Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil well completion tubing, specifically relating to an integrated tubing string for oil testing and completion. Background Technology
[0002] Integrated well testing and completion tubing was developed to address the problems of traditional segmented well testing and completion operations, which are cumbersome, time-consuming, costly, and pose a significant risk of reservoir damage. In conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs and complex well conditions, multiple tubing runs not only increase operational risks but also negatively impact production capacity. This technology integrates multiple functions, including well testing, production, and even sand control, into a single tubing run. It aims to significantly reduce operational steps, lower costs, protect the reservoir, and achieve rapid, safe, and efficient extraction, making it particularly suitable for modern oil and gas field development scenarios with increasingly stringent requirements for operational efficiency and reservoir protection.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number CN203939477U, which discloses an integrated tubing string for well testing and completion operations. The tubing is connected to a tubing hanger, with one end of the tubing connected to a downhole safety valve. The other end of the downhole safety valve is connected to the tubing, and the other end of the tubing is connected to a sealing plug. The sealing plug is locked to a permanent packer via ratchet teeth. The permanent packer is connected to the tubing, with the other end of the tubing connected to a POP-V valve. The other end of the POP-V valve is connected to a screen pipe, and the other end of the screen pipe is connected to a plug.
[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: the device achieves the effect of quickly going down to the predetermined setting position by connecting downhole safety valves, packers, POP-V valves, etc., shortening the operation cycle and reducing operation costs, but it does not have an effective expansion and contraction compensation structure when the tubing is subjected to bulging or helical bending effects.
[0005] To address this, an integrated well testing and completion tubing string is proposed, which can effectively compensate for tubing deformation and enable multiple operations to be completed in one tubing run. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide an integrated tubing column that can effectively compensate for tubing deformation, enable multiple operations to be completed in one trip of tubing column, and achieve a reasonable structure and a high safety factor.
[0007] To address one or more of the above-mentioned defects or improvement needs in the existing technology, this utility model provides an integrated well testing and completion tubing string, including a first tubing string and a second tubing string. The first tubing string and the second tubing string are fixedly connected by a flange. A snap-fit tubing is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first tubing string. The bottom of the snap-fit tubing is connected to a downhole safety valve via a flange. A fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the downhole safety valve. The top of the side wall of the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first tubing string. Multiple evenly distributed sliders are fixedly installed on both the inner and outer walls of the fixed cylinder. A sliding cylinder is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the first tubing string. The sliding cylinder is located at the bottom of the fixed cylinder, and a groove is opened inside its side wall. The surface of the slider of the fixed cylinder is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove of the sliding cylinder.
[0008] In some embodiments, a sealing rubber gasket is fixedly provided on the inner wall surface of the chute.
[0009] In some embodiments, a limit ring is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the second tubular column.
[0010] In some embodiments, a support plate is fixedly provided at the top of the first tubing string, and an oil pipe hanger is connected to the inner wall of the support plate.
[0011] In some embodiments, a snap-fit block is fixedly provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the tubing hanger, and a snap-fit groove is provided at the top of the snap-fit tubing, the shape of which matches the snap-fit block.
[0012] In some embodiments, the clamping block of the tubing hanger engages with the clamping groove of the tubing.
[0013] In some embodiments, an oil pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding cylinder, and a circulation valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil pipe via a flange.
[0014] In some embodiments, a packer is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circulation valve via a flange, a screen tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the packer via a flange, and a pump-out blocking valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screen tube via a flange.

The bottom of the snap-fit tubing 4 is connected to a downhole safety valve 5 via a flange. A fixed cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the downhole safety valve 5. The top of the side wall of the fixed cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first tubing string 1. Multiple evenly distributed sliders 15 are fixedly installed on both the inner and outer walls of the fixed cylinder 6. A sliding cylinder 7 is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the first tubing string 1. The sliding cylinder 7 is located at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 6, and a groove 14 is formed inside its side wall.

A sealing rubber gasket is fixedly installed on the inner wall surface of the groove 14. A limit fixing ring 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second tubing string 2.
[0023] This device uses a fixed cylinder 6 and a sliding cylinder 7 installed at the bottom of the downhole safety valve 5, which are slidably connected by a slider 15 and a groove 14. This design effectively compensates for the expansion and contraction of the tubing caused by piston effects and temperature effects due to temperature and pressure changes downhole. This design increases the safety factor of the tubing from the original 1.3-1.5 to over 1.5, enabling the entire tubing system to meet safety standards and significantly improving reliability under complex high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
[0024] In this embodiment, a support plate 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the first tubing column 1. The inner wall of the support plate 17 is connected to the tubing hanger 3. A snap-fit block 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the tubing hanger 3. A snap-fit groove 18 is opened on the top of the snap-fit tubing 4. The shape of the snap-fit groove 18 matches the snap-fit block 16, and the snap-fit block 16 of the tubing hanger 3 and the snap-fit groove 18 of the snap-fit tubing 4 snap-fit each other.
[0025] This device secures the tubing hanger 3 to the top of the first tubing string 1 via the support plate 17. The bottom of the tubing hanger 3 is then securely engaged with the slot 18 of the tubing 4 via the snap-fit block 16. The support plate 17 provides primary support for the entire tubing string, transferring most of the weight to the wellhead. The engagement of the snap-fit block 16 and the slot 18 forms a second layer of protection, enhancing the stability of the tubing string.
[0026] In this embodiment, an oil pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding cylinder 7, and a circulation valve 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil pipe 8 via a flange.

[0028] In this example, an integrated well completion and testing string is used. The assembled first string 1 and second string 2 are simultaneously lowered into the well to the designed depth. The annulus is sealed using a positive pressure packer 11. After successful sealing, reverse circulation is initiated via the circulation valve 10 to replace the fluid in the wellbore. Positive pressure is applied to dislodge the pump-out plugging valve 13, establishing full-bore access within the string. Blowout, testing, or reservoir stimulation operations are then performed. Throughout the entire operation, the fixed sleeve 6 and sliding sleeve 7 continuously compensate for deformation caused by changes in operating conditions, ensuring the safety and stability of the string system.
