[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese invention patent application with application number 202311793614.5 filed on December 25, 2023, and cites the entire contents disclosed in the above patent application as part of this application. Technical Field
[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of oil development, in particular to the field of oil perforation completion technology, and in particular to a perforating instrument based on a cable-free connection and a perforating method. Background Art
[0004] Throughout the oil development process, perforating technology is a crucial component of well completion. Traditional perforating operations often utilize cables or continuous tubing for manual operation of downhole tools, but this is time-consuming, inefficient, and costly. For example, existing technologies typically utilize cable connections or continuous tubing for downhole delivery. In these methods, controlling the downhole rate is crucial. Currently, optimizing cable materials and increasing cable breaking strength are the primary approaches to increase tool downhole rates. However, these methods still fail to effectively control downhole speeds and address the numerous surface equipment requirements, resulting in low equipment utilization, cumbersome and time-consuming operations, high operating costs, and the inability to perform continuous fracturing operations.
[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a more efficient perforation technology in the existing technology, which has important practical value for the exploitation of oil and gas fields. Summary of the Invention

[0129] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0130] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments of the present disclosure may be provided as methods, systems, or computer program products. Therefore, the present disclosure may take the form of a complete hardware embodiment, a complete software embodiment, or an embodiment combining software and hardware. Furthermore, the present disclosure may take the form of a computer program product implemented on one or more computer-usable storage media (including but not limited to magnetic disk storage, CD-ROM, optical storage, etc.) containing computer-usable program code.
[0131] It should be noted that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. The embodiments of the present disclosure and the features described in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0132] The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution disclosed herein are in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
[0133] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a specific implementation of a perforating instrument based on a cableless connection. The perforating instrument comprises, from top to bottom at the depth of the wellbore, a data return unit, an electromagnetic deceleration unit, an explosive disconnection unit, and a perforating gun. Specifically:
[0134] The data return unit is used to collect perforation operation data in the well. The data return unit at least includes a power unit, which is used to power the perforator to return to the surface after the perforation operation;
[0135] 1 , the data return portion 1 is exemplarily shaped as a sphere, and this design makes it easier for the data return portion 1 to return to the surface within the wellbore.
[0136] The electromagnetic deceleration unit is used to control the magnetic force of the casing on the perforator and adjust the position of the perforator in the horizontal well section;
[0137] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the electromagnetic deceleration unit 2 consists of a multi-faceted electromagnet (arranged around the main body of the electromagnetic deceleration unit), a speed sensor, a current regulation chip, a current circuit, etc.; the suction force of the casing on the magnet is used to increase the friction force opposite to the movement speed of the perforator, and the current in the electromagnet mechanism is controlled according to the change in the perforator's descent speed, thereby changing the magnetic force of the electromagnet to achieve the purpose of controlling the perforator's descent speed and adjusting the perforator's position in the vertical and horizontal well sections.
[0138] The detonation disconnecting part is used to detonate after the perforating operation is completed to disconnect the detonation disconnecting part and the perforating gun;
[0139] As shown in Figure 4, the blaster disconnect unit consists of a pyrotechnic release handle 3-1, an ignition head 3-2, and a chip 3-3. The pyrotechnic release handle is located at the head of the blaster disconnect unit and is connected to the electromagnetic deceleration unit. After perforating, it is used to discard all components below the electromagnetic deceleration unit, reducing the total weight of the perforating instrument before returning to the surface, significantly reducing the load on the power unit of the data return unit.
[0140] The perforating gun is used to inject the perforating charges inside the gun into the formation.
[0141] As shown in Figure 5, the perforating gun primarily consists of a female connector and a gun body 5-1. Installed at the rear of the detonator, the gun is an improvement on the existing structure, made of a soluble alloy. This allows the gun to self-destruct after perforation, breaking into debris that is discarded at the bottom of the well.
