TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to oil and gas well engineering equipment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of abandoned well high-efficiency shoe. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of oil and gas field development, with the continuous promotion of exploitation activities, the number of abandoned wells is rising. Proper handling of abandoned wells is crucial for environmental protection, resource utilization and subsequent new well development.
[0003] Traditional abandoned well treatment faces many problems. There are often complex consolidated obstacles in the wellbore, such as cement plugs, casing fragments and cuttings. These obstacles are mixed together, with significant differences in hardness and structural properties, posing a great challenge to removal work. The grinding shoes used in the past are inefficient in handling such complex situations. Conventional flat-bottomed grinding shoes are not effective in breaking up high-strength obstacles such as casing steel, making it difficult to quickly and effectively break them up, resulting in long operation cycles and high costs. From the perspective of debris removal, the debris removal system of traditional grinding shoes is not perfect. A large amount of debris generated during grinding cannot be removed from the wellbore in a timely and efficient manner, which can cause debris accumulation and repeated grinding. This not only reduces the grinding efficiency of the grinding shoe, but also causes the temperature to rise sharply, seriously affecting the service life of the grinding shoe, and even causing downhole accidents such as sticking, further increasing the risk and cost of the operation.
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned related technology, the inventors found that the existing device has the following defects: the existing device mostly adopts symmetrical teeth or single tooth shape design, the blade angle is unreasonable, which leads to large cutting resistance and fast wear, and cannot realize efficient breaking and grinding. The traditional grinding shoe lacks a spiral forward guide structure, which is easy to deviate or jam during operation, affecting the grinding accuracy, especially in complex well conditions, the guiding ability is insufficient. The grinding layer of the existing device is mostly single material or structure (such as ordinary hard alloy), which cannot meet the grinding needs of different hardness rock layers, and the diamond distribution uniformity is poor, which is easy to cause local wear failure.
