Description

[0002] In the process of oilfield water well testing, the problem of wireline or cable abrasion is a long-standing issue. Since the wireline or cable directly contacts the central hole of the testing blowout preventer during the tripping process, the friction between the two can cause severe abrasion, which not only shortens the service life of the wireline or cable, but also affects the stability and accuracy of the testing instrument. Therefore, the wireline or cable needs to be replaced once a year, which not only increases the material cost, but also brings additional maintenance workload.

[0003] As the central hole of the testing blowout preventer gradually wears and becomes larger, high-pressure water in the well may be ejected from the blowout preventer, causing high-pressure water leakage. This leakage not only damages equipment, but also poses a threat to the safety of on-site workers. In order to prevent this from happening, new packing needs to be frequently replaced to maintain the sealing performance of the blowout preventer, which not only increases maintenance costs, but also makes equipment maintenance more cumbersome and affects work efficiency.

[0004] Under the prior art, the testing blowout preventer still has some limitations in design and application, including: 1. Lack of effective centralizing mechanism; 2. Curved wireline or cable produces local abrasion when passing through the hole of the blowout preventer due to friction with the edge of the hole, which not only increases the maintenance cost and workload of the equipment, but also may cause interruption of the testing work, affecting the continuity and efficiency of oilfield production.

[0019] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples, and the technical solutions in the examples of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described examples are only a part of the examples of the present application, not all examples. Based on the examples in the present application, all other examples obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] In the description of the present application, it is necessary to understand that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by "up", "down", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "top", "bottom", etc. are all based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and the purpose is only to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description, and it does not indicate or imply that the components referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1-5 The present application provides a new type of test anti-wear centralizing blowout preventer, which comprises a lower centralizing pipe 1, a test plug shell 2, two centralizing devices 3, an upper pressure cap 6 and a gland 7. As shown in Figure 2 The centralizing device 3 comprises a ball roller 8 and a plurality of balls 4, the plurality of balls 4 are evenly arranged in the ball roller 8, and the two centralizing devices 3 comprise an upper centralizing device and a lower centralizing device, the upper centralizing device and the lower centralizing device are oppositely arranged. As shown in Figure 3 The ball roller 8 is a hollow cylindrical structure, two parallel partitions are arranged inside the ball roller 8, the two partitions evenly divide the inner cavity of the ball roller 8 into three layers of space, and a plurality of balls 4 of the same size and arranged in order are arranged in each layer of space, the balls 4 are tangent to each other, which can provide uniform support and rolling contact surface in all directions for the test wire, a through hole is arranged at the center of the ball roller 8, so that the test wire can pass through smoothly, and the multiple layers of the centralizing device 3 are arranged to have a plurality of support points inside to evenly distribute the load and reduce stress concentration. The centralizing device 3 is filled with lubricating grease, which is a semi-solid lubricating material, and the lubricating grease has high viscosity and good lubricating performance, the lubricating grease is filled in the small gaps between the balls 4 and the ball roller 8, by filling these gaps, the lubricating grease can form a smooth lubricating film, which can significantly reduce the frictional resistance between the balls 4 and the inner wall of the ball roller 8 and the test wire when rolling; When the test wire passes through the centralizing device 3, the wire will come into contact with the balls 4, due to the presence of the lubricating grease, the balls 4 can freely roll under low resistance, thereby converting the original sliding friction into rolling friction. This conversion greatly reduces the frictional force suffered by the wire during movement, thereby reducing the wear and energy loss of the wire, and the lubricating grease also has a sealing effect, which can prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the ball roller 8, protect the cleanliness of the balls 4 and the ball roller 8, and prolong the service life of the device.

