Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield development, and more particularly to a split-type hydraulic full-hole centralizer and its method and a casing bending well shaping string. Background Art
[0002] As major domestic oilfields enter the middle and late stages of development, with the large-scale use of various oil production and oil increment technologies, such as heavy oil thermal recovery, water injection for energy supplementation, etc., the downhole casing conditions have become increasingly harsh, and the downhole situations of casing bending have gradually increased. However, the current effective technologies for treating casing bending wells are relatively scarce. For such situations, major oilfields mostly operate with problems. If it is really difficult to maintain, sidetracking wells are used to replace the bent well section. However, recently, due to the low international oil price, major oilfields have all compressed costs and reduced investments. Even though the cost of sidetracking wells is much lower than that of drilling new wells, it cannot be implemented on a large scale to meet the huge demand for casing bending wells. Many casing bending wells are directly scrapped because they cannot be economically and effectively treated. Therefore, once the casing bending problem occurs, no matter how it is handled, it will cause great economic losses to the oilfield.
[0003] The difficulty in treating casing bending wells lies in that if the bent casing is to be straightened after bending, the shaping string must overcome the stress of the bent casing itself, and at the same time, there must be a deformation space outside the casing for casing straightening. Currently, the stress of the bent casing itself can be overcome by stress release through punching or slitting. However, compared with the two, casing slitting is superior to casing punching both in terms of stress release of the casing itself and preparation of the deformation space outside the casing. In the future series of technologies for treating casing bending wells, the stress release technology will surely adopt the casing slitting method. However, in the current treatment process, due to the lack of near-point support and centralization, according to the lever principle, although this scheme can achieve a certain treatment effect, it causes greater damage to the hydraulic boosting mechanism. There is a risk of bending or even breaking of the hydraulic cylinder mandrel theoretically. If near-point support and centralization are added, the centralizing force of the existing elastic centralizer is very small, and the outer diameter of the rigid centralizer needs to leave a certain gap with the inner wall of the casing due to the need for string lowering, resulting in poor centralizing effect, and neither can meet the full-hole centralizing requirements in the casing after slitting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safer casing bending well shaping string and a supporting centralizer to solve the above problems.
[0004] Publication (Announcement) Number: CN116066000A discloses a casing sandblasting and slotting cavity-forming string and its shaping operation method. The string includes a hydraulic variable-diameter ball centralizer, a reverse circulation wash well valve, and a hydraulic sandblasting and slotting tool arranged from top to bottom in sequence; its casing deformation and shaping operation method is completed through eight steps: string assembly and lowering, wellhead device assembly and connection of the surface pumping system, casing sandblasting and slotting and cavity-forming operation outside the casing, lifting the string, casing shaping, well flushing verification, casing reinforcement and plug drilling, and well completion; when the string is used for casing reduction and shaping operation in oilfield workover, it can not only longitudinally cut slots in the deformed section of the casing, but also effectively clean the formation cuttings outside the casing, remove the external stress on the casing, provide a prerequisite for casing shaping, and effectively improve the shaping success rate; in addition, in terms of structural design, it is not only applicable to the operation requirements of casing sections with different inner diameters, but also can solve the possible problem of string blockage.
[0005] When the existing technology is used, there is a lack of near-point support and centralization, which causes greater damage to the hydraulic force-increasing mechanism, and there is a risk of bending or even breaking of the hydraulic cylinder core shaft.
[0006] Publication (Announcement) Number: CN108561081B discloses a turbine cam type downhole centralizer, which consists of a power assembly, a deviation rectification assembly, and a lower sub. The front end of the power assembly is connected to the deviation rectification assembly, and the front end of the deviation rectification assembly is connected to the lower sub. During drilling, when the well deviation occurs, the heavier side of the weighted casing automatically rotates to the low side of the wellbore under the action of gravity through bearing a and bearing c, driving the connecting rod seat to rotate, so that connecting rod a and connecting rod b are always located on the high side of the wellbore. The turbine rotor of the power assembly converts the liquid energy into rotational mechanical energy, driving the central tube to rotate. The roller seat rotates synchronously with the central tube, causing the cam to reciprocate up and down, thereby driving connecting rod a and connecting rod b to continuously push against the well wall, generating a periodic reaction force to correct the well deviation and realizing normal drilling.
[0007] Multiple pin connections are used in the pop-up centralization part of the existing technology, significantly increasing the probability of failures underground.
[0008] Publication (Announcement) Number: CN214787235U, which discloses a centralizer for oil exploitation, including a fastening device and a supporting device. The fastening device includes an upper threaded pipe, a lower threaded pipe and a connecting sleeve. The upper threaded pipe and the lower threaded pipe are respectively connected with an upper sucker rod and a lower sucker rod. A first annular convex ring is provided at the lower end of the upper threaded pipe, and a second annular convex ring is provided at the upper end of the lower threaded pipe. The connecting sleeve is formed by enclosing at least two arc-shaped plates. The inner wall of the upper part of the arc-shaped plate is provided with a first groove, and the inner wall of the lower part of the arc-shaped plate is provided with a second groove. The first annular convex ring and the second annular convex ring are respectively clamped in the first groove and the second groove. The supporting device includes a guide rail and a slide bar. Two first telescopic rods are fixedly arranged on the slide bar. A scraping plate is fixedly arranged at the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod. At least one second telescopic rod is also fixedly arranged on the slide bar. A roller is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod.
[0009] This prior art cannot actively control centralization and uses many mechanical sliding structures, significantly increasing the probability of failures underground.
