Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum development, and specifically relates to a new type of push barrel device of bridge plug. BACKGROUND

[0002] The outer diameter of the push barrel of the bridge plug setting adapter is slightly larger than the maximum outer diameter of the bridge plug body or is equal. The purpose is to protect the bridge plug from damage during running, especially during pumping in the horizontal wellbore. With the development of technology, soluble bridge plugs have appeared. In some special well conditions, such as casing deformation, the tool string is prone to sticking. The previous cast iron bridge plug and composite bridge plug can only be salvaged by coiled tubing after sticking. If the bridge plug is stuck, the soluble bridge plug can be dissolved and unstuck by pumping a dissolving agent (hydrochloric acid or potassium chloride solution). Therefore, the field requires that the outer diameter of the bridge plug push barrel be as small as possible, so that even if the bridge plug is stuck, the bridge plug can be dissolved and unstuck without coiled tubing, thereby reducing economic losses.
