Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of enhanced coal mine gas extraction and strata pressure control, relates to hydraulic fracturing technology, and specifically relates to a packer with constant pressure closing and repeated setting Background Art

[0002] In underground coal mine mining, fracturing technology is commonly used to control strong strata pressure disasters. When using the hydraulic fracturing construction technology, the setting effect of the hole-internal sealing device is one of the important factors affecting the quality of hydraulic fracture formation. The setting effect of the sealing device is greatly affected by the operating environment. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a suitable sealing device for different operating environments or rock stratum properties. For example, Chinese Patent with application number CN113356787A discloses a retrievable downhole packer resistant to high temperature and high pressure. This device uses two sets of clamping connections to improve structural stability and has stronger high-pressure resistance. By setting high-temperature-resistant rubber cylinders, its high-temperature resistance characteristics are improved, overcoming the problems of complex packer structure, difficult setting and unsealing, long cycle, and high operating cost existing in the prior art. Another Chinese Patent with application number CN202321264304.X discloses an expandable wear-resistant packer for downhole long borehole hydraulic fracturing, which includes a rubber cylinder arranged outside the central pipe, and capsule shoulders respectively arranged at both ends of the rubber cylinder. The capsule shoulder includes a fixing part and a rubber protection part. One side of the fixing part is connected to the central pipe, a fixing hole is arranged in the fixing part, one side of the rubber protection part extends into the fixing hole and is connected to the fixing part, and the other side of the rubber protection part extends out of the fixing part, and the inner wall of the rubber protection part contacts the outer wall of the rubber cylinder. This effectively avoids the direct contact between the rubber cylinder and the sealing connection, solving the problems of easy wear, low pressure resistance, and non-reusability of the rubber cylinder.

[0003] Most coal seams in China are soft and fragmented, with low gas permeability and difficult hole formation in coal seam drilling. There are also soft and fragmented rock strata in the roof fracturing layer, resulting in difficult setting of the packer, easy over-expansion and damage of the packer, or excessive setting pressure before fracturing, leading to premature cracks in non-fracturing positions, poor setting effect, and difficulty in forming effective cracks in the set fracture initiation area. The packers in the prior art mainly focus on the upgrade of appearance and materials, and rarely start from the optimization of internal structure, making it difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of difficult setting of the packer in complex environments, with low versatility. Moreover, there is even less prior art for relevant soft and fragmented rock strata. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out research on realizing efficient setting of the packer in soft and fragmented coal and rock strata through internal structure optimization.

[0124] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the central tube 1 is communicated with the liquid inlet 6. The liquid inlet 6 can be communicated with the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7.

[0125] In this embodiment, the elastic force and the cavity pressure are the instantaneous forces at the corresponding time nodes and change continuously with pressurization or depressurization.

[0126] In this embodiment, the setting and control of the setting pressure of the packer are realized by the constant pressure spring 3. According to different models, that is, by selecting constant pressure springs 3 with different stiffness coefficients k, different pressure thresholds when blocking the liquid delivery port 8 are controlled under the same compression amount to adapt to the soft rock geological conditions of various occurrence environments, which specifically include the following steps:

[0127] In the initial state, both the liquid inlet 6 and the liquid delivery port 8 are located within the piston intermediate cavity section 402 of the closing piston 4. At this time, normal liquid supply and pressure boosting can be achieved. The high-pressure liquid flows from the central tube 1 successively along the liquid inlet 6, the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7, the liquid delivery port 8, the first annular liquid flow channel 9, the second high-pressure liquid flow cavity 12, the second annular liquid flow channel 14, the third annular liquid flow channel 16 into the fourth annular liquid flow channel 18. The rubber cylinder 17 is gradually pressurized and expanded to achieve normal setting. When the packer is normally set, with the injection of high-pressure liquid, the pressure value in the piston intermediate cavity section 402 of the closing piston 4, that is, the pressure value in the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7, gradually increases. Until the pressure value in the piston intermediate cavity section 402 of the closing piston 4 is greater than the elastic force of the constant-pressure spring 3, the closing piston 4 pushes the constant-pressure spring 3 to be slowly compressed, that is, the closing piston 4 and the constant-pressure spring 3 as a whole move in the direction of the upper joint 2.

[0128] At this time, the first sealing ring 26 seals the connection position between the central tube 1 and the piston upper sealing section in the closing piston 4, and the fourth sealing ring 29 seals the connection position between the lower connection section 505 of the bridge connection head 5 and the upper rubber cylinder assembly tube 11, preventing the high-pressure liquid in the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7 and the fourth annular liquid flow channel 18 in the rubber cylinder 17 from overflowing, resulting in pressure loss and poor setting effect. During the setting process, the floating head 22 moves and buffers with the expansion amplitude of the rubber cylinder 17 to prevent the internal steel belt from being broken during the expansion of the rubber cylinder. The fifth sealing ring 30 plays a role in sealing and controlling pressure.

[0129] When the set pressure determined by the physical and mechanical parameters of the construction coal seam stratum is reached, the closing piston 4 pushes the constant-pressure spring 3 to reach the compression threshold value. At this time, the compression amount of the constant-pressure spring 3, that is, the displacement amount of the closing piston 4 moving axially upward, satisfies the complete sealing of the contact between the lower piston switch section 403 and the lower movable piston section 502 and cuts off the connection between the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7 and the liquid delivery port 8, that is, blocking the liquid inlet. At this time, the supply of high-pressure liquid in the rubber cylinder 17 is cut off, the pressure in the rubber cylinder 17 no longer increases, and the expansion size remains unchanged, achieving constant-pressure closing, avoiding the continuous pressurization of the rubber cylinder 17 causing excessive expansion and damage of the rubber cylinder 17 in soft and broken rock strata and coal seams, or the setting pressure being greater than the surrounding rock fracture pressure causing crack propagation at non-fracture positions.

[0130] If the surrounding rock is hard, a constant-pressure spring 3 with a larger stiffness coefficient k is selected, and a larger setting pressure is set under the same compression amount of the constant-pressure spring 3; if the surrounding rock is soft, a constant-pressure spring 3 with a smaller stiffness coefficient k is selected, and a smaller setting pressure is set under the same compression amount of the constant-pressure spring 3.

[0131] When pressure relief occurs, the supply of high-pressure liquid in the central pipe 1 stops, and the liquid in the closing piston 4 flows out from the liquid inlet 6, resulting in a gradual reduction in the pressure in the cavity of the piston intermediate cavity section 402 of the closing piston 4, that is, the pressure in the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7. At this time, the elastic force of the constant-pressure spring 3 is greater than the pressure in the cavity of the piston intermediate cavity section 402, so the constant-pressure spring 3 slowly rebounds and pushes the closing piston 4 back to its original position.

[0132] After the closing piston 4 is pushed back to its original position, the liquid delivery port 8 also returns to the inside of the piston intermediate cavity section 402 of the closing piston 4, that is, the liquid delivery port 8 is connected to the first high-pressure liquid flow cavity 7 again. The high-pressure liquid in the rubber barrel 17 flows out from the liquid delivery port 8 through the liquid inlet 6, and the rubber barrel 17 gradually shrinks, and the floating head 22 returns to its original position. At this time, the packer returns to the initial state of being unset, and normal liquid supply and pressure increase can be carried out. In this way, the packer can be efficiently and repeatedly set in the soft and broken coal rock stratum.
