the rubber cylinder 3 is fixedly and sealingly connected to the body 2 through a lower rubber cylinder joint 34, and the upper end of the rubber cylinder 3 is slidably connected to the body 2 through an upper rubber cylinder joint 32, remaining in a sealed state during the sliding process.
[0046] Initially, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 is in a first position (as Figure 2 shown). When fluid is injected into the expandable space to expand the rubber cylinder 3, since the rubber cylinder 3 expands radially outward, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 will move downward axially, thus moving from the first position to the second position (as Figure 3 shown).
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 is an annular section sleeved on the body 2, which has a certain width to ensure that it can block the circulation hole 22 when in the first position. At this time, the circulation hole 22 is in a closed state. When the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 is in the second position, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 moves away from the circulation hole 22, opening the circulation hole 22.
[0048] In the large - size drill - free packer - type stage cementing device according to this embodiment, by the way of the sliding of the upper rubber cylinder joint 32, it is ensured that when the rubber cylinder 3 expands, it can expand radially to the maximum extent, so as to be able to squeeze against the wellbore wall to achieve sealing.
[0049] At the same time, the opening and closing of the circulation hole 22 can be realized by the movement of the upper rubber cylinder joint 32.
[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, a first anti - withdrawal snap ring 33 is provided on the upper rubber cylinder joint 32, and a first snap - ring groove is provided on the outer wall of the body 2. When the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 is in the second position, the first anti - withdrawal snap ring 33 is clamped in the first snap - ring groove.
[0051] In this embodiment, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 is initially connected to the body 2 through a first connecting member.
[0052] In one embodiment, the first connecting member is an expansion-sealing shear pin 31, and the upper joint 32 of the rubber barrel is connected to the body 2 through the expansion-sealing shear pin 31 to ensure that the rubber barrel 3 will not be prematurely expanded and sealed.
[0053] In another embodiment, the first connecting member may be another snap ring groove provided on the outer side of the body 2. Initially, the first anti-retreat snap ring 33 can be clamped in the first snap ring groove.
[0054] After the first-stage cementing, when the drill string is lifted to the position of the large-size drill-free packer-type stage cementing device, the flow-through hole 62 is aligned with the liquid injection hole 23, and a ball is dropped and pressure is applied. When the pressure reaches the set value, the expansion-sealing shear pin 31 is cut off under the action of the pressure, so that the rubber barrel 3 can expand smoothly. After the first anti-retreat snap ring 33 is clamped in the first snap ring groove, the expansion-sealing packer is completed. In this way, the second-stage cementing construction can be directly carried out.
[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, an annular groove 24 is provided at the upper part of the inner wall of the body 2, and the circulation hole 22 is provided at the lower part of the annular groove 24; A hole-closing sleeve 4 is arranged in the annular groove 24. When the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the initial position and above the circulation hole 22, it will not block the circulation hole 22 (as Figure 6 shown); when the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the hole-closing position, it blocks the circulation hole 22 (as Figure 7 shown).
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, when the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the initial position, there is a certain distance between the upper end of the hole-closing sleeve 4 and the upper end of the annular groove 24, forming a pressure groove. By applying pressure in the pressure groove, the hole-closing sleeve 4 can be moved downward.
[0057] When the moving position of the grouting drill string makes the flow-through hole 62 communicate with the pressure groove, the pressure in the grouting drill string is applied in the pressure groove, thereby driving the hole-closing sleeve 4 to move from the initial position to the hole-closing position.
[0058] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, a second anti-retreat snap ring 42 is provided on the hole-closing sleeve 4, and a second snap ring groove is provided in the annular groove 24. When the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the hole-closing position, the second anti-retreat snap ring 42 is clamped in the second snap ring groove.
[0059] In this embodiment, the hole-closing sleeve 4 is connected to the body 2 through a second connecting member when in the initial position.
[0060] In one embodiment, the second connecting member is a hole-closing shear pin 41. Initially, the hole-closing sleeve 4 is connected to the body 2 by the hole-closing shear pin 41. When the pressure in the pressure groove reaches the set value, the hole-closing shear pin 41 breaks, and at this time, the hole-closing sleeve 4 can be driven to move downward until the hole-closing sleeve 4 moves to the position where the second anti-backoff snap ring 42 is clamped in the second snap ring groove. At this time, the hole-closing sleeve 4 blocks the circulation hole 22, thus completing the hole closing.
