Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to operations on a horizontal well, in particular to a wellhead pipe hanging telescopic device for a horizontal well. Background Art

[0002] Due to the technical requirements, horizontal wells need to be handed over to the oil production process after the drilling process is completed. During the oil production process, the pressure of the horizontal production section is greater than the wellbore pressure. In order to prevent well kicks and blowouts, a long-term packer is set below the oil well deflection point and above the horizontal production section to block the horizontal production section and the wellbore for sealing and production processes. When the center cannula of the packer carried by the lower part of the production string is inserted into the packer, the passage between the horizontal production section and the wellbore is opened. At this time, the pressure of the liquid gushing out of the horizontal production section is about 20 MPa, which will overflow to the wellhead within 3 minutes. During this period of time, the upper and lower flanges of the wellhead must be quickly closed to achieve the purpose of sealing. If the upper and lower flanges are greater than 10 to 35 cm due to the telescopic properties of the well string, calculation errors, etc., the upper and lower flanges must be tightened with wellhead screws to close them. If the upper and lower flanges of the wellhead cannot be closed within 3 minutes, well kicks and blowouts will occur, causing oil and gas pollution on the working surface, increasing the risk of fire and toxic and harmful gas damage.
