Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of downhole casing damage repair, in particular to an automatic pressure relief valve and an oil well reinforcing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the extension of oilfield development time, the downhole conditions will become more and more complex, specifically manifested in the deformation of the perforation section casing, and the number of broken wells is increasing year by year, which seriously affects the normal development of the oilfield.

[0003] The deformation of the perforation section casing and the broken well are mainly treated by the small casing suspension secondary cementing process. This process needs to drill a channel at the deformation of the perforation section casing or the broken well first, then lower the small casing, and then inject cement slurry into the annular space between the small casing and the original well casing. After the cement slurry solidifies, the secondary cementing is completed. This process has a long construction period and high construction cost. In order to ensure the cementing quality, a larger space must be left between the small casing and the original well casing, resulting in a smaller inner diameter of the small casing, which affects the later maintenance operation.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent application with the application publication number CN115217432A and the application publication date October 21, 2022 discloses a long well section patch reinforcing device. The device includes an outer pipe assembly and an inner pipe assembly. The outer pipe assembly includes a hanging pipe, an upper setting pipe, an upper metal seal, a patch pipe, a lower metal seal, and a lower setting pipe. The inner pipe assembly includes a release, an upper hydraulic anchor, a hydraulic booster, a lower hydraulic anchor, and a plug. When the upper metal seal is set on the well casing, the release is locked on the hanging pipe, the upper and lower hydraulic anchors are anchored on the upper setting pipe and the patch pipe respectively, and the hydraulic booster generates a pulling force on both ends of the upper metal seal to achieve the setting of the upper metal seal. When the lower metal seal is set on the well casing, the upper and lower hydraulic anchors are anchored on the patch pipe and the lower setting pipe respectively, and the hydraulic booster generates a pulling force on both ends of the lower metal seal to achieve the setting of the lower metal seal.

[0005] The above-mentioned device does not need to use cement for cementing, thus reducing the construction cost and shortening the construction period. Moreover, a larger space is not needed between the patch pipe and the original well casing, so the inner diameter of the patch pipe can be larger, which is beneficial to the later maintenance operation.

[0006] The upper hydraulic anchor and the lower hydraulic anchor in the device have flukes, and the flukes can realize anchoring operation after being extended. Whether the flukes are extended depends on the internal and external pressure difference at the upper hydraulic anchor and the lower hydraulic anchor. When the internal pressure at the upper hydraulic anchor and the lower hydraulic anchor is greater than the external pressure, the flukes will be extended. In the process of construction by using the device, the running tool is connected with the oil pipe, and water needs to be injected into the inner tube assembly through the oil pipe to provide the internal pressure. The liquid level in the original well casing determines the external pressure of the inner tube assembly. However, the original liquid level in the original well casing cannot be accurately determined. Therefore, in order to facilitate the control of the internal and external pressure difference, the original well casing and the oil pipe need to be filled with water and the liquid level needs to be to the well mouth before construction. In this way, the liquid level in the oil pipe is also at the well mouth, and the internal and external pressure at the upper hydraulic anchor and the lower hydraulic anchor is balanced when there is no additional pressure.

[0007] After completion of the setting, the oil pipe needs to be pulled out. Since the oil pipe occupies the space in the original well casing when the oil pipe is in the original well casing, the liquid level in the original well casing will decrease in the process of pulling the oil pipe upward. The liquid level in the oil pipe is always at the well mouth, so the liquid level in the oil pipe will be higher than the liquid level in the original well casing, and the height difference of the liquid level will gradually increase. Therefore, the internal and external pressure difference at the upper hydraulic anchor and the lower hydraulic anchor will also become larger, which causes the flukes to be unexpectedly extended in the process of pulling the oil pipe upward, and thus a construction accident is likely to occur. Practical new type content

[0008] One of the purposes of the present utility model is to provide an automatic pressure relief valve to solve the technical problem that the flukes will be unexpectedly extended in the process of pulling the oil pipe upward after completion of the setting in the prior art.

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0040] To address the problems in the prior art, the basic concept of this utility model is to connect the inner and outer parts of the inner tube assembly after the outer tube assembly is pulled upwards from the inner tube assembly, so that the liquid inside the inner tube assembly can flow outwards, ensuring that the pressure difference between the inside and outside is equal, thereby preventing the anchor tooth from accidentally protruding.

