Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oilfield downhole tools and equipment technology, and in particular to a device for quickly removing packing plugs from water injection wells. Background Technology
[0002] Accurate water injection well test results help understand reservoir characteristics, production status, and optimize development plans to improve production and economic benefits, serving as a crucial basis for oilfield development decisions. Test plug packing, as a key sealing element in water injection well testing, functions to fill equipment gaps during testing, prevent fluid leakage, ensure accurate and reliable testing, prevent external fluid interference with results, and thus provide accurate water injection well performance data.
[0003] However, in actual use, the packing plug will wear and age due to long-term use, losing its elasticity and sealing performance, requiring removal and replacement. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the packing plug is prone to expansion and deformation under the influence of fluid pressure and temperature, causing it to adhere tightly to the inner wall, increasing removal resistance, and loosening the fit between the plug and packing, significantly increasing the difficulty of removal. Existing technologies suffer from problems such as the limited space of the plug structure, the small contact area between the existing operating tools and the packing, the easy detachment of the packing during operation, the need for repeated operations, affecting work efficiency, and the reliance on operator-assisted rotation of the tool for removal, limiting applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0019] This invention provides a device for quickly removing packing plugs from water injection wells. When using this device to remove packing plugs, the sliding hammer impacts the connector, providing impact force to the insertion structure. This forces the nail head into the packing plug cavity, ensuring full contact between the tip of the nail head and the transition platform between the frustum-shaped structure and the packing. The impact force from the sliding hammer striking the handle then quickly removes the packing along with the nail head from the packing cavity. This shortens operation time, avoids repetitive operations, and improves work efficiency and the device's practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, it is necessary to understand that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "top", and "bottom" are all based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose is only to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the indicated component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a quick removal device for packing plugs used in water injection well testing, comprising an insertion structure, a central rod 3, and a sliding hammer 4.
[0027] The insertion structure is a conical structure. The diameter of the head of the conical structure is smaller than the diameter of the packing center hole, and the diameter of the tail of the conical structure is larger than the diameter of the packing center hole. The insertion structure is connected to the front end of the central rod 3, and the sliding hammer 4 is sleeved on the central rod 3. When using this device, the sliding hammer 4 slides along the central rod 3.
[0028] The insertion structure includes a nail head 1 and a connector 2, which is used to connect the nail head 1 and a center rod 3. A sliding hammer 4 is fitted on the center rod 3. The center rod 3 is connected to a handle, which includes a handle sleeve 5 and a handle 6.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the nail head 1 has a pointed tip 11, which is conical. The pointed tip 11 connects to a frustum structure 12. The radius of the base of the pointed tip 11 is larger than the radius of the lower surface of the frustum structure 12, and the radius of the upper surface of the frustum structure 12 is smaller than the radius of the lower surface. The transition portion between the two frustum structures 12 and / or the connecting surface between the bottom surface of the pointed tip 11 and the frustum structure 12 is a platform. After the nail head 1 enters the packing cavity, it makes full contact with the packing through this platform, thus preventing the packing from slipping when the test plug packing is removed using this device.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the central rod 3 has a cylindrical structure with external threads at both ends. The connector 2 is a hollow hexagonal prism structure with internal threads. One end of the connector 2 is threaded to the nail head 1, and the other end is threaded to the central rod 3, ensuring a stable connection between the nail head 1 and the central rod 3. At the same time, the connector 2 makes the disassembly of the various components of the device easier and provides convenience for subsequent maintenance of the device.
[0031] like Figure 2-3As shown, the glove sleeve 5 has a hollow cylindrical structure. One end of the glove sleeve 5 has an internal thread, and the other end has two through holes evenly distributed around its circumference. A limiter is installed next to the through holes. The handle 6 has a cylindrical structure. The handle 6 passes through the two through holes and connects to the glove sleeve 5. Its position is fixed by the limiter to prevent the handle 6 from shaking or falling off.
[0032] The sliding hammer 4 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The sliding hammer 4 is sleeved on the central rod 3. When using the device, the sliding hammer 4 reciprocates along the central rod 3, striking the connector 2 and the handle sleeve 5, providing impact force to the device. Through inertia, the packing in the packing cavity can be removed more conveniently and quickly, improving work efficiency.
[0033] It should be noted that the packing cavity with a bottom through hole diameter of 5mm was selected as the test object for this embodiment. Based on this, the nail head diameter set in the above content is 4mm and the number of truncated cones in the middle of the nail head is 4.
[0034] It should be noted that the dimensions of the packing plugs used in actual work vary, and the size of the nail head and the number of truncated cones in the middle of the nail head can be adjusted according to work requirements.
[0035] The following is a detailed description of the actual working scenario of a device for quickly removing packing plugs from water injection wells.
[0036] In actual work, the nail head 1 and the center rod 3 are firmly connected by the connector 2. The sliding hammer 4 is put on the center rod 3, so that the handle sleeve 5 is threadedly connected and fixed to the center rod 3. The handle 6 is passed through the through hole set in the handle sleeve 5 and fixed in position, thus completing the assembly of the device.
[0037] When using the device to remove the test plug packing from the water injection well, align the nail head 1 with the center of the packing to be removed, hold the handle 6 and press down to make the sliding hammer 4 strike the connector 2. Through inertia, the nail head 1 will reach the bottom. Then lift the handle 6 to drive the sliding hammer 4 to strike the handle sleeve 5. The stepped plane will bring out the connected packing, thereby shortening the operation time, improving work efficiency, and enhancing the practicality of the device.
