TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to bridge plug technical field, concretely relates to high pressure bearing drill soluble bridge plug. BACKGROUND
[0002] Petroleum bridge plug is the key equipment for controlling the fluid flow in the well in petroleum exploration and production, and the main function is to seal the layer of oil and gas well, and the working principle of the bridge plug is that the bridge plug is transported to the predetermined position of the casing by cable or pipe column, the pressure generated by the firecracker blasting, hydraulic setting or mechanical setting tool acts on the upper slip, and then the upper cone and the lower cone apply two forces of upward pressure and downward pull on the sealing rubber cylinder, so that the rubber cylinder expands and abuts against the inner wall of the casing, and then the setting of the casing is completed.
[0003] However, since the diameter of the rubber cylinder gradually increases when it expands, the support of the rubber cylinder by the upper cone and the lower cone is limited, and as the rubber cylinder further increases, when the diameter of the rubber cylinder is greater than the diameter of the upper cone and the lower cone, the outer diameter of the rubber cylinder loses the support of the upper cone and the lower cone, and since fracturing needs to be carried out in the casing by explosion in subsequent work, the high temperature and high pressure generated by the explosion causes the rubber cylinder to displace in the casing, which reduces the sealing property of the rubber cylinder to the casing and affects the normal operation of the petroleum exploration work, therefore, the high pressure bearing drill soluble bridge plug is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0016] The particles in each particle group are engaged in the inner wall of the casing, so that the bridge plug is fixed on the inner wall of the casing and displacement of the bridge plug in the casing is avoided. Meanwhile, the particles are high-strength hard ceramic particles, so that the particles have extremely high hardness and strength and can withstand extremely high pressure and temperature.

[0026] Example
[0027] The embodiment is basically as shown in the attached Figures 1-3 As shown, Figure 1 The high-pressure drillable soluble bridge plug shown includes a central tube 1, an expansion ring 2, a rubber tube 3, an upper positioning piece and a lower positioning piece. The expansion ring 2, the rubber tube 3, the upper positioning piece and the lower positioning piece are all sleeved on the outer wall of the central tube 1. The central tube 1, the expansion ring 2, the upper positioning piece and the lower positioning piece are all set to soluble magnesium alloy metal, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper positioning piece is located on the outer wall of the left end of the rubber cylinder 3, and the expansion ring 2 is located at the right end of the rubber cylinder 3. An annular groove 4 is axially opened on the outer wall of the expansion ring 2, and the annular groove 4 is inclined and surrounds the outer wall of the expansion ring 2 half a circle. When the expansion ring 2 is subjected to a certain pressure, the expansion ring 2 breaks along the slide groove. The lower positioning piece is located at the right end of the expansion ring 2, and a push cylinder 5 is provided on the outer wall of the left end of the center tube 1. The push cylinder 5 can push the upper positioning piece to move toward the lower positioning piece. The right end of the center tube 1 is threadedly connected to an adapter 6, and the adapter 6 is used to fix the center tube 1.
[0028] The upper positioning part includes a bottom ring 7, an upper cava 8 and an upper cone 9. The bottom ring 7, the upper cava 8 and the upper cone 9 are all slidably mounted on the outer wall of the center tube 1. The bottom ring 7 is mounted on the outer wall of the left end of the center tube 1. The upper cava 8 is located at the right end of the bottom ring 7, and the left end of the upper cava 8 is in contact with the bottom ring 7. The upper cone 9 is located at the right end of the upper cava 8, and the left end of the upper cone 9 is conical. The right end of the upper cava 8 is wrapped around the outer wall of the left end of the upper cone 9.
[0029] The lower positioning part includes a lower cone 10, a lower cava 11 and a clamping cap 12. The lower cone 10 and the lower cava 11 are both slidably mounted on the outer wall of the center tube 1. The clamping cap 12 is threadedly connected to the right end of the center tube 1. The lower cone 10 is located at the right end of the expansion ring 2. The right end of the lower cone 10 is conical. The lower cava 11 is located at the right end of the lower cone 10, and the right end of the lower cava 11 is in contact with the clamping cap 12. The left end of the lower cava 11 is wrapped around the outer wall of the right end of the lower cone 10.
