Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oilfield well repair, in particular to an oil pipe anti-channeling device. Background Art
[0002] During the well repair operation in the oil field, due to the influence of many factors such as long-term production suspension causing displacement of formation energy, dead oil cap at the bottom of the casing, or dead oil blockage at the bottom of the oil pipe, it is very easy to cause sudden wellhead overflow during the process of raising and lowering the oil pipe during minor repair operation. If there are not many oil pipes left in the well, the oil pipe may be pushed up and out of the wellhead, thereby causing an uncontrolled blowout.
[0003] At present, the anti-channeling measures on site are either to install an anti-channeling short joint or to use a blowout preventer, but both methods have certain disadvantages. Among them, the anti-channeling short joint (1m oil pipe short joint + plug valve) requires two people to lift and install, while the blowout preventer (1 oil pipe + plug valve + oil pipe short joint) needs to be hoisted by a well repair rig to complete. The tools are large and heavy, resulting in a long installation time and difficulty in installation, and it is easy to miss the best time to rush to blow out. In addition, after the successful installation, the oil pipe will be pushed up due to the pressure in the well. When it reaches a certain height, the coupling on the oil pipe will directly hit the blowout preventer gate, which can easily cause damage to the blowout preventer gate, affect the seal, and cause well control to lose control.

[0007] A plurality of riggings are spaced and evenly distributed around the axis of the sleeve, one end of the rigging is connected to the sleeve, and the other end is connected to the casing spool or the wellhead blowout preventer.
[0008] Furthermore, an annular groove with a length of L is formed between the coupling and the plug valve;
[0009] The thickness of the boss is T, 5mm<T<L.

The tools are large and heavy, resulting in a long installation time and difficulty in installation, and it is easy to miss the best time to rush to blow out. In addition, after the successful installation, the oil pipe will be pushed up due to the pressure in the well. When it reaches a certain height, the coupling on the oil pipe will directly hit the blowout preventer gate, which can easily cause damage to the blowout preventer gate, affect the seal, and cause well control to lose control.
[0035] In view of this, the present invention provides an oil pipe anti-channeling device, including a sleeve 1, the sleeve 1 has an inner cavity, and a boss 11 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 1, the boss 11 is used to abut against the end face of the coupling 2, and form a large channel and a small channel in the inner cavity, wherein the large channel is used to insert the coupling 2, and its aperture is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coupling 2, and the small channel is used to penetrate the plug valve 3; multiple rigging 4, the multiple rigging 4 are spaced and evenly distributed around the axis of the sleeve 1, one end of the rigging 4 is connected to the sleeve 1, and the other end is connected to the casing large four-way or the wellhead blowout preventer.
[0036] In the oil pipe anti-channeling device, the sleeve 1 can be sleeved on the coupling 2 through the large channel, and the coupling 2 is limited by the boss 11; through the small channel, the plug valve 3 can be threadedly connected to the coupling 2; through the rigging 4, the casing large four-way or the wellhead blowout preventer can limit the sleeve 1.
[0037] In specific applications, the appropriate length of the rigging 4 is determined according to the wellhead height, and one end of the rigging 4 is connected to the sleeve 1, and the other end is fixed to the appropriate position of the casing large four-way or the wellhead blowout preventer, and then the sleeve 1 is placed at the appropriate position of the wellhead; when overflow is found and the well needs to be shut in, the wellhead personnel directly put the sleeve 1 on the coupling 2 of the first oil pipe at the wellhead, and then install the plug valve 3 on the coupling 2, and complete the well shut-in according to the normal blowout procedure; when the oil pipe rises, after the rigging 4 is tightened, the rigging 4 and the sleeve 1 apply reverse tension to the coupling 2 to prevent the oil pipe from rising.
[0038] It can be seen that compared with the existing technology, the oil pipe anti-channeling device has a simple structure and can be installed quickly; in addition, by determining the length of the rigging 4, the oil pipe anti-channeling device can control the upward channeling height of the oil pipe, preventing the coupling 2 from hitting the blowout preventer gate, thereby effectively ensuring well control safety.
[0039] The following combination Figures 1 to 3 The structure and shape of the oil pipe anti-channeling device provided in this embodiment are described in detail:
[0040] Further, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an annular groove 5 with a length of L is formed between the coupling 2 and the plug valve 3; the thickness of the boss 11 is T, 5mm<T<L.
[0041] Specifically, T can be 5.5 mm, 6 mm, or 6.5 mm. The length of L is related to the length of the reduced diameter section of the plug valve 3, which will not be elaborated here. This design ensures that the boss 11 can withstand a certain force to effectively limit the butt collar 2. Furthermore, it also ensures that the connecting section of the plug valve 3 is fully connected to the butt collar 2, establishing an effective seal between the plug valve 3 and the butt collar 2.
[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The upper end of the boss 11 is provided with a chamfer, so that the plug valve 3 is conveniently installed.
[0043] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hanging ear 12 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 1, and the hanging ear 12 corresponds to the rigging 4 one by one and is connected to the rigging 4.
[0044] Optionally, the lug 12 is integrally formed with the sleeve 1 or welded to the sleeve 1, thereby ensuring tensile strength. Optionally, two lugs 12 are provided, and the two lugs 12 are symmetrically distributed about the axis of the sleeve 1. This design ensures that the sleeve 1 is evenly stressed and is easy to handle when assembled.
[0045] Regarding Rigging 4, specifically:
[0046] The rigging 4 includes a draw rope 41 and a connector; one end of the draw rope 41 is fixed to the casing spool or the wellhead blowout preventer, and the other end is connected to the connector.

Optionally, the connector is a shackle, and the shackle is rotatably connected to the hanging ear 12 through a pin shaft. Here, the axis of the pin shaft is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 1.
[0047] In the above, the pull rope 41 is a soft connection, which is convenient for adjusting the length, easy to use, and can adapt to more scenarios; the pull rope 41 is connected to the hanging ear 12 through a shackle, which can reduce the wear of the pull rope 41 during the tightening process and ensure the safety of construction.
[0048] The application process of the oil pipe anti-channeling device provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0049] Connect one end of the two riggings 4 to the opening position of the corresponding hanging lug 12 respectively, and adjust the rigging 4 to the appropriate length according to the wellhead height, and fix the other ends of the two riggings 4 to the appropriate positions on both sides of the large four-way of the casing or on both sides of the wellhead blowout preventer; then place the connected oil pipe anti-channeling device at the appropriate position of the wellhead. When overflow is found and the well needs to be shut down, the wellhead personnel directly put the sleeve 1 on the coupling 2 of the first oil pipe at the wellhead, and install the plug valve 3 on the coupling 2, and then complete the well closing according to the normal emergency blowout procedure.