[0142] The adjacent components are connected using trapezoidal threads. The adjacent components are joined to form a cavity extending along the axial direction. The maximum cross-sectional diameter of each component does not exceed the outer diameter of the commonly used perforating gun to which it is connected. A male connector is provided on the mating surface of one of the two connected components, while the corresponding mating surface of the other component is provided with a female connector that mates with the male connector in a concave-convex manner. These mating threads ensure radial positioning accuracy of the two adjacent components when they are joined.
[0143] As can be seen from the above description, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a perforating instrument based on a cable-free connection, which includes, from top to bottom at the depth of the wellbore: a data return unit, an electromagnetic deceleration unit, a detonation disconnection unit, and a perforating gun; wherein: the data return unit is used to collect perforating operation data downhole, and the data return unit at least includes a power unit for powering the perforating instrument to return to the ground after the perforating operation; the electromagnetic deceleration unit is used to control the magnetic force of the casing on the perforating instrument and adjust the position of the perforating instrument in the horizontal well section; the detonation disconnection unit is used to detonate after the perforating operation is completed to disconnect the detonation disconnection unit and the perforating gun; the perforating gun is used to inject the perforating bullet inside it into the formation.
[0144] The embodiment of the invention provides a perforating instrument based on a cable-free connection, which can provide the ascending power of the cable-free perforating equipment in the limited space underground, replacing the conventional downhole operation method, requiring less ground equipment, and having the advantages of simple operation, low operating cost, and high operation efficiency. It solves the problems of perforating operations relying on long cable downhole times, low utilization rate of ground equipment, and cumbersome operations for a specific number of perforating clusters.
[0145] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the power unit includes a propeller, a motor, a gyroscope, and a battery;
[0146] Referring to Figure 1, the propeller 1-1 is used to provide thrust to the perforator. Furthermore, the power unit also includes a propeller power control system, a motor compartment, a battery compartment (containing batteries 1-3), etc. The power unit is used to more accurately adjust the position of the perforator when the perforator moves to the designated operating position, and serves as the main return power device after the perforating operation.
[0147] One end of propeller 1-1 is threadedly connected to the rest of the data return module. The other end features a curved surface designed to facilitate fluid entry based on fluid flow characteristics. Bearings are also installed to secure the rotating shaft of propeller 1-1. The propeller power control system automatically controls the downhole depth of the perforating instrument by regulating the motor's output speed and torque. The instrument boasts a stable and reliable structure. Furthermore, propeller 1-1 is uniquely suited for cased and small-diameter wells. The propeller component is exposed to the downhole drilling fluid environment. The rotating shaft connects the upper connection positioning structure and coupling 1-2 to stabilize the radial displacement of propeller 1-1. Contoured surfaces are designed on both adjacent ends of propeller 1-1 to facilitate fluid flow, and C-shaped reinforcement ribs are used to secure the two sides.
[0148] The detonation disconnection part also includes: a magnetic positioning part for once positioning the perforating instrument in the wellbore;
[0149] Specifically, the magnetic positioning unit consists of a pair of permanent magnets with opposite polarities and a coil. The permanent magnet generates a constant magnetic field. During continuous logging, as it passes through the casing, coupling, and casing, it causes the surrounding ferromagnetic material to change from thin to thick and then back to thin. This causes the magnetic flux passing through the coil to decrease and then increase again per unit time, generating an induced electromotive force within the coil. This induced electromotive force signal is recorded on the logging curve, indicating the position (depth) of the coupling. Changes in the structure, thickness, and deformation of the wellbore string compared to normal casing (or tubing), the presence of holes and cracks, and the presence of downhole tools all indicate changes in the ferromagnetic material in the wellbore, resulting in obvious anomalies on the logging curve.
[0150] In metal cased wells, CCL (Continuous Current Locator) and natural gamma ray logging curves can be used to accurately verify the depth of the casing string and the formation (referred to as "depth calibration"). The collar locator can be combined with many logging instruments for logging, such as gamma ray-well temperature-collar locator combination logging, and acoustic variable density-natural gamma ray-collar locator combination logging.