[0041] Specific embodiment 1 of the oil well reinforcement device provided by this utility model:

[0042] An oil well reinforcement device includes an outer tube assembly and an inner tube assembly.

[0043] See appendix Figure 1 The outer tube assembly includes, from top to bottom, a lifting tube 1, an upper sealing sleeve tube 2, a first sealer 3, an upper reinforcing tube 4, a second sealer 5, a lower reinforcing tube 6, a third sealer 7, and a lower sealing sleeve tube 8, connected in sequence.

[0044] See appendix Figure 2 The inner pipe assembly includes, from top to bottom, a release handle 9, an upper hydraulic anchor 10, a hydraulic booster 11, a lower hydraulic anchor 12, an automatic pressure relief valve 13, and a plug 14. The specific structure of the outer pipe assembly and the inner pipe assembly, excluding the automatic pressure relief valve 13, can be found in the outer and inner pipe assemblies in Chinese invention patent application CN115217432A, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0045] See appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5The automatic pressure relief valve 13 comprises a valve body 1301, the valve body 1301 is provided with a valve cavity 1302 penetratingly in the up-down direction, the valve cavity 1302 is a slit hole structure, specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the valve cavity 1302 is a waist shape. One end of the valve body 1301 in the up-down direction is provided with an outer taper surface 1303, and the other end is provided with an inner taper surface 1304, and the outer taper surface 1303 and the inner taper surface 1304 are both formed with a threaded structure. The end of the valve body 1301 provided with the inner taper surface 1304 is connected with the lower hydraulic anchor 12, and the valve cavity 1302 is communicated with the inner cavity of the lower hydraulic anchor 12; the end of the valve body 1301 provided with the outer taper surface 1303 is connected with the cap-shaped plug 14, and the valve cavity 1302 is blocked by the plug 14.

[0046] For the convenience of description, the opening direction of the valve cavity 1302, that is, the up-down direction, is taken as the first direction in the embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the valve cavity 1302 is a waist shape, the length direction of the waist shape is the second direction, and the width direction of the waist shape is the third direction.

[0047] The valve body 1301 is coaxially provided with two sliding channels 1305, the axes of the two sliding channels 1305 are in the same direction as the third direction, and the inward end of the sliding channel 1305 is communicated with the valve cavity 1302. Since the size of the valve cavity 1302 in the second direction is larger, the diameter of the sliding channel 1305 can be larger. The valve body 1301 is also provided with a waist-shaped flow channel 1306, the flow channel 1306 is provided with four, and each sliding channel 1305 corresponds to two, the flow channel 1306 communicates the corresponding sliding channel 1305 with the outer surface of the valve body 1301, the extension directions of the two flow channels 1306 corresponding to each sliding channel 1305 are in the same direction as the second direction, and the two flow channels 1306 corresponding to each sliding channel 1305 are arranged along the second direction.

[0048] The automatic pressure relief valve 13 further comprises valve plugs 1307 arranged in the sliding channels 1305, the ends of the two valve plugs 1307 facing the valve cavity 1302 are opposite, and a resilient member is arranged between the two valve plugs 1307, which is specifically a spring 1308 in the embodiment, the two ends of the spring 1308 are respectively in pressure contact with the end portions of the two valve plugs 1307, and the end portions of the valve plugs 1307 are provided with accommodating grooves for accommodating the spring 1308. The spring 1308 penetrates the valve cavity 1302 in the third direction, but since the cross-sectional shape of the valve cavity 1302 is a waist shape, the liquid in the valve cavity 1302 can flow from both sides of the spring 1308, so the spring 1308 will not block the flow of the liquid in the valve cavity 1302. In other embodiments, the resilient member can also be a rubber air bag.

[0049] The slide 1305 comprises a sealing fitting section 13051 and a guiding section 13052, wherein the sealing fitting section 13051 is the part of the slide 1305 between the corresponding leakage passage 1306 and the valve cavity 1302, the guiding section 13052 is located at the end of the sealing fitting section 13051 away from the valve cavity 1302, and the inner diameter of the guiding section 13052 is larger than that of the sealing fitting section 13051, so that a stop step 1309 is formed between the guiding section 13052 and the sealing fitting section 13051. The leakage passage 1306 is in communication with the guiding section 13052 of the corresponding slide 1305 in particular.

