Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of downhole oil production tools, and in particular to a rubber sleeve for a deep well fracturing packer. Background Technology
[0002] Deep well fracturing technology is one of the key technologies in the oil and gas extraction industry, playing a crucial role, especially in the development of unconventional oil and gas resources. During fracturing, the packer sleeve, as the core component of the packer, is used to isolate different sections of the wellbore, ensuring that fracturing fluid can enter the formation along the designed path and achieve efficient fracturing operations. The packer sleeve needs to withstand complex expansion pressures in the high-temperature, high-pressure downhole environment, while also possessing excellent sealing performance, pressure buffering capacity, and long-term stability to meet the requirements of multiple fracturing cycles.
[0003] Traditional deep well fracturing packer sleeves typically have a simple structural design. They generally employ only a single layer or a simple composite structure. The outer sealing layer is mostly made of ordinary rubber, lacking special design for the irregular shape of the well wall, making it difficult to fit tightly to the well wall and resulting in poor sealing performance. The middle buffer layer material has limited elasticity and flexibility, failing to adequately buffer external pressure and effectively absorb expansion stress, making it prone to fatigue damage after repeated operations. The inner support structure often lacks rigidity or effective design to cope with high-temperature thermal expansion, making it unable to stably control the sleeve deformation under high pressure and high temperature environments, causing the sleeve to be prone to excessive deformation or even damage.
[0004] These problems result in poor sealing performance, short service life, and insufficient stability of traditional packers under complex deep well fracturing conditions, failing to meet the demands of modern oil extraction for high efficiency, durability, and safety. Therefore, a new type of packer packer for deep well fracturing is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0033] WITH REFERENCE Figures 1-4 An embodiment provided by the utility model: a deep well fracturing packer rubber tube, including:
[0034] Outer layer flexible sealing ring 1, outer layer flexible sealing ring 1 is used to adapt to well wall surface and realize sealing;
[0035] Middle composite buffer layer 2, middle composite buffer layer 2 is used to buffer external pressure and absorb stress generated by expansion;
[0036] Inner layer rigid support framework 3, inner layer rigid support framework 3 is used to provide structural support and limit the expansion range of rubber tube;
[0037] The outer layer flexible sealing ring 1, the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 and the inner layer rigid support framework 3 are arranged in axial integration, and are used for realizing the composite effect of sealing, pressure buffering and expansion support as a whole.
[0038] Specifically, the outer layer flexible sealing ring 1 is adapted to the surface morphology of the well wall and reliably seals the well wall and effectively blocks fluid leakage by virtue of the gradient flexible protrusions and micro-texture structure 101. The intermediate composite buffer layer 2 is deformed flexibly to buffer external pressure by virtue of the characteristics of the high-elasticity material and the flexible material, the overall structure is maintained stable by virtue of the multiple reinforcing ribs 201 on the inner wall, the stress generated by expansion is absorbed, and fatigue damage is reduced. The inner layer rigid support framework 3 uniformly disperses the expansion pressure by virtue of the annular framework structure and the radially distributed support ribs 301, adjusts the high-temperature thermal expansion stress by virtue of the radial compensation grooves 302 between the adjacent support ribs 301, and provides structural support and limits the expansion range of the rubber sleeve.
[0039] With reference to Figures 1-4 , the outer layer flexible sealing ring 1 is provided as a gradient flexible protrusion structure for fitting with the irregular surface of the well wall and improving the contact stability. The surface of the outer layer flexible sealing ring 1 is provided with a micro-texture structure 101 for enhancing the friction and the fitting performance with the well wall.
[0040] Specifically, the outer layer flexible sealing ring 1 is provided as a gradient flexible protrusion structure for fitting with the concave-convex irregular parts of the well wall surface, forming adaptive sealing. The gradient protrusions can cover different well wall shapes, enhancing the contact stability of the well wall. The surface of the outer layer flexible sealing ring 1 is provided with a micro-texture structure 101. The micro-texture provides additional friction when contacting the well wall, further enhancing the anti-slippage capability of the flexible sealing ring 1, and improving the fitting performance of the rubber sleeve with the well wall.
[0041] With reference to Figure 4 , the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 is composed of a high-elasticity material and a flexible material for providing flexible deformation and reducing fatigue damage when the rubber sleeve expands. The inner wall of the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 201 at equal intervals.
[0042] Specifically, the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 is composed of a high-elasticity material and a flexible material, providing flexible deformation capability during the expansion of the rubber sleeve, effectively relieving the direct impact of the expansion pressure on the structures of the rubber sleeve, absorbing the stress generated by expansion, avoiding local stress concentration, and reducing fatigue damage of the rubber sleeve in multiple fracturing operations. The multiple reinforcing ribs 201 provided at equal intervals on the inner wall of the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 strengthen the overall structural strength of the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 during high-pressure expansion, prevent uneven deformation caused by high pressure, and ensure the stability of the flexible deformation capability of the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 in long-term use.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inner layer rigid support framework 3 is arranged in a ring framework structure, and support ribs 301 distributed in the radial direction are arranged on the inner layer rigid support framework 3, which are used to uniformly disperse the expansion pressure and enhance the support strength, and a radial compensation groove 302 is arranged between two adjacent support ribs 301, which is used to adjust the thermal expansion stress under high temperature conditions and maintain the stability of the inner layer rigid support framework 3.
[0044] Specifically, by arranging the inner layer rigid support framework 3 in a ring framework structure, the overall radial support capability is provided, which provides a stable support framework for the inside of the rubber sleeve during high-pressure expansion, prevents excessive deformation caused by high-pressure expansion, and ensures the shape retention and structural integrity of the rubber sleeve; by arranging the radial support ribs 301 on the inner layer rigid support framework 3, which cooperate with the ring framework structure, the external pressure is uniformly dispersed to the entire framework range during expansion, avoiding the concentration of pressure in a single part, thereby improving the carrying capacity and overall structural strength of the support framework; by arranging the radial compensation groove 302 between the support ribs 301, which cooperates with the support ribs 301, allows the framework structure to slightly expand under high temperature environment, releases the stress generated due to temperature rise, avoids deformation or cracking of the framework material caused by thermal expansion, and ensures the long-term stability of the inner layer rigid support framework 3 under high temperature conditions.
[0045] Working principle: when the deep well fracturing packer rubber sleeve starts to work, the outer layer flexible sealing ring first plays a role, the gradient flexible protrusion structure thereof can adaptively fit according to the irregular shape of the well wall, and the surface micro-texture structure 101 greatly enhances the friction between the well wall, ensuring that the sealing ring is tightly attached to the well wall, effectively blocking fluid leakage, and achieving reliable sealing; then, the intermediate composite buffer layer 2 responds to the external pressure, and the characteristics of being composed of high-elasticity material and flexible material enable it to flexibly deform, buffer the impact force from the outside, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 201 arranged equidistantly on the inner wall maintain the structural stability of the buffer layer during the buffering process, reducing fatigue damage caused by frequent deformation; at the same time, the inner layer rigid support framework 3 operates synchronously, relying on the ring framework structure and the radial distribution of the support ribs 301 to uniformly disperse the pressure generated during the expansion of the rubber sleeve, ensuring that the rubber sleeve has stable support during expansion, and the radial compensation groove 302 between the adjacent support ribs 301 adjusts the thermal expansion stress under high temperature environment, maintaining the stability of the framework itself. The three-layer structure is arranged in an axial integration, cooperates with each other, and cooperates to achieve the composite functions of sealing, buffering external pressure, and providing stable support for expansion, to meet the needs of complex working conditions of deep well fracturing.