[0151] The power unit is also used to perform secondary positioning of the perforator through a gyroscope after the primary positioning.
[0152] Based on the single positioning, the perforator can be roughly located at the perforating depth, but it is not accurate enough at this time. A gyroscope (exemplarily a nine-axis gyroscope) is needed to determine the descent speed of the perforator, and the perforator is accurately calibrated in depth based on the single positioning result.
[0153] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery includes at least two parts, wherein at least one part of the battery is disposed below the explosive disconnect portion.
[0154] It is understandable that this battery arrangement can provide sufficient power during the descent of the perforator and convert it into thrust to propel the perforator. After the perforator completes perforating, the detonating disconnect section is detonated to disconnect the components below it, and the depleted battery is discarded to reduce the weight of the perforator during the return to the ground. It should be pointed out that during the descent of the perforator, the battery below the detonating disconnect section should be used first, and the battery above the detonating disconnect section should be used during the return to the ground.
[0155] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perforating instrument based on a cableless connection further includes:
[0156] A fishing head is provided on the upper part of the data return unit and is used to fish out the perforating instrument;
[0157] On the one hand, when the perforator returns to the wellhead on the surface, the data is retrieved by grabbing the fishing head to complete the perforating operation.
[0158] On the other hand, if the perforator fails to complete its designated operation or an accident occurs underground, the detonation disconnector uses explosives to sever the data transmission line of the data return unit. The data return unit automatically rises to the surface with the latest data. After being salvaged from the wellhead, it facilitates surface personnel to respond to the underground situation. Alternatively, when the perforator is performing multi-cluster perforation operations, the data return unit takes on the role of data storage and transmission.
[0159] The buoyancy chamber is arranged on the upper part of the electromagnetic deceleration part, and is used to reduce the descent speed of the perforating instrument in the wellbore and provide power for the perforating instrument to return to the ground.
[0160] Referring to Figure 3, the buoyancy chamber 4 not only takes on the deceleration effect when the perforator falls, but also provides the buoyancy required for returning after the perforating operation. The effective reverse thrust provided by each buoyancy chamber is fixed, and the number of buoyancy chambers can be increased or decreased according to actual working conditions to control the buoyancy.
[0161] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG5 , a perforating gun includes: a perforating gun body 5 - 1 and a bridge plug setting portion 5 - 2 , wherein:
[0162] The bridge plug setting part 5-2 is provided at the lower part of the perforating gun body 5-1 and is used for setting the formation;
[0163] The perforating gun body 5 - 1 and the bridge plug setting part 5 - 2 are made of soluble alloy material.
[0164] The bridge plug setting section 5-2 is comprised of a newly designed setting tool, employing a pyrotechnic setting method that leverages the differential shear forces of large and small pins to achieve both setting and releasing operations. Furthermore, structural improvements have been made to the bridge plug, with a set of slips performing the operation, significantly reducing the weight of the setting tool. The addition of the soluble bridge plug setting section 5-2 to the perforating tool facilitates a more convenient bridge-and-shooting combination, significantly improving perforating efficiency and facilitating staged fracturing. This offers significant advantages in applications such as well rehabilitation and oil and gas well stimulation.
[0165] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG6 , the bridge plug setting unit includes: a powder chamber 6-1, a release handle 6-3, a push cylinder 6-5, a rubber cylinder 6-6, a fixing cone 6-7, and slips 6-8. Specifically:
[0166] Powder chamber 6-1: located at the bottom of the perforating gun body 5-1, used to provide setting power, and a first pin 6-2 is provided inside;
[0167] The release handle 6-3 is provided at the lower part of the powder chamber 6-1 and is provided with a second pin 6-4 (see FIG7 ). The second pin 6-4 is used to release the bridge plug from the perforating instrument.
