Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cementing tools, and in particular relates to a casing anti-corrosion ball stabilizer. Background Art
[0002] At present, due to the increase in horizontal wells in drilling construction, and the long horizontal sections, some of which even reach more than 1,600 meters, when performing downhole casing operations, due to the long horizontal section, the casing encounters greater resistance during the lowering process, which often leads to the casing not being able to smoothly lower to the bottom of the well, especially in the last few hundred meters, the casing is easy to get stuck. The traditional method uses a mechanical method of smashing to help the casing lower, but this method has great safety hazards and is easy to damage the casing or the well wall. Sometimes this method cannot completely smash the casing to the bottom of the well. The existing technology uses stabilizers to effectively solve the problem of casing lowering. It can reduce the friction of the casing and improve the centering of the casing, and is widely used on site.
[0003] The ball stabilizer (centralizer) solves the problem of high friction resistance in the long horizontal section of shale gas well. It also plays a good role in the smooth lowering of the casing in the ultra-long horizontal section in combination with the rotating casing. It has a good application in deep shale gas wells. In the existing technology, most ball stabilizers simply solve the problems of maintaining a certain settling degree of the casing in the well and reducing friction resistance during the casing lowering process. The well completion casing generally takes several decades or longer to be lowered into the well, but acidic gas or other corrosive gases are often produced in the formation. The casing is easily corroded by the acidic gas or other corrosive gas, resulting in a reduced service life of the casing. Utility Model Content

The active metal body is loaded into the inner hollow groove through the charging port, and the active metal body in the inner hollow groove can contact with oil and gas, so that the active metal body, the casing and the oil and gas form a primary battery. The active metal body is consumed by oxidation reaction as an anode, and the protected casing can be used as a cathode to avoid corrosion. Since the active metal body is loaded into the inner hollow groove through the charging port, different active metal bodies can be selected according to different environmental needs, which is more flexible and convenient to use.
[0024] The utility model optimizes the structure of the existing ball stabilizer, and ingeniously implants the active metal body into the stabilizer body 1, which not only ensures the advantages of the existing ball stabilizer, but also increases the function of the ball stabilizer, and uses the electrochemical effect to protect the casing, thereby extending the service life of the oil layer casing. The utility model not only meets the need for the smooth lowering of the casing of the shale gas long horizontal well, but also avoids the corrosion of the casing, and the casing is effectively protected, greatly extending the service life of the casing.
