TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of drilling technology, and particularly relates to a large displacement horizontal well depth correction tool pumping system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Perforation completion is widely used in shale gas reservoir and low permeability reservoir development at home and abroad, and depth correction positioning is a key link of perforation operation. In the depth correction positioning ring, the depth correction tool needs to be lowered to the horizontal well bore pipe, and for the lowering of the depth correction tool in the ultra-deep well large displacement horizontal well section, the pumping mode needs to be used to drive the depth correction tool to move. The pumping process is mainly affected by the pumping displacement and the cable lowering speed, and the two must be coordinated to ensure the safe lowering of the tool.
[0003] For the depth correction tool pumping operation in the large displacement horizontal well, in order to reduce the difficulty of lowering the conveying drill string and reduce the hanging load of the whole drill string, a combined drill string design of "large diameter upper section + small diameter lower section" is often used. This makes the depth correction tool need a higher pumping displacement in the rough drill pipe to ensure sufficient impact force, and the circulating pressure consumption of the pumping fluid through the fine drill pipe and the annulus will be significantly increased, thereby causing the ground pumping pressure to be too high, which brings potential risks to the safety of pumping operation. At present, the control of the pumping displacement and the cable lowering speed depends on the subjective judgment of the workers according to experience, which requires higher requirements for the workers. If the displacement is too high and the cable is not lowered in time, the cable will be under greater stress, and if it exceeds a certain range, the cable will be damaged or even broken. On the contrary, if the lowering speed is too high, the cable will be accumulated and wound in the well, which is easy to cause downhole accidents. SUMMARY

[0024] In addition, compared with the prior art, the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 also provides a new control method for the cable lowering speed, the greater the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4, the greater the resistance to the pumping fluid, thereby reasonably blocking the water flow to form a larger pressure to push the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to advance, and cooperating with the control of the hydraulic pump 3 and the winch 2, the moving speed of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 in the horizontal well can be more accurately and cooperatively regulated, so that the moving speed of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 in the horizontal well can always match the cable lowering speed, and the dynamic response performance and control accuracy of the deep correction tool pumping operation are further optimized.
[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 comprises a short section body 41, a fan blade 42 and a fan blade driving member 43, the short section body 41 is connected with a cable, a fan blade accommodating space 416 is arranged on the circumferential side of the short section body 41 for accommodating the fan blade 42, the fan blade driving member 43 is used to drive the fan blade 42 to extend or retract in the fan blade accommodating space 416 along the radial direction of the short section body 41, the controller 1 is in communication connection with the fan blade driving member 43, and the diameter adjustment of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 according to the real-time tension of the cable comprises: controlling the fan blade driving member 43 to adjust the extension amount of the fan blade 42 according to the real-time tension of the cable, so as to adjust the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4. Then, by controlling the working stroke of the fan blade driving member 43, the extension length of the fan blade 42 along the radial direction of the short section body 41 can be accurately controlled, and then the precise adjustment of the overall outer diameter of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 is realized. Specifically, when it is needed to increase the moving speed of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4, the controller 1 controls the fan blade driving member 43 to drive the fan blade 42 to extend outward from the fan blade accommodating space 416 by a longer distance, so as to increase the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 to increase the resistance to the pumped liquid; on the contrary, when it is needed to reduce the moving speed of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4, the controller 1 controls the fan blade driving member 43 to drive the fan blade 42 to retract into the fan blade accommodating space 416, so as to shorten the extension amount of the fan blade 42 and reduce the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 to reduce the resistance.
[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, the fan blade driving member 43 is arranged as a motor, the short section body 41 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the motor and comprises a fixed disc part 411 and a rotating disc part 412 arranged in sequence along the rotating shaft, the fixed disc part 411 is connected with the shell of the motor and forms the fan blade accommodating space 416, the rotating disc part 412 is connected with the key groove of the rotating shaft and is formed with a sliding groove 414, the sliding groove 414 is curved and extends inward from the edge of the rotating disc part 412, a sliding rod 415 is arranged in the sliding groove 414, and the sliding rod 415 is connected with the fan blade 42.

