Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil and natural gas drilling, and in particular relates to a device which can fish out fish dropped by drilling tools in a wellbore of special size. Background Art

[0002] As the exploration of oil and gas resources gradually develops deeper into the formation, deep wells and ultra-deep wells are gradually increasing, and the depth of the wellbore structure of the upper large-size wellbore (greater than φ241mm) is gradually extended. Due to the loose lithology, poor cementation, and good permeability of the formation in this section of the well, the well wall is unstable and collapsed; and due to the leakage of the drilling tool, short-circuit circulation occurs, and the drilling fluid pierces the well wall through the leakage point, resulting in irregular wellbore and enlarged wellbore diameter (the actual wellbore diameter is greater than the drill bit diameter by 20% or more), that is, a special size wellbore. When a drilling tool accident occurs in such a wellbore, in order to reduce losses, it is necessary to implement salvage operations to salvage as many fish as possible.

[0003] Fish fall refers to the drill pipe, drill collar, drill bit, oil pipe, sucker rod, salvage tools and instruments that fall into the well due to various reasons (such as accidents, equipment failures, etc.). The top of the fish fall is called the fish head, the bottom of the fish fall is called the fish tail, and the length of the fish fall is called the fish length.

[0004] In the prior art, the conventional processing methods have the following problems:

[0005] 1. Due to the large annular gap between the fish head and the special-sized wellbore and the fish not being centered, the existing fishing tools can find the fish head position, but cannot effectively lead the fish into the fishing tools. The fishing tools will step over the fish head as they are lowered. In addition, the wellbore wall is scourred and scraped by the long-term pumping and rotary fishing, causing the wellbore size at the fish head to further expand, and even causing the fish head to lean against the side and be squeezed into the well wall, resulting in the collapse of the well wall, resulting in falling blocks or sand settling to bury the fish and jam the drill.

[0006] 2. Salvage drill assembly with bent drill pipe: Due to its insufficient rigidity, the salvage drill assembly is too flexible. When the fish head is pushed, the drill tool on the bent drill pipe receives the opposite force, pushing it against the well wall in the opposite direction, causing the salvage tool to move in the opposite direction. As a result, the salvage tool can occasionally find the fish head, but it easily goes over the fish head when it is pushed, and cannot enter (slip into) the fish head, resulting in salvage failure;

[0007] 3. Snap-on drill bit assembly with bent joint: Compared with bent drill pipe, bent joint can make the lower drill bit or tool deviate to a certain extent at the same well depth and in different directions. It has the characteristics of high strength and high rigidity, relatively fixed angle and little influence by external conditions. However, due to the large gap between the upper drill bit in the casing and the casing annulus, and unable to provide effective support for the lower salvage drill bit, even if it can touch the fish head, it is difficult to keep the lower salvage tool continuously facing the specified direction because the drill bit with a large gap with the upper annulus absorbs the reverse torque caused by the elastic load of the bent joint, thus causing the fish head to be stepped over, resulting in salvage failure.

[0008] In summary, the treatment methods in the prior art have poor effects, increase the number of trips and drills and the time it takes for the fish to remain stationary, miss the best time to salvage, increase the difficulty of treatment, and even cause the wellbore to be scrapped due to treatment failure and side drilling. Utility Model Content

[0009] Based on the above technical background, the utility model provides a fish salvage device for a wellbore of special size, which can not only effectively enable the salvage tool to smoothly insert the fish in the wellbore of special size, but also effectively salvage the fish, shortening the accident handling cycle, thereby avoiding the problem of poor salvage effect in the prior art and long accident handling time, resulting in wellbore scrapping, and effectively reducing the economic losses caused by well filling and side drilling.

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0011] A fish salvage device for a wellbore of a special size comprises a salvage tool, a first drill collar, a bent joint, a second drill collar, a stabilizer and a drill pipe, wherein the salvage tool, the first drill collar, the bent joint, the second drill collar, the stabilizer and the drill pipe are connected end to end in sequence, the maximum outer diameter of the salvage tool is 10 mm or more smaller than the size of the drill bit used, the outer diameter of the first drill collar is 10 mm or more smaller than the size of the drill bit used, the outer diameter of the bent joint is the same as the outer diameter of the first drill collar, the outer diameter of the second drill collar is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the first drill collar, the weight of the second drill collar is greater than the pressurized weight required for salvaging the fish, and the outer diameter of the stabilizer is 10-15 mm smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the salvage tool.

[0012] The salvaging tool is a female cone for salvaging the outside of the fish head, and the female cone is connected to the first drill collar through a double-hook safety joint.

[0013] The salvaging tool is a slip salvage tube for salvaging the outside of the fish head.

[0014] The salvaging tool is a male cone for salvaging the water eye of the fish head, and the male cone is connected to the first drill collar through a double-hook safety joint.

[0015] A drilling tool check valve is arranged on the upper part of the fishing tool, and the drilling tool check valve serves as an internal blowout prevention tool when there is a gas measurement display.

[0016] The eccentric angle of the bent joint is 1.5°, 2°, 2.5° or 2.75°, so as to generate a stable offset when salvaging fallen fish.

[0017] A drilling jar is arranged between the bent joint and the connection point of the second drill collar. If the fish is caught and stuck, the jar can be activated to jar and release the stuck fish.

[0018] A drill rod is arranged between the second drill collar and the lower part of the centralizer, so that the centralizer is located inside the casing, which reduces the lateral force generated by itself during the salvage process and prevents the casing shoe from being damaged and deformed.

[0019] The length between the centralizer and the fishing tool is greater than the length of the casing in the wellbore. Before the centralizer is connected, the fishing tool must be out of the casing and into the open hole.

[0020] The component connections of the fish salvaging device are provided with variable buckle joints, and components with matching buckle types are selected as much as possible to reduce the access of variable buckle joints and avoid increasing the weak points of the entire salvaging combination.

[0021] A guide shoe is arranged outside the fishing tool, and the size of the guide shoe is smaller than the size of the drill bit used by 10 mm or more.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0023] 1. The utility model can not only effectively enable the salvage tool to smoothly insert the fish in the wellbore of special size, but also effectively salvage the fish, shortening the accident handling cycle, thereby avoiding the problem of poor salvage effect and long accident handling time in the prior art, resulting in the wellbore being scrapped, and effectively reducing the economic losses caused by well filling and side drilling.

[0024] 2. In the utility model, a directional drilling tool is introduced into the salvage operation of fish in the well. With the help of the offset of the bent joint, the salvage tool can be directed to the specified tool surface. Compared with the bent drill pipe, it has the characteristics of high strength and high rigidity, fixed angle, and little influence by external conditions. It effectively solves the problem that the head of the fish is in a wellbore of special size and is difficult to capture.

[0025] 3. In the utility model, a centralizer is added to the salvage drill tool assembly to increase the rigidity of the salvage drill tool, reduce the lateral force generated by the salvage drill tool itself during the salvage process, provide effective centralizing and supporting effects for the lower salvage drill tool, and effectively solve the problem that the reverse torque caused by the elastic load of the bent joint absorbed by the drill tool with a large upper annular space gap, so it is particularly difficult to keep the lower salvage tool continuously facing the specified direction, thereby causing the fish head to be stepped over and causing the salvage failure.
