[0002] During the exploitation process of an oil well, after the oil well casing is perforated, a fracturing operation is required. The traditional fracturing operation is to inject a large amount of high-pressure well fluid into the oil layer through a high-pressure pump. The pressure of these fluids is sufficient to open or expand the rock fractures. When the fractures are large enough, proppants are added to keep the fractures open. In this way, the crude oil in the oil layer can flow more freely into the wellbore. However, when using high-pressure well fluid for fracturing operations, sometimes the high-pressure well fluid cannot effectively open the fractures, which increases the resistance for the crude oil to pass through, results in poor permeability of the crude oil, and leads to a reduction in oil production. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, the utility model aims to provide a composite energy-releasing fracturing plugging device to solve the problem that when using high-pressure well fluid for traditional fracturing operations, sometimes the high-pressure well fluid cannot effectively open the fractures, which increases the resistance for the crude oil to pass through, results in poor permeability of the crude oil, and leads to a reduction in oil production.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: A composite energy-releasing fracturing plugging device, which includes a screen pipe gun, a gun head, a gun tail, a cartridge, and a non-explosive igniter.

[0006] Furthermore, the internal thread at the lower end of the gun head is connected to the external thread at the upper end of the cartridge. The external thread at the lower end of the gun head is connected to the internal thread at the upper end of the screen pipe gun. A upper sealing ring is sleeved at the threaded connection between the gun head and the cartridge.

[0007] Furthermore, upper and lower end caps are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the cartridge.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the power cord is connected to the resistance wire, and the other end passes through the cartridge, the upper end cap, and the gun head in sequence and extends to the outside.

[0009] Further, the external thread of the lower head is connected to the internal thread at the lower end of the cartridge, and a lower sealing ring is sleeved at the threaded connection between the lower head and the cartridge.

Detailed implementation mode

[0022] The following will clearly and completely elaborate on the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and the features in the embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

The igniter outer cylinder is arranged at the bottom of the cartridge 3. The resistance wire 15 is arranged in the igniter outer cylinder and is connected to the power cord 11. The primary fuel 6 is arranged in the igniter outer cylinder.

[0025] In this embodiment, the internal thread at the lower end of the gun head 1 is connected to the external thread at the upper end of the cartridge 3. The external thread at the lower end of the gun head 1 is connected to the internal thread at the upper end of the screen pipe gun 4. A upper sealing ring 2 is sleeved at the threaded connection between the gun head 1 and the cartridge 3. The upper sealing ring 2 is used to ensure the sealing between the gun head 1 and the cartridge 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, both the cartridge 3 and the igniter outer cylinder are made of non - metallic materials.

[0027] After perforating the oil well casing, it is necessary to perform pressure cracking and plugging removal on the perforation channels. In this embodiment, the composite energy-releasing pressure cracking and plugging removal device is lowered into the well by a cable and hovers at a position corresponding to the perforation section. Ground operation transmits current to the non-explosive igniter 5 in the downhole composite energy-releasing pressure cracking and plugging removal device through the cable and the power line 11. The resistance wire 15 in the non-explosive igniter 5 generates a high heat point through the current to ignite the primary fuel in the igniter outer cylinder. The burning primary fuel 6 directly ignites the secondary fuel 14 in the cartridge 3 after passing through the non-metallic structure of the igniter outer cylinder. The secondary fuel 14 burns to generate high-temperature and high-pressure flame gas to burn through the non-metallic cartridge 3. The high-pressure gas is released into the casing annulus through the screen pipe gun 4 to generate a high-pressure impact on the well fluid in the casing annulus. The high-pressure well fluid enters the perforation channels for pressure cracking and plugging removal.

[0028] In this embodiment, upper and lower end caps 13 and 7 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the cartridge 3. The upper end cap 13 and the lower end cap 7 are used to seal and block both ends of the cartridge 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, one end of the power line 11 is connected to the resistance wire 15, and the other end sequentially passes through the cartridge 3, the upper end cap 13, and the gun head 1 and extends to the outside. In this embodiment, the power line 11 is two wires led out from inside the non-explosive igniter 5. One of them is tied to the inner hole wall of the upper end of the gun head 1 to be grounded, and the other is led out and contacts the cable connector. Power is supplied to the downhole through the cable from the ground.

[0030] In this embodiment, the external thread of the lower end cap 7 is connected to the internal thread at the lower end of the cartridge 3. A lower sealing ring 8 is sleeved at the threaded connection between the lower end cap 7 and the cartridge 3.

In this device, the pressure gauge device 12 is used to monitor the gas pressure in the fracturing gun in real time and accurately control the fracturing pressure, which can maximize the length and width of the fracture, thereby increasing the oil and gas production. The pressure gauge provides the necessary data for engineers to adjust the fracturing process to obtain the best results and ensures the safety and effectiveness of the fracturing operation.
