Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of well logging equipment and relates to a horizontal well butt joint gun. Background Art
[0002] The docking gun is one of the important tools for horizontal well logging operations. The docking gun is connected to the head of the logging cable. When in use, it is placed in the water hole of the construction drill bit, and after being lowered into the well, it is docked with the wet joint male head connected to the drill bit head to complete the power supply and signal transmission between the logging surface system and the downhole instrument string. The original docking gun consists of a cable weak point device and a female gun assembly.
[0003] At present, in order to protect the logging cable during horizontal well logging operations, it is stipulated that the horizontal well bypass short-section tool cannot be out of the casing. For horizontal wells with shallow depth under the casing and long measuring well section, segmented docking construction is required to complete the entire horizontal well logging operation. In order to reduce the on-site construction time (the production of the mother gun takes two to three hours), the docking gun is usually designed as an inverted connection method, that is, a three-meter-long logging cable is connected to the mother gun assembly through the weak point assembly, and then the cable mother connector is made on the cable head to achieve quick connection with the logging cable head. Although the inverted docking gun provides convenience for on-site construction, However, maintenance and inspection are rather cumbersome, which makes it difficult to locate and judge when insulation or continuity failure occurs in the docking gun. If a problem occurs, the cable torpedo, inverted cable, and mother gun weakness device on the inverted docking gun must be removed and the problem must be gradually eliminated. After the problem is eliminated, it is easy to have poor release or wire breakage during installation, resulting in excessively long maintenance time. According to statistics, it takes two people four to five hours to repair a mother gun assembly, and the cable weakness device must be replaced every two times the docking gun is used, resulting in increased production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the inverted docking gun. Utility Model Content
