AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the existing oil pipe blocker fails when the downhole sealer switch fails, the sealing effect will be poor, resulting in the spraying or overflow of the well fluid, causing environmental pollution and waste of crude oil, and affecting the development of the oil field.

Method used

A oil pipe blocker is designed, using a soluble metal sleeve and a one-way sealing valve structure. The sealing valve is moved upward by dissolving the sleeve from the downhole and using spring tension to close the upper and lower channels to achieve good sealing.

Benefits of technology

Effectively close the oil pipe passage in underground operations to prevent the well fluid from ejecting, reduce environmental pollution and crude oil waste, and improve the sealing effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil port downhole operation tools, in particular to an oil pipe plugger. Background Art

[0002] During oil well production, workovers are often required due to reasons such as downhole tubing disconnection or wax removal. However, due to malfunction of the downhole well sealer switch, the oil layer cannot be sealed. Under the influence of formation pressure, the well fluid in the tubing will spray out or overflow to the wellhead when the tubing is pulled in and out, causing great pollution to the environment, resulting in waste of crude oil, and affecting the workers' operating environment, which is not conducive to environmental protection and the development of the oil field.

[0003] CN2003201315294 discloses an oil pipe plug, comprising an upper locking nut, a pressure plate, a support sleeve, a leather cup, a retaining ring, a rubber plug, a mandrel, a support ring, a lower locking nut, an anchor body, a slider, a block, and a support sleeve. The support sleeve is covered with a leather cup, which is mounted on top of the cup. The mandrel has an upper locking nut and a lower locking nut at each end. The mandrel is sequentially mounted with a rubber plug and a support ring. The anchor body is mounted with a slider and a block. The oil pipe plug is hydraulically delivered and sealed with rubber components. During high-pressure hydraulic delivery, the rubber components rub against the inner wall of the oil pipe, causing damage and affecting the sealing effect. Utility Model Content