The extension amount of the fan blade 42 can be accurately controlled by the rotation angle of the motor, so as to realize the stepless adjustment of the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4.
[0027] Specifically, a motor rotor is arranged in the shell of the motor, the motor rotor is connected with a driving shaft, a driving gear is arranged on the driving shaft, the rotating shaft of the motor is arranged as a driven shaft, a driven gear is arranged on the driven shaft, and the driving gear is engaged with the driven gear to realize the transmission of power.

[0028] Specifically, the fixed disc part 411 is provided with an auxiliary groove corresponding to the sliding groove 414 on the side facing the rotating disc part 412, one end of the sliding rod 415 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 414, and the other end is slidingly embedded in the auxiliary groove, the auxiliary groove and the sliding groove 414 jointly guide and limit the movement track of the sliding rod 415, preventing the sliding rod 415 from radially deviating or shaking during the driving of the fan blade 42, and further improving the stability and accuracy of the fan blade 42.
[0029] Specifically, a threaded segment is formed on a section of the sliding rod 415 away from the fan blade 42, and a nut is sleeved on the threaded segment. By screwing the nut, a pulling force can be applied to the sliding rod 415 and the fan blade 42 towards the rotating disc part 412, so that the fan blade 42 is attached to the side wall of the fan blade containing space 416, avoiding the shaking of the fan blade 42 under the action of the pumped liquid.
[0030] Of course, the present application is not limited to this, the fan blade driving part 43 is arranged as a telescopic structure arranged in the fan blade containing space 416, for example, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder directly drives the sliding rod 415 to drive the fan blade 42 to perform telescopic action, or a motor is used to cooperate with a screw nut mechanism to convert rotary motion into linear motion to realize position adjustment of the fan blade 42, which can also meet the basic functional requirements of the telescopic adjustment of the fan blade 42. However, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the design of gear transmission combined with double disc guiding structure can effectively save the installation volume in the fan blade containing space 416 while ensuring the adjustment accuracy and movement stability of the fan blade 42, avoiding excessive occupation of the pumping channel, so as to ensure that the pumping efficiency is not significantly affected.
[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of short sections 41 are sleeved on the rotating shaft, each short section 41 is provided with a fan blade containing space 416, so as to further increase the resistance to the pumped liquid and improve the pumping effect; and the rotating shaft can drive the fan blades 42 on the plurality of short sections 41 to move synchronously, ensuring the adjustment consistency between the fan blades 42 and improving the cooperative working efficiency of the overall pumping system.
[0032] Specifically, the diameter of the fixed disc part 411 is greater than the diameter of the rotating disc part 412, and the circumferential side of the fixed disc part 411 and the shell is formed with a connecting groove 413, and the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 further comprises a connecting strip assembly, the connecting strip assembly is formed with a connecting part corresponding to each connecting groove 413, the connecting part is used for embedding in the connecting groove 413, so as to realize the detachable fixed connection between the fixed disc part 411 and the shell, and between the fixed disc parts 411, ensuring the structural stability of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 during work.
[0033] Specifically, the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 further comprises an adapter joint 45, which is arranged on the two sides of the short section body 41 separately from the housing of the fan driving member 43, and is connected with the fixed disc part 411 of the short section body 41.
