Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil drilling and workover, in particular to an oil casing centralizer for downhole drilling and workover. Background Technique
[0002] All along, after the completion of the drilling and workover operation, the last step is to run the casing. In the construction applications over the years, the equipment is designed with an independently installed casing centralizing platform. When running the casing, workers operate at high altitude to cooperate with the driller to suspend and centralize the casing with the traveling block. When the male thread of the casing is aligned with the female thread and enters the female thread boring hole, there is a relatively large suspension weight. The operators on the centralizing platform cannot move it. Moreover, due to the heavy weight and large outer diameter of the casing, the workers can only centralize the casing back and forth when it is in a suspended state, and cannot effectively centralize it left and right. In recent years, with the continuous increase of the drilling depth, the diameter of the surface casing is larger, and the overall drilling equipment is wider. The workers at high altitude cannot effectively centralize the casing, resulting in frequent occurrences of casing threading misalignment events. In addition, the labor intensity of the workers is high and the work efficiency is low, leading to downhole complexity and great safety risks. According to statistics, the number of casing threading misalignment events has been increasing in recent years, causing large losses. The occurrence of these events has to consider the research and application of equipment technology. In order to reduce safety risks and labor intensity and improve work efficiency, an oil casing centralizer for downhole drilling and workover is provided. Content of the Utility Model
