Description

Lost circulation auxiliary device

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202410975135.3, filed on July 19, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of downhole plugging, in particular to a lost circulation auxiliary device. BACKGROUND

[0004] In recent years, due to strong formation permeability, fault and fracture development, complex pressure system, large span of drilling fluid density use, and other reasons, well leakage problems are prominent.

[0005] In the face of increasingly complex plugging problems, cement and consolidation plugging, as an efficient plugging method, have been widely used in recent years. Among them, cement plugging has the characteristics of high pressure-bearing capacity and compression strength, and the plugging effect is good, which can adapt to the needs of various leakage channels. Cement plugging can solve serious well leakage problems, and the technology is mature and widely used. In addition, consolidation plugging is mainly divided into high water loss consolidation plugging and chemical consolidation plugging: high water loss consolidation plugging loses water rapidly through the pressure difference between liquid column pressure and formation pressure after entering the leakage layer, and the solid phase components in the plugging slurry continuously aggregate, thicken, and form a filter cake, which further compacts and plugs the leakage channel, achieving the effect of plugging. Chemical consolidation plugging, as a temperature-controlled pressure-bearing plugging technology, can effectively solve the problem of well leakage in long open hole and multi-pressure system wells. The plugging slurry gradually solidifies under the action of formation temperature, realizing the solidification and plugging of the leakage layer. Compared with cement plugging, the solidified plug formed by chemical consolidation plugging has good drillability and is easy to process in the later stage of wellbore drilling and plugging, and will not form a new wellbore.

[0006] However, since the current plugging methods all use the solidification characteristics of the plugging layer, and the solidified plugging slurry has certain strength characteristics, if the drilling tool is far away from the plugging layer, a large amount of plugging slurry needs to be pumped, and the plugging slurry cannot accurately plug the leakage layer, resulting in poor plugging effect; if the distance from the plugging layer is close, the solidified plugging slurry is easy to fix the drilling tool, resulting in the inability to drill or repeated tripping, which causes disturbance of the un-solidified plugging slurry, affecting the plugging effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to enable a more complete understanding of the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the following will further describe the solutions of the present application. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other manners different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments described in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments.

[0035] In combination with Figs. 1 and 2, the releasing-type leak stoppage auxiliary device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a joint 1 connected with a drill rod and a delivery pipe 2 rotationally connected with the joint 1, specifically, one end of the joint 1 is connected with the drill rod, the delivery pipe 2 is connected with the end of the joint 1 away from the drill rod, and the delivery pipe 2 is rotationally matched with the joint 1. At least one cutting assembly 3 is arranged on the joint 1, and the cutting assembly 3 can extend out of the side wall of the joint 1 and penetrate the delivery pipe 2 when the internal pressure of the joint 1 reaches a preset pressure, wherein the joint 1 can rotate relative to the delivery pipe 2 under the driving of the drill rod to cut the delivery pipe 2 in an annular manner, and the cut delivery pipe 2 is separated from the joint 1. During the delivery of the leak stoppage slurry (non-cutting state), the cutting assembly 3 is retracted in the interior of the joint 1, that is, the cutting assembly 3 will not be withdrawn under normal internal pressure of the pipe, so as to avoid scratching the delivery pipe 2. After the delivery of the leak stoppage slurry is completed, the internal pressure of the joint 1 is increased, and when the internal pressure of the joint 1 is greater than the preset pressure, the cutting assembly 3 extends out to cut the delivery pipe 2 in rotation.

[0036] The hand-off type plugging auxiliary device provided by the application is used for connecting the delivery pipe 2 and the drill pipe through the joint 1, and the delivery pipe 2 can be lowered by the drill pipe to the upper side of the plugging layer, so that the plugging slurry can be accurately delivered to the leakage layer, the plugging effect is ensured, and the plugging effect is improved; and if the delivery pipe is plugged in the well after plugging, the pressure in the joint 1 can be increased, the cutting assembly 3 extends out of the side wall of the joint 1 and penetrates the delivery pipe 2, the joint 1 is driven to rotate through the drill pipe, the cutting assembly 3 can cut the delivery pipe 2 in a ring shape, the cut delivery pipe 2 is separated from the joint 1, the drill pipe can be normally tripped in and out, the delivery pipe 2 remaining in the well is broken under the cutting action of the subsequent drill bit and is circulated to the ground with the drilling fluid, the subsequent safe drilling is not affected, the problem that the delivery position is close to the leakage layer and the drill pipe cannot be tripped in and out is solved, and the plugging effect of the plugging slurry is not affected.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the joint 1 is internally provided with a ball seat hole 11 for receiving the ball 4, the ball 4 falling into the ball seat hole 11 can separate the inner cavity of the joint 1, that is, the ball seat hole 11 is matched with the ball 4, so that after the ball 4 falls into the ball seat hole 11, the ball seat hole 11 can support the ball 4, and the ball 4 is attached to the inner wall of the ball seat hole 11, so as to ensure the plugging effect. The cutting assembly 3 is located on the side of the joint 1 facing the drill pipe, and after the ball 4 seals the inner wall of the joint 1, the cutting assembly 3 is located on the pressurized side of the joint 1. With the continuous injection of the drilling fluid, the high-pressure drilling fluid can act on the inner side of the cutting assembly 3, so that the cutting assembly 3 can extend out of the joint 1.

