[0040] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this invention, specific embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a jet negative pressure sand-retrieving cylinder includes a cylinder tube 1 and a jet negative pressure nozzle 2. The jet negative pressure nozzle 2 is installed at the front end of the cylinder tube 1. The cylinder tube 1 includes a main pipe 3 and a secondary pipe 4 arranged side by side. The secondary pipe 4 is connected to the jet negative pressure nozzle 2 and is used to transport power fluid. There is a liquid inlet 5 between the main pipe 3 and the jet negative pressure nozzle 2.
[0043] The jet negative pressure nozzle 2 includes a first nozzle 6 and a second nozzle 7. The first nozzle 6 faces the direction of the sand scooping cylinder and generates a first jet in the direction of the cylinder when in use. The second nozzle 7 is located inside the main pipe 3 and faces the main pipe 3. When in use, it generates a second jet in the direction of the main pipe 3, forming a negative pressure inside the main pipe 3. Sand particles are drawn into the main pipe 3 through the liquid inlet 5.
[0044] Furthermore, the jet negative pressure nozzle 2 includes a first jet head 8 and a second jet head 9 rotatably connected to each other. The first jet head 8 is provided with a plurality of first nozzles 6, and the axes of the plurality of first nozzles 6 converge at the same sphere center. The second jet head 9 is provided with at least one second nozzle 7 whose axis coincides with the axis of the main pipe 3. The jet negative pressure nozzle 2 causes the liquid flow channel to narrow at the first nozzle 6 and the second nozzle 7. In use, the first jet head 8 generates a first jet towards the front hemispherical surface to impact and wash the deposited sand and scale. The washed sand particles mix with the liquid to generate a solid-liquid mixed-phase fluid. Under the action of the first jet, the solid-liquid mixed-phase fluid is in a suspended state for a long time. The second jet head 9 generates a second jet towards the rear end of the main pipe 3, forming a negative pressure in the main pipe 3 and drawing the solid-liquid mixed-phase fluid into the main pipe 3.
[0045] Furthermore, the first spray head 8 is provided with four first nozzles 6, and the first nozzles 6 are at a preset angle to the axis of the tube 1.
[0046] Furthermore, the diameter of the first nozzle 6 is a first preset diameter, and the diameter of the second nozzle 7 is a second preset diameter.
[0047] Furthermore, the second preset diameter is larger than the first preset diameter.
[0048] Furthermore, the tube 1 includes an outer wall 101 and an inner wall 102. The inner wall 102 forms a secondary tube 4, and the space between the inner wall 102 and the outer wall 101 forms a main tube 3. There are two secondary tubes 4 inside the tube 1. The two secondary tubes 4 are located outside the main tube 3 and are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the tube 1.
[0049] Furthermore, at one end of each of the plurality of cylindrical tubes 1, the main tube 3 and the secondary tube 4 have a reduced diameter, and the plurality of main tubes 3 and secondary tubes 4 are inserted sequentially, and the cylindrical tubes 1 are connected by a sliding sleeve 15.
[0050] Furthermore, the tube 1 includes a type A tube 10 and a type B tube 11. The main tube 3 and the auxiliary tube 4 in the type A tube 10 are connected from front to back. The auxiliary tube 4 in the type A tube 10 includes a straight section 401 and a curved section 402 connected to each other. The end of the curved section 402 connected to the jet negative pressure nozzle 2 is at a preset angle to the axis of the main tube 3 and extends into the main tube 3.
[0051] The secondary tube 4 in the B-type tube 11 is connected from front to back, and one end of the main tube 3 is sealed. The jet negative pressure nozzle 2, the A-type tube 10, and the B-type tube 11 are connected in sequence. The sealed end of the main tube 2 in the B-type tube 11 is away from the direction of the jet negative pressure nozzle 2.
[0052] Furthermore, the tube 2 also includes a C-type tube 12, in which the main tube 3 and the auxiliary tube 4 are both straight and pass through each other. The C-type main tube 12 is located between the A-type tube 10 and the B-type tube 11.
[0053] Furthermore, the main pipe 3 of the C-shaped tube 12 is equipped with a baffle-type flap 13. The flap 13 moves unidirectionally away from the jet negative pressure nozzle 2 to prevent sand particles from flowing back and to facilitate the disassembly of the sand-collecting tube after it is pulled out of the wellhead.
[0054] Furthermore, the outer wall of the B-type tube 11 is provided with a window, and a filter screen 14 is installed at the window. The solid-liquid mixed phase fluid enters the main tube 3, flows out through the upper filter screen 14 and merges into the annulus, while the sand particles are left in the main tube 3, thereby realizing the integrated operation of flushing and sand removal, and improving the sand removal efficiency of the horizontal well section.
[0055] In some preferred embodiments of this example, the outer wall of the C-shaped tube is provided with a window, and a filter screen 14 is installed at the window. The solid-liquid mixed-phase fluid enters the main tube 3, flows out through the upper filter screen 14 and merges into the annulus, while the sand particles are left in the main tube 3, thereby realizing the integrated operation of flushing and sand removal and improving the sand removal efficiency of the horizontal well section.
