Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of pressurized well completion equipment for oil and gas, and particularly to the technical field of design and manufacturing of fracturing disk devices for pressurized well completion processes. Specifically, it relates to a high-temperature and high-pressure experimental evaluation device for prefabricated tubing plugging tools on the surface. Background Technology
[0002] In all high-pressure live well completion operations in the oil and gas industry, ceramic plugs and soluble blind plugs are essential well control tools. Because ceramic plugs and soluble blind plugs operate under high temperature and pressure conditions in the well for extended periods, any problems can lead to blowouts, causing casualties and equipment damage. Therefore, in high-pressure live well completion projects, it is necessary to use experimental equipment to conduct long-term simulation experiments to verify their sealing performance and stability, and to confirm whether they meet the qualification standards.
[0003] A utility model patent with patent number CN201720165533.4 discloses a retrievable fracture disc for live well completion operations. This utility model includes an upper sealing joint and a lower sealing joint. The valve core of the upper sealing joint is smaller than that of the lower sealing joint. The upper and lower sealing joints are connected. Below the lower sealing joint, it is connected to a screen pipe via a connecting short section. The screen pipe has fluid flow holes on its wall and a check valve plate welded to its inner wall. This tool, used during live well completion operations, ensures the safety and reliability of the live operation process. After the valve cores in the upper and lower sealing joints are knocked off during completion, the check valve plate inside the screen pipe effectively prevents the valve cores that have fallen into the lower joint and guide head from moving back, effectively preventing blockage of the production tubing and avoiding accidents caused by blockage. It has good performance in use.
[0004] It is not difficult to see from the abstract of the specification that the above-mentioned patented design of the rupture disc is a short connector installed on the pipe string, including an upper sealing joint and a lower sealing joint, which is a tool used directly to seal the high-pressure oil and gas flow that may occur downhole during the construction process;
[0005] In existing technologies, all high-pressure live well completion processes, for safety reasons, generally use a fracture disc with a ceramic plug valve core or soluble blind plug at the end of the completion and production string. Some also use two imported fracture discs. To reduce production costs, some use imported fracture discs and add a pressure regulating valve to seal the tubing, ensuring safety when the completion string is run into the well. However, because the valve core of the fracture disc is made of ceramic material, it needs to be tested before manufacturing and use to ensure the reliability of these products. Using existing testing processes and equipment for high-temperature and high-pressure experimental evaluation requires long-term simulation experiments to verify its sealing performance and stability, and to confirm whether it meets the qualification standards.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can quickly and accurately perform high-temperature and high-pressure experimental evaluation of the fracture plate of well control tools. Summary of the Invention
