AI Technical Summary
In multi-layer intelligent completion of electric pump production wells, the existing technology cannot realize the sliding sleeve switch through wire operation or continuous oil pipe operation, and cannot realize the sliding sleeve switch through pipe column pressurization. Especially in multi-layer completion environments, there is a lack of a sliding sleeve structure that does not rely on wire operation and pipe column pressurization, and selectable switches at different levels cannot be achieved.
A hydraulically controlled downhole distribution tool is designed, including upper joint, middle joint, mandrel, hydraulic control body, liquid inlet joint and lower joint. Through the design of hydraulic control body and liquid inlet joint, the hydraulic control channel and stop mechanism are used to realize the switching action of the mandrel, and the channels of different layers are selectively pressurized through the ground control equipment to realize the recovery or injection of the oil and gas layer.
In a multi-layer intelligent completion environment, selectable switch of the sliding sleeve is realized through hydraulic control, avoiding the limitations of wire operation and column pressurization, improving the flexibility and controllability of downhole tools. At the same time, the stop mechanism prevents the hydraulically controlled pipeline joints from loosening, ensuring the stability and safety of the tool.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent well completion for oil and gas field development, in particular to a hydraulically controlled downhole separate production and injection tool. Background Art
[0002] In oil and gas well completion operations, the sliding sleeve provides a connecting channel between the tubing and the annulus for fluid circulation, stratified production or injection, and is a flow control tool.
[0003] The switch sleeves currently used are mechanical switch sleeves or hydraulic sleeves. Mechanical switch sleeves need to be opened and closed by wireline operation or continuous tubing operation. During the operation, a special tool string needs to be lowered into the pipe column for mechanical or hydraulic shock operation. Hydraulic sleeves have one-time opening or closing sleeves, which are pressurized by the pipe column to achieve a one-time action. Another type of repeated opening and closing sleeve can be opened or closed by pressurizing the oil pipe or casing, and automatically returns to its position after pressure relief. Alternatively, the opening and closing of the sleeve can be achieved by re-pressurizing by lowering a special tool.
[0004] In the multi-layer intelligent completion of electric pump production wells, due to the existence of electric pumps, the opening and closing of the sliding sleeve cannot be achieved through wireline operations or continuous tubing operations; nor can the opening and closing of the sliding sleeve be achieved by running special tools and pressurizing the tubing. At the same time, most intelligent completions are multi-layer completions, requiring multiple sliding sleeves to be used in series. At present, there is no sliding sleeve structure that can open or close different layers without wireline operations (or continuous tubing operations) and without relying on pressurization in the tubing.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a hydraulically controlled downhole production and injection tool comprises an upper joint 1, a middle joint 2, a core shaft 3, a hydraulic control body 4, a liquid inlet joint 5 and a lower joint 6, wherein the upper joint 1, the middle joint 2, the hydraulic control body 4, the liquid inlet joint 5 and the lower joint 6 are all sleeved on the core shaft 3, and the upper joint 1, the middle joint 2, the hydraulic control body 4, the liquid inlet joint 5 and the lower joint 6 are sealed and fixedly connected in sequence to form a sealing cylinder, the core shaft 3 is arranged in a piston cylinder to form a piston, a plurality of liquid inlet holes are provided on an outer wall of the core shaft 3 near the lower joint 6, and a plurality of liquid inlet channels 9 for matching the liquid inlet holes are provided on the liquid inlet joint 5, at least two liquid control channels are provided on the eccentric side of the hydraulic control body 4, and both ends of the liquid control channel are provided with a stop mechanism for preventing the joint of the liquid control pipeline from loosening;
[0024] Among them, when the piston moves to the point where the liquid inlet channel 9 on the liquid inlet connector 5 is connected to the liquid inlet hole on the core shaft 3, the switch tool is in the open state; when the piston moves to the point where the vertical groove of the piston cylinder and the vertical groove of the piston are not connected, the switch tool is in the closed state.
[0025] For example, two hydraulic control pipelines are used to control the switch of the tool, and the tool is pressurized through the ground control equipment. The core shaft 3 is opened upward and closed downward by pressure control, thereby realizing selective recovery or injection of oil and gas layers. Multiple tools can be used at the same time, and the number of hydraulic control pipelines is N+1. At the same time, a stop mechanism is designed to effectively protect the hydraulic control pipelines to avoid loosening of the hydraulic control pipeline joints. Mechanical switch positioning mechanisms are designed on the upper and lower parts of the core shaft 3. When the switch of the hydraulic control tool fails, the matching mechanical switch tool can be lowered through the oil pipe and positioned on the positioning mechanism on the upper and lower parts of the core shaft 3, and forced opening and closing can be performed by lifting and lowering the continuous oil pipe.
[0026] As an optional embodiment, the interior of the upper joint 1 is provided with a first limiting portion for the core shaft 3 to abut against after sliding a certain distance, and the interior of the lower joint 6 is provided with a second limiting portion for the core shaft 3 to abut against after sliding a certain distance. When the core shaft 3 abuts against the first limiting portion, the liquid inlet channel 9 on the liquid inlet joint 5 and the liquid inlet hole on the core shaft 3 are connected.

[0028] As an optional embodiment, a guiding slope is provided at one end of the guard plate 12 away from the hydraulic control channel.
[0029] For example, the hydraulic control body 4 is designed to be eccentric, and a hydraulic control pipeline or armored cable bypass channel 11 is reserved on the eccentric side to provide a crossing channel for the lower-level tools to connect the hydraulic control pipeline; the bypass channel 11 has a guard plate 12 for protecting the hydraulic control pipeline or cable, and one end of the guard plate 12 is set as a guide slope, so that the hydraulic control pipeline or cable is in a protected state when lowering or lifting, thereby preventing the hydraulic control pipeline or cable from being worn.
[0030] As an optional embodiment, a plurality of pipeline channels 10 arranged alternately with the liquid inlet channels 9 are provided on the outer wall of the liquid inlet connector 5 .
[0031] For example, the liquid inlet channels 9 and the pipeline channels 10 distributed in the circumferential direction of the liquid inlet joint 5 are staggered, and the hydraulic control pipelines or cables do not interfere with the liquid inlet channels 9, and will not cause erosion to the hydraulic control pipelines or cables during sampling or injection.
[0032] As an optional embodiment, the stopping mechanism includes a stopping bolt 8 and two stopping gaskets 7, each of the stopping gaskets 7 is provided with a polygonal through hole at one end and a waist-shaped through hole at the other end, each of the polygonal through holes is fixed at the hydraulic control channel through a joint of the hydraulic control pipeline, and each of the waist-shaped through holes overlaps with each other and is fixed to the hydraulic control body 4 through the stopping bolt 8.
[0033] For example, the cooperation between the stop gasket 7 and the stop bolt 8 can effectively prevent the joint of the hydraulic control pipeline from loosening due to vibration, thereby preventing the joint seal of the hydraulic control pipeline from failing.
[0034] A person skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention is limited to these examples; under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may also be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.