[0168] The shear force causing the first pin 6-1 to break is smaller than the shear force causing the second pin 6-4 to break;
[0169] The push cylinder 6-5 is mounted on the outside of the powder chamber 6-1 and the release handle 6-3;
[0170] The rubber cylinder 6-6 is provided at the lower part of the push cylinder 6-5 and is used to seal the wellbore;
[0171] The fixed cone 6-7 is provided at the lower part of the rubber cylinder 6-6 and is used to cooperate with the push cylinder 6-5 to squeeze the rubber cylinder 6-6, and the end of the fixed cone 6-7 facing the bottom of the well is tapered;
[0172] The slips 6-8 are sleeved on the conical part of the fixed cone 6-7 and are used to seal the wellbore.
[0173] The setting principle of the above-mentioned bridge plug setting part is as follows: the gunpowder in the gunpowder chamber 6-1 is ignited, and the high-energy gas generated by the combustion enters the annulus through the channel 6-9. The first pin 6-2 (or called the setting pin, which is used to make the push cylinder 6-5 separate from the gunpowder chamber 6-1 and move toward the fixed cone 6-7) breaks first due to the smaller shear force, and the gas pushes the push cylinder 6-5 to move right (downward) (the gunpowder chamber 6-1 connects the release hand 6-3 and the core shaft 6-10, and the core shaft 6-10 has a tendency to move relatively to the left), and the fixed cone 6-7 also moves downward; since the setting head 6-11 is fixedly connected to the core shaft 6-10, the setting head 6-11 moves left (upward) relative to the slip 6-8, pushing the slip 6-8 to set; at the same time, after the slip 6-8 is set, the rubber sleeve 6-6 is squeezed by the fixed cone 6-7 and the push cylinder 6-5 for secondary setting.
[0174] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG8 , FIG9 and FIG10 , the bridge plug setting portion further includes:
[0175] The elastic claw 6-12 is arranged inside the rubber cylinder 6-6, and the end facing the bottom of the well is a claw structure 6-12-1, which is used to cooperate with the groove 6-7-1 of the fixed cone 6-7 to fix the rubber cylinder after sealing.
[0176] After the rubber sleeve 6-6 and slips 6-8 are set, the remaining high-energy gas pushes the push sleeve 6-5 and elastic claw 6-12. The elastic claw 6-12 is pushed inward along the inclined surface 6-13 in contact with the fixed cone 6-7 (see Figure 11), while moving to the right (downward), completely setting the rubber sleeve 6-6 without rebounding and causing the setting to fail. After all the setting work is completed, the push sleeve 6-5 cannot move downward, and the second pin 6-4 (also called the release pin) connecting the powder chamber 6-1 to the release handle 6-3 breaks, completing the release operation. The setting operation is complete. During subsequent fracturing operations, the release handle 6-3 and push sleeve 6-5 in the setting tool are subjected to the fracturing pressure and move downward, which improves the setting effect.
[0177] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a perforating instrument based on a cable-free connection, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0178] 1. The perforating instrument adopts a modular design of each component and is compatible with perforating guns of different specifications. It can be applied to different oil and gas wells, replacing conventional cable-connected or coiled tubing-transported downhole perforating completion operations. It has the advantages of low operating costs and high completion efficiency. It solves the problems of traditional perforating technology, such as cumbersome and time-consuming operation, high operating costs, and inability to perform continuous fracturing operations.
[0179] 2. Due to the effect of gravity, the perforating gun sinks to the bottom of the horizontal well during traditional perforating operations, resulting in uneven hole sizes after perforation, which seriously affects the effectiveness of subsequent fracturing operations. To address this issue, relevant oil service companies in the industry have designed equal-aperture perforators, but this has not fundamentally solved the problem of uneven hole sizes in horizontal well perforations.
