Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of CCUS, in particular to a multifunctional gas injection string. Background Art

[0002] CCUS will capture and purify the carbon dioxide emitted during the production process, and then put it into a new production process for reuse and storage. The most commonly used storage technology currently is to inject the collected carbon dioxide back into the ground through carbon dioxide reinjection wells.

[0003] Carbon dioxide reinjection wells are quite different from conventional natural gas reinjection wells, with the following main features:

[0004] (1) Carbon dioxide reinjection wells are generally abandoned oil and gas wells that are reused. Their casings are not corrosion-resistant, so the airtightness of the entire injection string is required to be high. The fewer leakage risk points, the better.

[0005] (2) Carbon dioxide reinjection only requires injection and does not require production. To ensure the safety of the tubing, the entire tubing must have a one-way injection feature, that is, the underground gas will not flow back to the ground.

[0006] At present, our conventional natural gas production and completion strings are all lowered by oil pipes, which are connected by threads, and there is a risk of leakage at the connection. At the same time, conventional natural gas production strings are all for the purpose of production, so they do not have the function of one-way injection. Utility Model Content

[0010] After the tubing string is lowered, a soluble ball is dropped from the wellhead. When the soluble ball reaches the constant pressure ball seat, the oil pipe is pressurized from the wellhead until the shear pin is cut off. The packer is sealed after the pump pressure drops instantly. At this time, the one-way switch valve opens the one-way passage function.

[0011] Preferably, the baffle valve includes a baffle valve body, a rotating pin, a closing spring and a baffle, the baffle valve body is a tubular hollow structure, the insert tube can be inserted into the hollow cavity of the baffle valve body, the side wall of the baffle valve body is provided with a baffle mounting port, and the baffle is arranged in the baffle mounting port through a rotating pin and a closing spring.

[0014] Preferably, after the tubing string is lowered, a soluble ball is dropped from the wellhead. When the soluble ball reaches the constant pressure ball seat, the oil pipe is pressurized from the wellhead until the shear pin is sheared off. The pump pressure drops instantly and the sealing of the packer is completed. At this time, the one-way switch valve opens the one-way passage function.

[0015] Preferably, when it is necessary to remove the tubing string, the gravity of the weighted rod is used to press down the upper tubing string of the insert, so that the slider on the packer switches from the second reversing groove to the first reversing groove, and then the continuous oil pipe is directly lifted up to achieve the removal of the upper tubing string; after removal, the baffle of the baffle valve is automatically closed under the action of the closing spring, so that the bottom fluid is sealed at the bottom, forming a double insurance closed reservoir function with the one-way switch valve.

[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are:

[0017] (1) The utility model packer is put into the pipe string by continuous tubing, without threaded connection, with few leakage risk points and high reliability;

[0018] (2) The entire tool string is run through the coiled tubing without repeated make-up, and can be run directly through the coiled tubing operation vehicle, which has high operation efficiency;