[0038] Specifically, after the plugging slurry is delivered, the drilling fluid is delivered in the drill pipe, the ball 4 moves with the flow of the drilling fluid, and after the ball 4 falls into the ball seat hole 11, the inner cavity of the joint 1 is separated by the ball 4. At this time, with the injection of the drilling fluid, the pressure in the joint 1 gradually increases, until the internal pressure of the joint 1 reaches the preset pressure, and the cutting assembly 3 extends out of the joint 1 and penetrates the delivery pipe 2. The joint 1 is driven to rotate through the drill pipe, so that the joint 1 drives the cutting assembly 3 to rotate, and the delivery pipe 2 can be cut in a ring shape through the cutting assembly 3. The cut delivery pipe 2 remains in the wellbore.

[0039] In this design, the ball 4 is used to pressurize, the cutting assembly 3 is driven in a way of pressurizing the inside of the joint 1, the operation is convenient, and no additional equipment cost is increased.

[0040] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner wall of the joint 1 is provided with an annular protrusion 12, and the side of the annular protrusion 12 facing the drill pipe is provided with a first tapered surface 121 to form the ball seat hole 11.

[0041] In this design, the first tapered surface 121 is arranged on the annular protrusion 12 to guide the positioning of the ball 4, ensuring that the ball 4 is coaxial with the ball seat hole 11, that the outer periphery of the ball 4 is in close contact with the inner wall of the ball seat hole 11, and that the plugging effect is ensured.

[0042] In some embodiments, the side of the joint 1 away from the ball seat hole 11 is provided with a second inclined surface 13. In this design, the second inclined surface 13 can preliminarily guide the positioning of the ball 4, ensuring that the ball 4 moves towards the direction of the ball seat hole 11.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the side wall of the joint 1 is provided with a through hole 14, and the cutting assembly 3 includes a piston cutter 31 arranged in the through hole 14. In the normal state, the piston cutter 31 does not protrude out of the through hole 14.

[0044] In this design, the cutting assembly 3 is arranged in the through hole 14, which can guide the movement of the cutting assembly 3 through the through hole 14, ensuring that the cutting assembly 3 can protrude out of the joint 1 and pierce the conveying pipe 2 under high pressure. The through hole 14 can accommodate the non-protruding piston cutter 31, avoiding the piston cutter from extending into the interior of the joint 1 in the non-working state, thereby avoiding affecting the delivery of the plugging slurry and the use of the piston cutter 31.

[0045] In some embodiments, the piston cutter 31 includes a piston seat 311 and a cutter head 312 arranged on the piston seat 311, and the cutting edge of the cutter head 312 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the conveying pipe 2.

[0046] Specifically, the axis direction of the piston seat 311 is consistent with the axis direction of the through hole 14, so that the piston seat 311 can move along the axis direction of the through hole 14, thereby enabling the piston seat 311 to drive the cutter head 312 to protrude out of the joint 1 and pierce the conveying pipe 2. In addition, the cutting edge of the cutter head 312 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the conveying pipe 2, so that the cutter head 312 can rotate and cut the conveying pipe 2 during the rotation of the joint 1, ensuring the cutting effect of the conveying pipe 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the through hole 14 is a stepped hole including a first hole 141 arranged on the radially inner side of the joint 1 and a second hole 142 arranged on the radially outer side of the joint 1, the diameter of the first hole 141 is greater than that of the second hole 142, and the piston seat 311 is slidingly arranged in the first hole 141.

