Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to petroleum engineering technical field especially relates to a multi -channel pipe with positioning structure and area identification. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coiled tubing, also known as flexible tubing, can be up to ten thousand meters long, and can replace conventional tubing to perform many operations. Coiled tubing operation equipment has the characteristics of operating with pressure and continuous lifting down, and has small equipment volume, fast operation cycle and low cost, and is widely used in oil and gas field workover, drilling, well completion, logging and other operations throughout the whole process of oil and gas exploitation. Taking logging as an example, coiled tubing logging technology is a new technology popularized in the field of oil and gas field testing in recent years. The technology is as follows: the cable is threaded through and encapsulated in the coiled tubing, the coiled tubing is connected to the logging instrument at the end, and the ground equipment is used to send the logging instrument to the target well section for testing by relying on the rigidity and toughness of the coiled tubing. According to the depth of logging, the length of the coiled tubing can reach several kilometers or even ten kilometers.

[0003] However, during construction, it is often found that the cable in the coiled tubing of such length often breaks. One of the reasons is that because the diameter of the cable is smaller than the diameter of the tubing (i.e. the tubing and the cable are separated), when the coiled tubing with the cable inside is finished and wound up, the cable will be attached to the inside of the coiled tubing. When used in the well, the cable usually does not attach to the inside of the coiled tubing, but is in a central position. In order to enable both ends of the cable to align with both ends of the coiled tubing, the length requirement of the tubing when the cable is in the central position is greater than the length requirement when the cable is attached to the inside of the coiled tubing during winding, so when the cable changes from the winding state to the operating central state, it will break due to the increased length requirement.

[0004] In the prior art, a coiled tubing cable with a limiting inner clamp is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 201710122020.X, a clamping sleeve is provided on the outside of the cable at certain intervals, the two ends of the clamping sleeve are positioned between the limiting inner clamps, the limiting inner clamps are welded on the inner wall of the coiled tubing, and the clamping sleeve is made of rigid or elastic material and is in interference fit and clamped with the surface of the cable. When the coiled tubing cable is used, on the one hand, most of the weight of the cable can be borne by the limiting inner clamps, and on the other hand, the length of the cable can be basically ensured to be the same as that of the coiled tubing, so that the cable is not easily broken when the coiled tubing cable is bent or straightened.

[0005] The coiled tubing cable with the limiting inner clamps has the following problems: the clamping sleeve is a single-channel single-position clamp, and has a single function; the limiting inner clamps are welded on the inner wall of the coiled tubing, and have a short service life.

[0033] In the embodiment, the inner wall of the rubber tube 3 is provided with a guide groove 302 which is in rolling sliding cooperation with the ball 503-2, and the guide groove 302 is arranged axially along the inner wall of the rubber tube 3. In the initial state, the ball 503-2 is partially exposed from the groove 503-1, and the depth of the guide groove 302 is less than the depth of the limiting groove 301.

[0034] In the embodiment, the elastic member 503-3 is a spring.

[0035] In the embodiment, the cable 4 is provided with an identification mark, and the identification marks on the cables 4 are different from each other, the function of the cable 4 can be identified through the identification mark, and the cables 4 can be conveniently distinguished.

[0036] In the embodiment, the cable 4 comprises a conductor core 401, an insulation layer 402 and an outer protective layer 403 which are sequentially sleeved together from inside to outside, and in the embodiment, the identification mark is a color on the outer protective layer 403.

[0037] In the embodiment, the outer protective layer 403 is sleeved with a second outer protective tube 404. The first outer protective tube 1 and the second outer protective tube 404 are both stainless steel tubes.

[0038] The production process of the utility model:

[0039] The production of the cable: the steel belt passes through a rolling device to produce a preliminary U deformation, facilitating the formation of the shape of the continuous pipe; the colored outer sheath 403 (the outer sheath 403 already contains the conductor core 401 and the insulating layer 402) is placed into the U-shaped steel belt, the U-shaped steel belt passes through the rolling device again to be processed into a tubular shape, and then is welded by laser to form the second outer sheath pipe 404 in the form of an armored layer.

[0040] The installation of the card group: a card group 5 is installed on the cable 4 at a certain distance along the length direction.

[0041] The production of the rubber pipe: rubber material and fillers are placed into a mixing machine to be extruded at a head 140±10℃, a tail 180±10℃ and an extrusion speed of 6±0.5m / min, after the extrusion through the head die, the rubber pipe 3 is internally slotted to form the limiting groove 301 and the guide groove 302.

[0042] The assembly of the cable with the card group in the rubber pipe: the cable 4 with the card group 5 is inserted into the rubber pipe 3, the compressed gas passing through the air pump is filled into the rubber pipe 3 by opening the air pump, the gas flow of the compressed gas pushes the card group 5 into the rubber pipe 3, the exposed part of the ball 503-2 on the card group 5 slides forward along the guide groove 302 in the rubber pipe 3, the cable 4 passes through the metering device to be positioned, facilitating the determination of the position of the card group 5. Then, the rubber pipe 3, the cable 4 and the card group 5 are sent into a steaming box for overall heating, when the temperature is above 60℃, the hot melt adhesive on the card group 5 melts, the ball 503-2 pops out and is fixed on the limiting groove 301 on the inner wall of the rubber pipe 3. Since the depth of the guide groove 302 is less than the depth of the limiting groove 301, there is a height difference between the limiting groove 301 and the guide groove 302. That is, the ball 503-2 pops out, and the card group 5 will not exit in the reverse direction along the guide groove 302.

[0043] The armoring: the stainless steel belt is wound on the outer wall of the rubber pipe 3 to form the armored pipe 2, then the armored pipe 2 is welded on the continuous steel belt, and then the continuous steel belt is processed again to form the first outer sheath pipe 1.

[0044] The above-described embodiments only describe the preferred modes of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application, and various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art without departing from the design spirit of the present application shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
