技术领域
本发明涉及石油、天然气钻采压裂用井下工具领域,具体的是一种双级密封式金属可溶桥塞。
背景技术
为了增加石油采收率,提高油田生产效率,分层注采、多级分段压裂是特殊油层开发的有效手段之一。通常压裂时,采用桥塞密封井下套管,隔离目的层段。而可溶桥塞是一种新型的页岩气压裂用分层分段改造工具,压裂完成后依靠井筒温度及一定的矿化度液体环境即可实现桥塞本体完全溶解,确保井筒全通径生产,具有综合成本低、投产时间短、降低作业风险以及可实现二次改造的优点。
经多年发展,桥塞从铸铁可钻桥塞、复合可钻桥塞发展到可溶桥塞;而目前常见的可溶桥塞多数是通过可溶橡胶筒受挤压弹性变形,实现井下套管的密封及层间封隔。可溶桥塞的金属部件在井下一定温度、矿化度条件下,能够得到较好的溶解,最终成粉末状或细小颗粒状溶解残余物,而可溶胶筒则主要是降解成块状残余物,不仅溶解速度慢、周期长,随着下入桥塞数量的增多,溶解残余物的堆积,影响返排生产,通常需要进行钻磨通井作业,增加成本。此外,随着非常规油气藏的深入开发,对可溶桥塞的整体性能指标及压力、温度等级均具有了更高的要求,不断向耐高温、高压、快溶、残余物少等方向发展。而可溶橡胶在高温条件下的耐受性、密封稳定性等方面存在一定的不足。

锚定块1301的结构与上锁紧块601结构相似,主要是区别是长度增加,锚定齿7增多,下端锥面角度增大,即锚定块1301在图1上下方向的长度大于上锁紧块601的长度,锚定块1301上锚定齿7的数量大于上锁紧块601上锚定齿7的数量。锚定块组环13的下端面对应的圆锥形的顶角大于上锁紧块组环6的上端面对应的圆锥形的顶角。

下面介绍所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞的工作过程。
由于所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞在井下坐封锚定并承压的工作过程是先通过桥塞下放的工具串上的标准坐封工具提供一定的坐封力将桥塞丢手,并坐封在套管16内的指定位置,锚定块组环13径向扩张贴紧套管16内壁,而锚定齿7则咬入套管16内壁形成初始锚定;进而在压裂施工过程中,随着井筒内的压力持续升高,此时锚定齿7 进一步的咬入套管内壁,保持桥塞的锚定状态趋于稳定,具体如下:
1、所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞的丢手坐封
如图1所示,而芯轴2的上端和推筒1的上端分别与标准坐封工具的内工具和外工具通过螺纹连接,并通过调节螺纹旋合的距离,使推筒1轴向压紧推环4的上端面,确保桥塞的推环4与丢手接头14之间的各部件紧密配合;随后上紧推筒1下端的4个限位螺钉3,确保推筒1和推环4不会脱离。
当坐封工具工作时,外工具能够提供给推筒1轴向向下的推力,在推筒1向下轴向移动的同时,在推环4和丢手接头14的共同作用下,锥体12两端的上锁紧块组环6、限位箍环8、上金属密封环9、第一支撑环10、第二支撑环11和锚定块组环13均相应产生沿锥面扩张的趋势,且在锥体12的锥面的作用下,轴向力有一部分转换为径向力,当轴向推力达到一定值时,上锁紧块组环6和锚定块组环13外圆凹槽内的外箍环5相继断裂,随后则加速扩张,直到分别贴紧套管16内壁,锁定桥塞的坐封位置。桥塞锁定后,再进一步的,在坐封工具提供的轴向力作用下,芯轴2受到的轴向压力将丢手接头14的内螺纹瞬间剪断,完成桥塞的丢手坐封。完成丢手坐封后,推筒1、推环4和芯轴2随坐封工具(内工具)被提出井口,可重复使用。
2、所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞的密封承压
如图2所示,所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞在井下指定位置完成初始锚定和坐封,各部件完成锁定后;根据压裂施工工艺要求,从井口投放可溶球17,并将可溶球持续泵送至井底桥塞的锥体12上端的环形锥状坐封面1203处,完成坐球,封堵桥塞的内孔;实现套管内井筒的整体封堵。进而在压裂施工过程中,随着井筒内的压力持续升高,锚定齿7进一步的咬入套管内壁,实现桥塞的稳固锚定;且进一步压实金属密封环,且在内、外和锚定块的支撑保护作用下,金属密封环在理论上属于越压越紧的状态;从而建立井筒内的有效密封,完成一定时间的承压、压裂施工作业。
3、所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞的快速溶解
在完成压裂施工作业后,桥塞在井底一定温度、矿化度条件下,可自行快速溶解;桥塞本体各部件随着溶解时间会从套管内壁脱离;最终完全溶解成细小粉末状残余物。且井底温度、矿化度越高,溶解速度越快;完全溶解的时间越短。所述双级密封式金属可溶桥塞的组成部件的材料均可以采用现有材料,可溶的含义为可以溶解于水。
