Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cementing operation, and relates to an anti-slip cementing plug. Background Art

[0002] After cement is injected in the cementing operation, a cementing plug is pressed into the wellbore by displacement pressure, and finally all the cement slurry is displaced into the annular space between the casing and the well wall. The cementing plug descends to the supporting bumping seat, the pressure suddenly increases, the displacement stops, and the bumping is completed. However, conventional cementing plugs have many drawbacks.

[0003] The rubber wing of the cup or rubber disc of the conventional plug is a unidirectional structure and usually can only withstand the unidirectional pressure from the displacement fluid in the wellbore. Once the cement slurry column pressure in the annulus of the well wall is too high, the plug cannot withstand the reverse pressure, resulting in backflow. At this time, cement will remain in the casing, increasing the difficulty of the later drilling operation. Seriously, there will be too much cement in the casing, resulting in cementing failure and abandonment of the whole well.

[0004] After the cement injection operation starts, with the increase of the construction time, the wear of the cup or rubber disc of the conventional plug will become larger and larger, and the fit with the wellbore will become worse and worse. It is easy to have poor sealing, causing interlayer flow between the cement slurry and the displacement fluid, thus affecting the displacement efficiency, reducing the cementing quality, and bringing difficulties to the later operation. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art that the rubber wing of the cup or rubber disc of the conventional plug is a unidirectional structure, which can only withstand the unidirectional pressure from the displacement fluid in the wellbore. When the internal pressure is too high, backflow will occur, resulting in cementing failure. At the same time, poor sealing is likely to occur inside, causing interlayer flow between the cement slurry and the displacement fluid, thus affecting the displacement efficiency, and to provide an anti-slip cementing plug.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An anti-slip cementing plug includes a plug core shaft, and a plurality of rubber discs are axially sleeved on the plug core shaft. A convex structure is arranged on the outer side wall of the rubber disc, and the convex structure is used to resist the pressure at both axial ends of the rubber disc;

[0008] A limiting member is arranged at the end of the plug core shaft.

[0009] A further improvement of the utility model lies in:

[0010] The convex structure includes a first convex portion and a second convex portion. The first convex portion is inclined on one side in the axial direction of the rubber disc, and the second convex portion is inclined to the other side.

[0011] The first convex portion and the second convex portion are of an integral structure.

[0012] A rubber disk fixing seat is arranged between every two adjacent rubber disks.

[0013] A groove is formed on the end surface of the rubber disk fixing seat close to the rubber disk, and a protrusion corresponding to the groove is arranged on the end surface of the rubber disk.

[0014] A snap ring is arranged between the rubber disk fixing seat and the rubber plug mandrel.

[0015] The limiting member is a rubber plug head, and the rubber plug head is used for axially positioning the rubber disk.

[0016] A clamping groove is formed on the end surface of the rubber plug head close to the rubber disk, and the clamping groove is clamped with the rubber disk.

[0017] Four rubber disks are axially arranged.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The utility model discloses an anti-slip cementing rubber plug. The rubber plug disclosed by the utility model is provided with a protrusion structure on the outer end surface. The protrusion structure is used for resisting the pressure at both axial ends of the rubber disk. During the cementing operation, the rubber plug can bear the bidirectional pressure from the cement slurry and the displacement fluid, realize the good sealing of the rubber plug, prevent cross-strata, avoid the backflow phenomenon. The protrusion structure can scrape the residual cement slurry on the casing wall, ensure that there is no cement left in the casing, improve the cementing quality, ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent work. When there is a cement plug in the pipe, the protrusion structure will also be embedded in the cement. After the cement solidifies, the anti-slip cementing rubber plug will be integrated with the cement, which can prevent the anti-slip cementing rubber plug from rotating with the drill bit during the drill plug process, so that the anti-slip cementing rubber plug can be easily drilled out.

[0020] Further, in the utility model, one side of the first protrusion part inclines along the axial direction of the rubber disk, and the second protrusion part inclines to the other side, which improves the effectiveness of the rubber plug in resisting the bidirectional pressure.

[0021] Further, in the utility model, a rubber disk fixing seat is arranged between every two adjacent rubber disks, which ensures the stability of the rubber plug fixation.

[0022] Further, in the utility model, a concave surface is formed on the end surface of the rubber disk fixing seat close to the rubber disk, and a protrusion corresponding to the concave surface is arranged on the end surface of the rubber disk, which can still improve the stability of the rubber plug fixation under the action of the internal pressure.

[0023] Further, in the utility model, a clamping groove is formed on the end surface of the rubber plug head close to the rubber disk, and the clamping groove is clamped with the rubber plug head, which avoids the axial movement of the rubber disk. Description of the Drawings
