Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil extraction equipment technology, specifically to an integrated drilling and completion tool. Background Technology

[0002] In major oilfield blocks in Xinjiang, such as the Northwest Oilfield and Tarim Oilfield, most wells are ultra-deep. For example, in the Shunbei block, the well depth exceeds 8,000 meters. The high temperature and pressure make drilling difficult and risky. Especially when approaching the designed well depth, the formation is unstable, which can easily lead to wellbore collapse and stuck drill bit accidents, and the subsequent handling is also very difficult.

[0003] Currently, the conventional approach is as follows: if drilling can be completed smoothly, a liner is first run to support the wellbore, followed by the running oil and perforation guns. After perforation, the drill string is pulled out to enter the well completion and production stage. If drilling fails to be completed smoothly and the drill string becomes stuck near the target formation, the lower drill string is dropped into the well after the splinter is loosened, and the running oil and perforation guns are run out to enter the well completion and production stage. This drilling and completion process requires multiple trips and runs, as well as running oil and perforation guns, which consumes a lot of time and costs. Furthermore, drilling and well completion and production cannot be organically connected, as they are handled separately by the drilling company and the oilfield completion and testing company, requiring the allocation of resources from multiple parties.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an integrated drilling and completion tool. Utility Model Content

[0038] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0039] This integrated drilling and completion tool features multi-stage screen sleeves and high-strength release mechanisms, designed and installed at different positions on the drill string according to the drill string assembly, such as... Figure 1The diagram shows the overall drill string connection of the integrated drilling and completion tool. (It should be noted that when the screen sleeve is installed on the drill string in a multi-stage configuration, the first conical inner hole 41 on the selected ball seat 4 needs to be progressively enlarged from bottom to top, i.e., the inner hole d of the ball seat 4 of the first-stage screen sleeve is the smallest, the second stage is next, and the third stage is the largest.) When drilling reaches the target layer and can be completed smoothly, or when a stuck pipe accident occurs during drilling, and the multi-stage screen sleeve is located near the oil layer, and well completion and oil production operations can be carried out directly, in this case, the starting ball of the first-stage screen sleeve is pumped in from the surface. The diameter of the ball is slightly larger than the orifice diameter d of the ball seat 4 of the first-stage screen tube sliding sleeve, but smaller than the orifice diameter d of the ball seat 4 of the second and third-stage screen tube sliding sleeves. The ball can pass smoothly through the upper drill string and be seated on the ball seat 4 of the first-stage screen tube sliding sleeve. Mud is continuously pumped in for pressurization. When the pressure rises to the set value, the first shear pin 5 breaks. Under the impact of the high-pressure mud, the inner sliding sleeve 3 and the ball seat 4 move downward together until the ball seat 4 is stuck in the inverted conical groove 22 of the lower connector 2. During this process, the first pawl structure 43 of the ball seat 4 will undergo elastic deformation, and the inverted conical step 44 will contract inward and be stuck in the lower connector. After the ball seat 4 is inserted into the inverted conical groove 22 of the lower connector 2, the first pawl structure 43 of the ball seat 4 springs back to its original position. This confines the ball seat 4 within the inverted conical groove 22 of the lower connector 2, preventing it from moving upwards out of the groove. Consequently, the first radial through-hole H1 of the upper housing 1 is fully exposed, allowing for internal and external communication of the tool and opening the circulation channel. The pump pressure monitored on the ground drops significantly, indicating successful activation of the first-stage screen sleeve. Correspondingly, formation oil and gas can also enter the tool through the first radial through-hole H1, forming a smooth oil production channel. Simultaneously, the first toothed clamp of the lower connector 2... The slot 21 engages with the first circumferential groove 42 of the ball seat 4 to prevent the internal sliding sleeve 3 and the ball seat 4 from rotating. Similarly, the ball can continue to be thrown to activate the second and third stage screen tube sliding sleeves respectively, so as to expand the oil production channel of different well sections. Since the internal sliding sleeve 3 and the ball seat 4 cannot move upward to exit the inverted conical groove 22, the upward movement of crude oil during the oil production process cannot drive the internal sliding sleeve 3 upward to block the first radial through hole H1 of the upper shell 1 again, thereby avoiding the risk of the oil production channel being blocked. At the same time, the starting ball is preferably made of soluble magnesium-aluminum alloy to prevent the starting ball from blocking the oil production channel.After all the multi-stage screen sleeves are activated, the high-strength release ball is inserted. The ball is sealed at the second conical inner hole 91 at the upper end of the support shaft 9. Pressure is increased and the second shear pin 10 is cut in the same manner. The second outer step surface 92 of the support shaft 9 descends to the inner step surface 71 of the upper body 7. Thus, the flange 93 at its lower end disengages from the inner wall of the second pawl structure 74 of the upper body 7. The second pawl structure 74 loses its internal support, and the support shaft 9 slides below the second radial through hole H3 of the upper body 7. The second radial through hole H3 opens, the mud circulation channel opens, and the pump pressure monitored on the surface drops significantly. At this time, the drill string is lifted, and the second pawl structure 74 of the upper body 7 slides out of the small groove 82 of the lower body 8. The upper body 7 and the entire drill string above it can then be pulled out of the wellbore. The tubing is then lowered and connected to the lower body 8, after which oil production operations can begin.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