[0180] The perforating instrument provided by the disclosed embodiments overcomes the shortcomings of traditional perforating operations. After entering the horizontal section, the perforating instrument sinks to the bottom of the well due to gravity. A gyroscope detects the instrument's position and sends a signal. This, in turn, uses a chip to adjust the magnetic force of two opposing electromagnets on the electromagnet assembly, neutralizing the electromagnet near the bottom and increasing the magnetic force of the electromagnet near the top of the well casing. Ultimately, the buoyancy and the suction exerted by the electromagnet near the top of the casing balance the perforating instrument's own gravity, resulting in the perforating instrument being suspended in the center of the casing. Perforating operations can then be performed, achieving uniform aperture perforation in horizontal wells.
[0181] 3. Innovative design of deceleration method: The perforator provided by the disclosed embodiments no longer relies solely on a single deceleration method. Combining buoyancy, propeller power, and magnetic suction, it relies on buoyancy and electromagnet suction to decelerate the casing in vertical well sections. The buoyancy provided by the buoyancy chamber is fixed. The current flowing through the electromagnet is adjusted at any time according to the perforator's descent speed, changing the electromagnet's magnetic force and, consequently, the friction between the electromagnet and the casing, thereby controlling the perforator's descent speed. When the perforator moves near the perforating operation position, the propeller begins to operate, precisely adjusting the perforator's position.
[0182] The above-mentioned deceleration method, which utilizes a buoyancy chamber and an electromagnet device in the wellbore, is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can solve the problem of uneven perforation diameters in horizontal sections. Using a propeller alone for external power significantly increases the size and weight of the battery required for the perforator, and cannot achieve uniform perforation diameters in horizontal sections. Using buoyancy alone also makes it difficult to control the perforation position accuracy, and uniform perforation diameters cannot be achieved in horizontal sections.
[0183] 4. Improvements to the setting tool utilize the differential shear forces of large and small pins to facilitate both setting and releasing. Compared to traditional ball-dropping and electric setting methods, this offers advantages such as simpler structure and operation, significantly reducing the weight of the setting tool and embracing its use in a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, improvements have been made to the internal structure of the bridge plug module. By utilizing the retractable elastic claws, the claws are embedded in the retaining ring during the setting process, ensuring effective and stable setting.
[0184] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a specific implementation of a cable-free perforating method using the above-mentioned cable-free perforating instrument. Referring to FIG. 12 , the method specifically includes the following contents:
[0185] Step 100: The magnetic positioning unit and the gyroscope of the perforating instrument position the perforating instrument according to the wellbore structure data acquired in advance, so that the current depth of the perforating instrument is the preset perforating depth;
[0186] Step 200: The perforating gun of the perforating instrument perforates the layer corresponding to the perforating depth;
[0187] Step 300: The detonation disconnection portion of the perforating instrument reduces the weight of the perforating instrument;
[0188] Step 400: The power unit on the perforating instrument provides thrust to return the perforating instrument to the surface, wherein the perforating instrument stores the perforating operation data collected downhole.
[0189] As can be seen from the above description, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a perforating method based on a cable-free connection, including a magnetic positioning unit and a gyroscope of the perforating instrument for positioning the perforating instrument based on pre-acquired wellbore structure data so that the current depth of the perforating instrument is a preset perforating depth; the perforating gun of the perforating instrument perforates the layer corresponding to the perforating depth; the detonation disconnection unit of the perforating instrument reduces the weight of the perforating instrument; and the power unit on the perforating instrument provides thrust to return the perforating instrument to the ground, wherein the perforating instrument stores perforating operation data collected underground.
[0190] The present disclosure innovatively proposes a cable-free perforating method that can replace conventional cable-connected or coiled tubing-based downhole perforating completion operations. It has the advantages of low operating costs and high completion efficiency, and solves the problems of traditional perforating technology, such as cumbersome and time-consuming operations, high operating costs, and the inability to perform continuous fracturing operations.
[0191] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the wellbore structure data in step 100 includes: the size of the casing used, such as length, connection type, etc. After obtaining the wellbore structure data, the current depth of the perforating instrument can be roughly calibrated in conjunction with the magnetic positioning unit.
