Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of downhole operation in oil fields, and particularly relates to a multifunctional blowout-preventing tail pipe for a separate injection well. Background Art

[0002] Oilfields are typically composed of multiple reservoirs with varying permeabilities and physical properties. Separate layer water injection balances displacement pressure across each layer, ensuring that the injected water effectively displaces crude oil from the reservoir and improving overall recovery. Without separate layer water injection, high-permeability layers often flood first, impacting oil recovery from low-permeability layers. Separate layer water injection allows precise control of injection rates in high-permeability layers, preventing premature flooding and improving overall development effectiveness. By controlling the injection rate and pressure of each layer, stratified water injection prevents water breakthrough and ensures normal production and efficient oil recovery.

[0003] At present, a blowout-preventing tail pipe needs to be set at the bottom of the injection well to realize pressure operation. For example, a preset working cylinder disclosed in the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN108691516A, by inserting the push rod into the working cylinder, the conical block is moved into the conical hole to block it, thereby preventing the occurrence of a blowout. At the same time, the blocking block is located in the groove to fix the push rod, which is convenient for docking with the plug. This blowout-preventing tail pipe structure, in which the conical block and the fixed block are actually a one-way valve, is suitable for lowering the tubing string under pressure when the oil well pressure is relatively low. When dealing with some oil wells with deeper depths and higher pressures, it is still easy to overflow when lowering the tubing string. Moreover, there is room for improvement in the connection method of the plug, and the delivered plug still has the problem of multiple plugging.

[0004] The current new generation of blowout preventer tail pipe needs to achieve the following functions:

[0005] 1. The blowout-preventing tail pipe can be used to prevent blowout and overflow when the oil pipe is lowered under pressure;

[0006] 2. In subsequent oilfield operations, oil pumping and water injection operations are required. At this time, the blowout preventer tail pipe is required to ensure that the bottom oil pipe has the function of a one-way valve;

[0007] 3. After the oil pipe has been working for a long time, it is necessary to backwash the well. Inject water from the casing and enter the well from the blowout preventer tail pipe to backwash the well and remove all kinds of sediments and blockages from the bottom up in the oil pipe.

[0008] 4. When the oil pipe accessories encounter failure and well repair is required, the blowout preventer tail pipe is also needed to seal the oil pipe when the oil pipe is raised and lowered under pressure.

[0009] Designing a blowout preventer tail pipe to achieve the above functions and be suitable for working conditions with higher pressure and improve the success rate of well repair and plugging has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a multifunctional blowout-preventing tail pipe for injection wells includes: a tail pipe body and a plug. The tail pipe body includes a seating section, a throttling and deceleration section, a blocking section, and a plug with a 2-type ball seat.

[0027] The sealing section includes a sealing pipe 8, the throttling and deceleration section and the blocking section are two parts of the deceleration pipe 7, and the plug 2 type ball seat 5 section includes a plugging pipe 4, a screen pipe 1, a plug 2, a ball seat 5, and a steel ball 6.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the tail end of the seat sealing tube 8 can be connected to the oil pipe, and the seat sealing tube 8, the speed reducing tube 7, the plugging tube 4, and the screen tube 1 are connected in sequence; the inner diameter of the rear half of the speed reducing tube 7 is smaller than that of the seat sealing tube 8, and the inner diameter of the front half is further reduced; the plug 2 is fixed by shear nails 3 and sealed in the rear section inside the screen tube 1, and a ball seat 5 and a steel ball 6 are installed in the plugging tube 4.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the plug includes a guide head 9, an expansion rubber sleeve 11, a compression rubber sleeve 12, and slips 14. The front portion of the guide head 9 is tapered and fits into the inner wall of the speed reducer 7. A booster rubber sleeve 10 is mounted behind the guide head 9. The booster rubber sleeve 10 comprises multiple continuous tapered portions that each contract downward. The booster rubber sleeve 10 is connected to the guide head 9 via an internal stud. The booster rubber sleeve 10, expansion rubber sleeve 11, and compression rubber sleeve 12 are made of a soft material, preferably rubber or resin.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, an expansion rubber cylinder 11 is mounted behind the guide head 9. The expansion rubber cylinder 11 includes multiple petals that can expand backward under pressure. The front of the compression rubber cylinder 12 contacts the movable column 16, and the rear contacts the fixed column 20. The compression rubber cylinder 12, movable column 16, and fixed column 20 are sleeved on the core shaft 15. The rear of the core shaft 15 is connected to a bolt, which is screwed into the fixed column 20. The lock 13 is mounted on the bolt. The lock 13 prevents the bolt from rotating, avoiding the structure of the core shaft 15, expansion rubber cylinder 11, and compression rubber cylinder 12 from being separated.