[0034] Further, each fixed disc part 411 is formed with at least two connecting grooves 413, and the connecting strip assembly comprises a plurality of connecting strips 44, each of which is formed with a connecting part at both ends, each of which is matched with a corresponding connecting groove 413, and the stable connection between the plurality of fixed disc parts 411 and between the fixed disc part 411 and the housing is realized by embedding the connecting parts at both ends of the connecting strip 44 into the connecting grooves 413 of the adjacent fixed disc part 411 or the connecting grooves 413 of the housing, respectively. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 413 can be T-shaped, L-shaped or dovetail-shaped, and the shape of the connecting part is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 413 to prevent the connecting strip 44 from falling off during work and to ensure the reliability of the connection.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the circumferential side of each fixed disc part 411 is formed with at least two fan accommodating spaces 416 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the fixed disc part 411, and the fan accommodating spaces 416 on the adjacent two fixed disc parts are arranged in a staggered manner, so that the fans 42 on the adjacent short section bodies 41 are arranged in a staggered manner, thereby increasing the blocking effect on the pumped liquid. Specifically, the fans 42 on each short section body 41 are arranged in a staggered manner in sequence, so that the projection of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 in the axial direction forms a complete circle, thereby covering the cross section of the drill pipe to the maximum extent. Specifically, the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 comprises four short section bodies 41, each of which is arranged with three fans 42, and the three fans 42 are arranged at intervals of 120°, wherein the numbers of the short section bodies 41 are one, two, three and four in sequence, the initial phase angle of the fan 42 on the first short section body 41 is 0°, the phase angle of the fan 42 on the second short section body 41 relative to the fan 42 on the first short section body 41 is staggered by 30°, the phase angle of the fan 42 on the third short section body 41 relative to the fan 42 on the second short section body 41 is staggered by 30°, and the phase angle of the fan 42 on the fourth short section body 41 relative to the fan 42 on the third short section body 41 is staggered by 30°, so that the projections of the fans 42 on the four short section bodies 41 in the axial direction of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 together form a complete circle, thereby realizing the full coverage of the cross section of the drill pipe.
[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the variable-diameter pumping short sections 4 is multiple, and the multiple variable-diameter pumping short sections 4 are arranged at intervals along the cable in sequence, and the controller 1 can control the diameter of each variable-diameter pumping short section 4 individually, so as to flexibly adjust the resistance to the pumped liquid according to the actual working conditions of different well sections.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the real-time tension of the cable is determined by the tension detection module 8, the flow rate of the hydraulic pump 3 is adjusted according to the real-time tension, the rotating speed of the winch 2 is adjusted, and the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 is adjusted. The real-time tension of the cable is determined by the tension detection module 8. In the case that the real-time tension is less than the minimum preset safety value, the target tension is determined. The target displacement, the target rotating speed and the target diameter are determined according to the target tension and the target tension calculation formula. The hydraulic pump 3 is controlled to adjust to the target displacement, the winch 2 is controlled to adjust to the target rotating speed, and the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 is controlled to adjust to the target diameter. The target tension is greater than the minimum preset safety value and less than the maximum preset safety value, and the target tension calculation formula is: In the formula, F 张 The target tension is T, Q The target displacement is Q, p The density of the pumped liquid is p, D The target diameter is D, D The inner diameter of the horizontal wellbore drill pipe 6 is d, L The length of the pumping tool string composed of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 and the depth correction tool 5 is L, μ The viscosity of the pumped liquid is m, v The pumping speed (i.e. the target rotating speed of the winch) is V, M The mass of the pumping tool string is M, and g is the acceleration of gravity, V The volume of the pumping tool string is V, f The friction coefficient between the pumping tool string and the drill pipe is f, θ The inclination angle of the drill pipe where the pumping tool string is located is i.
[0038] It can be understood that when the real-time tension is less than the minimum preset safety value, the cable is in a slack state, which is prone to cause the cable to be wound, knotted and the like in the well, not only affecting the normal progress of the depth correction tool pumping operation, but also possibly causing a serious threat to the construction safety of the entire extended reach horizontal well. By controlling the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 to increase the diameter, the acting force between the variable-diameter pumping short section 4 and the pumped liquid can be effectively increased, so as to accelerate the movement of the variable-diameter pumping short section 4, gradually increase the tension of the cable, and restore the cable to the safe working range, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the depth correction tool pumping system in the well.
