Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge plugs, and in particular relates to a bridge plug with a detection function. Background Art
[0002] A bridge plug is a packer that stays at a certain depth in the well and is detached from the tubing string. It is also called a drop-out packer and is mainly used for sealing oil and gas wells.
[0003] Existing bridge plug designs tend to pursue structural simplicity and ease of operation to meet basic downhole plugging needs. However, this pursuit of simplicity has also led to their general lack of built-in detection functions. Specifically, the structure of most bridge plugs is relatively simple, usually containing only the necessary components such as slips, rubber sleeves and locking mechanisms to ensure that they can be correctly set underground and effectively seal the designated formation; due to structural limitations, these bridge plugs usually do not have real-time status monitoring or performance evaluation capabilities. For example, they cannot directly provide real-time feedback on the plugging effect, nor can they monitor key parameters such as downhole pressure and temperature changes. This means that after the bridge plug is deployed, operators can often only rely on indirect means such as observing wellhead pressure changes and conducting pressure tests to evaluate the working status of the bridge plug. Utility Model Content