[0056] Furthermore, the window is of a preset size, and the filter 14 has preset mesh size.
[0057] Furthermore, the jet negative pressure sand-removing cylinder also includes a conversion joint 16. One end of the conversion joint 16 is connected to the sealed end of the main pipe in the B-type cylinder 11, and the other end of the conversion joint 16 is connected to the screen pipe, guiding the liquid (power fluid / sand-washing fluid) in the upper oil pipe and the screen pipe to the symmetrically distributed secondary pipes 4. The conversion joint 16 is connected to the cylinder 1 by a union lock cap, which is quick and reliable.
[0058] Furthermore, the jet negative pressure sand-collecting cylinder also includes a guide shoe 17. The inner surface of the guide shoe 17 is streamlined. The guide shoe 17 is connected to the end of the cylinder 1 facing the jet negative pressure nozzle 2, which can effectively guide sand particles into the sand-collecting cylinder.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] The difference from Example 1 is that in this example:
[0061] The jet negative pressure sand-removing cylinder includes a conversion joint, a cylinder tube, a jet negative pressure nozzle, and a guide shoe connected in sequence. The cylinder tube of the sand-removing cylinder consists of a main tube and pre-fabricated auxiliary tubes (1 or 2 tubes, the specific number and size can be determined according to the actual working conditions). The end face of the sand-removing cylinder is designed with a circular water tank that connects the flow channels of the auxiliary tubes. The sand-washing liquid is injected from the upper auxiliary tube, enters the next auxiliary tube through the circular water tank, and finally sprays out from the jet negative pressure nozzle. This design simplifies the docking process of the sand-removing cylinder and solves the problem of auxiliary tube docking during the docking process.
[0062] The uniform outer diameter of each conversion joint, tube, and guide shoe in the jet negative pressure sand dredging cylinder reduces the risk of snagging during the washing and sand dredging operation.
[0063] The top of the adapter has a female oil pipe thread, which connects to the upper screen pipe; the bottom of the adapter is designed with a sliding union that connects to the lower cylinder. It is hung on the bottom of the adapter by the union. When connecting to the lower cylinder, it can be removed from the hanging point by rotating clockwise. After aligning with the lower cylinder, continue to rotate clockwise to connect to the lower cylinder.
[0064] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the upper end of the tube is designed with a male threaded union, which connects and seals with the upper adapter or sliding sleeve union.
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner cavity of the first type B spool connecting the adapter is closed, while the type C spool is open at both ends, as shown. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the liquid (power fluid / sand flushing fluid) in the upper oil pipe flows down to the jet negative pressure nozzle through the secondary pipe;
[0066] The B-type tubing is located at the top of the sand-removing tubing. A 30mm*30mm window is opened in the wall of the B-type tubing to install a filter screen, so that fine sand particles can be returned from the sand-removing tubing to the wellbore, thereby improving the sand-removing ability.
[0067] The C-type cylinder is located at the bottom of the sand-dredging cylinder, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a flap is installed inside the main pipe of the C-type cylinder to prevent sand particles entering the sand-collecting cylinder from leaking out.
[0068] like Figure 5As shown, the jet negative pressure nozzle consists of a second nozzle fixed at the rear, a rotary joint in the middle, and a first nozzle at the front. The first nozzle can rotate relative to the cylinder axis under the push of the oblique jet, while the second nozzle is fixed relative to the cylinder.
[0069] The second jet head is equipped with a second nozzle (4mm or 6mm in diameter). After generating a high-speed jet, a negative pressure is generated in the internal narrowing section, which draws the solid-liquid mixed fluid generated by the rotating jet unblocking nozzle into the sand-removing cylinder. On the other hand, the high-speed fluid vigorously impacts and pushes the sand particles entering the cylinder, improving the sand-removing ability and efficiency.
[0070] The central rotary joint drives the lower rotating jet unblocking nozzle to generate a powerful flushing fluid flow.
[0071] The first jet head is equipped with four evenly distributed first nozzles with 3mm inclined internal flow channels. The flow channel axis is at a 45° angle with the jet head assembly axis, which can generate self-rotation to powerfully clean the well barrel wall and cause the solid-liquid fluid generated by flushing to rotate, so as to facilitate the rapid and efficient suction of the solid-liquid fluid into the sand removal cylinder.
[0072] in:
[0073] At least one of the second nozzles is located at the center of the second jet head. After generating a high-speed jet, it generates a negative pressure, which draws the solid-liquid mixed-phase fluid generated by the rotating jet unblocking nozzle into the sand-removing cylinder and carries it deep into the sand-removing cylinder.
[0074] Four first nozzles are evenly distributed on the circumference of the first spray head. Each first nozzle has an inclined internal flow channel with an inner diameter of 3 mm. The first nozzle is at an angle of 45° to the axis, which can generate high impact pressure to impact the scale. At the same time, the generated rotating jet fully covers and cleans the pipe wall, and causes the solid and liquid fluid generated by rinsing to rotate, so as to facilitate the rapid and efficient suction of the solid and liquid fluid into the sand removal cylinder.

[0093] 5. Select a hydraulic four-way connector of the appropriate specification.
