Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil pipe heads, in particular to a high-temperature metal sealed oil pipe head. Background Art

Especially in deep well drilling, the underground temperature will be very high. The use of high-temperature metal sealed tubing heads can work in such extreme environments and maintain structural stability and sealing performance. In the oilfield drilling process, high-temperature metal sealed tubing heads are used to connect drilling equipment such as drill pipes, pipe strings, and drill bits to ensure that drilling fluids, oil and gas and other media will not leak to the surface or underground during the drilling process, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation and environmental protection;

[0004] The above patent mentioned that the packing component of the high-temperature metal-sealed oil pipe head in the patent uses raw graphite packing. Under high temperature, high pressure and frequent operation environment, the raw graphite packing is prone to wear and fatigue after long-term use. The packing is prone to rapid wear, resulting in leakage or failure. In addition, the raw graphite packing is prone to friction and wear when in contact with the metal-sealed oil pipe head. Especially under high temperature conditions, the packing may bond and rub against the metal surface, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance. Therefore, we proposed a high-temperature metal-sealed oil pipe head. Utility Model Content

[0017] In specific implementation, according to Figure 1-Figure 3When drilling operations are required, the top screw 2 is rotated. One end of the top screw 2 is pressed against the top screw loading surface 3011 of the support ring 301, so that the support ring 301 slides on the outside of the tubing hanger 101, and the matching conical surface 3012 of the support ring 301 is docked with the inner conical groove 3031 of the metal sealing ring 303.