[0022] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the lower straightening tube 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the lower end of the lower straightening tube 1 is provided with an annular step. The inner wall size of the lower end of the lower straightening tube 1 matches the outer diameter of the rope cap of the testing instrument, which can ensure that the rope cap can be smoothly inserted into the lower end of the lower straightening tube 1. The annular step on the inner wall of the lower end of the lower straightening tube 1 is used to limit the rope cap of the testing instrument. The rope cap of the testing instrument can be directly inserted into the lower end of the lower straightening tube 1. The annular step on the inner wall of the lower end of the lower straightening tube 1 can effectively support and guide the steel wire, preventing it from bending and deforming under stress. The lower straightening tube 1 can not only protect the steel wire from damage, but also ensure that it can move smoothly during the test, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the entire testing instrument. The lower straightening tube 1 has an external thread at its upper end, which allows it to be threadedly connected to the test plug housing 2. The test plug housing 2 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and its internal space is used to accommodate various components and devices to ensure that the entire system remains stable and reliable during operation. The lower inner wall of the test plug housing 2 has an annular step. A lower straightening device is provided between the lower straightening tube 1 and the test plug housing 2. The annular step on the lower inner wall of the test plug housing 2 cooperates with the lower straightening tube 1 to position the lower straightening device. The lower straightening device is used to provide stable support and guidance to ensure that the test instrument wire passing through the blowout preventer maintains good concentricity and stability during operation. The upper pressure cap 6 is embedded in the upper end of the test plug shell 2, and a sealing filler 5 is provided between the two. The sealing filler 5 consists of two parts: the lower end is a cylindrical structure and the upper end is a conical structure with a through hole in the center. This allows the sealing filler 5 to not only fit tightly against the inner wall of the upper pressure cap 6 and the test plug shell 2, but also to effectively block the high-pressure water flow from the well and ensure the sealing performance of the system. like Figure 4 As shown, the upper pressure cap 6 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a pressure cap 7 at its upper end. An upper straightening device is provided between the upper pressure cap 6 and the pressure cap 7. The upper straightening device is used to provide stable support and guidance, ensuring that the testing instrument maintains good concentricity and stability during operation. The upper end of the test plug shell 2 is provided with an internal thread for threaded connection with the upper pressure cap 6. The lower end of the upper pressure cap 6 is provided with a conical structure that matches the upper end of the sealing packing 5. This ensures that the sealing packing 5 can tightly seal the gap between the test plug shell 2 and the upper pressure cap 6 when under pressure. The upper inner wall of the upper pressure cap 6 is provided with an annular step. This step cooperates with the pressure cap 7 to limit the upper straightening device inside the upper pressure cap 6, ensuring that it does not move axially during operation. The upper end of the pressure cap 6 is provided with external threads, allowing it to be threadedly connected to the pressure cap 7. The center of the pressure cap 7 is provided with a through hole that matches the center of the ball bearing 8, thus ensuring good coaxiality of the entire system during assembly and operation.

[0023] In the new type of test anti-abrasion centralizing blowout preventer, threaded connection and embedded design are adopted between each component, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the blowout preventer more convenient, greatly reducing the time and labor intensity of maintenance and replacement of parts. Threaded connection and embedded design also have good sealing performance and mechanical strength, threaded connection can ensure the close contact between each component, thereby providing good sealing effect, preventing fluid leakage and other safety hazards, and embedded design can increase the contact area between components, improve mechanical strength and tensile capacity, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0024] The actual working scenario of the new type of test anti-abrasion centralizing blowout preventer will be introduced in detail below.

[0025] During actual work, the lower centralizing device is placed at the lower end of the test plug shell 2, the lower centralizing pipe 1 is connected to the test plug shell 2 through threads, the lower centralizing device is pressed and fixed, then the sealing filler 5 is placed on the upper end of the test plug shell 2, and it is pressed tightly through the upper pressing cap 6, the upper centralizing device is placed on the upper end of the upper pressing cap 6 and fixed through the threaded cover 7. Before the test instrument goes downhole, the steel wire connected to the test instrument is passed through the center of the blowout preventer, and the test instrument rope cap is inserted into the lower end of the lower centralizing pipe 1. During work, the lower centralizing device and the upper centralizing device provide stable support and guidance to the steel wire. When the high-pressure fluid in the well gushes upward, it exerts pressure on the sealing filler 5, which deforms under pressure to seal the gap between the test plug shell 2, the upper pressing cap 6 and the test instrument steel wire, preventing high-pressure fluid leakage. When the blowout preventer needs to be maintained or parts replaced, it can be quickly disassembled and assembled through threaded connection and embedded design, which is convenient for on-site maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0026] This device processes 20 sets, and after being applied on site, it reduces the cost of replacing steel wire or cable abrasion by 500,000 yuan per year, and reduces the number of times the test plug stings water outward from 5 times per well to 1 time per well. According to data, it is estimated that after large-scale assembly production in the work area, the employee work intensity can be reduced by 80%, and the work efficiency can be improved by 2-3 times.
