DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, a water plugging sliding sleeve of the present utility model includes an upper joint 1, an outer cylinder 2, and a lower joint 8 arranged from top to bottom. The inner wall of the upper end of the outer cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the upper joint 1, and the inner wall of the lower end of the outer cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the lower joint 8. A setting ball seat 11 is sleeved inside the outer cylinder 2, and a shear screw 3 is arranged between the setting ball seat 11 and the outer cylinder 2. The setting ball seat 11 can cooperate with a soluble ball 9 or a ball rod assembly 10 to block the internal passage of the setting ball seat 11. A plurality of through-flow holes that cooperate with the setting ball seat 11 are arranged along the circumferential direction on the side wall of the outer cylinder 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the setting ball seat 11 includes an upper part 4 of the ball seat, a lower part 6 of the ball seat, and a ball seat lock ring 5. The outer side wall of the upper part 4 of the ball seat cooperates with the through-flow holes to open or block the through-flow holes. A shear screw 3 is arranged between the outer side wall of the upper part 4 of the ball seat and the outer cylinder 2. A ball seat lock ring 5 that cooperates with the ball rod assembly 10 is arranged on the inner side wall of the upper part 4 of the ball seat. The lower end of the upper part 4 of the ball seat is threadedly connected to the upper end of the lower part 6 of the ball seat.

[0024] Combined with Figure 2 As described above, a through hole that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom and cooperates with the soluble ball 9 is arranged inside the upper part 4 of the ball seat.

[0025] In this embodiment, a sliding sleeve lock ring 7 that cooperates with the lower part 6 of the ball seat is arranged on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2. By setting the inner wall of the sliding sleeve lock ring 7 to have a cut, the cut design can be compressed and opened, and a cut that cooperates with the inner wall of the sliding sleeve lock ring 7 is arranged on the outer wall of the lower part 6 of the ball seat, so as to be able to lock the lower part 6 of the ball seat and the sliding sleeve lock ring 7, making the setting ball seat 11 unable to retract and only able to move downward and be limited.

[0026] Combined with Figures 3-4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the ball rod assembly 10 includes a ball rod upper joint 101, a ball rod sealing ring 102, and a ball rod guiding head 103. The lower end of the ball rod upper joint 101 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the ball rod guiding head 103. A ball rod sealing ring 102 for blocking the internal passage of the setting ball seat 11 is arranged between the ball rod upper joint 101 and the ball rod guiding head 103. By arranging serrated threads on the inner wall of the ball seat lock ring 5, and a serrated thread that cooperates with the inner wall of the ball seat lock ring 5 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the ball rod guiding head 103, the ball seat lock ring 5 and the ball rod guiding head 103 can be locked, making the ball rod assembly 10 unable to retract and positioning and sealing in this state.

[0027] Combined with Figure 5As shown, the upper packer and the lower packer are respectively connected and installed with the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 8 of the sliding sleeve 100, and then connected to the tubing. As the tubing is lowered into the casing, when it reaches the predetermined position, the wellhead is closed. Then, a setting ball matching the bottom of the pipe string is thrown into the wellhead. Then, a pump truck is used to pressurize and set the two packers. After the packers are completely set, continue to pressurize to knock down the setting ball into the bottom of the well. At this time, the upper gas layer 12 can be acidified or sand fracturing can be carried out. After the construction of the upper gas layer 12 is completed, a soluble ball 9 matching the sliding sleeve 100 is thrown from the wellhead. After building pressure, the sliding sleeve 100 is opened, and then acidification or sand fracturing construction can be carried out on the lower gas layer 13. After the construction of the lower gas layer 13 is completed, the soluble receiving ball 9 is dissolved, and then commingled production of the upper gas layer 12 and the lower gas layer 13 can be carried out. During the construction process or in the later stage of construction, the lower gas layer 13 may produce water. Once the gas well produces water, drainage or water plugging operations must be carried out to avoid affecting the production of the upper gas layer 12. At this time, a ball rod assembly 10 matching the sliding sleeve 100 can be thrown from the wellhead and locked inside the setting ball seat 11 of the sliding sleeve 100 through pumping. At this time, the sliding sleeve 100 can block the lower water-producing layer (lower gas layer 13), thus not affecting the production of the upper gas layer 12.

[0028] It should be noted that the description of the above technical solution is exemplary. This specification can be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the technical solutions described herein. On the contrary, providing these descriptions will make the disclosure of the present utility model thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope disclosed in this specification to those skilled in the art. In addition, the technical solutions of the present utility model are only limited by the scope of the claims.

[0029] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only relatively representative examples of the present utility model. Obviously, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and there can be many variations. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model should be considered as belonging to the protection scope of the present utility model.
