Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of hydraulic anchors, especially a kind of multistage filtration high-pressure fracturing hydraulic anchor, belong to oil and gas well hydraulic fracturing tool technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the development process of oil and gas reservoir, tight oil and gas reservoir needs to be fractured and reconstructed, and the fracturing and reconstruction string usually needs to be installed with a hydraulic anchor. The hydraulic anchor in the string anchors the string, so that the entire string will not appear to creep during the construction process. While anchoring, the hydraulic anchor in the fracturing string must have sand prevention function to avoid the anchor claw from being unable to be recovered and sand sticking after the construction is completed, which leads to the entire string being unable to be smoothly pulled out.

[0003] The sand prevention pipe in the anchor body of the existing hydraulic anchor is a whole slotted pipe. The gap of the sand prevention pipe is between 0.2 and 0.3. The gap will increase under the influence of pressure in the well, and the fracturing sand will enter from the gap between the sand prevention pipe and the inner wall of the hydraulic anchor, which leads to the anchor claw hole being blocked when the anchor tooth is recovered due to the blocking of the fracturing sand, causing the anchor claw to be unable to be normally recovered, so that the operation string cannot be normally pulled out, and even the oil and water well needs to be overhauled. Another reason for the anchor claw to be unable to be normally recovered is that the spring recovery force is too small.

[0004] The reason why the anchor claw is not firmly anchored is that the direction of all anchor claws is perpendicular to the casing wall. In actual construction, the hydraulic anchor string is sometimes subjected to upward force and sometimes downward force, and the direction of the anchor claw is unreasonable.

The pipe body I is directly inserted into the anchor body, and the pipe body II is threadedly connected with the anchor body. The up-and-down position gap of the pipe body I in the anchor body can be adjusted through the pipe body II according to different downhole environments. There is no effective sealing structure such as sealing ring, and the sand prevention is unreliable. Moreover, the anchor claw has only one direction.

[0006] The existing patent CN202021664552.X slotted sand prevention hydraulic anchor has a sand prevention pipe gap of 0.2-0.3. The gap will increase under the influence of pressure in the well, thereby causing sand blocking. Moreover, the anchor tooth cannot be normally recovered when it is recovered due to sand sticking, so that the operation string cannot be normally pulled out, and even the oil and water well needs to be overhauled. Moreover, the anchor claw has only one direction. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0035] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, the multi-stage filtration high-pressure fracturing hydraulic anchor of this utility model includes: a hydraulic anchor body 1, a retaining spring 2, an outer sleeve 3, an inner sleeve 4, a fastening screw 5, a pressure strip 6, a rectangular spring 7, an anchoring piston 8, anchor claw teeth 9, and carbide teeth 10. The hydraulic anchor body 1 serves as the basic frame of the entire device and is used to install and fix other components.

[0036] The outer sleeve 3 is located in the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body, and the lower end of the outer sleeve 3 abuts against the inner step of the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body. The upper part of the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body is embedded with the upper body sealing ring 1a and the upper outer wall of the outer sleeve 3 to realize sealing between the outer wall of the outer sleeve 3 and achieve the sealing performance of the device.

[0037] The inner sleeve 4 abuts against the inner wall of the outer sleeve 3, the lower end of the inner sleeve 4 extends from the lower end of the outer sleeve 3 and abuts against the inner step of the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body, and the upper part of the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body is embedded with the lower body sealing ring 1b and the lower outer wall of the inner sleeve 4 to realize sealing. The upper outer wall of the inner sleeve 4 is expanded in diameter to form a large end of the inner sleeve, the lower part of the large end of the inner sleeve is provided with an outer taper surface of the large end of the inner sleeve, the outer taper surface of the large end of the inner sleeve is pressed on the bell mouth at the upper end of the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body, the top of the large end of the inner sleeve is a flat surface and is pressed by a circlip 2, the circlip 2 is embedded in the annular groove below the tapered female thread at the upper end of the hydraulic anchor body 1, and the upper part of the outer sleeve 3 abuts below the root of the large end of the inner sleeve. In this way, the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 3 are prevented from moving, and the stability of the assembly during operation is ensured.

[0038] A plurality of inner sleeve wire cutting slits 4a are uniformly arranged on the upper periphery of the inner sleeve 4, the slit width of each inner sleeve wire cutting slit 4a is 0.2-0.3mm, and the inner sleeve wire cutting slit 4a extends to the top of the large end of the inner sleeve 4, which is used to guide the liquid flow into the gap between the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 3.

