Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of downhole oil and gas pipe cable joints, in particular to a downhole cable passing joint. Background Art

[0002] Coiled tubing is used for transportation in both oil and gas production operations. To facilitate control of underground equipment, cables connecting downhole tools are often laid. Installing cables within the coiled tubing can reduce damage. Cables installed within downhole coiled tubing are referred to as downhole continuous composite tubing cables.

[0003] Downhole continuous composite cable systems come in two configurations: the first uses an inner tube for fluid flow and an outer tube for cable passage; the second uses an inner tube for cable passage and an outer tube for fluid flow. Cables in this second configuration are less susceptible to mechanical damage due to the dual protection of the inner and outer tubes. Therefore, they are more widely used in downhole continuous composite cable systems to prevent downhole tool failure.

[0004] Currently, there are many types of downhole tools, each with a different installation location. Some can connect to cables from the inner tube, while others can only connect to cables from the outer tube, which necessitates conversion between the two aforementioned structures. For example, if the upper-level composite cable is of the second structure and equipped with downhole tools that connect to the inner tube cables, while the downhole tools of the current-level composite cable are distributed around the outer tube, it is necessary to guide the cables from the upper-level inner tube into the current-level outer tube, and to guide the fluid from the upper-level outer tube into the current-level inner tube, so that the downhole tools of the current level can connect to the cables.

[0005] At the same time, downhole continuous composite cable is used to power downhole tools. Because the cable remains sealed within the cable, once the well reaches a certain depth, the power cable is directly drawn from the continuous composite cable to connect to the downhole tool. This leads to high pressure differentials on the cable and the seals at the exit. Actual testing has shown that when the downhole pressure differential reaches 70 MPa, the small flat plugs of existing submersible electric pumps on the market cannot guarantee the normal operation of their power cables and seals under such high differential pressures. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problems pointed out in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a downhole cable crossing joint, which can switch the cable originally located in the inner tube to the outer tube, and at the same time take pre-protection measures for the power cable to be led out, to ensure the insulation of the led-out cable and the sealing of the seals at the lead-out part, thereby providing effective technical support for the normal operation of downhole tools.

This ensures the proper operation of downhole tool cable connections (e.g., the small flat plug of a submersible pump) while also ensuring the insulation of the cables within the capsule tube. The outlet of the third cable channel is connected to the power cable exit interface and the signal cable exit interface, respectively, enabling connection to downhole tools that require external plugging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1-14 As shown, the present invention provides a downhole cable crossing joint, including an adapter 1, an adapter socket 2 and a first connecting pipe 3. The adapter socket 2 has a second cable channel and a second liquid flow channel inside. The outlet of the second liquid flow channel is arranged in the middle of the rear end of the adapter socket 2, and the outlet of the second cable channel is arranged around the outside of the outlet of the second liquid flow channel. The outlet of the second cable channel is connected to a second cable sealing joint assembly 21; the front end of the adapter socket 2 is connected to the upper composite pipe cable, and the inlet of the second liquid flow channel is connected to the outer pipe of the upper composite pipe cable, and the inlet of the second cable channel is connected to the inner pipe of the upper composite pipe cable; The adapter 1 includes an outer protective tube 11, a capsule tube 12, a first inner tube 13, and a first base 14. The first base 14 has a first liquid flow channel, a first cable channel A, and a first cable channel B. The rear end of the first base 14 is connected to a valve 15. The front end of the first base 14 is connected to the rear end of the first inner tube 13. The rear end of the first inner tube 13 is connected to the inlet of the valve 15 through the first liquid flow channel, and the front end of the first inner tube 13 is connected to the outlet of the second liquid flow channel. The capsule tube 12 is arranged outside the first inner tube 13, and a third cable channel is formed between the capsule tube 12 and the first inner tube 13; The outer protective tube 11 is disposed outside the capsule tube 12. The outer protective tube 11 has a plurality of through-holes A in the tube wall that communicate with the outside world. The rear ends of the capsule tube 12 and the outer protective tube 11 are respectively connected to the first base 14. The front ends of the capsule tube 12 and the outer protective tube 11 are respectively connected to the rear ends of the first connecting tube 3. The rear end of the first connecting tube 3 is connected to the rear end of the adapter socket 2. The capsule tube 12 is a flexible tube that can withstand high pressure. The two ends of the capsule tube 12 are respectively connected to the first base 14 and the first connecting tube 3 by a pipe clamp. The outlet of the third cable channel is connected to the inlet of the first cable channel A and the inlet of the first cable channel B respectively, and the inlet of the third cable channel is connected to the second cable sealing joint assembly 21 through the first connecting pipe 3; A second cable is provided in the second cable channel, a third cable is provided in the third cable channel, a first cable sealing joint assembly A16 for connecting a signal cable is provided in the first cable channel A, and a first cable sealing joint assembly B (not shown) for connecting a power cable is provided in the first cable channel B. The second and third cables are hybrid cables consisting of a signal cable and a power cable, and are output separately from adapter 1. One end of the third cable is connected to the external output cable through the first cable sealing joint assembly A16 and the first cable sealing joint assembly B, and the other end of the third cable is connected to the second cable through the second cable sealing joint assembly 21. After the third cable in the third cable channel is connected, motor oil is injected, and the first cable sealing joint assembly A16, the first cable sealing joint assembly B and the second cable sealing joint assembly 21 keep the third cable channel sealed.

[0035] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting tube 3 is provided with an oiling hole 5 for injecting oil into the third cable channel. The oiling hole 5 communicates with the third cable channel through the lumen of the first connecting tube 3 and is sealed after oil injection. Of course, the oiling hole 5 can also be located on the first base 14, as long as the oiling hole 5 communicates with the third cable channel and is easily sealed.

[0036] The problems solved by the present invention mainly include the following two aspects: First, guide the cable in the inner tube of the upper composite cable into the second cable channel, the third cable channel (the third cable channel is equivalent to the outer tube lumen of the upper composite cable), and finally into the downhole fluid environment. Simultaneously, the downhole fluid is introduced into the central channel of the adapter 1 (i.e., the first liquid flow channel and the first inner tube 13) for circulation, and then guided into the outer tube of the upper composite cable through the adapter socket 2. 2. When the cables in the composite pipe and cable are led out to the underground high-voltage differential fluid environment, the seal at the terminal cable joint is easily damaged due to the high voltage differential. Under the high voltage differential, the sealing insulation of the power cable itself will also be affected, and the high-voltage fluid will invade the insulation layer. Even if there is circuit protection, the high-voltage fluid will still invade the composite pipe and cable step by step, causing long-range faults in the power cable inside the composite pipe and cable. The present invention injects non-conductive motor oil into the capsule tube and adaptively boosts the closed environment of the power cable in advance, which can reduce the risk of damage to the seal at the cable joint, and at the same time resist the invasion of conductive fluid underground into the power cable, thereby improving the protective performance of the composite pipe and cable.