[0039] It should be noted that the controller 1 can select to change one of the target diameter, the target rotating speed and the target displacement, or select to change two or all of them.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, after the control of the hydraulic pump 3 to adjust to the target displacement, the control of the winch 2 to adjust to the target rotating speed, and the control of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to adjust to the target diameter, the embodiment further comprises: The real-time tension of the cable is determined again by the tension detection module 8. In the case that the real-time tension is less than the minimum preset safety value and the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 reaches the maximum diameter, the winch 2 is controlled to reduce the rotating speed and / or the hydraulic pump 3 is controlled to increase the displacement.
[0041] It can be understood that, if the inner diameter of the drill pipe is large, the case that the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 reaches the maximum diameter still has a large gap with the inner wall of the drill pipe, at this time, the effect of the acting force between the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 and the pumping liquid is limited, which may result in that the cable tension is still difficult to recover to the safety range. In view of this situation, in the embodiment of the present application, after the controller 1 controls the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to reach the maximum diameter, if it is found again by the tension detection module 8 that the real-time tension is still less than the minimum preset safety value, a cooperative control strategy is further adopted, that is, the rotating speed of the winch 2 is reduced to reduce the lowering speed of the cable, and / or the displacement of the hydraulic pump 3 is increased to increase the flow rate and flow volume of the pumping liquid. The reduction of the rotating speed of the winch 2 can reduce the lowering length of the cable per unit time, thereby avoiding the cable from being excessively relaxed; the increase of the displacement of the hydraulic pump 3 can significantly increase the pushing force of the pumping liquid on the variable-diameter pumping sub 4, thereby more effectively driving the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to move in the drill pipe, and promoting the rapid recovery of the cable tension, so as to cope with the complex working conditions such as the excessively large inner diameter of the drill pipe, and ensure the continuous and safe pumping operation of the depth correction tool.
[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 1 is in communication connection with the hydraulic pump 3, and after determining the real-time tension of the cable by the tension detection module 8, the embodiment further comprises: In the case that the real-time tension is greater than the maximum preset safety value, the displacement of the hydraulic pump 3 is reduced.
[0043] It can be understood that, when the real-time tension is greater than the maximum preset safety value, the cable is excessively tensioned, at this time, the cable bears too large tension, which is easy to cause the cable to be damaged due to overload, such as breakage, thereby affecting the safety and reliability of the pumping operation of the depth correction tool. Therefore, the controller 1 controls the hydraulic pump 3 to reduce the displacement, which can reduce the flow rate and flow volume of the pumping liquid, thereby reducing the pushing force of the pumping liquid on the variable-diameter pumping sub 4, reducing the moving speed of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 in the drill pipe, weakening the tension on the cable, promoting the real-time tension of the cable to fall back to the safety range, avoiding the cable from being damaged due to excessive tension, and ensuring the stable development of the pumping operation of the depth correction tool. In addition, although the selection of reducing the diameter of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 or increasing the wire laying speed of the winch 2 can make the tension of the cable fall back, the selection of reducing the displacement can achieve the additional effect of energy saving.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 is further provided with a displacement sensor for detecting the displacement value of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4, and the controller 1 is in communication connection with the displacement sensor and the hydraulic pump 3, and after determining the real-time tension of the cable by the tension detection module 8, the controller 1 further comprises: determining the change value of the cable tension within a preset time period; in the case that the change value is greater than the maximum preset change value and the displacement value of the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 remains constant, controlling the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to shorten the diameter and controlling the hydraulic pump 3 to increase the displacement.
[0045] It can be understood that when the cable tension rapidly decreases and the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 remains stationary, it indicates that the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 is trapped in a stuck state, i.e., it encounters a larger frictional resistance or an obstacle in the drill pipe, resulting in the inability to continue moving along the preset path. In this case, the controller 1 needs to take timely measures, such as controlling the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to shorten the diameter to reduce the contact area with the inner wall of the drill pipe, thereby reducing the frictional resistance, and controlling the hydraulic pump 3 to increase the displacement to increase the pushing force of the pumped liquid, helping the variable-diameter pumping sub 4 to get out of the stuck area and restore normal movement, ensuring that the pumping operation of the depth correction tool can continue.
