Packer in carbon dioxide flooding injection and production tubular column
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of downhole tools in oil fields, and particularly relates to a packer in a carbon dioxide flooding oil injection and production string.
Background
In the carbon dioxide flooding oil extraction process, carbon dioxide needs to be injected into oil layers by utilizing a pipe column, and a layered injection and extraction process needs to be adopted preferentially because of the difference of the permeability of each oil layer. The compression type packer is needed in the layered injection and production process pipe column, the setting principle of the compression type packer is that the setting mechanism in the packer is pushed by pressing towards the central pipe, so that the setting piston compresses the rubber cylinder from one end of the rubber cylinder assembly, and the outer diameter of the rubber cylinder is increased after the rubber cylinder is extruded, thereby achieving the purpose of setting.
The packing element subassembly of current compression packer generally includes three packing element, three packing element receives the thrust of same setting piston, the compression volume that this thrust arouses is divided by three packing element average, each packing element is not compressed by the furthest in practice, every packing element still has compression room, the packing element leakproofness still remains to promote, the leakproofness of packing element is wanting to further promote the leakproofness of packing element can only be through increasing the thrust of setting piston, want to increase the thrust of setting piston, the pressure that the center tube was beaten, but the setting piston is sliding seal in the piston cover, sliding seal bearing capacity is limited (after the center tube pressure is too big, the sliding seal of setting piston in the piston cover will fail), consequently the thrust that the setting piston can give is limited, lead to current compression packer's sealing capacity to be limited, can not satisfy the airtight requirement of carbon dioxide flooding oil injection and production tubular column.