[0048] In this design, the stepped hole design can limit the movement range of the piston seat 311, that is, in the high-pressure state, the piston seat 311 moves towards the radial outside of the joint 1, and during the movement, the movement distance of the joint 1 can be limited by the stepped surface between the first hole 141 and the second hole 142, avoiding the piston seat 311 from being separated from the joint 1, and further avoiding the piston seat 311 from falling into the wellbore, and avoiding affecting the subsequent drilling operation. In addition, when the piston seat 311 contacts the stepped surface between the first hole 141 and the second hole 142, the cutter head 312 can extend out of the joint 1 and pierce the delivery pipe 2.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the radial inner side of the piston cutter 31 is provided with a retaining ring 313, and the outer periphery of the retaining ring 313 extends beyond the outer periphery of the piston seat 311, specifically, the diameter of the retaining ring 313 is greater than the diameter of the piston seat 311 of the piston cutter 31, so that the outer periphery of the retaining ring 313 can extend beyond the outer periphery of the piston seat 311. The inner side of the through hole 14 is provided with a third hole 143 for accommodating the retaining ring 313, that is, the third hole 143 matches the retaining ring 313 to be able to accommodate the retaining ring 313. The third hole 143 is provided with an annular cutter 1431, and the part of the retaining ring 313 extending beyond the piston seat 311 can be cut off by the annular cutter 1431 when the internal pressure of the joint 1 reaches a preset pressure. That is, the cutting edge of the annular cutter 1431 is opposite to the connection between the retaining ring 313 and the piston seat 311, so that when the internal pressure of the joint 1 reaches the preset pressure, the high pressure exerts a force on the retaining ring 313 and the piston seat 311 towards the radial outside of the joint 1, at this time, the pressure at the connection between the retaining ring 313 and the piston seat 311 (i.e. the root of the retaining ring 313) increases, so that the annular cutter 1431 can cut off the retaining ring 313, at this time, since the piston cutter 31 loses the restriction of the retaining ring 313 and the third hole 143, the piston cutter 31 can extend out of the joint 1 under the action of high pressure.

[0050] In this design, by setting the retaining ring 313 and the third hole 143, the piston cutter 31 can be protected, avoiding that the retaining ring 313 is accidentally cut off by the lost circulation slurry and pierces the delivery pipe 2 during the delivery process of the lost circulation slurry, and avoiding affecting the delivery effect of the lost circulation slurry.

[0051] In some embodiments, the pressure at which the annular cutter 1431 can cut off the retaining ring 313 is greater than the pressure at which the piston cutter 31 can extend out of the joint 1, and the pressure at which the annular cutter 1431 can cut off the retaining ring 313 should be greater than the pressure exerted by the lost circulation slurry on the retaining ring 313 during the delivery process of the lost circulation slurry.

[0052] In this design, the pressure of the plugging slurry applied on the retaining ring 313 can cut off the retaining ring 313 by the annular cutter 1431, and the plugging slurry can push the piston cutter 31 to extend out of the joint 1. In addition, the pressure applied on the retaining ring 313 can cut off the retaining ring 313 by the annular cutter 1431, and the pressure applied on the piston cutter 31 can also push the piston cutter 31 to extend out of the joint 1.

[0053] In some embodiments, a sealing member 5 is arranged between the piston seat 311 and the inner wall of the through hole 14. The sealing member 5 can be an O-shaped sealing ring or the like, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0054] In this design, the sealing connection between the piston seat 311 and the through hole 14 can be ensured, and the phenomenon of fluid leakage can be avoided, and the conveying effect can be ensured.

[0055] In some embodiments, the joint 1 comprises a first body 15 for connecting with the drill rod and a second body 16 connected with the first body 15, the diameter of the second body 16 is smaller than that of the first body 15, the conveying pipe 2 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second body 16, and the cutting assembly 3 is arranged on the second body 16.

[0056] Specifically, the inner side of the first body 15 is provided with an internal thread, which is used for thread connection with the external thread on the outer periphery of the end of the drill rod, thereby increasing the convenience of connecting the first body 15 with the drill rod. The conveying pipe 2 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second body 16, so that the end of the conveying pipe 2 can abut against the end face of the first body 15, thereby ensuring the positioning effect when the conveying pipe 2 is connected, and through the limitation of the end face of the first body 15 and the clamping ring 17 described below, the conveying pipe 2 can be prevented from moving along the axial direction thereof, thereby ensuring the conveying effect of the plugging slurry.

[0057] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the joint 1 is provided with a clamping ring 17, and the conveying pipe 2 is provided with an annular clamping groove matched with the clamping ring 17. The through hole 14 is arranged on the side of the clamping ring 17 away from the drill rod.

[0058] In this design, the conveying pipe 2 is connected with the joint 1 through the clamping and cooperation of the annular clamping groove and the clamping ring 17, and the connection effect of the conveying pipe 2 and the joint 1 can be ensured, and in addition, the conveying pipe 2 and the joint 1 can relatively rotate, thereby ensuring that the cutting assembly 3 can rotate and cut the conveying pipe 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, the side of the clamping ring 17 away from the drill rod is provided with a third inclined surface, and the side of the clamping ring 17 facing the drill rod is a flat surface, so that the clamping ring 17 has a one-way clamping ring structure.

