Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of downhole fracturing technology in oilfields, and in particular to a shear disc for a soluble ball seat. Background Technology
[0002] In the downhole extraction process of oilfields, the release device is a commonly used device in the oil well field. The release device is a tool that separates the downhole tool into two parts in the well. Currently, the release method using a soluble ball seat is adopted. The release rod and the ball seat are generally fixed with shear pins. When the ball seat in the well dissolves, a large number of shear pins will remain in the well, which may affect subsequent oil well extraction and is not conducive to flowback. At the same time, the installation method of shear pins and soluble ball seats is relatively complicated. Each ball seat requires the installation of multiple shear pins, which is time-consuming and inefficient in field operations. In addition, the use of shear pins also carries the risk of improper installation, resulting in low reliability. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] In the downhole extraction process of oilfields, the release device is a commonly used device in the oil well field. The release device is a tool that separates the downhole tool into two parts in the well. Currently, the release method using a soluble ball seat is adopted. The release rod and the ball seat are generally fixed with shear pins. When the ball seat in the well dissolves, a large number of shear pins will remain in the well, which may affect subsequent oil well extraction and is not conducive to flowback. At the same time, the installation method of shear pins and soluble ball seats is relatively complicated. Each ball seat requires the installation of multiple shear pins, which is time-consuming and inefficient in field operations.
[0030] Based on this, this application provides a shearing disc for a soluble ball seat. Using the shearing disc and a connecting component, the connection between the release lever and the ball seat can be realized. Specifically, the soluble shearing disc is connected to the ball seat by means of threads or adhesive. Several slots and holes are provided on the circular disc body. When a release operation is required, pulling the release lever causes the shearing disc to be cut along the distance between the slots 3 and the holes 2. The remaining parts are dispersed into multiple pieces, which facilitates drilling and backflow. Moreover, during installation, there is no need to use a large number of shearing pins, making installation more convenient and simple, helping to improve work efficiency, and ensuring high installation reliability.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a shearing disc for a soluble ball seat, comprising: a circular disc body 1; an opening 2 is provided on the circular disc body 1, the opening 2 is located at the center of the circular disc body 1, a plurality of slots 3 are provided on the circular disc body 1, the plurality of slots 3 are evenly distributed on the circular disc body 1, a preset distance is provided between the first surface 31 inside the slot 3 and the opening 2, the opening 2 is used for the release lever to slide through, and the circular disc body 1 breaks from the preset distance under the release force applied by the release lever.
[0032] In this embodiment, the circular disc 1 can be either a soluble or insoluble disc. When it is a soluble disc, pulling the release lever causes the shearing disc to be sheared along the distance between the slot 3 and the opening 2. This distance is not specifically limited in this application and can be set according to actual conditions. The remaining components are dispersed into multiple parts and can be automatically dissolved, resulting in faster dissolution and facilitating drilling and backflow. When it is an insoluble disc, pulling the release lever causes the shearing disc to be sheared along the distance between the slot 3 and the opening 2. The remaining components are then automatically dispersed into multiple parts, which facilitates backflow.
[0033] A plurality of slots 3 are provided on the circular disk 1, and the slots 3 are equally spaced. The upper surface of the circular disk 1 is set as a horizontal surface, and the lower surface of the circular disk 1 is set as a horizontal surface, that is, the upper surface and the lower surface of the circular disk 1 are parallel to each other.
[0034] The slot 3 is further provided with a second surface 32 and a third surface 33, which are arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first surface 31. A preset gap is provided between the second and third surfaces, the size of which is the size of the slot. When the shearing disc is sheared, the blocks between the two slots 3 on the shearing disc will fall off, forming multiple pieces. When it is set as a soluble circular disc 1, the dissolution speed can be accelerated, which helps with backflow. When it is set as a non-soluble circular disc 1, it decomposes into more pieces with smaller structures, which also helps with backflow.
[0035] The upper surface of the slot 3 is flush with the upper surface of the circular disc 1, the lower surface of the slot 3 is flush with the lower surface of the circular disc 1, and the inner surface of the opening 2 is set to a smooth surface.
[0036] It should be noted that the above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
