Metal sealing dissoluble bridge plug free of ball throwing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, in particular to a pitching-free metal sealing dissolvable bridge plug.
Background
At present, soluble rubber is mostly adopted to be processed into sealing materials for the soluble bridge plugs used in the market. The dissoluble rubber material is characterized in that when the temperature of an oil well is high, the rubber strength is quickly lost, the sealing capability is reduced, and meanwhile, the dissoluble capability is reduced, the dissolution time is long or the dissolution is not carried out in a low-temperature state. In addition, the rubber-sealed bridge plug has a complex structure, more parts and long size, increases the cost of the tool and is not beneficial to running the tool.
At present, the bridge plug staged fracturing adopts perforation and bridge plug setting combined technology, namely after the bridge plug is set, the cable is lifted and put in to carry out perforation, then a perforation tool and a setting tool are taken out of an oil well, a sealing ball is put in during fracturing to plug a central channel of the bridge plug, and two problems mainly exist: firstly, the ball throwing reduces the operation efficiency and wastes liquid for pumping the ball; the setting condition of the bridge plug cannot be verified.
In addition, the soluble bridge plug sealing parts in the prior art are all made of rubber materials, the application range is limited, the number of structural parts is large, the design has defects, the length is long, the inner diameter is small, and the soluble bridge plug sealing parts are not required to be inserted. Need drop into the central channel of a ball shutoff bridge plug from the well head after the bridge plug sets up to seal, can not verify the setting condition of bridge plug simultaneously, influenced work efficiency and fracturing effect.
