Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field drilling and completion, and particularly relates to an intrinsically safe completion string. Background Art
[0002] In carbonate fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs, the probability of lost circulation during drilling is relatively high, and the lost circulation is likely to deteriorate into a blowout. The safety window is narrow, the oil and gas are active, and there is a lack of means to control the water eye, resulting in extremely high well control risks. For the "three highs" gas wells in ultra-deep condensate gas fields, the oil and gas are active, the completion operation process is complex and time-consuming, and well overflow, lost circulation, and even well collapse are likely to occur. Usually, continuous mud injection is used to maintain the liquid column pressure in the wellbore, thereby ensuring well control safety. However, this method is likely to cause reservoir pollution, and the well control risk cannot be completely eliminated. Summary of the Utility Model

A packer is arranged at the top of the lower support string, a plugging valve is arranged below the packer, the plugging valve is arranged inside the lower support string, a flushing pipeline is arranged at the lower end of the upper completion string, a hydraulic packer is arranged above the flushing pipeline, and the flushing pipeline is inserted into the lower support string so that the lower support string and the upper completion string are connected into one body.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the upper completion string is arranged above the lower support string.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the packer is a hanging packer.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the upper completion string further includes a landing nipple arranged above the hydraulic packer.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, after setting, the packer can cut off the annulus channel, so that the open-hole wellbore is temporarily plugged.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the plugging valve is used to cut off the internal channel of the lower support string.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the plugging valve adopts a POP valve.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the lower support string is provided with a plurality of holes below the plugging valve.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of the holes are uniformly arranged along the extending direction of the lower support string.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the lower support string is configured as an arc surface.
[0014] The utility model has at least the following technical effects:
[0015] According to the utility model, a lower support string and an upper completion string are provided. Since a packer is arranged at the top of the lower support string for isolating the annulus channel after setting, the open-hole wellbore is temporarily plugged. Also, since a blocking valve is arranged below the packer and the blocking valve is arranged inside the lower support string for isolating the internal channel of the lower support string, the fluid displacement channel in the well can be mechanically cut off by the packer and the blocking valve, so as to directly realize the temporary plugging of the reservoir, further ensure well control safety, avoid causing reservoir pollution, and completely avoid well control risks. Also, since a hydraulic packer is arranged above the flushing pipeline for protecting the integrity of the casing and the wellbore during the later production period after setting; and a flushing pipeline is arranged at the lower end of the upper completion string, and the flushing pipeline connects the lower support string and the upper completion string into one body, so that the blocking valve can be flushed through the flushing pipeline to ensure that the valve core of the blocking valve can be knocked down by applying pressure, realizing the smoothness of the oil and gas channel, and thus realizing essential safety completion and reducing mud loss.
