Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil and gas mining equipment, and particularly relates to a metal soluble bridge plug. Background Art
[0002] As oil and gas field development expands to deep, ultra-deep, and complex geological conditions, higher requirements are placed on the performance of bridge plugs. On the one hand, bridge plugs need to have stronger anchoring capabilities to ensure that they can be firmly fixed in the wellbore under high pressure difference environments to prevent the bridge plug from displacement or failure. During the setting process of existing soluble bridge plugs, the opening method and angle of the slips are difficult to accurately control, resulting in poor anchoring effect between the slips and the wellbore wall. They cannot withstand large pressure differences and are prone to anchor failure. The slip structure design of some soluble bridge plugs is unreasonable and cannot provide stable and sufficient support during the setting process, making it impossible for the slips to contact the wellbore wall evenly, affecting the anchoring effect. In addition, existing bridge plugs are anchored first and then the sealing ball is thrown to seal the central pipe. If the central pipe can be quickly and effectively sealed while the slips of the bridge plug are opened, the sealing ability of the bridge plug can be further improved. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a metal soluble bridge plug, which can quickly and effectively deploy slips and seal the central pipe during the setting process, thereby achieving synchronous operations of anchoring and sealing of the bridge plug and improving the anchoring ability and sealing effect of the bridge plug.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0005] A metal soluble bridge plug comprises a center tube, a push ring, a slip and a fastening belt. A circle of mounting blocks is provided at the rear side of the center tube, a limit block is provided on the top of the mounting block, and gaps are provided between the mounting blocks. The slips are hinged on the mounting blocks, and a spring sheet is provided on the inner side of each slip, and a slot is provided on the outer side of each slip. The fastening belt is fixed in the slot to press the slip against the center tube. When the slip is pressed against the center tube, the spring sheet is in a folded state; the push ring is provided at the rear side of the mounting block, and two push rods are provided on the push ring, which are symmetrically arranged forward. Cutters are provided at the ends of the two push rods, and the cutters are arranged corresponding to the fastening belt; a sealing sleeve is provided at the front side of the center tube.
[0006] A rear support frame is provided on the rear side of the push ring, and a plug is provided on the support frame. The plug is arranged corresponding to the channel of the central tube.
[0007] One end of the spring sheet is fixed to the inner side surface of the slip.
[0008] The cutter head of the push rod is a V-shaped cutter head.
[0009] The fastening belt is a fastening belt with a metal structure.
[0010] The sealing sleeve is divided into an inner fixing layer and an outer expansion layer.
[0011] The outer expansion layer is a rubber sealing ring that expands when exposed to water.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0013] The utility model provides a metal soluble bridge plug. After the bridge plug is transported to a designated position in a drilling channel by an external device, the push ring is quickly pushed forward by the external device, the push rod on the push ring moves forward, and the cutter at the front of the push rod cuts the fastening belt. After the fastening belt is cut, the slips are released from the limit, and the spring sheet bounces the slips upward. At this time, the slips are perpendicular to the center pipe, so that all the slips are quickly expanded at the maximum angle to fix the center pipe to the drilling channel; when the push ring moves forward, the plug is pushed and plugged into the rear channel of the center pipe to block the center pipe, so that the slips on the bridge plug are opened and the plug can quickly and effectively block the center pipe synchronously, thereby greatly improving the blocking ability of the bridge plug.