[0039] A plurality of outer sleeve wire cutting slits 3a are uniformly arranged on the lower periphery of the outer sleeve 3, the slit width of each outer sleeve wire cutting slit 3a is 0.2-0.3mm, which is used to guide the liquid flow into the gap between the outer sleeve 3 and the inner wall of the center hole of the hydraulic anchor body. The inner and outer of the outer sleeve 3 are the hydraulic anchor body 1 and the inner sleeve 4 respectively. When the liquid enters, the outer sleeve 3 is limited by the inner and outer, which prevents the outer sleeve wire cutting slit 3a from expanding and limits the entry of the fracturing sand.

[0040] A plurality of anchor claw cavities communicating with the center channel are arranged on the periphery of the hydraulic anchor body 1, and an anchoring piston 8 is embedded in each anchor claw cavity. The circumferential wall of the anchoring piston 8 is embedded with a piston sealing ring 8a and the inner wall of the anchor claw cavity to realize sealing. A counterbore is arranged at the center of the outer end face of the anchoring piston 8, and a rectangular spring 7 is embedded in the counterbore. The outer end head of the rectangular spring 7 abuts against the inner wall of the middle part of the pressing strip 6. The pressing strip 6 extends along the axial direction of the hydraulic anchor body 1, and the upper and lower ends of the pressing strip 6 are fixed on the hydraulic anchor body 1 by fastening screws 5.

[0041] Anchor claw teeth 9 are arranged on both sides of the outer end face of the anchoring piston 8, and the pressing strip 6 is located between the two anchor claw teeth 9. When the center channel of the pipe string is pressurized, the liquid pushes the anchoring piston 8 to extend radially after multi-stage filtration, so that the anchor claw teeth 9 extend from both sides of the pressing strip 6 and are anchored to the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0042] The pressure strip 6 is used to press the outer end of the rectangular spring 7, which provides the resilience for the anchoring piston 8, ensuring that the anchoring jaw 9 can retract in time when the pressure changes, thereby releasing the anchoring.

[0043] For high-pressure fracturing wells, in order to further improve the anchoring force of the hydraulic anchor, hard alloy teeth 10 are welded on the anchoring jaw 9. Due to the high hardness and good wear resistance of the hard alloy, the friction between the anchoring jaw and the inner wall of the casing is greatly enhanced, thereby significantly improving the anchoring ability of the hydraulic anchor and ensuring stable anchoring under high pressure conditions.

[0044] The anchoring process is as follows: the sand-preventing hydraulic anchor is lowered into the well together with the fracturing string. When the string reaches the designed position, the fracturing operation begins. During the operation, when the pressure in the string reaches the setting pressure of the hydraulic anchor, the liquid pushes the anchoring piston 8 to automatically extend radially against the elastic force of the rectangular spring 7. The anchoring jaw 9 tightly clamps onto the inner wall of the casing, and the anchoring is achieved through the friction between the anchoring jaw and the casing, preventing the relative displacement between the tubing string and the casing.

[0045] The unseating process is as follows: after the fracturing operation is completed, when the pressure in the string decreases to less than the setting pressure of the hydraulic anchor, the anchoring piston 8 retracts under the action of the rectangular spring 7, and the hydraulic anchor is unseated, allowing the string to be smoothly pulled up.

[0046] Double-layer multi-channel filtration is achieved using the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 3. The fitting gap between the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 3 is H10 / d10 or H10 / c10, and the fitting gap between the outer sleeve 3 and the central hole of the hydraulic anchor body is also H10 / d10 or H10 / c10.

[0047] During the fracturing operation, the pressure in the central passage increases. After the liquid is filtered by the inner sleeve linear cutting seam 4a for the first time, it flows downward between the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 3 for the second time,

[0048] and then flows upward between the outer sleeve 3 and the central hole of the hydraulic anchor body for the fourth time, finally entering the anchoring jaw cavity to push the anchoring piston 8 and the anchoring jaw 9 to extend. The above design ensures that the liquid is filtered four times before entering the anchoring jaw cavity, effectively preventing impurities such as sand from entering the anchoring jaw cavity and protecting the normal operation of the anchoring jaw.

[0049] The anchoring jaw direction of the traditional hydraulic anchor is perpendicular to the inner wall of the casing, but in actual operation, the force direction of the hydraulic anchor string may be upward or downward, resulting in an unreasonable anchoring jaw direction. The anchoring mechanism of the present hydraulic anchor is designed as three groups, with the anchoring jaw teeth pointing upward, centrally, and downward from top to bottom. This multi-directional design enables the anchoring jaw to effectively anchor under different force conditions, significantly improving the anchoring effect.

[0050] The above merely describes preferred and feasible embodiments of the present application, shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application, and is not intended to limit the patent protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments. In addition to the above embodiments, the present application can also have other implementation manners without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. The present application can also have various changes and improvements, and any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. The technical features not described in the present application can be realized by or using the prior art, and will not be described here.