[0061] In another embodiment, the second connecting member is to provide another snap ring groove on the body 2, and the hole-closing sleeve 4 can also be clamped in this snap ring groove at the initial position, so as to achieve the effect of preventing premature hole closing in the same way.
[0062] During the process of using the process dimension non-drilling packer type staged cement injector according to this embodiment, before cementing, connect the large-size non-drilling packer type staged cement injector described in this embodiment in the casing and lower it to the designed depth. After the casing reaches the position, lower the grouting drill string into the casing and lower the grouting drill string to the float collar position of the casing to carry out primary cementing. At this time, in the large-size non-drilling packer type staged cement injector, the rubber cylinder 3 is in an unexpanded state. At this time, the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder blocks the circulation hole 22, and the circulation hole 22 is in a closed state. The hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the initial position.
[0063] During primary cementing, cement slurry is injected through the grouting drill string. The cement slurry enters the annulus between the casing and the wellbore from the lower end of the casing. After injecting the cement slurry, drilling fluid is used for displacement. Due to the small inner diameter of the drill string, the serious mixing of the cement slurry and the drilling fluid during displacement in the large-size casing is avoided; at the same time, the use of the sealing joint 6 realizes the sealing between the drill string and the casing, and no additional sealing plugs and sealing sockets are required.
[0064] When the drill string is lifted to the position of the large-size non-drilling packer type staged cement injector after primary cementing to make the flow-through hole 62 opposite to the liquid injection hole 23, at this time, as Figure 2 shown; a ball is dropped to build pressure. When the pressure reaches the set value, the inflation seal shear pin 31 is cut off under the action of the pressure, so that the rubber cylinder 3 can expand smoothly. When the first anti-backoff snap ring 33 is clamped in the first snap ring groove, the inflation seal packer is completed (as Figure 3 shown). At this time, the circulation hole 22 is opened, and in this way, the secondary cementing construction can be directly carried out.
[0065] During secondary cementing, move the grouting drill string to make the flow-through hole 62 opposite to the circulation hole 22 (as Figure 5 shown), and inject cement slurry through the grouting drill string. After injecting and displacing the cement slurry, use drilling fluid for displacement. Due to the small inner diameter of the drill string, the serious mixing of the cement slurry and the drilling fluid during displacement in the large-size casing is avoided.
[0066] After that, move the grouting drill string to make the flow-through hole 62 opposite to the pressure groove (as Figure 6As shown in the figure, pressure is applied to the drill string, and the pressure is applied in the pressure groove to cut off the closing hole shear pin 41, driving the closing hole sleeve 4 to move to the closing hole position. The second anti-backoff snap ring 42 is clamped in the second snap ring groove to block the circulation hole 22, completing the closing of the hole (as Figure 7 shown).
[0067] After the secondary cementing, pulling up the drill string can achieve full bore in the casing (as Figure 9 shown), avoiding problems such as difficulties in drilling out large-size casing plugs and plug seats.
[0068] According to another aspect of the present invention, a casing string is also proposed. The casing string sequentially includes from bottom to top: float shoe, large-size casing, float collar, large-size casing string, large-size drill-free packer-type stage cementing device, large-size casing string.
[0069] The following is illustrated by specific embodiments.
[0070] Embodiment 1 The large-size drill-free packer-type stage cementing device includes: A body 2, the body 2 has a cylindrical structure, an upper joint is provided at the upper end of the body 2, and a lower joint is provided at the lower end.
[0071] A rubber cylinder 3 provided on the body 2, the rubber cylinder 3 is provided outside the body 2, and an expandable space is formed between the rubber cylinder 3 and the body 2, and both ends of the rubber cylinder 3 are sealingly connected to the body 2.
[0072] A circulation hole 22 and an injection hole 23 are provided on the body 2, and the injection hole 23 communicates with the expandable space.