[0031] When the downhole pressure is not high, the expansion rubber cylinder 11 contacts the sealing tube 8 to seal; when the downhole pressure is high, the compression rubber cylinder 12 is compressed to effectively improve the pressure resistance level and withstand high pressure.

[0032] An oblique sliding column 17 is provided behind the fixed column 20, and an oblique notch is provided on the oblique sliding column 17. The inclined surface of the oblique notch is provided with a sliding slip 14. A groove is provided inside the fixed column 20, and a sealing ring 18 is installed in the groove to fit the cylindrical surface of the core shaft 15.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a limit rod 19 is installed at the rear of the inclined sliding column 17, and the limit rod 19 is detachably screwed on the inclined sliding column 17 by bolts; symmetrical grooves are set on the inclined surface of the inclined sliding column 17, and the slips 14 are buckled in the grooves to prevent them from falling off during sliding.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model:

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is divided into a seating section A, a throttling and deceleration section B, a blocking section C, and a plug 2-type ball seat 5 section D.

[0036] The utility model is installed on the oil pipe through the connecting buckle. When the oil pipe is lowered, the pipe of the utility model is mainly subjected to the upward pressure of the downhole oil. The plug 2 is acted upon by the shear nails 3 to seal the blocking pipe 4 to prevent the oil from overflowing when the oil pipe is lowered.

[0037] When injecting water and pumping oil, first use a cement truck to inject water. Under the action of pressure, the steel ball 6 pushes the plug 2, overcoming the connection effect of the shear nail 3 and pushing the plug 2 to the Figure 1 In the screen tube 1 shown, steel ball 6 now fits in a tapered ball seat 5. During water injection, the water flow creates a seal between the steel ball 6 and the ball seat 5, injecting water into the oil layer above the tail pipe. During oil pumping, negative pressure forces the oil from the ball seat 5 into the tail pipe and then into the oil pipeline, allowing normal operation.

[0038] When backwashing the well, water is injected into the outer casing of the oil pipe. High-pressure water enters the screen pipe 1 from the hole of the screen pipe 1, enters the tail pipe through the ball seat 5, and then enters the oil pipe, flushing the residue attached to the oil pipe.

[0039] When a well repair is required, the plugging device is deployed, and high-pressure water pushes the booster rubber cylinder 10, which quickly passes through the water distributor and enters the sealing pipe 8 at the bottom of the oil pipe. When the guide head 9 enters the speed reducer 7 in the throttling and deceleration section, it is throttled and decelerated due to the smaller pipe diameter and the reduced return water gap. Finally, it enters the blocking section of the speed reducer 7, and the guide head 9 is squeezed and stopped by the front of the speed reducer 7. At this time, the slips 14 slide down along the inclined sliding column 17 under the action of inertia and gravity, and the outer side contacts the inner wall of the sealing pipe 8. Downhole oil passes through the ball seat 5 and upward over the booster rubber cylinder 10, pushing the petal-shaped expansion rubber cylinder 11. After the expansion rubber cylinder 11 opens, it drives the movable column 16 to move backward. Because the slips 14 at the rear of the plug are in contact with the inner wall of the sealing tube 8, after being pushed upward, the slips 14 are acted upon by the inclined force of the inclined sliding column 17, tightly locking the sealing tube 8, thereby fixedly connecting with the sealing tube 8. The movable column 16 moves upward, and the compression rubber cylinder 12 is squeezed by the active column 16 and slips 14, so that it is in close contact with the sealing tube 8, achieving a high pressure sealing and blocking the continued upward movement of the oil. The core shaft 15 is provided with a sealing ring 18 to prevent oil from leaking from the core shaft 15 inside the compression rubber cylinder 12.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concepts and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those familiar with the art to understand and implement the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit and substance of the present invention are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
