Permeable composite rubber plug for well cementation and use method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of well drilling and completion equipment in oilfield exploitation, and particularly relates to a well cementation composite rubber plug capable of being penetrated.
Background
In the technical field of well drilling and completion, a well cementing rubber plug is frequently used in an oil field, and the well cementing rubber plug is put into the final stage of a cementing process and used for scraping cement on a well wall so as to ensure the cleanness of a shaft. When the inner diameter of the shaft is the same, the function of scraping the well wall can be realized by using a proper rubber plug. However, when the diameter of the well bore or the cementing pipe column is reduced, the corresponding composite rubber plug is required to be applied to realize the function of scraping the well wall. However, the application of the composite rubber plug is not smooth on site, and various problems exist, for example, cement paste on the well wall of the small-inner-diameter shaft can be scraped cleanly, the large-inner-diameter shaft can not be scraped cleanly, or the composite rubber plug is clamped at the reducing position.
In the prior art, CN201420681345.3, "composite rubber plug for well cementation", discloses a composite rubber plug which comprises a first rubber plug and a short joint of the composite rubber plug, wherein the short joint of the composite rubber plug comprises a second rubber plug, and the first rubber plug is in plug-in fit with the second rubber plug and can be self-locked; the self-locking bumping seat is positioned at the other end of the short circuit of the composite rubber plug, and the composite rubber plug and the self-locking bumping seat can realize self-locking. The composite rubber plug has the effects that through the serial connection of a plurality of composite rubber plugs, the abrasion of a single rubber plug and the isolation problem of cement paste are relatively reduced, and the construction quality is ensured.
The application No. CN201520575560.X, a non-drilling stage cementing device with a composite rubber plug, discloses a non-drilling stage cementing device with a composite rubber plug, wherein a hollow rubber plug is arranged at the lower end of an opening plug seat, and the hollow rubber plug is fixed on the inner wall of a lower joint through a shear pin. When in use, after the first-stage cementing is finished, the flexible rubber plug is put into the well and descends to the hollow rubber plug to be compounded with the hollow rubber plug, the pressure is increased to cut off the shear pin, and the compound rubber plug descends to the well bottom collision pressure seat to complete collision pressure. Overcomes the defects that the existing drilling-free stage cementing device can not effectively scrape the residual cement slurry on the inner wall of the sleeve, and the success rate of the falling of the rubber plug and the rubber plug base to the bottom of the well is low.
However, none of the above prior arts can achieve the function of scraping the wall of the variable diameter wellbore at one time.
