Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the deep development of oil fields, the number of medium-deep wells and ultra-deep wells in unconventional reservoirs is increasing, and the development of deep oil and gas resources faces the characteristics of deep wells, high temperature, high pressure, high stress, and high carbon dioxide, and the oil production conditions are deteriorating, so there are higher requirements for the stimulation technology of unconventional reservoirs. At present, in the development of unconventional reservoir stimulation, downhole plugging tools have become the mainstream tools, so the successful setting of downhole plugging tools has become a key technical problem to ensure the stimulation development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs.
[0003] The commonly used downhole setting tools at present are divided into cable pumping explosive combustion driving piston setting, coiled tubing pumping hydraulic power tool setting, and cable pumping pure electric setting tool setting. Among them, the cable pumping explosive combustion driving piston setting mainly ignites the detonator explosive through the cable to transmit the electric signal, and the detonator explosive explodes in a closed space to drive the piston to move and complete the setting. However, on the one hand, the detonator is a flammable and explosive material, which has certain risks in the process of product transportation and use, and the detonator explosive combustion produces large vibration, and the stability in use is poor. The coiled tubing pumping hydraulic power tool setting mainly connects the downhole setting tool through the coiled tubing, reaches the predetermined position, and then puts the metal ball in the coiled tubing to form a closed pressure difference in the setting tool to drive the piston to move and complete the setting. However, the ground pump truck is needed as the hydraulic source, the construction is more complicated, and the length of the coiled tubing limits part of the fracturing construction, and the risk in the pumping process is larger. The cable pumping pure electric setting tool setting mainly connects the pure electric setting tool through the cable to reach the predetermined position, transmits the electric signal through the cable, and the electric setting tool starts to act to complete the setting, which is convenient for construction and has high efficiency.
[0004] However, the common electric setting tool does not design a motor safety separation mechanism, and there is a risk of early setting of the downhole tool caused by the misoperation of the motor during the process of pumping the tool into the well, and the setting force provided by the common electric setting tool is small, which cannot meet the use requirements of the large releasing force downhole tool, so it is urgent to design a new type of electric setting tool with low risk, large releasing force and convenient construction to meet the fracturing requirements of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs.

[0059] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The electric setting-in tool (setting-in tool) is connected with the upper end pumping cable head through the connecting head 1, the connecting head 1 is provided with the first O-shaped sealing ring 2 at the matching position of the outer sleeve 11, and the sealing of the upper end region of the electric control equipment 3 can be realized. The electric control equipment 3 of the motor transmission part transmits and collects control signals to the motor (motor 4), the clutch 7, the encoder 19 and the electromagnetic valve 23 through wires. When the motor 4 receives the running signal sent by the electric control equipment 3, the motor 4 starts to operate, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected with the input shaft of the speed reducer 6 through the first coupling 5. The output shaft of the motor 4 drives the input shaft of the speed reducer 6 to rotate together, the speed reducer 6 is a planetary reducer, and the change of the input and output shafts in the direction of 180° can be realized. After the multi-stage reduction of the speed reducer 6, the output torque is greatly improved, the speed reducer 6 is connected with the clutch 7 at the lower end, and the intelligent switching of the power between the upper end power input end and the lower end running part can be realized. The clutch 7 is always in the separated state during the downward process of the electric setting-in tool, so that when the motor 4 operates improperly, the lower end will not operate, and only when the setting-in tool is placed to the predetermined position, the clutch 7 is controlled to act, the power transmission is realized, and it is ensured that the wellbore temporary plugging tool will not be prematurely set-in during the pumping process.
[0060] The output shaft of the clutch 7 is connected with the input shaft of the ball screw 10 through the second coupling 8. The upper end of the ball screw 10 is fixed in the bearing seat 9, and the connection of the bearing seat 9 ensures the stability of the ball screw 10 during operation. The lower end of the ball screw 10 is connected with the encoder 19 through the third coupling 18, and the input shaft of the encoder 19 rotates together with the ball screw 10 through the encoder coupling (the third coupling 18), records and feeds back the number of rotations of the ball screw 10, so that the running length of the moving nut 12 is calculated, the setting stroke of the electric tool is further determined, and the setting effect is finally determined. The moving nut 12 is connected with the ball screw 10 through threads, the lower end of the moving nut 12 is fixed with the connecting sleeve 13 through the screw 14, the lower end of the connecting sleeve 13 is connected with the protective sleeve 17 through a nut, and the outer sleeve 11 is provided with the upper limit switch 15 and the lower limit switch 16. When the ball screw 10 rotates forward, the moving nut 12 moves downward, and simultaneously pushes the connecting sleeve 13 to further push the protective sleeve 17 through threads, and then pushes the plunger block 20 to move downward. When the outer circular screw 14 of the connecting sleeve 13 hits the lower limit switch 16, the motor 4 stops rotating.
[0061] The lower end of the plunger block 20 is a liquid storage area 22, and the liquid storage area 22 is filled with water, oil and the like. The lower end of the liquid storage area 22 is provided with a liquid outlet, and the lower end of the liquid outlet is connected with an electromagnetic valve 23. The outlet of the electromagnetic valve 23 is divided into two paths, one of which is connected with the upper end of an upper piston 26, and the other of which is connected with the upper end of a lower piston 30 through a connecting rod 27.
[0062] When the ball screw 10 rotates forward, the plunger block 20 moves downward, and at this time the electromagnetic valve 23 is in a closed state. When the liquid pressure of the liquid storage area 22 reaches a predetermined pressure of the electromagnetic valve 23, the electromagnetic valve 23 is opened, and the liquid quickly flows to the upper end of the upper piston 26. The upper piston 26 and the lower piston 30 move downward through the connecting rod 27. The end point of each piston is provided with a limit seat 28, so as to limit the movement stroke of the piston.
[0063] When the two-stage piston (the upper piston 26 and the lower piston 30) moves downward, the push rod 31 also moves downward. The connecting block 34 connected with the push rod 31 is connected with the cylinder body 36 through a long groove, so that the push rod 31 drives the connecting block 34 and the cylinder body 36 to move together, the center pipe 33 is not moved, the cylinder body 36 moves downward, and the well hole temporary plugging tool setting requirement is achieved.
[0064] The setting tool designed in the utility model can be an electric setting tool, and can effectively overcome the defects of the existing setting tools, and has the following beneficial effects and advantages:
[0065] 1. Adopt innovative structure assembly, design clutch 7 between speed reducer 6 and ball screw 10, realize intelligent separation of upper end motor rotation and lower end piston movement, solve the problem that tool string is temporarily plugged in wellbore due to motor misrotation in pumping process, effectively reduce construction operation risk, improve operation efficiency.
