Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the cutting device of the wellhead casing of petroleum industry, more particularly to a wellhead casing plasma cutting device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of oilfield drilling operation, the procedure after casing is finished and cementing operation is: cutting casing, polishing casing bevel, installing casing head and wellhead equipment such as well packer.
[0003] Before this step of cutting casing, generally need to punch the casing to discharge the internal accumulated water and silt, then use oxyacetylene cutting machine to cut the casing above the punching position, otherwise the internal pressure slurry will make oxyacetylene torch reheat, there is a security risk, its operation process is complex, and the cutting efficiency is low. The cutting quality of casing will affect the operation efficiency of subsequent polishing bevel and welding, and the casing end surface after cutting is required to obtain lower roughness and cutting angle and narrower heat affected zone width. The working environment of drilling platform is complex, the space is small, and the devices on the platform are closely spaced, so the outer dimension of the wellhead casing cutting equipment has a relatively strict requirement.
[0004] At present, the methods of cutting petroleum casing at home and abroad mainly include the following methods of abrasive water jet cutting, chemical cutting, and shaped charge cutting:
[0005] The abrasive water jet cutting technology is a cold cutting technology, which can cut metal casing. The technology realizes pressure increase by adding abrasive particles such as diamond sand and copper slag in water, and high-speed liquid flow is formed after pressure increase, and the speed of abrasive liquid flow can reach 600-1000 m / s. However, the cutting cost is high, the abrasive also accelerates the nozzle loss, and the sealing performance and requirement of the cutting system are also very strict. At the same time, in order to obtain high efficiency of cutting effect, the abrasive water jet needs to have a suitable jet speed, these factors make the structure of the system more complex, and the application is limited in the casing cutting operation.
[0006] The chemical cutting technology is to use the substance filled in the casing to generate chemical change, generate high temperature and high pressure chemical reaction and corrode and cut the casing. The casing section formed by using the chemical cutting method is relatively smooth, the pipe mouth outer diameter is relatively larger than the original outer diameter, the cutting is not limited by the casing material and size, and the cutting effect is good. However, since the liquid sprayed by the chemical cutting is fluoride, it has strong toxicity, and will cause great harm to biology, human beings and the surrounding ecological environment, so its use is also limited.
[0007] The energy-gathering explosion cutting is to cut the casing by using the energy generated by the explosion of the explosive. When cutting, the energy-gathering cutting tool is lowered to the casing to be cut, and the casing is cut by using the high-pressure gas flow generated after the explosion of the explosive. The appearance of the casing break is extremely irregular. At the same time, the amount of explosive is not easy to control. When the amount is less, the casing cannot be completely cut off; when the amount is too much, a huge amount of energy is released to impact the ecological environment around the oil well, causing serious damage.
[0008] The commonly used casing cutting methods at home and abroad have the problems of low cutting efficiency, complex cutting process, high cost and the like, and the plasma cutting with different working gases can cut various conventional cutting metals that are difficult to cut. The plasma cutting has the advantages of fast cutting speed, smooth cutting surface and small thermal deformation, but the commonly used plasma casing cutting device at home has the disadvantages of difficult positioning, time-consuming installation and unstable cutting process.
[0009] The Chinese patent authorized publication No. CN112253027B discloses a marine abandoned wellhead cutting device based on plasma arc cutting, which comprises a supporting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a cutting mechanism and a guiding mechanism. The supporting mechanism is used for providing downhole support for the whole device, ensuring that the lower rotating mechanism is located at the center of the casing. The rotating mechanism is used for driving the rotating of the feeding mechanism and the cutting mechanism to achieve the purpose of cutting the casing. The feeding mechanism is used for adjusting the distance between the cutting mechanism and the inner wall of the casing. The cutting mechanism is used for generating high-temperature plasma arc to realize cutting operation. The guiding mechanism provides guidance for the whole device, ensuring that the device can be smoothly lowered along the casing axis.
[0010] The above-mentioned invention is a cutting device specially used for the cutting of the marine abandoned wellhead. The device has the advantages of simple and compact structure, good stability, low equipment manufacturing cost, wide application range, small cutting force, no vibration, good economic benefit and market value. However, the device can only be used for cutting the casing of the abandoned wellhead.
[0011] There is no report on the plasma cutting device for the casing of the wellhead in the cementing operation at home and abroad at present. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a casing cutting device with high efficiency, compactness and safe working for use in the drilling operation. SUMMARY
