[0002] In the field of oil and gas drilling and completion, after drilling through the oil and gas layer and casing and cementing, it is necessary to use a perforator to penetrate the casing, cement sheath and oil and gas layer to form a channel between the wellbore and the production layer, so as to carry out fracturing or other stimulation operations to improve production capacity. In a long horizontal wellbore containing multiple production layers, the standby time is long and the construction cost is high during the fracturing or other stimulation operations. To solve this problem, the prior art integrates the sliding sleeve and ball valve used in the open-hole multistage fracturing construction into the casing string and lowers them into the well together, and they are cemented together with the casing string.

[0040] The iron wool catalyst 15 refers to a type of catalyst that is usually used in oxidation reactions. They are usually composed of iron oxides (such as Fe2O3), and the surface is covered with a fluffy or fibrous structure, which is beneficial to improving the activity and selectivity of the catalyst. The iron wool catalyst 15 is often used as a catalyst for oxidation reactions in the chemical industry, such as oxidizing methane to produce syngas, oxidizing benzene to produce phenol, etc. This type of catalyst usually has high catalytic activity and stability and is widely used in industrial production.

[0041] Bromine trifluoride 19 is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula BrF3. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent odor at room temperature. Bromine trifluoride 19 is a strong oxidizing agent and can react with many organic and inorganic substances. In chemical laboratories, it is often used as a fluorinating agent or oxidizing agent and is also used in organic synthesis reactions.

[0042] As Figures 1-7 shown, the perforator 1 disclosed in the present utility model includes a perforating frame 9, a medicine cylinder 16, a first breaking disk 18 and a second breaking disk 8. Among them, the perforating frame 9 is provided with a through hole 17, the medicine cylinder 16 is arranged inside the through hole 17 along the axis of the through hole 17, the first breaking disk 18 is arranged at the first end of the medicine cylinder 16, the second breaking disk 8 is arranged at the second end of the medicine cylinder 16, a medicine is arranged inside the medicine cylinder 16, and a convex portion 23 is arranged at one end of the perforating frame 9 close to the second breaking disk 8. When the first breaking disk 18 and the second breaking disk 8 are broken, a chemical reaction occurs to the medicine. Specifically, the through hole 17 penetrates through the body of the perforator 1, and the medicine is enclosed in the medicine cylinder 16 by the first breaking disk 18 and the second breaking disk 8. Specifically, the ways of applying pressure to the perforator 1 include, but are not limited to, pumping a pressure liquid to the side close to the first breaking disk 18 and other ways. When in use, the perforator 1 provided by the present utility model is arranged at a preset position, pressure is applied to its outside. Under the action of the pressure, the first breaking disk 18 and the second breaking disk 8 are broken, the medicine inside the medicine cylinder 16 generates a chemical reaction, the medicine penetrates through the cement ring 20, the reservoir 21, etc. at the corresponding position of the perforator 1 through the second breaking disk 8, and forms a hole with a certain depth in the reservoir 21, so that fracturing or other stimulation operations can be carried out, improving the operation efficiency. By using the chemical reaction of the medicine to generate effects such as corrosion and explosion, it is not necessary to formulate a well completion plan in advance, greatly shortening the standby time during the construction of fracturing or other stimulation operations and reducing the construction cost.

[0043] To optimize the above technical solution, the perforator 1 further includes a protective layer 14 disposed at the second end of the chemical cartridge 16. An iron wool catalyst 15 is arranged between the protective layer 14 and the second breaking disk 8, and bromine trifluoride 19 is arranged between the first breaking disk 18 and the second breaking disk 8. Specifically, the protective layer 14 includes, but is not limited to, elastomers, metals, or other materials that can protect the iron wool catalyst 15. During use, under the action of pressure, the first breaking disk 18, the second breaking disk 8, and the protective layer 14 rupture, and the bromine trifluoride 19 passes through the iron wool catalyst 15 and rapidly undergoes a violent chemical reaction, resulting in an explosion. Holes of a certain depth are formed in the cement sheath 20, the reservoir 21, etc. at the corresponding position of the perforator 1, so that fracturing or other stimulation operations can be carried out, improving the operation efficiency. At the same time, the operator can pressurize at any time to control the rupture of the first breaking disk 18 and the second breaking disk 8, eliminating the need to formulate a completion plan in advance, greatly shortening the standby time during fracturing or other stimulation operations, and reducing the construction cost.

[0044] To optimize the above technical solution, one end of the perforating rack 9 close to the first breaking disk 18 is an inclined surface 13. Specifically, the inclined surface 13 is provided to adapt to the ball throwing operation. During actual use, after the ball is thrown, the ball 22 will hit one end of the perforating rack 9 close to the first breaking disk 18. To make the ball 22 exert an inclined force on the perforating rack 9 and promote the perforating rack 9 to move in a direction perpendicular to the falling direction of the ball 22, the contact surface between the ball 22 and the perforating rack 9 is set as the inclined surface 13. Such an arrangement can prevent the ball 22 from getting stuck in the perforating rack 9 and unable to promote the movement of the perforating rack 9, thus ensuring the operation efficiency.