[0050] The valve plug 1307 is shaped to match the shape of the slide 1305, and comprises a large-diameter section 13071 and a small-diameter section 13072, wherein the small-diameter section 13072 corresponds to the sealing fitting section 13051, and the large-diameter section 13071 corresponds to the guiding section 13052. Two sealing rings 1313 are arranged on the small-diameter section 13072, so that the small-diameter section 13072 can form a sealing fit with the sealing fitting section 13051 when the small-diameter section 13072 extends into the sealing fitting section 13051. The large-diameter section 13071 is guided to fit with the guiding section 13052, so that the valve plug 1307 can be guided to move in the third direction. A fitting step 13073 is formed between the large-diameter section 13071 and the small-diameter section 13072, which can be stopped from fitting with the stop step 1309 after the valve plug 1307 is retracted into the slide 1305.

[0051] The valve body 1301 is fixedly provided with a limiting piece 1310 on both sides in the second direction, the limiting piece 1310 is a long strip structure, and the valve body 1301 is provided with a mounting groove 1311 at the corresponding position for mounting the limiting piece 1310, the groove depth direction of the mounting groove 1311 is in the same direction as the second direction, and the groove depth of the mounting groove 1311 is equal to the thickness of the limiting piece 1310 in the second direction, so that the limiting piece 1310 does not protrude from the outer surface of the valve body 1301. The length direction of the limiting piece 1310 is in the same direction as the first direction, both ends of the length direction of the limiting piece 1310 are fixedly connected with the valve body 1301 by bolts, and the middle position of the limiting piece 1310 in the length direction is located at the mouth of the corresponding slide 1305.

[0052] The valve plug 1307 is provided with a limiting groove 13074 on the end face away from the valve cavity 1302, the groove depth direction of the limiting groove 13074 is in the same direction as the second direction, and the groove depth of the limiting groove 13074 is greater than the size of the limiting piece 1310 in the second direction. After the valve plug 1307 moves away from the valve cavity 1302, the groove bottom of the limiting groove 13074 can be in contact with the limiting piece 1310 and prevent the valve plug 1307 from further moving under the limiting action of the limiting piece 1310.

[0053] The upper and lower sides of the valve plug 1307 away from the one end of the valve cavity 1302 are also provided with guide bevels 1312, which can facilitate the valve plug 1307 to retract into the corresponding slide 1305 during the process of assembling the inner tube assembly into the outer tube assembly. In other embodiments, the valve plug 1307 can also not be provided with the guide bevel 1312, which requires the valve plug 1307 to be continuously pressed during the process of assembling the inner tube assembly into the outer tube assembly.

[0054] In use, the valve plug 1307 has two working positions, which are the sealing position and the flow position respectively.

[0055] When the inner tube assembly is located in the outer tube assembly, especially when the automatic pressure relief valve 13 is located in the outer tube assembly, the valve plug 1307 is located in the sealing position, at this time the valve plug 1307 is completely located in the corresponding slide 1305, the small diameter section 13072 of the valve plug 1307 is in sealing fit with the sealing fit section 13051, cutting off the connection between the flow channel 1306 and the valve cavity 1302. Moreover, since the automatic pressure relief valve 13 is located in the outer tube assembly, the inner wall of the outer tube assembly forms a limiting effect on the valve plug 1307, the matching step 13073 on the valve plug 1307 is always in stop fit with the stop step 1309 on the valve body 1301, so that the valve plug 1307 always remains in the sealing position, ensuring better sealing of the inner tube assembly. During the process that the valve plug 1307 is in the sealing position, the spring 1308 is always in a compressed state.