[0192] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, for step 200, a perforating gun is a tool used to perform perforation operations in an oil well or other wellbore. Perforation refers to connecting the wellbore to the formation through the wellbore wall so that oil, gas or other fluids can flow into the wellbore. Exemplarily, the perforating gun includes:
[0193] The perforating gun body is the core component of the perforating instrument. It contains the detonator and the steel bullet. The perforating gun is detonated by an electrical signal or pressure signal, thereby shooting the steel bullet into the wellbore wall.
[0194] Perforating Charge: A perforating charge is a hollow metal steel bullet with an internal detonator. When the detonator is triggered, the perforating charge produces high-pressure gas or an explosion, thereby perforating the wellbore wall.
[0195] Control system: The perforating gun is equipped with a control system to control the timing, frequency, and location of the perforating operation. The control system is usually controlled by a computer or other electronic device and can be programmed and adjusted as needed.
[0196] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, for steps 300 and 400, since the perforating instrument of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not connected by cables, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the perforating instrument when the perforating operation is completed so that the perforating instrument can be returned to the ground under the push of the power unit.
[0197] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 13 , step 100 includes:
[0198] Step 101: The magnetic positioning unit of the perforating instrument performs a positioning operation on the perforating instrument according to the wellbore structure data;
[0199] It is understandable that the result of a positioning is a rough depth range, and the error is generally within 10 meters, so further precise positioning is required.
[0200] Step 102: The gyroscope determines the current descent speed of the perforator;
[0201] Step 103: The magnetic positioning unit performs secondary positioning on the perforating instrument according to the current descent speed so that the current depth is the perforating depth.
[0202] In step 102 and step 103, based on one positioning, combined with the current descent speed and the required moving distance, the time required for the perforator to further descend is calculated. When this time is reached, the current depth is the perforation depth.
[0203] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 14 , step 300 includes:
[0204] Step 301: The detonating disconnecting part detonates the pyrotechnic trigger inside the detonating disconnecting part and causes the detonating disconnecting part and the components below the detonating disconnecting part to separate from the perforating instrument.
[0205] For example, the detonation disconnection unit consists of a pyrotechnic release arm, an ignition head, a chip, etc. By discarding all components below the electromagnetic deceleration unit, the total weight of the cabin to be returned to the ground is reduced. At the same time, the number of batteries used is also reduced, which greatly reduces the load on the propeller power mechanism. The above-mentioned pyrotechnic release arm is a unique new structure, consisting of a detonating tube, an explosion-proof seal, a sealing ring, an explosive chamber, and a release arm seat. A thinned blasting point is reserved, and the release arm seat blasting point is blown off when the tail structure needs to be discarded; the sealing ring is installed at the connection between the upper joint and the release arm seat; the release arm seat has different diameter specifications, which are used to match various specifications of perforating guns, and can be applied to perforating operations in various oil and gas wells.
[0206] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 15 , the perforating method based on a non-cable connection further includes, before step 100:
[0207] Step 90: The power unit and the buoyancy chamber of the perforator control the descent speed of the perforator in the wellbore;
[0208] In addition, the descent speed of the perforator can also be controlled in the following way: according to the change of the descent speed of the perforator, the current in the electromagnet mechanism of the electromagnetic deceleration part is controlled, thereby changing the magnetic force of the electromagnet to achieve the purpose of controlling the descent speed of the perforator.
[0209] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 16 , the perforating method based on a non-cable connection further includes, after step 300 :
[0210] Step 310: The buoyancy chamber provides buoyancy to return the perforating instrument to the surface.
[0211] That is, during the process of the perforator returning to the ground, the thrust it needs is provided by the power unit and the buoyancy chamber. The number of buoyancy chambers can be increased or decreased according to the actual working conditions to increase the thrust.