[0073] When the circulation hole 22 is opened, it is used to communicate with the external space of the body 2 for injecting cement into the annulus between the body 2 and the wellbore.
[0074] In the large-size drill-free packer-type stage cementing device according to this embodiment, it can cooperate with the grouting drill string to complete expansion and setting, and inject cement slurry through the circulation hole 22.
[0075] The large-size drill-free packer-type stage cementing device further includes a grouting drill string for cooperative use, and a sealing joint 6 is provided at the lower end of the grouting drill string.
[0076] An overflow hole 62 is provided on the side of the sealing joint 6. According to the depth of the grouting drill string, the position of the overflow hole 62 can be adjusted so that the overflow hole 62 is aligned with the injection hole 23, enabling fluid to be injected into the injection hole 23, so that the expandable space is filled with liquid, causing the rubber cylinder 3 to expand and seal between the body 2 and the wellbore, completing the setting.
[0077] By moving the position of the grouting drill tool, align the flow-through hole 62 with the circulation hole 22, inject cement slurry through the grouting drill tool, and complete the secondary cementing through the circulation hole 22.
[0078] A ball seat is arranged inside the sealing joint 6. Insert the pressure-holding ball 64, and the pressure-holding ball 64 falls into the ball seat, blocking the outlet at the lower end. The fluid will be discharged through the flow-through hole 62, so as to inject into the injection hole 23 to drive the expansion of the rubber cylinder 3 or inject into the circulation hole 22 for secondary cementing.
[0079] An upper seal 61 and a lower seal 63 are arranged on the outer wall of the sealing joint 6. The upper seal 61 and the lower seal 63 are configured to be able to seal the annulus between the sealing joint 6 and the inner wall of the body 2.
[0080] Moreover, the upper seal is arranged above the flow-through hole 62, and the lower seal 63 is arranged below the flow-through hole 62.
[0081] The upper seal 61 is an upper rubber bowl, and the lower seal 63 is a lower rubber bowl.
[0082] When the flow-through hole 62 is opposite to the injection hole 23, the upper rubber bowl seals the annulus above the flow-through hole 62 and the injection hole 23, and the lower rubber bowl seals the annulus below the flow-through hole 62 and the injection hole 23, ensuring that the fluid in the grouting drill tool can enter the injection hole 23 through the flow-through hole 62.
[0083] By the same principle, when the flow-through hole 62 is opposite to the circulation hole 22, the upper rubber bowl seals the annulus above the flow-through hole 62 and the circulation hole 22, and the lower rubber bowl seals the annulus below the flow-through hole 62 and the circulation hole 22, ensuring that the cement slurry in the grouting drill tool can enter the circulation hole 22 through the flow-through hole 62, so as to carry out the secondary cementing operation.
[0084] The lower end of the rubber cylinder 3 is fixedly and sealingly connected to the body 2 through a lower rubber cylinder joint 34, and the upper end of the rubber cylinder 3 is slidably connected to the body 2 through an upper rubber cylinder joint 32 and remains in a sealed state during the sliding process.
[0085] Initially, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 is in the first position. When injecting fluid into the expandable space to expand the rubber cylinder 3, since the rubber cylinder 3 expands radially outwards, the upper rubber cylinder joint 32 will move downwards axially, thus moving from the first position to the second position.
[0086] The upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder is an annular section sleeved on the body 2, which has a certain width to ensure that it can block the circulation hole 22 when in the first position. At this time, the circulation hole 22 is in a closed state. When the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder is in the second position, the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder moves away from the circulation hole 22 to open the circulation hole 22.
[0087] A first anti-retreat snap ring 33 is arranged on the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder, and a first snap ring groove is arranged on the outer wall of the body 2. When the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder is in the second position, the first anti-retreat snap ring 33 is clamped in the first snap ring groove.
[0088] In this embodiment, the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder is initially connected to the body 2 through a first connecting piece. The first connecting piece is an expansion seal shear pin 31, and the upper joint 32 of the rubber cylinder is connected to the body 2 through the expansion seal shear pin 31 to ensure that the rubber cylinder 3 will not be prematurely expanded and sealed.
