Currently, after the downhole tools are manufactured, they can only undergo internal pressure testing in the factory and cannot simulate actual use. Some existing well simulation devices can only test under normal temperature and pressure environments, and some devices can provide unstable high-pressure and high-temperature environments, but cannot provide a continuous high-temperature and high-pressure environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-temperature and high-pressure simulation test well device for downhole tool testing, which can provide a continuous high-temperature and high-pressure environment, thereby enabling the testing of the high-temperature and high-pressure performance of downhole tools at the surface.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:

[0005] A high-temperature and high-pressure simulation test well device for downhole tool testing includes a well casing. The well casing is connected to a pressurization system and a heating system via pipelines. The well casing is used to place the downhole tool to be tested. The pressurization system and the heating system are used to provide a high-pressure and high-temperature environment for the well casing, respectively.

[0006] The wellbore includes a flanged straight pipe, and a heat transfer oil sleeve is fitted over the flanged straight pipe. Both are cylindrical and are welded together to form a two-layer wellbore. The upper and lower ends of the flanged straight pipe are respectively connected to an upper blind flange and a lower blind flange. An oil pipe hanger is connected to the center of the lower end of the upper blind flange, and a coupling is connected to the lower end of the oil pipe hanger. The wellbore is also equipped with a pressure inlet and a fluid inlet.

[0007] The features of this utility model also include:

[0010] The lower blind flange is connected to a base, and the two are welded together to form a whole. The base is fixed to the ground with anchor bolts.

[0011] Two eye bolts are installed at the upper end of the upper blind flange.

[0012] Temperature sensor connection terminals are installed at the upper, middle and lower parts of the side wall of the heat transfer oil cylinder.

[0013] There are three pressure inlets: one through the center of the upper blind flange, and two at the top and bottom of the straight pipe sidewall of the flange; and pressure relief holes are provided on the opposite sidewalls of the two pressure inlets on the straight pipe sidewall of the flange.

[0014] The pressurization system is an ultra-high pressure liquid testing system, which is connected to the wellbore through pipelines to three pressure inlets to control the pressure of the central tubing and the upper and lower end casing pressure of the downhole tool to be tested.

[0018] (1) The wellbore in the test well device of this utility model has a two-layer structure. The internal structure provides a simulated well environment and is designed to withstand a pressure of 140MPa.

It can provide a high-temperature and high-pressure simulated environment at the same time.

[0019] (2) The lower end of the upper blind flange of the wellbore of this utility model is connected to the tubing hanger.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This utility model relates to a high-temperature and high-pressure simulation test well device for downhole tool testing, comprising three parts: a wellbore, a pressurization system, and a heating system. The wellbore is used to place the downhole tool to be tested, the pressurization system is used to provide a high-pressure environment for the wellbore, and the heating system is used to provide a high-temperature environment for the wellbore.

[0029] The structure of the well shaft is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a flanged straight pipe 7 for holding the tool to be tested. A heat transfer oil cylinder 3 is fitted over the flanged straight pipe 7. During use, the heat transfer oil circulates within the heat transfer oil cylinder 3 to provide a high-temperature environment. Both the flanged straight pipe 7 and the heat transfer oil cylinder 3 are cylindrical, and they are welded together to form two layers of well casing, constituting the simulated well casing body.

[0030] The lower end of the flange straight pipe 7 is connected to the lower blind flange 4, and the two are fastened together by double anchor bolts 12 and nuts 13. The lower end of the lower blind flange 4 is connected to the base 2, and the two are welded together to form a whole. The base 2 is fixed to the ground by anchor bolts.

[0031] The upper end of the flange straight pipe 7 is connected to the upper blind flange 1, and the two are fastened together by double bolts 12 and nuts 13. At the center of the lower end of the upper blind flange 1, a tubing hanger 6 is connected, and the two are tightened together by a compression nut 5, and sealed together by an O-ring 10. The lower end of the tubing hanger 6 is connected to a coupling 8, which is used to connect the downhole tool to be inspected.

[0032] Two lifting eye bolts 9 are provided at the upper end of the upper blind flange 1 for easy lifting. Sealing steel rings 11 are provided between the flange straight pipe 7 and the upper blind flange 1, and between the flange straight pipe 7 and the lower blind flange 4, for sealing purposes.

[0033] Temperature sensor connection terminals 14 are provided at the upper, middle and lower parts of the side wall of the heat transfer oil cylinder 3, which are used to connect temperature sensors to monitor the heating temperature of the wellbore in real time during detection.

[0034] The upper blind flange 1 has a pressure inlet 15 extending axially through its center. During testing, gas or liquid enters the flange straight pipe 7 through the pressure inlet 15, via the tubing hanger 6, to create the high-pressure environment required for testing. Additionally, pressure inlets 15 are also located at the upper and lower ends of the flange straight pipe 7's sidewall. During testing, gas or liquid enters the flange straight pipe 7 through these two pressure inlets 15. The pressure inlets 15 of the upper blind flange 1 and the pressure inlets 15 at the upper and lower ends of the flange straight pipe 7 correspond to the central tubing pressure and the upper and lower sleeve pressure of the downhole tool to be tested, respectively. Pressure relief holes 16 are also provided on the opposite sidewalls of the two pressure inlets 15 on the flange straight pipe 7's sidewall to discharge gas or liquid when the pressure is too high.

[0035] Both the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the heat transfer oil cylinder 3 are provided with liquid inlet holes 17, through which heat transfer oil enters the heat transfer oil cylinder 3; an exhaust port 18 is provided on the opposite side wall of the upper liquid inlet hole 17, and an exhaust valve is installed at the exhaust port 18 to discharge the gas in the heat transfer oil cylinder 3; a drain port 19 is provided on the opposite side wall of the lower liquid inlet hole 17, and a drain valve is installed at the drain port 19 for replacing the heat transfer oil.

[0036] The pressurization system is an ultra-high pressure liquid testing system, which is connected to the wellbore through three pressure inlets 15 via pipelines. These inlets are used to control the pressure of the central tubing and the upper and lower casing pressures of the downhole tool under test. The ultra-high pressure liquid testing system consists of a drive gas circuit and a pressurization liquid circuit. The gas-driven liquid pump in the drive gas circuit is the core device, using a drive gas source as the power source and heat transfer oil as the working medium. A shut-off valve is installed at the pressurization outlet, and the output pressure is controlled by a manual pressure reducing valve for the drive gas.

[0037] The ultra-high pressure fluid testing system fills the downhole tool under test with the high-pressure fluid required for the test. Once the required pressure in the upper and lower chambers and the central tubing of the downhole tool reaches the set value, the fluid supply valves in the upper and lower chambers and the central tubing are automatically closed, and the booster pump stops working. After the hydraulic test is completed, the fluid is discharged through the pressure relief hole 16.

[0038] The heating system is a heat transfer oil heating and circulation insulation system, which is connected to the wellbore through two inlet ports 17 via pipelines. The system mainly consists of an expansion tank, a pipeline heater, a high-temperature circulating oil pump, and an electrical control system, forming a closed-loop circulation system. Heat transfer oil is injected into the system through the high-level expansion tank, then pumped into the electric heater via the main circulation pipeline. After heating, it is sent to the wellbore and then back into the electric heater via the main circulation pipeline, thus forming a closed-loop circulation to achieve the purpose of heating and insulating the simulated test wellbore to reach the required test temperature. The heating temperature and heating rate can be set according to the process requirements. Once the set temperature is reached, the heating system enters an automatic insulation program.