[0212] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 17 , the perforating method based on a non-cable connection further includes, before step 200:
[0213] Step 190: The electromagnetic deceleration unit of the perforating instrument controls the magnetic force between the perforating instrument and the casing so that the perforating instrument is located on the central axis of the casing;
[0214] Specifically, referring to FIG2 , the magnitude of the current in the electromagnet mechanism of the electromagnetic deceleration unit is controlled to adjust the magnetic force of the electromagnet surfaces in different orientations.
[0215] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 18 , the perforating method based on a non-cable connection further includes, after step 200:
[0216] Step 210: The electromagnetic deceleration unit eliminates the magnetic force.
[0217] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perforating instrument includes at least two electromagnetic deceleration parts, respectively located at the top and top (or bottom) of the perforating instrument; referring to FIG19 , the perforating method based on the cable-free connection further includes:
[0218] Step 500: When the perforating section is a horizontal section, the two electromagnetic deceleration units adjust the magnetic force exerted on the perforator in the casing so that the perforator is located on the central axis of the casing.
[0219] After entering the horizontal section, the perforator sinks to the bottom of the well due to gravity. The gyroscope detects the perforator's attitude and sends a signal. This, in turn, uses a chip to adjust the magnetic force of the electromagnets on multiple surfaces of the electromagnetic deceleration unit, neutralizing those near the bottom and increasing those near the top of the wellbore casing. Finally, the buoyancy and the suction exerted by the electromagnets near the top of the casing balance the perforator's own weight, allowing the perforator to float in the center of the casing. Perforating operations can then be performed, enabling perforation of uniform apertures in horizontal wells.
[0220] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 20 , the perforating method based on a non-cable connection further includes, before step 200:
[0221] Step 180: The bridge plug setting part at the bottom of the perforating instrument is set to seal the wellbore.
[0222] Bridge plug setting is a completion technique used to block a specific section of a wellbore, preventing fluid flow. It is commonly used in oil well workover, perforating, and cementing operations. The principle is to place a special packer in the wellbore, either above or below the area to be blocked. The packer consists of a pipe, gasket, and valve, and controls the flow of fluid by opening and closing the valve.
[0223] During the bridge plug setting operation, packers are placed above and below the target area. Then, valves are controlled to close the packers, preventing fluid flow. This divides the wellbore into sections, facilitating subsequent operations such as perforating, workover, and cementing.
[0224] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 21 , step 180 includes:
[0225] Step 1801: The bridge plug is set to ignite the gunpowder in the gunpowder chamber, breaking the first pin in the gunpowder chamber and generating a thrust to push the push cylinder toward the fixed cone, thereby squeezing the rubber cylinder between the push cylinder and the fixed cone, causing the rubber cylinder to seal the wellbore.
[0226] Step 1802: The tapered end of the fixed cone is thrust into the interior of the slips to seal the wellbore with the slips.
[0227] In step 1081 and step 1082, after the gunpowder in the gunpowder chamber is ignited, the high-energy gas generated by the combustion enters the annulus through the channel, the first pin breaks first due to the smaller shear force, the gas pushes the push cylinder to move downward (the gunpowder chamber connects the release handle and the core shaft, and the core shaft has a tendency to move relatively upward), and the fixed cone also moves downward; since the sealing head is fixedly connected to the core shaft, the sealing head moves upward relative to the slip, pushing the slip for sealing; at the same time, after the slip is sealed, the rubber cylinder is squeezed by the fixed cone and the push cylinder for secondary sealing.
[0228] Step 1803: The second pin in the release handle at the lower part of the powder chamber is broken by thrust, so that the bridge plug is set and separated from the perforating instrument, wherein the shear force of the first pin breaking is smaller than the shear force of the second pin breaking.
[0229] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 22 , step 180 further includes:
[0230] Step 1804: The elastic claws inside the rubber cartridge are clamped on the clamping groove of the fixing cone by thrust to fix the rubber cartridge after setting. The perforating gun and the bridge plug setting part are made of soluble alloy material.
