Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of completion devices used in oil fields, and particularly relates to an electromagnetic perforating device for horizontal well completion in oil fields. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the booming exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale gas, tight gas, and coalbed methane, horizontal well drilling and completion technology and hydraulic fracturing technology have together become effective means and sharp tools for developing these unconventional energy sources. It can be said that hydraulic fracturing technology is an important technical guarantee for the stable and increased production of oil and gas resources.
[0003] Hydraulic fracturing activities can cause groundwater pollution. During the fracturing process, fracturing fluid containing a large amount of chemical additives is injected underground, and high pressure is built up to fracture the formation. Therefore, the fracturing fluid will pollute the underground water body. After the oil and gas reservoir rocks are fractured, oil and gas may also flow into the groundwater layer, causing pollution to the groundwater. At the same time, hydraulic fracturing activities may also trigger seismic activities.
[0004] The emergence of electromagnetic shock wave technology is a milestone in the development history of non-contact damage. Currently, electromagnetic shock wave technology has matured. Electromagnetic ejection technology uses the Ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal projectile, so that it reaches the kinetic energy required to strike the target. Compared with the traditional gunpowder fracturing technology, the electromagnetic fracturing device can greatly increase the axial velocity and range of the projectile. At the same time, the axial kinetic energy can be converted into radial inertial force to achieve the fracturing of horizontal wells and complete the energy-saving and production-increasing of well completion. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides an electromagnetic perforating device for horizontal well completion in oil fields. This device solves the pollution and blasting safety problems caused by gunpowder pressure. It uses an electromagnetic launching device to accelerate the excitation projectile. During the high-speed operation process, the excitation projectile contacts the launching plate, and the launching plate transfers the kinetic energy of the excitation projectile to the spring. The spring launches the perforating projectile to achieve prefabricated cracks in the rock and bombards the prefabricated cracks to achieve the maximum range of damage to the rock and soil layer, improve the pollution and safety hazards generated by the fracturing process involving gunpowder, improve the fracturing quality, and promote the application of electromagnetic perforating technology in energy exploitation. This equipment greatly improves the perforating quality and production efficiency, completes the high-energy fracturing process without gunpowder throughout the process, and realizes the concept of energy-saving and environmental protection in exploitation.
[0006] On the basis of the existing technology, the utility model provides an electromagnetic perforating device for horizontal well completion in oil fields, including an electromagnetic launching device, an accelerating coil, and a perforating unit;
[0007] The electromagnetic emission device is connected with a casing, which includes an E section, an F section and an M section connected in sequence. The E section is a horizontal section, connected with the electromagnetic emission device and located above the ground; the F section is a vertical section, the end located above the ground is connected with the E section, and the end located below the ground is connected with the M section; the M section is a horizontal section and is located below the ground.
[0008] Accelerating coils are respectively arranged outside the E section, the F section and the M section.
[0009] A perforating unit is also arranged on the M section, and the area where the perforating unit acts is the fracturing zone.
[0010] The perforating unit is located behind the accelerating coil, that is, after the projectile is accelerated by the accelerating coil, it enters the fracturing zone to make the perforating unit act.
[0011] The perforating unit includes an arc-shaped launching plate. The launching plate is located inside the M section and protrudes radially along the M section to form a launching cavity with the inner side of the M section.
[0012] A spring is arranged in the launching cavity. One end of the spring contacts the launching plate, and the other end abuts against a perforating projectile. Launching holes are arranged on the M section corresponding to the perforating projectiles.
[0013] Preferably, an insulating sleeve is arranged outside the accelerating coil.
[0014] Preferably, a reflector is arranged at the contact position between the F section and the M section. The included angle between the reflector and the horizontal plane is 45-60°; through the arrangement of the reflector, it is ensured that the projectile can accurately enter the M section, reduce the impact of the projectile on the normal direction of the inner wall of the M section, and make the projectile continuously accelerate in the horizontal direction of the M section.
[0015] Preferably, when multiple rock and soil layers need to be fractured, multiple accelerating coils and perforating units are arranged on the M section; after the projectile passes through a fracturing zone, it is accelerated by the accelerating coil again and then enters the range of the perforating unit to make the next perforating unit act.
