Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an oil and gas downhole pipe and cable, in particular to an downhole continuous composite pipe and cable with a cable channel at its center. Background Art
[0002] Continuous pipes are required for transportation during the construction of oil and gas production. In order to facilitate the control of underground equipment, it is often necessary to lay cables. Cables arranged inside continuous pipes can greatly reduce damage to the cables.
[0003] Placing the cable inside the underground coiled tubing has the following problems:
[0004] 1. Downhole coiled tubing is usually connected by threaded connection. When the thread is rotated, the internal cables are twisted, causing the cables to become messy and the cable connections to be easily disconnected.
[0005] 2. When the cable is placed inside the underground continuous pipe, there is oil and gas flowing inside the continuous pipe. If the oil and gas are not isolated from the cable, it is difficult to fully ensure the safety of the cable by relying solely on the cable's own protection.
[0006] To solve the above problems, our company designed a coiled tube device with built-in cables in the early stage and applied for patents, such as patent CN210948537U. However, this patent does not completely isolate the cable from the oil and gas, but only relies on the cable's own skin isolation, and the safety performance needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the problems raised by the background technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an underground continuous composite pipe cable with a cable channel at the center to improve the safety of the underground continuous pipe.

[0009] A downhole continuous composite pipe cable with a cable channel at its center, comprising an inner tube and an outer tube sleeved on the outside of the inner tube, wherein both ends of the inner tube are sleeved with pipe joints, and both ends of the outer tube are fixedly connected to the pipe joints, and the pipe joints are annular in structure as a whole, and a plurality of support rods are evenly distributed on the inner hole wall of the pipe joint at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the length direction of the support rods is parallel to the axis of the outer tube, and the plurality of support rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tube; the lumen of the inner tube is a cable channel, and the cable channel has signal cables, power cables and optical fibers; the annular cavity between the inner tube and the outer tube is a liquid channel, and the liquid channel is connected to the outside through the gaps between the plurality of support rods.
[0010] The outer wall of the pipe joint is provided with an external thread and a sealing groove, wherein the external thread is used to connect the external pipe and cable joint, and the sealing groove is used to install a sealing ring to ensure the sealing of the external pipe and cable joint.
[0011] The inner hole wall of the pipe joint is evenly distributed with a plurality of positioning grooves along the circumferential direction, and each positioning groove is correspondingly clamped with a supporting rod.
[0012] The cable channel is provided with a filling layer, and the filling layer is used to fill the gaps between the signal cables, the power cables and the optical fibers.
[0013] The support rod is fixedly welded to the inner tube.
[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model realizes full isolation of the cable from the liquid channel after the cable is built into the underground continuous pipe, and the cable is safer. At the same time, the processing and manufacturing difficulty of each part structure of the utility model is low, the assembly is simple, and the cost is greatly reduced compared with the continuous pipe device designed in the early stage.
