Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of downhole packers in oilfields, specifically a washable packer for wells. Background Technology

[0002] Downhole packers are widely used in oilfield development. As oil and gas fields develop to a certain stage, the amount of mechanical blocking of formations and acidizing of sorting formations gradually increases. According to their application scope, downhole packers are mainly divided into two categories: oil testing, oil production, and water injection packers, and well completion, sand control, and water shut-off packers. However, regardless of the type of packer, its conventional function is usually only to seal.

[0003] For example, the publication number "CN202937224U" describes a washable well packer. It utilizes unidirectional slip support, tubing weight for setting, and tubing string lifting for unsealing. It is suitable for processes such as stratified oil testing, oil production, testing, water finding, water shut-off, and acidizing. It can also be used for backwashing operations. However, washable well packers require insertion into the tubing well to seal the well's inner wall. Water needs to be introduced into the rear of the packer because the wellbore is deep and in a sealed environment. This requires a high water pressure to inject water into the packer. Excessive water pressure forces the connection between the water supply section and the packer to withstand even greater pressure. Current washable well packer end connections rely on common pin-fit installation, which has poor resistance to water pressure, ultimately resulting in less than ideal performance.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] When using a washable well packer, the packer consists of an upper backwash sleeve, a central tube, an outer central tube, a long rubber sleeve, a short rubber sleeve, a spacer ring, a pressure ring, a sealing ring, a backwash valve seat, a backwash piston, a sealing ring, a lower backwash sleeve, a sealing ring, a cone, a centralizing slip, a slip clamp, an outer spring, an inner spring, slip grooves, a support ring, an anti-loosening pin, a swing ring, a track pin, a lower connector, a long track, a short track top dead point, a short track, and a track bottom dead point. The sealing ring is installed in the sealing ring groove of the central tube. After embedding the sealing ring in the inner and outer sealing ring grooves of the backwash piston, it is installed into the inner hole of the lower backwash sleeve. After embedding the sealing ring in the sealing ring groove of the backwash valve seat, it is threaded and tightened to the lower backwash sleeve. This assembly is then fitted from the upper end of the central tube onto the outer cylindrical surface of the central tube. The sealing ring is embedded in the sealing ring groove of the pressure ring and then fitted onto the outer central tube. The long rubber sleeve, ... The short rubber sleeve and spacer ring are fitted onto the outer central tube. The outer central tube is then connected to the upper backwash sleeve via threads and tightened. This assembly is then fitted onto the outer cylindrical surface of the central tube from the top end. The two assembled assemblies are then connected to the backwash valve seat via pressure rings and tightened. The upper connector is then connected to the central tube and the upper backwash sleeve via threads and tightened. The sealing ring is embedded into the sealing ring groove of the cone and then connected to the lower backwash sleeve via threads and tightened. The slip clamp is fitted onto the slip groove, and the straightening slip is inserted into the slip groove and fixed by the slip clamp. The inner and outer springs are installed inside the straightening slip. This assembly is then fitted onto the central tube from the bottom end and moved to the cone. The swing ring is fitted onto the central tube and symmetrical track pins are installed and moved to the slip groove. The support ring is then fitted onto the central tube and connected to the slip groove via threads and tightened. Anti-loosening pins are installed. Finally, the lower connector is connected to the central tube via threads and tightened.

[0026] The sealing tube 52 is inserted into the upper connector 4 and then fixedly connected by rotating and tightening the butt bolts 53.
