It should be noted that, after inflatable packer sets, need to make man-made fracture become larger by liquid being injected continuously man-made fracture, the solid particle of high strength is carried again by liquid, and this solid particle is filled to man-made fracture, the inner chamber of top connection in embodiments of the present invention, central tube and lower contact is interconnected, and internal diameter is equal.So, can not only ensure that liquid flow is unimpeded, can also when liquid carries solid particle by inflatable packer, reduce the obstruction suffered by solid particle, avoid top connection, solid particle wearing and tearing that the internal diameter of central tube and lower contact etc. does not cause, the also corresponding inner chamber damage decreasing top connection, central tube and lower contact.
When the inflatable packer adopting the embodiment of the present invention to provide carries out the fracturing of oil and gas reservoir, first the top connection of inflatable packer is connected with fracturing string, lower contact is connected with throttling sandblaster, be placed on inside pipe casing, fracturing string is extended to the above 10-20m of oil and gas reservoir (rice) place that underground distance need be transformed, with pressure break pump truck to pumping liquid in fracturing string, liquid is entered by the top connection of inflatable packer, throttling sandblaster is flowed into again from the lower contact of inflatable packer, but the internal diameter due to fracturing string is far longer than the inlet diameter of throttling sandblaster, thus at the pressure reduction of formation up and down of inflatable packer, faster from the flow velocity of the liquid of top connection importing, the pressure reduction formed up and down of inflatable packer is larger, constructor can control the pressure reduction formed up and down of inflatable packer by the flow velocity of the liquid of adjustment importing inflatable packer, to realize effectively setting of inflatable packer.
Concrete, due to three groups of inlet openings corresponding upper cavity balancing fluid cylinder 202 and formed with central tube 205 respectively, the cavity that expanding packing element 203 and central tube 205 are formed, and the cavity that lower balance fluid cylinder 204 is formed with central tube 205, then liquid imports from the inner chamber of central tube the cavity balancing fluid cylinder, expanding packing element and lower balance fluid cylinder and central tube and formed by three groups of inlet openings respectively, makes balance fluid cylinder, expanding packing element and lower balance fluid cylinder produce deformation under differential pressure action.It should be noted that, the deformation of upper balance fluid cylinder, expanding packing element and lower balance fluid cylinder is radial deformation, and normally diameter becomes large, and length diminishes, constancy of volume.After pressure reduction is greater than the first predetermined threshold value, expanding packing element, when deformation external diameter is extremely equal with this casing inner diameter, realizes setting, achieves the effect of the annular space of Sealed casing pipe and central tube, after pressure reduction is greater than the second predetermined threshold value, as shown in Figure 6, because top connection is subject to power b upwards, upper cylinder sleeve is subject to downward power c, the first shear pin then connecting upper cylinder sleeve and top connection continues stressed, when reaching the tenability limit of the first shear pin, first shear pin is cut off under the effect of pulling force, upper cylinder sleeve is fixedly connected with disconnection with top connection, upper cylinder sleeve is subject to downward power c, move down, packing element group in compression, upper packing element group produces interference fit effect when deformation external diameter is extremely equal with this casing inner diameter, in realization, packing element group sets, now, upper balance fluid cylinder sets, upper packing element group achieves the effect of enhanced leaktightness and protection expanding packing element, because lower contact is subject to power upwards, lower cylinder sleeve is subject to downward power, second shear pin is cut off under the effect of pulling force, lower cylinder sleeve is fixedly connected with disconnection with lower contact, lower cylinder sleeve is subject to power upwards, move up, compression lower rubber cylinder group, lower rubber cylinder group is when deformation external diameter is extremely equal with this casing inner diameter and produce interference fit effect, realizes lower rubber cylinder group and sets, now, lower balance fluid cylinder sets, lower rubber cylinder group achieves the effect of enhanced leaktightness and protection expanding packing element, therefore, achieves balance fluid cylinder and to set and lower balance fluid cylinder sets.After inflatable packer sets, upper balance fluid cylinder, expanding packing element contact with casing inner diameter completely with the outer wall of lower balance fluid cylinder.It should be noted that, the second predetermined threshold value is greater than the first predetermined threshold value, and this first predetermined threshold value can be 1.2 1 1.5MPa, and this second default threshold can be 7-8MPa.
In sum, due to the inflatable packer that the embodiment of the present invention provides, be provided with balance fluid cylinder and lower balance fluid cylinder, for the power that the pressure reduction up and down of balanced expansion formula packer produces, on, after the packing element group of lower balance fluid cylinder sets, there is the annular space of center seal pipe and sleeve pipe formation and the double action of protection expanding packing element, compared to prior art, improve the ability that packer bears pressure reduction, thus decrease the excessive deformation of expanding packing element and produce the possibility of wriggling, therefore, the simple packer relying on expanding packing element to cause in the process of fracturing can be reduced and lose envelope phenomenon, avoid economic loss.
What the embodiment of the present invention provided a kind of inflatable packer sets method, for the inflatable packer that the embodiment of the present invention provides, described inflatable packer comprises: top connection, upper balance fluid cylinder, expanding packing element, lower balance fluid cylinder, central tube and lower contact, described upper balance fluid cylinder comprises cylinder sleeve and upper packing element group, described upper cylinder sleeve is fixedly connected with by the first shear pin with described top connection, and it is outside that described upper cylinder sleeve and described upper packing element group are socketed in described central tube from top to bottom successively; Described lower balance fluid cylinder comprises lower rubber cylinder group and lower cylinder sleeve, and described lower cylinder sleeve is fixedly connected with by the second shear pin with described lower contact, and it is outside that described lower rubber cylinder group and described lower cylinder sleeve are socketed in described central tube from top to bottom successively.As shown in Figure 8, the method that sets of this inflatable packer comprises:
Import from top connection in step 801, by liquid, export to throttling sandblaster from lower contact, make the pressure reduction of formation up and down of inflatable packer.
Import from the inner chamber of central tube the cavity balancing fluid cylinder, expanding packing element and lower balance fluid cylinder and central tube and formed respectively in step 802, by liquid, make balance fluid cylinder, expanding packing element and lower balance fluid cylinder produce deformation under differential pressure action.
