Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of completion tools for setting packers and temporarily plugging pipe columns in oil and gas well completion operations, and particularly relates to a temporary plugging tool for oil pipes. Background Art

[0002] The ball seat is a downhole tool used to complete the sealing of the hydraulic packer. Its main functions are: a temporary tubing plugging tool (seating short section) is connected to the lower part of the completion string packer. Before sealing, the tubing is unobstructed and can circulate; when the packer is set, it can cooperate with the plug to achieve sealing in the tubing and pressurize the tubing; after setting, it cannot be knocked down, and the plug must be pulled out to achieve unobstructed tubing. The ball seat used for conventional plugging is mainly used for sealing in vertical well sections. The operating procedure for setting the packer is: the plugger is sent into the well by a steel wire → the plugger sits on the ball seat to form a seal → the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the plugger is pressed → the plugger is pulled out. This ball seat can only withstand positive pressure to complete the sealing of the packer, but cannot achieve temporary sealing of the tubing. Therefore, a ball seat is needed that can not only throw in a plugging and sealing packer, but also close and open the branch well by inserting a matching lock core plug;

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a temporary plugging tool for oil pipes, which can seal a packer by setting a plug, and can also shut down a well or test a production oil pipe by setting a plug, so as to achieve a pressure difference between the upper and lower parts, temporarily seal the pipe column, have an internal spraying function, and seal a packer.

[0007] The blocking structure includes a hollow cylindrical lock core, a balance rod inserted into the lock core, and a plug installed at the lower part of the lock core; the balance rod passes through the lock core by shocking downward and corresponds to the balance hole opened on the side wall of the plug.

[0008] The plug that matches the lock core can withstand pressure in both directions, and current experimental tests have shown that it can withstand a pressure of 7500PSI at a high temperature of 177°C.

[0009] The inner wall of the sleeve is uniform and polished, so that the blocking structure can pass smoothly without being damaged.

[0012] The temporary oil pipe plugging tool is an integral locking groove structure.

[0013] The balance rod is in contact with the side wall of the plug and a sealing ring is provided.

[0014] A steel wire is arranged on the upper end of the balance rod, and the balance rod is placed in the sleeve position through the steel wire.

[0015] The steel wire connected running tool jars the balance bar downwards, causing the balance bar to move downwards and close the balance hole, and then continues to jar the running tool to release it, thus completing temporary plugging in the oil pipe.

[0016] A gap is left between the plug and the sleeve so that liquid can flow in from the balance hole after the balance rod is removed.

[0017] The utility model proposes a temporary plugging tool for oil pipes, including: a casing at a predetermined plugging position underground and a plugging structure inside the casing; including a groove and a bottom step. The groove is used in conjunction with a lock core, and the bottom step has a stop function, so that the lock core and the plug are both stopped, and the bottom is not over-reaching, and the plug is sealed here. Due to the implementation of the above technical scheme, the present application can realize the secondary sealing of the packer, avoiding the unstable factor of the ball seat being knocked down prematurely during use, and at the same time can temporarily block the pipe string, conduct pipe string leak detection and non-pressure well rectification or replace the wellhead.