[0045] The chemical perforating ball sliding sleeve disclosed by the present utility model comprises a sphere 22, a casing 5 and a perforator 1 as described in any one of the above, wherein an outer shell 2 and an inner sleeve 3 are arranged inside the casing 5, the agent of the perforator 1 is used to corrode the casing 5, the outer shell 2 is provided with a first mounting hole for accommodating a convex portion 23, the inner sleeve 3 is provided with a second mounting hole 11 which is matched with a perforating frame 9, when the sphere 22 acts on the perforating frame 9, the perforating frame 9 moves along the axial directions of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole 11. Specifically, a shoulder 12 is arranged at one end of the second mounting hole 11 close to the first mounting hole, when the sphere 22 impacts an inclined surface 13, the shoulder 12 will guide the perforating frame 9 to move radially to reduce the offset of the perforating frame 9 along the axial direction of the inner sleeve 3. For the chemical perforating ball sliding sleeve provided by the present utility model, during use, the casing 5 is arranged underground, the inner sleeve 3 is lowered to a preset position in the casing 5 so that the perforator 1 is aligned with the position where operation needs to be carried out, an operator drops the sphere 22 into the inside of the inner sleeve 3 from top to bottom, the sphere 22 falls and acts on the perforator 1 to push the perforating frame 9 to move along the axial direction of the second mounting hole 11, the convex portion 23 of the perforating frame 9 moves along the axial direction of the first mounting hole, then pressure is applied to the inside of the casing 5, under the action of the pressure, a first breaking disk 18 and a second breaking disk 8 of the perforator 1 are broken, the agent generates a chemical reaction, the agent penetrates through a cement sheath 20, a reservoir 21, etc. at the corresponding position of the perforator 1 through the second breaking disk 8, and forms holes with a certain depth in the reservoir 21. During the use process, there is no need to formulate a completion plan in advance, and the operation position can be determined at any time during the pipe-laying process, which greatly shortens the standby time in the construction of fracturing or other stimulation operations and improves the operation efficiency.

[0046] To optimize the above technical solution, the chemical perforating ball sliding sleeve further comprises a base 7, the base 7 is arranged inside the first mounting hole, a third mounting hole which is matched with the convex portion 23 is provided in the middle of the base 7, and the base 7 is fixedly connected with the outer shell 2. During use, the sphere 22 strikes the inclined surface 13 downward along the axial direction of the inner sleeve 3, under the action of the sphere 22, the perforating frame 9 moves inside the second mounting hole 11, and the convex portion 23 of the perforating frame 9 moves inside the third mounting hole until the second end of the agent cartridge 16 approaches the preset operation position, then an operator pumps pressure fluid into the inner sleeve 3 to break the first breaking disk 18, the second breaking disk 8 and a protective layer 14, the agent corrodes the casing 5, and the impact force generated by the chemical reaction forms holes at the preset position, and then fracturing or other stimulation operations can be carried out. The above operation process takes a short time, reduces the construction cost, overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art, and improves the operation efficiency.

[0047] To optimize the above technical solution, the base 7 and the outer shell 2 are connected by bolts 6.

[0048] To optimize the above technical solution, a shear pin 10 is arranged on one side of the base 7 close to the perforating rack 9, and the shear pin 10 is arranged outside the third mounting hole. Specifically, the shear pin 10 keeps the protruding part 23 initially arranged in the second mounting hole 11. Under the action of the ground pumping pressure, the shear pin 10 is cut off, and the protruding part 23 enters the third mounting hole until the inclined surface 13 completely enters the second mounting hole 11, and then the sphere 22 continues to fall. Such an arrangement realizes the structural stability of the perforating rack 9 in the initial state. Only under the action of force, the shear pin 10 is cut off can the operation be started, improving the use safety of the chemical perforating ball-dropping sliding sleeve.

[0049] To optimize the above technical solution, a ball seat 4 is arranged inside the inner sleeve 3. The ball seat 4 protrudes radially along the inner sleeve 3 for receiving the sphere 22. Specifically, the shape of the ball seat 4 gradually converges along the direction of the sphere 22 falling. When the sphere 22 passes through the perforator 1 and completes the task of pushing the perforator 1 into the third mounting hole, it continues to fall and is received by the sphere 22. Such an arrangement can prevent the sphere 22 from falling into the bottom of the well, thus realizing the recovery of the sphere 22.

[0050] To optimize the above technical solution, the number of perforators 1 is two, and they are arranged oppositely in the inner sleeve 3. Specifically, according to the use requirements, multiple perforators 1 can be arranged in the inner sleeve 3 and operate simultaneously. When multiple perforators 1 are arranged axially in the inner sleeve 3, one sphere 22 falling can push two or more perforating racks 9 to move simultaneously, thus realizing rapid operation and simultaneous operation.

[0051] To optimize the above technical solution, the inner sleeve 3 is slidably arranged inside the casing 5. Specifically, the inner sleeve 3 can slide axially inside the casing 5 to close or open the outer shell 2 and the holes generated on the casing 5 after perforation.