[0231] After the rubber cartridge and slips are set, the remaining high-energy gas pushes the pusher and elastic claws. The claws, under the thrust, compress inward along the inclined surface in contact with the retaining cone while simultaneously moving downward, completely setting the rubber cartridge without rebounding and causing setting failure. After all setting operations are complete, the pusher can no longer move downward, and the second pin connecting the release arm to the powder chamber breaks, completing the release arm. The setting operation is complete. During subsequent fracturing operations, the release arm and pusher in the setting tool are pulled downward by the fracturing pressure, resulting in a more effective setting effect.
[0232] To further illustrate this solution, referring to FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 , the present disclosure also provides a specific application example of a perforating method based on a cable-free connection.
[0233] S1: Determine the diameter of the oil and gas well to select the appropriate perforating tool.
[0234] According to the perforation operation requirements, determine the depth of the well and the density of the downhole fluid, modify the chip information according to the parameters, and adjust the chip positioning depth.
[0235] S2: Descend to the perforation depth.
[0236] After assembling all components of the perforator, checking the chip parameter settings, and securing the tool string, the perforator is lowered into the oil and gas well through the wellhead assembly. During the lowering process, in the vertical well section, the perforator automatically descends under the influence of gravity. The electromagnetic deceleration unit is used to stabilize the perforator's descent velocity. After the CCL detects the perforating position (using magnetic positioning technology to provide real-time control of the perforator's descent position), the perforator is initially positioned and the perforating operation begins. If perforating is required in the horizontal section, after entering the horizontal section, the perforator sinks to the bottom of the well due to gravity. The gyroscope detects the perforator's attitude and sends a signal, which, through the chip, adjusts the magnetic force of the two opposing electromagnets on the electromagnet assembly, neutralizing the electromagnet near the bottom and increasing the magnetic force of the electromagnet near the top of the well casing. Finally, under the action of buoyancy and the suction force provided by the electromagnet near the top of the casing, a balance is reached with the weight of the perforator itself; the perforator is suspended in the center of the casing, and then uses the power provided by the propeller to move forward to reach the designated position.
[0237] Specifically, referring to Figure 24, when the descent speed is greater than 4m / s, the electromagnet mechanism circuit of the electromagnetic deceleration unit is first closed to increase the electromagnet mechanism circuit current, thereby increasing the electromagnet magnetic force to reduce the descent speed of the perforator. On the contrary, when the descent speed is too slow, the above operation is reversed to increase the descent speed of the perforator. When the predetermined perforating operation depth is reached, a CCL signal is issued, and the position of the perforator is adjusted by the propeller for precise positioning.
[0238] S3: Set the bridge plug and perform perforating operations.
[0239] After the perforator reaches the designated perforating position, the bridge plug is set. After setting, the perforator's position is adjusted using propeller power, while the CCL ensures the perforator reaches the designated perforating position. After perforating, the perforating gun explodes into soluble fragments, and the pyrotechnic release mechanism is activated, discarding the structure below the pyrotechnic release mechanism.
[0240] S4: Return the perforator to the surface.
[0241] The motor output power increases, which increases the thrust provided by the propeller, pushing the data return device back to the ground, grabbing the fishing head at the wellhead, and completing the operation.
[0242] It's important to note that if the perforator fails to complete its assigned task or an incident occurs underground, the ball-dropping device uses explosives to sever the data transmission line of the data return ball. The ball automatically floats up, carrying the latest data. After being salvaged from the wellhead, it facilitates surface personnel to respond to the underground situation. Alternatively, when the perforator is performing multi-cluster perforation operations, the data return ball serves as data storage and transmission.
[0243] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a perforating system based on a cableless connection, which can be used to implement the methods described in the above embodiments, such as the following embodiments. Since the principles of solving problems in the perforating system based on a cableless connection are similar to those of the perforating method based on a cableless connection, the implementation of the perforating system based on a cableless connection can refer to the implementation of the perforating method based on a cableless connection, and the repeated parts will not be repeated. As used below, the terms "unit" or "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the system described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, implementation in hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
