Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil casing structure technology, and in particular to a direct-connection special snap-fit ​​oil casing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the oil casing used in engineering typically includes two types: direct connection type and coupling type. Direct connection type does not require coupling and is directly connected using the pipes; coupling type requires coupling and is connected between the two pipes using coupling. Due to its structural feature of a smaller outer diameter of the joint compared to the coupling outer diameter of conventional oil casing, direct connection type oil casing is widely used in wells with small diameters, situations where running-in encounters jamming, and relatively difficult operations such as window drilling and old well repair. It is beneficial for downhole operations such as running-in and cementing.

[0003] However, current direct-connection casing lifting systems mostly use safety slips or drill pipe lifting joints, lacking dedicated lifting joints. Using safety slips is cumbersome and inefficient, and in deep wells, it can damage the casing. Drill pipe lifting joints are also bulky and inconvenient to operate. Existing standard cementing heads connect to the casing string using API standard round threads or trapezoidal threads, which cannot be directly connected to special threads. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the technical problems mentioned in the background art above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a direct connection type special threaded oil sleeve.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This application provides a direct-connection special oil casing, including one or more direct-connection pipes connected end to end and a multi-functional cementing joint connected to the leftmost direct-connection pipe.

[0007] The left end of the straight-connected pipe has an external thread structure, and the right end has an internal thread structure;

[0008] The multi-functional cementing connector includes an upper connecting structure at the left end, a lower connecting structure at the right end, and a central support ring at the middle. The upper connecting structure has an external thread on its outer circumferential surface and an internal thread on its inner circumferential surface. The lower connecting structure includes a lower internal thread, an inner sealing cone surface, and an inner secondary sealing shoulder. The depth of the lower connecting structure is less than the length of the external thread structure.

[0009] The external thread structure includes, from the outside to the inside, an outer secondary sealing shoulder, an outer sealing conical surface, a first external thread, an outer cylindrical plane, and an outer main sealing shoulder.

[0010] The internal thread structure includes, from the outside to the inside, an inner main sealing shoulder, an inner cylindrical plane, a first internal thread, an inner sealing cone surface, and an inner secondary sealing shoulder;

[0011] When connected, the external thread structure of one straight-connect special oil sleeve is screwed to the internal thread structure of another straight-connect special oil sleeve.

[0012] When the external thread structure and the internal thread structure are screwed together, the first external thread of the external thread structure is screwed into the first internal thread of the internal thread structure. As it is tightened, the external sealing cone surface and the external main sealing shoulder gradually come into contact with the internal sealing cone surface and the internal main sealing shoulder, respectively, until an interference fit is formed. The external secondary sealing shoulder and the internal secondary sealing shoulder are in clearance fit, with a clearance of S=0.03~0.10mm.

[0013] The external thread of the connector on the outer circumferential surface of the upper connecting structure is an API standard round thread, and the internal thread of the connector on the inner circumferential surface is an API standard trapezoidal thread, or the external thread of the connector is an API standard trapezoidal thread and the internal thread of the connector is an API standard round thread.

[0014] The pitch of the first internal thread and the first external thread is 5.08 mm, the included angle of the bearing surface is 10°, the included angle of the guide surface is 3°, and the taper is 0.0625~0.0833 mm / mm.

[0015] The outer diameter of the direct connection pipe is 114.3~339.7mm, and the outer diameter of the pipe is equal to the outer diameter of the multi-functional cementing joint, which is less than the outer diameter of the central support ring. The inner diameter of the pipe is equal to the inner diameter of the multi-functional cementing joint.

[0016] The outer circumference of the central support ring is provided with a wrench socket, the depth of which is ≤ (outer diameter of the central support ring - outer diameter of the multi-functional cementing connector) / 2.

[0017] The multi-functional cementing joint is made of aluminum alloy.

[0018] Among them, the internal threads, internal sealing cone surface, and internal main sealing shoulder of the lower connection structure are copper plated.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. Compared with the direct connection type and coupling type used in traditional technologies, the outer diameter of this utility model is much smaller, consistent with the outer diameter of the casing, which greatly increases the annular clearance of the wellbore and fully meets the needs of special working conditions such as small wellbore, blockage during running-in, and difficult operation, such as window-opening side-drilling and old well repair. This utility model adopts a multi-functional cementing joint design, which can not only play the role of lifting the short section, but also directly connect the cement head for easy subsequent circulation cementing. It is multi-functional, saves costs and improves construction efficiency, and is easy to promote and use in the industry.

[0021] 2. This utility model adopts a design with the same outer diameter and the same inner diameter, and the inner and outer surfaces are flush, which reduces hydraulic pressure loss, improves construction efficiency, and facilitates subsequent well operations. Attached Figure Description
