Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil well workover technology, specifically to a downhole tubing returnable leak detection device. Background Technology

[0002] The downhole tubing returnable leak detection device is a tool specifically designed for oilfield workover operations. It is used to test the sealing of the tubing string without retrieving the tubing. After completion, the device can be returned to the surface, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. Through its innovative design of "pressurized leak detection + fluid backflow," the downhole tubing returnable leak detection device solves the pain point of traditional tubing inspection requiring the retrieving of the tubing string, and has become a key tool for efficient oilfield workover operations.

[0003] For example, patent application CN202422882496.1, with an authorization announcement date of 20241224, discloses a downhole tubing returnable leak detection device. This device includes a leak detection base and a central connecting rod inserted into the base. A retaining ball is fixedly fitted to the bottom of the central connecting rod, and an elastic air bladder is wrapped around the retaining ball. An air storage chamber is formed inside the retaining ball, and multiple annularly distributed air guide holes communicating with the elastic air bladder are formed on the side wall near the bottom of the air storage chamber. The downhole tubing returnable leak detection device provided by this invention utilizes the flexible inflation or deflation of the elastic air bladder to change the connection strength between it and the leak detection base. This makes it easy to fix and separate the leak detection rod structure from the leak detection base, facilitating the recovery of the leak detection rod structure. Furthermore, after the leak detection rod structure is recovered, there is no need to replace the construction tubing string, making construction convenient.

[0004] However, the existing downhole tubing returnable leak detection device relies on the inflation and deflation of airbags to adjust the connection strength, but the accuracy is insufficient and it is easy to cause sealing failure or recovery failure. In addition, it lacks integrated real-time monitoring components such as cameras and sensors, and cannot provide real-time data feedback during the leak detection process. Therefore, it is urgent to design a downhole tubing returnable leak detection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a downhole tubing returnable leak detection device to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] Furthermore, a support plate is bolted inside the conical shell, and a pump control module is bolted to one side of the bottom of the support plate. The pump control module is electrically connected to the control transmission module via wires.

[0010] Furthermore, a battery module is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the top of the support plate, and the battery module is electrically connected to the control transmission module, the weighing sensor, and the pump control module through wires.

[0011] Furthermore, a rubber airbag is bolted to the bottom of the conical shell, and a pump body is bolted to the bottom of the inner wall of the conical shell.

It can monitor the stress state of the sealing seat during the leak detection process in real time and accurately, reflect the sealing performance, and obtain visual information inside the well barrel through the camera module. At the same time, the control transmission module can process, store and upload these key data in real time. It effectively solves the problems of lack of real-time monitoring and data feedback in the prior art, and the insufficient accuracy of relying on a single airbag, which leads to sealing failure or inaccurate judgment. It greatly improves the reliability of leak detection and the comprehensiveness of information acquisition.

[0016] (2) The design of the mounting plate and connecting rope makes it easy to fix the leak detection rod assembly to the connecting cable, which simplifies the recovery operation of the device.

The pump control module 17 is preferably an embedded PID controller, model National Instruments CRIO-9045, and the control transmission module 24 transmits data to… The pump control module 17 sends a command to start the pump 16. The pump 16 injects gas into the rubber airbag 7 through a pipeline, causing it to expand within the limiting cavity 5, forming a mechanical lock and high-pressure seal, thus tightly fixing the leak detection rod assembly 2 to the leak detection seat 3. The pump control module 17 is electrically connected to the control transmission module 24 via wires. A battery module 18 is bolted to the outer wall of one side of the top of the support plate 15. The battery module 18 is preferably a lithium thionyl chloride battery, model Tadiran SL-2780. The battery module 18 serves as the control transmission module 24, the weighing sensor 20, and the pump control module 17. The camera module 11 is powered by the battery module 18, which is electrically connected to the control transmission module 24, the weighing sensor 20, and the pump control module 17 via wires. A rubber air bladder 7 is bolted to the bottom of the conical shell 6, and a pump body 16 is bolted to the bottom of the inner wall of the conical shell 6. The pump body 16 is preferably a micro gear pump with an oil-resistant design, model Haskel AGD-1. The control transmission module 24 issues a command, and the pump control module 17 starts the pump body 16. The pump body 16 fills the rubber air bladder 7 with fluid through a pipe; the pump body 16 is interconnected with the rubber air bladder 7 through a pipe. Body 16 is electrically connected to pump body control module 17 via wires; Leak detection seat assembly 1 includes leak detection seat 3, with a cavity 4 at the top of leak detection seat 3, and conical shell 6 is precisely inserted into the cavity 4 at the top of leak detection seat 3, with cavity 4 providing initial guidance; conical shell 6 is inserted into the cavity 4, and a limiting cavity 5 is opened at the center of the bottom end of leak detection seat 3, with rubber airbag 7 expanding in a controlled manner within the limiting cavity 5, forming a mechanical lock with the inner wall of the limiting cavity 5, while simultaneously pushing conical shell 6 upward to press against the top of cavity 4, achieving high-pressure sealing; and the limiting cavity 5 and cavity 4 are interconnected, with rubber airbag 7 snapped into the inside of the limiting cavity 5.

[0036] Working principle: The leak detection rod assembly 2 is lowered to the predetermined position downhole via the connecting cable 13. The leak detection seat assembly 1 is pre-fixed to the inner wall of the tubing. The conical shell 6 is precisely inserted into the cavity 4 at the top of the leak detection seat 3. The cavity 4 provides initial guidance. The rubber airbag 7 at the bottom of the conical shell 6 then enters the limiting cavity 5 at the bottom of the leak detection seat 3. The control transmission module 24 issues a command, and the pump control module 17 starts the pump 16. The pump 16 fills the rubber airbag 7 with fluid through the pipeline. The battery module 18 provides stable power. The rubber airbag 7 expands in a controlled manner within the limiting cavity 5. The inner wall of the limiting cavity 5 forms a mechanical lock, while simultaneously pushing the conical shell 6 upward to press against the top of the cavity 4, achieving a high-pressure seal. The sealing seat 23 is subjected to the upward force of the conical shell 6, which is transmitted to the baffle 22 through the guide rod 21. The baffle 22 presses against the load cell 20 on the support plate 19. High-pressure fluid is injected into the oil pipe for a sealing test.

The load cell 20 monitors the pressure change of the sealing seat 23 in real time, and the data is transmitted to the control system via wires. If a sudden pressure drop indicates a leak, the control and transmission module 24 records and analyzes the data. Simultaneously, as the leak detection rod assembly 2 moves down inside the tubing, the lighting 10 inside the mounting housing 9 illuminates the wellbore environment. The camera module 11 captures real-time images of the tubing's inner wall and sealing condition. These images are synchronously transmitted to the control and transmission module 24. The control and transmission module 24 integrates the sensor data and image information, uploading it to the surface system via the connecting cable 13 for remote monitoring and real-time diagnosis. After leak detection, the control and transmission module 24 triggers the solenoid valve 26 to open and release pressure, and the piston... Liquid above seat 8 flows into the area below piston seat 8. At the same time, pump control module 17 drives pump body 16 to draw back the fluid in rubber airbag 7. Rubber airbag 7 contracts and is released from the locking constraint of limiting cavity 5. Leak detection rod assembly 2 is released from leak detection seat assembly 1. Subsequently, under the buoyancy of the liquid, leak detection rod assembly 2 will rise. In case of jamming, the leak detection rod assembly 2 can be lifted and retrieved from the ground via connecting cable 13. The four mounting plates 12 at the top of mounting shell 9 disperse the traction of connecting cable 13 via connecting rope 14 to avoid entanglement or breakage underground.