[0030] The lower protecting ring 15 is installed at the right end of the rubber sleeve 3, and is sleeved on the outer wall of the central pipe 1. The right end of the lower protecting ring 15 abuts against the expansion ring 2. The outer wall of the upper slip 8 and the lower slip 11 is radially provided with a plurality of particle groups 16. Each particle group 16 includes a plurality of particles 16. The particles 16 are high-strength hard ceramic particles, and are in a cylindrical shape. The lower end of each particle 16 is inlaid on the outer wall of the upper slip 8 or the lower slip 11. The upper end of each particle 16 is provided with an inclined plane to form an arc-shaped edge, which can be engaged with the inner wall of the casing. The diameter of each particle 16 in the particle group 16 on the outer wall of the upper slip 8 is 8 mm, and is arranged in a triangular shape. The particles 16 in the particle group 16 on the outer wall of the lower slip 11 are arranged in an axial direction of the lower slip 11. The diameters of the two rows of particles 16 close to the lower cone 10 are 8 mm, and the diameter of the row of particles 16 close to the cap 12 is 9.5 mm. Since the width of the lower slip 11 is large, when the lower cone 10 moves to the lower slip 11, the lower slip 11 close to the lower cone 10 is expanded by a large amplitude, and the lower slip 11 close to the cap 12 is expanded by a small amplitude. In order to keep each particle 16 engaged with the inner wall of the casing, the diameter of the particles 16 close to the cap 12 is set to 9.5 mm, and the diameter of the particles 16 close to the lower cone 10 is set to 8 mm.

Of course, the cap 12 and the first limiting blocks 13, and the lower slip 11 and the second limiting blocks 14 can be integrally formed. The first limiting blocks 13 guide the second limiting blocks 14, thereby increasing the stability of the lower slip 11 when it is expanded.
[0032] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0033] When the bridge plug is delivered to the predetermined position of the casing by the cable or the pipe column, the center tube 1 is relatively fixed with the adapter 6 due to the threaded connection between the center tube 1 and the adapter 6, when the push cylinder 5 moves to the front end of the bridge plug under the action of the gunpowder or the hydraulic pressure, the push cylinder 5 pushes the bottom ring 7 to move to the cap 12, and sequentially pushes the upper slips 8, the upper cone 9, the rubber cylinder 3, the lower retainer 15, the expansion ring 2 and the lower cone 10 to move to the cap 12, in the process, the upper slips 8 and the lower slips 11 are respectively supported by the upper cone 9 and the lower cone 10, so as to be engaged with the inner wall of the casing under the action of the particles 16, and then the bridge plug is fixed at the predetermined position of the casing, meanwhile, the rubber cylinder 3 is expanded under the extrusion of the upper cone 9 and the lower retainer 15, when the rubber cylinder 3 is expanded, the expansion ring 2 is broken along the ring groove 4 under the pressure, with the continuous movement of the push cylinder 5, the rubber cylinder 3 is continuously expanded, the first end and the second end of the broken expansion ring 2 are staggered along the inclined surface formed by the ring groove 4, so that the width of the expansion ring 2 is reduced, but the diameter of the expansion ring 2 is increased, thereby the expansion ring 2 continues to provide support for the expanded rubber cylinder 3, until the rubber cylinder 3 abuts against the inner wall of the casing, which can effectively prevent the expanded rubber cylinder 3 from being displaced in the subsequent high temperature and high pressure environment, and increase the sealing performance of the bridge plug to the casing.
[0034] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and the specific technical solutions and / or common knowledge of the scheme are not described in detail. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical scheme of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application, and these will not affect the effect and practicality of the present application.
