Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fracturing tools for oil and gas development, and in particular to a rapid dissolution structure for a soluble bridge plug. Background Technology
[0002] Dissolvable bridge plugs are self-dissolving tools used in oil and gas well fracturing operations to temporarily plug formations and separate fracturing sections without the need for subsequent drilling and grinding removal. The rapid dissolution structure of dissolvable bridge plugs is a key feature that increases the contact area with downhole fluids and reduces dissolution resistance by optimizing material distribution and shape design. The core objective is to shorten the dissolution cycle.
[0003] Existing dissolvable bridge plugs have a simple dissolution structure design, relying solely on a static tank structure. In low-temperature or low-salinity formation water environments, the dissolution reaction rate is slow, making it difficult to completely dissolve within the preset timeframe. At the same time, existing structures lack an active acceleration mechanism. When downhole fluid flow is poor, dissolution products tend to accumulate inside the tank, forming a dissolution resistance layer, further delaying the dissolution process. Moreover, the dissolution status cannot be monitored in real time, which can easily lead to blockage of oil and gas production channels due to incomplete dissolution, reducing development efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0034] 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.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a rapid dissolution structure for a soluble bridge plug, comprising a dissolution body structure;
[0036] Accelerated dissolution auxiliary structure: The accelerated dissolution auxiliary structure is symmetrically installed at both ends of the main dissolution structure;
[0037] The dissolution body structure includes a bridge plug matrix 11, a hollow skeleton 12, radial dissolution holes 13, and axial flow channels 14.
[0038] The hollow skeleton 12 is integrally formed inside the bridge plug substrate 11. The radial dissolution holes 13 are evenly opened on the side wall of the bridge plug substrate 11. The axial flow channel 14 is opened through the central axis of the bridge plug substrate 11, and the axial flow channel 14 and the radial dissolution holes 13 are interconnected.
[0039] The dissolvable main structure also includes a segmented connector 15 and a dissolvable pin 16;
[0040] The segmented connector 15 is fixedly connected to both ends of the bridge plug base 11 by a soluble pin 16, and the segmented connector 15 has a through hole corresponding to the axial flow channel 14.
[0041] During fracturing operations, the bridge plug is seated at a predetermined layer, and the axial flow channel 14 serves as a flow channel for fracturing fluid. After fracturing is completed, the downhole fluid permeates into the hollow skeleton 12 through the radial dissolution holes 13, forming a multi-dimensional dissolution interface. As dissolution proceeds, the dissolvable pin 16 breaks first, and the segmented connecting seat 15 separates from the bridge plug matrix 11. The matrix is dispersed into 3 to 4 segments, each segment maintaining a honeycomb structure, further expanding the contact range with the fluid and accelerating the overall dissolution process.
[0042] Accelerated dissolution aid structure: The accelerated dissolution aid structure includes an electrolysis acceleration unit 21, a slow-release dissolution promoter capsule 22, a one-way valve 23, and a flow guiding branch groove 24;
[0043] An electrolysis acceleration unit 21 is embedded in the node of the hollow skeleton 12. The slow-release dissolution accelerator capsule 22 is evenly distributed in the gap of the hollow skeleton 12. The one-way valve 23 is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the slow-release dissolution accelerator capsule 22. The flow guide branch groove 24 is opened on the inner wall of the bridge plug substrate 11, and the flow guide branch groove 24 is connected to the radial dissolution hole 13 and the outlet end of the slow-release dissolution accelerator capsule 22 respectively.
[0044] The accelerated dissolution aid structure also includes a temperature-sensitive trigger 25 and a pressure transmission hole 26;
[0045] Temperature-sensitive trigger 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of sustained-release dissolution promoter capsule 22, and pressure transmission holes 26 are opened at both ends of bridge plug substrate 11;
[0046] The electrolysis acceleration unit 21 is composed of magnesium alloy anode sheet and graphite cathode sheet, and the electrolysis acceleration unit 21 is electrically connected to the temperature sensitive trigger 25 through wires. The pressure transmission hole 26 is connected to the interior of the hollow skeleton 12, and the inner wall of the flow guide branch groove 24 is roughened by micro-etching.
[0047] By setting up an accelerated dissolution auxiliary structure, the temperature-sensitive trigger 25 triggers the electrolysis acceleration unit 21 to work when the downhole temperature reaches a preset value after fracturing, forming a local electrolysis cell to accelerate the electrochemical dissolution of the magnesium alloy matrix.
[0048] Working principle: During fracturing operations;
[0049] First, when the downhole pressure is higher than the opening pressure of the one-way valve 23, the valve body is closed and the promoter bladder remains sealed. After fracturing is completed, the downhole pressure drops to atmospheric pressure, the one-way valve 23 opens, and the promoter begins to be released slowly. It diffuses through the guide branch groove 24 into the radial dissolution hole 13 and the hollow skeleton 12, reducing the activation energy of magnesium alloy dissolution.
[0050] Then, when the downhole temperature rises to 50°C, the temperature-sensitive trigger 25 deforms, connecting the circuit of the electrolysis acceleration unit 21. The anode plate undergoes an electrochemical dissolution reaction, and hydrogen gas is generated on the surface of the cathode plate, forming local turbulence and accelerating the discharge of dissolution products. Even in low-temperature well conditions below 60°C, the dissolution rate can be increased by 30% to 50%.
[0051] This step allows the bridge plug to maintain a high dissolution rate even at low temperatures, overcoming the temperature adaptability limitations of traditional structures.
[0052] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a dissolution monitoring structure;
[0053] The dissolution monitoring structure includes a dissolution state sensor 31, a signal transmission module 32, a protective cover 33, a rotating drum 34, and a rotating gear 35.
[0054] The dissolution state sensor 31 is embedded inside the segmented connector 15. The signal transmission module 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the dissolution state sensor 31. The protective cover 33 is installed at one end of the signal transmission module 32. The rotating drum 34 is rotatably connected inside the signal transmission module 32. The rotating gear 35 is rotatably connected to the center of the inside of the signal transmission module 32.
[0055] The dissolution monitoring structure also includes a threaded rod 36, a battery compartment 37, a screw barrel 38, and a storage battery 39;
[0056] The threaded rod 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating gear 35, the screw barrel 38 is threadedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 36, the battery compartment 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw barrel 38, and the battery 39 is installed inside the battery compartment 37.
[0057] The bottom inner side of the rotating drum 34 is provided with a toothed groove, the rotating drum 34 and the rotating gear 35 are meshed, the threaded rod 36 and the screw barrel 38 are threaded, and the battery compartment 37 is used to provide space for the installation of the battery 39.
[0058] With the assistance of the melting state sensor 31 and the signal transmission module 32, when the rotating drum 34 is rotated, the screw 38 can be guided to rise inside the rotating drum 34 along the threaded trajectory outside the threaded rod 36.
[0059] Working principle: When staff replace the battery;
[0060] First, by disconnecting the connection between the signal transmission module 32 and the protective cover 33, rotating the drum 34 clockwise allows the drum 34 to rotate while simultaneously engaging with the rotating gear 35.
[0061] Next, the rotating gear 35 can drive the threaded rod 36 to rotate, and the screw barrel 38 can be guided to rise inside the rotating barrel 34 along the threaded track outside the threaded rod 36, which can facilitate the staff to quickly remove and replace the battery 39 installed inside the battery compartment 37.
[0062] This step enables visual control of the dissolution process, reducing operational risks and facilitating the replacement of battery 39 by staff.
[0063] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