[0016] Preferably, there are four launching plates. The four launching plates respectively form launching cavities with the M section, and the launching cavities are distributed at 90° on the inner side of the M section; there is a bombardment group in each launching cavity. The bombardment group includes two perforating projectiles. The two perforating projectiles are arranged along the moving direction of the projectile, and each perforating projectile is correspondingly provided with a spring.
[0017] During use, the electromagnetic launching device fixed on the ground ejects the exciting projectile into section E of the casing. After being accelerated by the accelerating coil located inside the insulating sleeve, it enters section F, and is secondarily accelerated by the accelerating coil at the position of section F. The exciting projectile that has been accelerated multiple times performs a high-speed impact motion, impacts on the corner reflector at the intersection of section F and section M, and rushes into section M along the reflection angle. After being accelerated by the accelerating coil in section M, it contacts the launch plate, and the kinetic energy of the exciting projectile is converted into a radial inertial force and transmitted to the launch plate. The launch plate triggers the spring to eject the perforating projectile from the launch cavity, bombarding the fracturing area at high speed, thus realizing the energy-saving and production-increasing process during the fracturing process. During the working process, electromagnetic energy is converted into kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy is converted into a radial inertial force to launch the perforating projectile, realizing the pressure process of prefabricating cracks and bombarding the cracked rock in the fracturing area.
[0018] When the above electromagnetic perforating device is working, the electromagnetic launching device is turned on to eject the circular exciting projectile; the accelerating coil in section E increases the kinetic energy of the exciting projectile entering it, and the exciting projectile continues to move into the vertical section F;
[0019] The accelerating coil in section F secondarily accelerates the exciting projectile. After acceleration, the exciting projectile impacts on the corner reflector under the action of gravitational acceleration and enters section M of the completion horizontal;
[0020] The accelerating coil in section M continues to accelerate the exciting projectile. After acceleration, the exciting projectile impacts on the launch plate, and the kinetic energy is transmitted to the perforating projectile through the launch plate, realizing the radial launch of the perforating projectile;
[0021] According to the calculation based on the length of the casing gun barrel in the fracturing area and the incident velocity of the exciting projectile, the time for the exciting projectile to completely pass through the fracturing area does not exceed 2×10 -7 s, and the time difference between the launches of two perforating projectiles in the same bombardment group is no more than 10 -7 s. The first perforating projectile launched in the bombardment group prefabricates cracks in the rock of the rock and soil layer. After 10 -7 s, the second perforating projectile is launched to bombard the rock of the cracked rock and soil layer, realizing the maximum damage range of the rock and soil layer; after passing through the launch plate, the energy of the exciting projectile is reduced and the speed is decreased. After being accelerated again by the subsequent accelerating coil, the exciting projectile begins to enter the next fracturing area to complete the fracturing.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: by providing an acceleration coil, the excitation projectile can be accelerated to make it have a high-speed impact force; by providing a corner reflector, the movement trajectory of the excitation projectile can be accurately controlled to make it move horizontally at a high speed in a horizontal well, and cooperate with the perforation unit to convert the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic high-speed impact projectile into a radial inertial force, realizing a high-energy oilfield horizontal well fracturing process with no gunpowder, energy-saving, and pollution-free kinetic energy conversion into radial impact. By using the principle of electromagnetic high-speed impact and energy controllability, the purpose of maximizing damage and protecting the rock and soil layer structure is achieved, and there is no pollution to the groundwater resources. This device greatly improves the perforation quality and production efficiency, completes a high-energy rate fracturing process without gunpowder throughout the process, and realizes the concept of energy-saving and environmental protection mining.

Two accelerating coils 2 and one perforating unit are provided on the M section 403; each perforating unit corresponds to 1 fracturing area, that is Figure 1 the fracturing area one and the fracturing area two in ; after the exciting projectile 6 passes through one fracturing area, it is accelerated by the accelerating coil 2 again and then enters the range of the next fracturing area (fracturing area two) to make the perforating unit act;
[0037] A spring 304 is provided in the launching cavity 302. One end of the spring 304 is in contact with the launching plate 301, and the other end of the spring 304 abuts against a perforating projectile 303; a launching hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the M section corresponding to the perforating projectile 303;
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are four emission plates 301. The four emission plates 301 respectively form an emission cavity 302 with the M section 403.
