Full-soluble bridge plug
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum engineering equipment, and particularly relates to a fully-soluble bridge plug.
Background
The soluble bridge plug can temporarily plug the oil, gas, water, leakage and other layers, can perform high-pressure fracturing construction operation on a producing layer on the upper portion of the soluble bridge plug, and can be automatically dissolved under the conditions of liquid and temperature in a well after the fracturing construction operation, so that a full channel of a production casing is provided. At present, the tool is mainly applied to shale gas well stratum reconstruction.
In consideration of the trafficability of the bridge plug in the wellbore, the smaller the outer diameter of the bridge plug is, the easier the bridge plug is to travel through the wellbore, and the larger the outer diameter of the bridge plug is, the less the bridge plug is likely to travel through the wellbore.
In addition, the locking mechanism is used as a functional component for preventing the rubber sleeve from retracting, a single thread structure design is adopted, the thread can only advance and cannot retreat, when the rubber sleeve is compressed by thrust, the locking mechanism enters a locking state, after the thrust is cancelled, the resilience force of the rubber sleeve acts on the locking mechanism, and the rubber sleeve is consistently in a compression state because the locking mechanism is in the locking state and cannot retreat.
Meanwhile, the technical index of the current soluble bridge plug is 130 ℃/70MPa, the use requirements of temperature and pressure are well met in field use, and the problems of most of the prior similar products are solved. However, with the change of field conditions, especially the change of dissolution parameters and dissolution time brought by construction progress, the bridge plug structure is simplified, the quantity of insoluble substances is reduced, the length of the bridge plug is shortened, and the dissolution speed is accelerated, so that the use requirement is better met.
Finally, when the bridge plug is set, the guide shoe plays a supporting role on the bottom of the slip, effective seat clamping of the slip is ensured, and in order to ensure enough strength of the guide shoe, the guide shoe is generally of a solid structure, so that the total volume is large, the contact area with liquid is small, and the dissolving time is long.