[0089] After the first-stage cementing, the drill string is lifted to the position of the large-size drill-free packer type stage cementing device, so that the flow-through hole 62 is opposite to the liquid injection hole 23, and a ball is dropped and pressured. When the pressure reaches the set value, the expansion seal shear pin 31 is cut off under the action of the pressure, so that the rubber cylinder 3 can expand smoothly. After the first anti-retreat snap ring 33 is clamped in the first snap ring groove, the expansion and sealing packer is completed. In this way, the second-stage cementing construction can be directly carried out.
[0090] An annular groove 24 is arranged at the upper part of the inner wall of the body 2, and the circulation hole 22 is arranged at the lower part of the annular groove 24; A hole-closing sleeve 4 is arranged in the annular groove 24. When the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the initial position and above the circulation hole 22, it will not block the circulation hole 22; when the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the hole-closing position, it blocks the circulation hole 22.
[0091] When the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the initial position, there is a certain distance between the upper end of the hole-closing sleeve 4 and the upper end of the annular groove 24, forming a pressure groove. By applying pressure in the pressure groove, the hole-closing sleeve 4 can be moved downward.
[0092] When the moving position of the grouting drill string makes the flow-through hole 62 communicate with the pressure groove, the pressure in the grouting drill string is applied in the pressure groove, so as to drive the hole-closing sleeve 4 to move from the initial position to the hole-closing position.
[0093] A second anti-retreat snap ring 42 is arranged on the hole-closing sleeve 4, and a second snap ring groove is arranged in the annular groove 24. When the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the hole-closing position, the second anti-retreat snap ring 42 is clamped in the second snap ring groove.
[0094] When the hole-closing sleeve 4 is in the initial position, it is connected to the body 2 through the second connecting member.
[0095] The second connecting member is a hole-closing shear pin 41. Initially, the hole-closing sleeve 4 is connected to the body 2 through the hole-closing shear pin 41. When the pressure in the pressure groove reaches the set value, the hole-closing shear pin 41 breaks. At this time, the hole-closing sleeve 4 can be driven to move downward until the hole-closing sleeve 4 moves to the position where the second anti-retreat snap ring 42 is clamped in the second snap ring groove. At this time, the hole-closing sleeve 4 blocks the circulation hole 22, thus completing the hole closing.

[0098] A circulation hole 22 and an injection hole 23 are provided on the body 2, and the injection hole 23 communicates with the expandable space.
[0099] When the circulation hole 22 is opened, it is used to communicate with the external space of the body 2 for injecting cement into the annulus between the body 2 and the wellbore wall.
[0100] This embodiment is similar to the embodiment, the difference is that in this embodiment, the first connecting member can be another snap ring groove provided on the outside of the body 2. Initially, the first anti-retreat snap ring 33 can be clamped in the first snap ring groove. The second connecting member is to provide another snap ring groove on the body 2, and the hole-closing sleeve 4 can also be clamped in this snap ring groove in the initial position to achieve the effect of preventing premature hole closing in the same way.
[0101] Embodiment 3 A large-size drill-free packer type staged cement injector, comprising: A body 2, the body 2 is of a cylindrical structure, an upper joint is provided at the upper end of the body 2, and a lower joint is provided at the lower end.

[0103] A circulation hole 22 and an injection hole 23 are provided on the body 2, and the injection hole 23 communicates with the expandable space.
[0104] When the circulation hole 22 is opened, it is used to communicate with the external space of the main body 2 and inject cement into the annulus between the main body 2 and the wellbore wall.
[0105] This embodiment is similar to the embodiment, the difference is that in this embodiment, a stepped structure is provided in the annular groove 24, and a stepped structure is also provided on the outer side of the hole-closing sleeve 4. When the hole-closing sleeve 4 moves from the initial position to the hole-closing position, the stepped structure of the annular groove 24 cooperates with the stepped structure of the hole-closing sleeve 4 to play a role in limiting.
[0106] An annular cavity is formed between the two stepped structures. A breathing hole 21 is provided on the main body 2. By providing the breathing hole 21, it is avoided that the compression of the small cavity when the hole-closing sleeve 4 descends affects the operation.