[0056] When the automatic pressure relief valve 13 moves out of the outer tube assembly, due to the loss of the limitation of the outer tube assembly, both valve plugs 1307 of the automatic pressure relief valve 13 will move away from the valve cavity 1302 under the action of the spring 1308, and finally make the groove bottom wall of the limiting groove 13074 in stop fit with the limiting piece 1310, at this time the valve plug 1307 is in the flow position. When the valve plug 1307 is in the flow position, the small diameter section 13072 of the valve plug 1307 exits from the sealing fit section 13051, the flow channel 1306 is connected with the valve cavity 1302 through the sealing fit section 13051, then the liquid in the inner tube assembly can flow out through the flow channel 1306.

[0057] Before construction, the inner tube assembly and the outer tube assembly are assembled, the release hand 9 assembly is connected with the oil pipe 16, and the lifting pipe 1 in the outer tube assembly is matched with the release hand 9 in the inner tube assembly, so that the outer tube assembly is lowered into the well together with the inner tube assembly. After the pipe string is lowered to the designed depth, the space between the original well casing and the oil pipe 16 is filled with water, and then water is injected into the oil pipe 16 to pressurize, so that the upper hydraulic anchor 10 is anchored at the upper setting casing 2, and the lower hydraulic anchor 12 is anchored at the upper reinforcing pipe 4. Continue to pressurize, so that the hydraulic tensioner 11 exerts tension on the upper and lower ends of the first sealer 3 to achieve the setting of the first sealer 3.

[0058] After the setting of the first packer 3 is completed, the pressure is released, the anchor teeth of the upper hydraulic anchor 10 and the lower hydraulic anchor 12 are retracted, and the cooperation between the releasing hand 9 and the hanging pipe 1 is released. Since the setting of the first packer 3 has been completed, the outer pipe assembly will not sink after the cooperation between the releasing hand 9 and the hanging pipe 1. The inner pipe assembly is lowered again, and the upper hydraulic anchor 10 is anchored at the upper reinforcing pipe 4, and the lower hydraulic anchor 12 is anchored at the lower reinforcing pipe 6, and the setting of the second packer 5 is performed. After the setting of the second packer 5 is completed, the pressure is released again, and the inner pipe assembly is lowered, so that the upper hydraulic anchor 10 is anchored at the lower reinforcing pipe 6, and the lower hydraulic anchor 12 is anchored at the lower setting sleeve 8, so as to perform the setting of the third packer 7. After the setting of the third packer 7 is completed, the pressure is released again.

[0059] When the automatic pressure relief valve 13 is located in the outer pipe assembly, the valve plug 1307 of the automatic pressure relief valve 13 is always in the sealing position, so that the inner pipe assembly has good sealing effect during the pressure test, and the pressure leakage does not occur, so that the setting operation is smoothly completed.

[0060] After the setting of the three packers is completed, the tubing 16 is lifted, and the inner pipe assembly is lifted together with the tubing 16. When the automatic pressure relief valve 13 moves out of the outer pipe assembly, the valve plug 1307 is no longer limited in the transverse direction of the outer pipe assembly, so that the two valve plugs 1307 move away from the valve cavity 1302 under the action of the spring 1308 to the drainage position. At this time, the inner pipe assembly is in communication with the outside, and the liquid in the inner pipe assembly can flow into the space between the original well casing and the tubing 16, so that the liquid level in the tubing 16 and the original well casing can always be kept flat during the lifting of the tubing 16, so as to prevent the inner and outer pressure difference at the inner pipe assembly caused by the liquid level difference, and avoid the accidental extension of the anchor claws of the upper hydraulic anchor 10 and the lower hydraulic anchor 12.

[0061] Before construction, the opening 15 can be processed in advance on the upper reinforcing pipe 4 and the lower reinforcing pipe 6, so that the downhole perforation after the setting is completed is not needed, and the construction cost is effectively reduced, and the construction period is shortened.

[0062] In one embodiment of the embodiment, four oil layers can be separated by three packers. In other embodiments, the number of packers can be increased or decreased as needed. The setting distance of a single packer is 100 mm, and the stroke of the hydraulic booster 11 is 500 mm. In theory, the hydraulic booster 11 can satisfy the setting of at least four packers at a time. In order to be able to set more packers, the reverse pressure of 3-5 MPa can be applied during the field construction. The reverse pressure refers to the pressure applied to the space between the original well casing and the tubing 16, so that the stroke of the hydraulic booster 11 is restored.
