Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a tubing cutting device, in particular to a tubing cutting device in a pressure chamber of a snubbing operation and a process for cutting and pulling out a tubing. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the process of pulling up the tubing string in the snubbing operation, if the tubing, drill pipe or downhole tool is stuck in the well, the well needs to be temporarily shut in for a long period of time. However, the annular preventer cannot be shut in for a long time, and the full-enclosed ram preventer cannot be shut in either because of the pipe string inside. Therefore, the pipe string needs to be cut off below the full-enclosed ram preventer, the upper cut-off pipe string is taken out, and the passage of the full-enclosed ram preventer is left open to facilitate the full-enclosed shut-in of the full-enclosed ram preventer. In the full-enclosed and full-process snubbing operation of oil, water and gas wells, because some tool strings have bypass passages in the inner and outer cavities (such as water distributor tool strings), the bypass passages have controllable valve members to be closed or passed through, but if the valve members fail, the inner cavity of the tool string and the annulus in the well may be in a through state, and the fluid in the tool string communicates with the annulus in the well. When the tool string is pulled out of the annular preventer on the upper part of the pressure chamber of the snubbing operation equipment, the bypass passage will spray the high-pressure fluid in the tool string, resulting in the failure to implement the full-enclosed snubbing operation. In order to achieve the full-enclosed snubbing operation, the tool string below the bypass passage of the tool string needs to be cut off below the full-enclosed ram preventer of the pressure chamber, the upper pipe string is controllably taken out, and then the full-enclosed ram preventer is closed. Then, a special lifting sub is used to controllably lower into the annular preventer through the lifting device, the full-enclosed ram preventer is opened, the lower tool string is connected by the lifting sub, and the lifting work is continued, thereby avoiding the high-pressure fluid from being sprayed from the bypass passage after the bypass passage is directly pulled out of the annular preventer.

[0003] Before the snubbing operation of some oil, water and gas wells, the pipe string needs to be put into a plug. However, because the plug seat sealing position is difficult to determine or difficult to put into the lowermost part of the pipe string, when the pipe string is pulled out under pressure, the fluid pressure in the pipe string above the plug is zero at the uppermost part, and when the pipe string above the plug is pulled out, well blowout basically does not occur in the pipe string. However, when the remaining pipe string below the plug is taken out, well blowout occurs. If the snubbing operation equipment is equipped with a function component that can make up or break out the thread in the pressure chamber, the pipe string below the plug can be made up or broken out in the pressure chamber, and then the remaining pipe string is taken out by using a special lifting sub. However, sometimes the pipe string connection thread is rusted and cannot be disassembled. At this time, the pipe string needs to be cut off below the full-enclosed ram preventer, the upper pipe string is taken out, and then the lifting sub is controllably lowered into the pressure chamber, the lower pipe string is connected, and then the remaining pipe string is pulled out under pressure.

[0004] To cut tubing strings, three types of cutting devices are commonly used. The first is a mechanical cutting blade, where the blade head needs to be lowered into the well into the upper part of the tubing using a small-diameter rod-shaped extension rod under pressure. After the blade head is lowered to the cutting position, the small-diameter extension rod of the blade is rotated to allow the blade head to rotate and feed along the radial direction of the tubing string, slowly cutting it off. However, this cutting method is difficult to implement, inefficient, and unreliable. The second type is an in-tubing electric cutting tool. This tool needs to be lowered into the well using a cable-connected assembly outside the tubing. This tool string structure is quite complex, and it places high demands on the performance and reliability of the electric cutting tool. The result of the cutting is difficult to judge, and the electric cutting tool also requires an external control system, resulting in higher costs and the inability to operate under pressure. The third type is the annular external cutting device. This device is driven by a hydraulic drive, but it uses a pair of individual cutting rod-shaped cutters. The cutter and the built-in ring gear drive rotating parts are set around the outside of the pipe string to be cut. Once the guide rod of the rod-shaped cutter breaks or is damaged, it cannot be replaced during construction. Moreover, the radial movement of the rod-shaped cutter is driven by the hydraulic piston in the hydraulic drive, but the amount of movement of the piston rod of the hydraulic piston cannot be controlled, and it is impossible to determine whether both guide rods are engaged in the work. The reliability of cutting is low. Once the cutter rod breaks and falls into the well, it will cause a stuck drill accident. Summary of the Invention
