[0023] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of the present utility model, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, a casing positioning device for downhole operations comprises: a casing positioning body 1, the casing positioning body 1 is tubular, and at least two supporting structures 2 are arranged on the outer wall of the casing positioning body 1, all of the supporting structures 2 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the casing positioning body 1, the supporting structures 2 are vertically arranged along the length direction of the casing positioning body 1, and two of the supporting structures 2 and the outer wall of the casing positioning body 1 form supporting grooves 21; a bracket structure 3, the bracket structure 3 is transversely arranged along the outer diameter of the casing positioning body 1, the two ends of the bracket structure 3 are respectively connected to the side walls of the two supporting structures 2, and the end face of the bracket structure 3 is provided with a guide groove 31, when the casing positioning body 1 enters the well wall, the supporting groove 21 and the guide groove 31 provide a channel for mud.

[0025] The specific implementation process of this device is as follows: the casing positioning body 1 is sleeved on the casing, and the casing positioning body 1 positions the casing, solving the problem that the existing positioner is bent and cannot position the casing. The support structure 2 can not only smoothly enter the well wall with the casing, but also play a role in centering the casing. The support structure 3 is transversely arranged in the middle of the casing positioning body 1 along the outer diameter of the casing positioning body 1. The support structure 3 improves the overall bearing capacity of the casing positioning body 1. The end face of the support structure 3 is provided with a guide groove 31. The guide groove 31 generates a swirl flow on the mud on the well wall, reducing the resistance of the casing positioning body 1 entering the well wall.

[0026] In the present invention, the guide groove 31 is a rectangular structure, which is beneficial to the drainage of mud in the well wall.

[0027] In order to clarify the specific setting of the guide groove 31, a plurality of the guide grooves 31 are evenly opened on the support structure 3, and the plurality of the guide grooves 31 are arranged in a circular array, and the axis of the plurality of the guide grooves 31 and the axis of the support structure 2 are located on the same axis.

[0028] Since the support structure 3 in this structure needs to reduce the resistance of the casing positioning body 1 entering the well wall: the thickness of the support structure 3 is smaller than the thickness of the support structure 2.

[0029] Other configurations of the guide groove 31: The cross section of the guide groove 31 is "V"-shaped or "U"-shaped. Both the "V"-shaped configuration and the "U"-shaped configuration can stably withstand the mud pressure and reduce the resistance of the mud flow.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the end surface of the support structure 2 is provided with a rolling groove, and a sand reducing and blocking structure 4 is arranged in the rolling groove. When the sand reducing and blocking structure 4 contacts the well wall, the casing positioning body 1 moves up and down along the well wall through the sand reducing and blocking structure 4. The setting of the sand reducing and blocking structure 4 reduces the friction resistance of the casing positioning body 1 and the casing entering the well wall.

[0031] In the present invention, a positioning groove is provided in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the sleeve positioning body 1, a sealing ring 11 is provided in the positioning groove, the sealing ring 11 is pressed against the sleeve by a sealing fixing member 12, and the sleeve positioning body 1 is fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve by the sealing ring 11. The common arrangement of the sealing ring 11 and the sealing fixing member 12 enables the sleeve positioning body 1 to be fixed on the sleeve, solving the problem that the existing positioner cannot adjust the size so that the sleeve can enter the interior of the sleeve positioning body 1 and the sleeve positioning body 1 can be fixed on the sleeve.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the top and bottom ends of the support structure 2 are both arc-shaped transitions to the end surface of the casing positioning body 1, and both sides of the top surface of the support structure 2 are arc-shaped, and both sides of the top surface transition to both sides of the bottom surface of the support structure 2. In this structure, the middle height of the support structure 2 is the same, and the upper and lower ends of the support structure 2 are arc-shaped transitions to the upper and lower end surfaces of the casing positioning body 1. The end surface and both sides of the top surface of the support structure 2 are set to be arc-shaped to facilitate the casing to enter the well wall. The axis of the support structure 2 and the casing positioning body 1 are usually at an angle of 30°, which reduces the risk of the casing being stuck during the downhole process.

[0033] In order to clarify the specific structure of the support structure 2, the inner wall of the support structure 2 is provided with a support fixing hole, and the sleeve positioning body 1 is provided with a plurality of body fixing holes 13. The fastening screws pass through the body fixing holes 13. The fastening screws are connected to the support fixing holes, and the fastening screws fix the support structure 2 on the sleeve positioning body 1.

[0034] In the present invention, the casing positioning body 1 is made of nylon material. On the one hand, the casing positioning body 1 is made of nylon material, which has certain flexibility. On the other hand, the casing positioning body 1 is made of nylon material, which effectively solves the problem of chemical corrosion of traditional metal casings underground.

[0035] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.

[0036] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