[0060] The snap ring 17 in this design can facilitate the fitting of the delivery pipe 2 into the outer periphery of the joint 1, increasing the convenience of operation. At the same time, it avoids the disconnection of the delivery pipe 2 from the joint 1, ensuring the firmness of the connection between the delivery pipe 2 and the joint 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, the number of the through holes 14 and the piston cutters 31 is two. The use of two piston cutters 31 can avoid the situation that one of the piston cutters 31 is pushed out while the other piston cutter 31 remains in the joint 1, causing the failure of the release, and can better ensure the effective cutting of the high-pressure hose 21.

[0062] In some embodiments, the delivery pipe 2 is a high-pressure hose 21. The high-pressure hose 21 can be bent according to the shape of the wellbore, so as to be applicable to horizontal wells and the like, increasing the range of application.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the high-pressure hose 21 comprises, from inside to outside, an inner pipe 211, a sealing layer 212, a skeleton layer 213, and an outer pipe 214. The material of the sealing layer 212 can be chloro ether rubber or the like.

[0064] In this design, the sealing layer 212 can increase the air tightness of the high-pressure hose 21, so that the high-pressure hose 21 can effectively isolate the inner and outer spaces of the high-pressure hose 21, greatly reduce the leakage of the plugging slurry in the inner pipe 211 under the condition of pressure maintenance, and further improve the overall strength of the inner pipe 211, preventing the inner pipe 211 from being blown by high pressure, and prolonging the service life of the high-pressure hose 21. The skeleton layer 213 can effectively increase the structural strength of the high-pressure hose 21, ensuring that the high-pressure hose 21 has a certain rigidity, so that the high-pressure hose 21 can easily place itself in different working environments, and at the same time, avoid the bending and knotting of the high-pressure hose 21 during the lowering process, which affects the pumping of the plugging slurry, and ensures the good use effect in the inclined well or horizontal well section.

[0065] In some embodiments, the inner pipe 211 comprises, from inside to outside, a smooth coating and a silicon rubber layer, i.e., the inner surface of the silicon rubber layer is coated with a smooth coating. The silicon rubber layer can ensure the softness of the inner pipe 211, so that the high-pressure hose 21 can be inserted into a horizontal well or the like. The smooth coating can increase the smoothness of the inner surface of the high-pressure hose 21, ensuring the smoothness of the fluid flow. The smooth coating is a polyurethane coating or the like. In addition, the silicon rubber layer makes the inner pipe 211 itself have excellent high-temperature resistance, and the smooth coating makes the inner surface of the inner pipe 211 smooth, which is easy to slide off under gravity after the piston cutter 31 cuts the high-pressure hose 21, realizing the release.

[0066] In some embodiments, the skeleton layer 213 is made of metal fiber yarn weaving. The skeleton layer 213 in this design can ensure the flexibility of the inner tube 211, so that the inner tube 211 can easily adjust its shape to different working environments. At the same time, the metal fiber yarn can use the toughness of the fiber yarn to form a counteracting force with the pressure in the inner tube 211, further protecting the inner tube 211 from cracking due to excessive internal pressure, and ensuring the use effect of the high-pressure hose 21. In addition, the skeleton layer 213 in this design can be easily cut by the cutting assembly 3.

[0067] In some embodiments, the outer tube 214 includes an ethylene-propylene-diene rubber layer, a composite layer and a wear-resistant coating layer arranged from inside to outside, that is, the outer surface of the ethylene-propylene-diene rubber layer is provided with a composite layer, and the outer surface of the composite layer is coated with a wear-resistant coating layer. The ethylene-propylene-diene rubber layer makes the outer tube 214 itself have excellent wear resistance, and the composite layer can further enhance the wear resistance of the outer tube 214, and the wear-resistant coating layer makes the surface of the outer tube 214 smooth, reduces the friction when the high-pressure hose 21 contacts with external objects, ensures the wear resistance of the high-pressure hose 21, and at the same time ensures that the high-pressure hose 21 and the joint 1 can rotate relative to each other, facilitating the rotary cutting of the high-pressure hose 21.

[0068] The composite layer is made of nylon fiber and polyester resin material, and the outer surface of the composite layer is roughened for easy coating of the wear-resistant coating layer. In addition, the wear-resistant coating layer can be a Teflon coating.

[0069] The release-type leak stoppage auxiliary device provided by the present application provides effective safety protection for the risks of residual drilling tools, formation return, or flash condensation of leak stoppage slurry, that is, when a risk occurs, the ball 4 is used to pressurize and eject the piston cutter 31, and the high-pressure hose 21 is cut under the action of torque. After cutting, the release-type joint 1 and the upper drilling tools can be normally tripped in and out, the high-pressure hose 21 remaining in the well is broken under the cutting action of the subsequent drill bit and circulates to the ground with the drilling fluid, without affecting the subsequent safe drilling, and the structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the use effect is good.
