As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
As shown in fig. 1-5, embodiments of the present invention provide a milling shoe that may be used to drill and mill a bridge plug disposed in a casing.
It may include: the shoe grinding machine comprises a shoe grinding head 1, wherein aslip 2 capable of rotating circumferentially relative to the shoe grinding head 1 can be arranged outside the shoe grinding head 1, and aninner clamping tooth 201 and anouter clamping tooth 202 can be respectively arranged on the inner wall and the outer wall of theslip 2; theslips 2 can be inserted between a bridge plug and a casing so that the inner andouter dogs 201 and 202 can be anchored to the outer wall of the bridge plug and the inner wall of the casing respectively.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the outer part of the shoe grinding head 1 is provided with theslip 2 which can rotate relative to the shoe grinding head in the circumferential direction, and theinner clamping teeth 201 and theouter clamping teeth 202 are respectively arranged on the inner wall and the outer wall of theslip 2. Thus, when theslip 2 is inserted between the bridge plug and the sleeve, theinner clamping teeth 201 and theouter clamping teeth 202 are anchored on the outer wall of the bridge plug and the inner wall of the sleeve respectively, so that the bridge plug can be fixed, the rotation of the bridge plug and the grinding head 1 is inhibited, and the drilling and grinding efficiency of the bridge plug is improved.
In general, if only one bridge plug is arranged, a grinding shoe drill is used for grinding the bridge plug, after a protective umbrella at the upper part of the bridge plug is damaged, the bridge plug loses support, the bridge plug is communicated to the bottom of a well, and the bridge plug is unsealed.
If there are multiple bridge packings, the resulting bridge packing residue will fall over the next bridge packing after the upper bridge packing has been destroyed. Then, when the next bridge plug is unsealed, the residue of the previous bridge plug needs to be crushed and recycled out of the well bore, otherwise the drilling and grinding efficiency of the next bridge plug is affected.
If the grinding shoe in the prior art is used for drilling and grinding the next bridge plug, the residual body scattered on the next bridge plug can also rotate under the driving of the grinding shoe. The purpose of breaking the remains is then not efficient or even achievable.
By adopting the grinding shoe provided by the embodiment of the invention, as the bridge plug is fixed, the residual body scattered on the bridge plug can be better crushed, and the high-efficiency drilling and grinding of the residual body and the bridge plug are realized.
In other words, the milling shoe of the embodiment of the invention is not only suitable for drilling and milling and unsealing scenes of a single bridge plug, but also has better implementation effect on scenes with a plurality of bridge plugs.
In this embodiment, the milling head 1 may be substantially hollow cylindrical, and its end portion may be provided with anotch 101, and the hardness of the end portion is large to cut and grind the bridge plug and the remnants.
In the present embodiment, since the circumferential rotation of the bridge plug is to be suppressed, the inner andouter teeth 201, 202 preferably extend in the up-down direction, i.e., the axial direction, and may be formed in a specific manner as teeth. Thus, the inner andouter clamping teeth 201, 202 are perpendicular to the circumferential direction, and the bridge plug can be fixed better.
Of course, the inner andouter teeth 201, 202 may be formed in a manner not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, it is also possible to have the inner and outer walls of theslip 2 have uneven surfaces to form the inner andouter gripping teeth 201, 202.
In addition, the inner wall surface of theslip 2 may be inclined upward so that the lower end of theslip 2 forms a tapered guide head, so that the lower end of theslip 2 is spaced apart from the grinder head 1. In this manner, theslips 2 may be easily inserted between the bridge plug and the casing.
And, the preferred quantity ofslips 2 is a plurality of, and a plurality ofslips 2 evenly arrange outside mill shoe head 1 along circumference to reach even high efficiency and bore the purpose of grinding.
In one embodiment, the outer surface of the milling head 1 can be sleeved with arotatable centering sleeve 3, the outer wall of the centeringsleeve 3 is expanded outwards to form ahoop part 301, a limited space (not shown) is formed between thehoop part 301 and the outer wall of the milling head 1, and theslips 2 are inserted in the limited space, thereby realizing circumferential rotation of theslips 2 outside the milling head 1.
In this embodiment, thecentering sleeve 3 may be substantially cylindrical and is concentrically disposed with the milling shoe head 1 and a lower joint described below, so as to center a pipe string on which the milling shoe of the embodiment of the present invention is mounted, and to prevent the pipe string from swinging during drilling and milling.
The main centering function of thecentering sleeve 3 is thehoop 301, and afirst stop step 302 described below. The principle is that hoopingportion 301 andfirst backstop step 302 are a plurality of and correspond the setting, and a plurality of hoopingportions 301 andfirst backstop step 302 are evenly arranged outside rightingcover 3 along circumference, and the outer wall of a plurality of hoopingportions 301 andfirst backstop step 302 is the arc with sleeve pipe looks adaptation to, a plurality of hoopingportions 301 andfirst backstop step 302 can hug closely the sleeve pipe inner wall, thereby realize righting the function.
Further, the first stoppingstep 302 is formed by protruding the outer wall of thecentering sleeve 3 corresponding to theanchor ear 301, and the upper end of theslip 2 can be fixed on the first stoppingstep 302, so as to limit and fix theslip 2.
In order to limit and axially fix the centeringsleeve 3, in one embodiment, the upper end of the grinding shoe head 1 may be connected with an upper joint 4, thecentering sleeve 3 may be sleeved outside the upper joint 4 and can rotate, an outer wall of the upper joint 4 near the upper end may protrude outward to form a second stoppingstep 401, an outer wall of the grinding shoe head 1 near the lower end may protrude outward to form a third stoppingstep 102, and the centeringsleeve 3 is limited between the second stoppingstep 401 and the third stoppingstep 102.
In this embodiment, the upper joint 4 may be threadedly provided at the upper end of the grinder shoe head 1. Thus, therighting sleeve 3 inserted with theslips 2 in theanchor ear 301 can be sleeved on the shoe grinding head 1 first, and the third stoppingstep 102 is fixed at the lower end of the rightingsleeve 3. Subsequently, the upper adapter 4 can be inserted into the centeringsleeve 3 and connected with the milling head 1 by means of a thread until thesecond stop step 401 abuts against the upper end of the centeringsleeve 3. By now the centeringsleeve 3 is confined between thesecond stop step 401 and thethird stop step 102, the assembly of the milling shoe of the embodiment of the invention is completed.
Also, in order to limit and axially fix theslip 2, in one embodiment, an outer wall of theslip 2 near the lower end may be outwardly protruded to form a first limiting portion, and an upper surface of the first limiting portion may abut against a lower surface of thehoop portion 301. Further, the outer wall of theslip 2 near the upper end may protrude outward to form a second limitingportion 205, and the lower surface of the second limitingportion 205 may be hung on the upper surface of thehoop portion 301.
In this way, a necked-downportion 206 may be formed between the first stopper portion and thesecond stopper portion 205, and the necked-downportion 206 may be caught in thehoop portion 301. Therefore, the upper surface and the lower surface of thehoop part 301 respectively support the upper surface of the second limitingpart 205 and the lower surface of the first limiting part, and limiting and axial fixing of theslip 2 are achieved.
In addition, the side wall of thehoop part 301 can fix the side wall of thenecking part 206, so as to form an anti-rotation effect on theslip 2.
