Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oilfield operation technology, specifically to a salvage tool used in oilfield operations. Background Technology
[0002] An oilfield is an underground oil accumulation area with a unified pressure system and oil-water interface, consisting of one or several oil reservoirs. It is an underground oil resource accumulation area formed by geological processes and with unified development conditions. Its scale and management need to comprehensively consider geological, engineering and economic factors. It can be divided into: structural oil and gas fields, stratigraphic oil and gas fields and composite oil and gas fields.
[0003] During oilfield extraction operations, downhole tools and equipment components often fall into the well for various reasons. In such cases, retrieval tools are needed for recovery. Traditional oilfield retrieval tools have a relatively simple structure and poor flexibility, making them difficult to adapt to complex downhole environments. When faced with curved or narrow wells, they cannot smoothly reach the designated location for retrieval operations. Moreover, some retrieval tools have poor mobility and are prone to slipping on the well wall, affecting retrieval efficiency and thus having certain limitations. Utility Model Content

This seals the installation pipe tightly with the upper connecting parts, effectively preventing oil leakage, protecting the downhole environment, and avoiding potential damage to the retrieval tool itself due to oil leakage, thus extending the tool's service life.
[0018] 4. This salvage tool for oilfield operations achieves precise power transmission and control through the connection of the hydraulic pump with the power and control lines.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a salvage tool for oilfield operations, including a main rod 1, a power line 2 fixedly installed at the lower part of the main rod 1, a control line 3 fixedly installed at the lower part of the main rod 1, a spring limiting sleeve 4 fixedly installed on the outer side of the main rod 1, a movable rod 5 movably installed on the other side of the spring limiting sleeve 4, movable wheels 6 fixedly installed on both sides of the other end of the movable rod 5, a threaded rod 7 fixedly installed on the inner side of one movable wheel 6, a limiting nut 8 movably installed on the outer side of the threaded rod 7, and an installation tube 9 fixedly installed above the main rod 1. A sealing ring 10 is fixedly installed, a hydraulic pump 11 is fixedly installed inside the installation pipe 9, and a retrieval plate 12 is fixedly installed above the installation pipe 9. First, the retrieval tool is lowered into the well through the wellhead. Since the main rod 1 is made of soft metal material, it can bend naturally according to the shape of the well, guiding the retrieval tool to the target position. During the movement, the moving wheel 6 relies on the anti-slip texture on its surface to contact the well wall or working face, providing stable friction and ensuring that the retrieval tool moves smoothly. The compression spring in the spring limit sleeve 4 pushes the movable rod 5, so that the moving wheel 6 always fits against the well wall.
[0026] Mounting seats 13 are fixedly installed on both sides above the retrieval plate 12. Retrieval arms 14 are fixedly installed on the mounting seats 13, and hydraulic rods 15 are fixedly installed between the retrieval arms 14. The retrieval arms 14 are driven by the hydraulic rods 15. The main rod 1 is made of a flexible metal material to allow it to bend better in oilfields with different environments to reach the designated location. The moving wheels 6 have anti-slip textures on their surface to increase friction with the oilfield well wall or working surface and prevent the retrieval tool from slipping during movement. The sealing ring 10 is made of oil-resistant rubber material, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the mounting pipe 9, allowing it to tightly fit the mounting pipe 9 and the upper connecting parts to prevent oil leakage. The hydraulic pump 11 is connected to an external power source and control equipment via power line 2 and control line 3. The hydraulic pump 11 is powered and its operation is controlled to provide power for the salvage operation. A compression spring is installed on the inner side of the spring limit sleeve 4. The other end of the compression spring is connected to the movable rod 5 to provide the reset elastic force of the movable rod 5. When the salvage tool reaches the position of the dropped item, a command is sent to the hydraulic pump 11 through the control line 3. The power line 2 supplies power to the hydraulic pump 11, and the hydraulic pump 11 starts to work, transmitting hydraulic energy to the hydraulic rod 15. The hydraulic rod 15 extends and retracts according to the command, driving the salvage arm 14 to perform opening and closing actions, thereby grabbing the dropped item. During the entire operation, the sealing ring 10 tightly seals the installation pipe 9 and the upper connecting parts to prevent oil leakage and ensure the safety of the downhole environment and the salvage tool. After the salvage is completed, the operation is reversed to remove the salvage tool and item from the wellhead.
[0027] Working Principle: During oilfield salvage operations, the salvage tool is first lowered into the well through the wellhead. The main rod 1, made of flexible metal, bends naturally according to the shape of the wellbore, guiding the salvage tool to the target location. During movement, the moving wheel 6, with its anti-slip texture, contacts the well wall or working surface, providing stable friction to ensure smooth movement of the salvage tool. The compression spring inside the spring-limiting sleeve 4 pushes the movable rod 5, keeping the moving wheel 6 in contact with the well wall. When the salvage tool reaches the location of the dropped item, a command is sent to the hydraulic pump 11 via the control line 3. The power line 2 supplies power to the hydraulic pump 11, which then starts working, transmitting hydraulic energy to the hydraulic rod 15. The hydraulic rod 15 extends and retracts according to the command, driving the salvage arm 14 to open and close, thereby grabbing the dropped item. Throughout the operation, the sealing ring 10 tightly seals the mounting pipe 9 and the connecting components above, preventing oil leakage and ensuring the safety of the downhole environment and the salvage tool. After salvage is completed, the operation is reversed to retrieve the salvage tool and item from the wellhead.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
