TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of jet breaking during exploitation of natural gas hydrate, and particularly to an automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate.


BACKGROUND

Natural gas hydrate, i.e. combustible ice, is an ice-like crystalline substance distributed in deep-sea sediments or in continental permafrost and formed by natural gas and water under high-pressure and low-temperature conditions, which is one of the most concerned energy sources in the world. As a new energy source, it has huge global reserves, is clean and efficient, and plays a crucial role in the future energy strategy. However, its exploitation methods are not yet mature, and the existing exploitation methods are all costly, with poor production sustainability, low efficiency and no safety guarantee, so they cannot be used for commercial exploitation. In terms of the ocean, challenges are even greater, and there is a serious lack of supporting tools and equipment.


In shallow natural gas hydrate exploitation operations in deep seafloor, in order to increase the exposed area of the hydrate and increase the mining quantity and continuous productivity, a conventional bit is generally used for breaking and axial drilling to form a pilot hole, and then injection breaking and circumferential breaking are used to expand the borehole. Currently, the jet breaking tool used in natural gas hydrate exploitation has a simple structure, which cannot meet operation requirements of solid fluidization exploitation of the natural gas hydrate. The main problems are as follows:


(1) When the entire jet breaking tool is in a normal operating state, if the flow rate of the drilling fluid fluctuates too much, the stable operation of the entire jet breaking tool cannot be effectively guaranteed.


(2) When the jet breaking tool is opened or closed, it is not sensitive to control the tool to be turned on and turned off by adjusting the flow rate of the drilling fluid.


(3) When the jet breaking tool is on, the drilling fluid may leak in an axial flow channel, so that the flow rate and pressure of the drilling fluid ejected from the jet sprinkler may be reduced.


(4) When the drilling fluid is ejected from the jet sprinkler, a natural gas hydrate layer cannot be washed more directly, and the breaking radius of the breaking tool is small.


In order to solve the problems in the existing jet breaking tool for shallow natural gas hydrate in deep seafloor, improve exploitation efficiency and exploitation quantity of natural gas hydrate and promote the commercial exploitation process, an automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate is urgently needed, so as to achieve the objective of automatically turning on and turning off the automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate according to an actual exploitation condition of natural gas hydrate. Meanwhile, the jet breaking tool can be sensitively turned on and turned off. When the jet breaking tool for natural gas hydrate is in an operating state, the opening degree of the sliding sleeve is still stable when the flow rate fluctuates, which makes the breaking operation of the jet breaking tool more stable and reliable. An effect is achieved that leakage of the drilling fluid at an axial outlet can be reduced when the automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate is on. When the breaking tool is used for radial breaking, an internal jet nozzle can be extended to enable the drilling fluid to break the natural gas hydrate layer more directly and under a high pressure, so as to achieve the objective of increasing the breaking radius and improving the exploitation efficiency.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate with respect to problems and requirements of the existing jet breaking tool for shallow natural gas hydrate in deep seafloor, so as to solve the problem of stability of the operation of the jet breaking tool affected by fluctuation of the flow rate of the drilling fluid, achieve an effect of more sensitively turning on and turning off the jet breaking tool, and solve the problem of leakage of the drilling fluid at an axial outlet, thereby increasing the flow rate and pressure of the drilling fluid ejected by the jet sprinkler and improving the breaking efficiency of the jet breaking tool.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, an automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate includes an upper joint (1), an outer cylinder (2), an inner sliding sleeve (3), a lockup sliding sleeve (4), a thrust bearing (5), a spring (6), a jet joint (7), a telescopic jet sprinkler (8), a plug block (9) and an extrusion seal ring (10), the upper joint (1) is located on the leftmost side of the whole device, the outer cylinder (2) is connected to the right side of the upper joint (1) by thread, the inner sliding sleeve (3) is mounted inside the outer cylinder (2), the lockup sliding sleeve (4) is mounted to an outer ring side of the inner sliding sleeve (3), the thrust bearing (5) is disposed on the right side of the lockup sliding sleeve (4), the spring (6) is disposed between the thrust bearing (5) and an inner side of the outer cylinder (2), the jet joint (7) is connected to the right side of the outer cylinder (2) by thread, the plug block (9) is connected to the interior of the jet joint (7) by thread, the telescopic jet sprinkler (8) is connected to an outer ring side of the jet joint (7) by thread, and the extrusion seal ring (10) is mounted to an outer ring side of the plug block (9) through a seal ring mounting groove (901).


As shown in FIG. 5, the upper joint (1) is designed with an upper tool interface (101), a diversion port (102), an inner sliding sleeve limit port (103), an upper joint thread (104), an unlocking guide bevel (105), a self-locking guide groove (106) and a locking bevel (107), and the upper joint thread (104) is used to connect to the outer cylinder (2).


As shown in FIG. 6, the outer cylinder (2) is designed with a drilling fluid upper thread (201), a spring limit port (202) and an outer cylinder lower thread (203), the outer cylinder upper thread (201) is used to connect to the upper joint (1), the spring limit port (202) is used to hold the spring (6), and the outer cylinder lower thread (203) is used to connect to the lower jet joint (7).


As shown in FIGS. 7-8, the inner sliding sleeve (3) is designed with a drilling fluid diversion port (301), a self-locking guide block (302), an inner sliding sleeve self-blocking bevel (303), a pressure balance hole (304), a discharge groove (305), a pressurization flow channel (306) and an extrusion seal face (307). The drilling fluid diversion port (301) pressurizes the drilling fluid into the inner sliding sleeve (3). The pressurization flow channel (306) can convert more fluid power into an axial thrust for the inner sliding sleeve and increase the pressure of the drilling fluid entering the inner sliding sleeve. The pressure balance hole (304) can balance the pressure between the inner sliding sleeve (3) and the outer cylinder (2), which makes the axial thrust of the drilling fluid acting on the inner sliding sleeve (3) greater. The function of the discharge groove (305) is that the drilling fluid flows through the discharge groove (305) towards the telescopic jet sprinkler (8) and is ejected out when the jet tool is turned on. When the inner sliding sleeve (3) moves downward and the jet tool is on, the extrusion seal face (307) and the extrusion seal ring (10) deform to achieve a sealing effect.


As shown in FIG. 9, the lockup sliding sleeve (4) is uniformly provided with a lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401), a lockup sliding sleeve guide groove (402) and a bearing groove (403), the thrust bearing (5) is disposed in the bearing groove (403), one side of the spring (6) abuts against the thrust bearing (5), and the other side abuts against the spring limit port (202).


As shown in FIG. 10, the jet joint (7) is provided with a sprinkler hole (702) on a surface, and is internally provided with a lower joint thread (701), a sliding passage (703), a plug block mounting thread (704), a flow channel (705) and an axial flow hole (706). The lower joint thread (701) is used to connect to the outer cylinder (2). The sprinkler hole (702) is used to mount the telescopic jet sprinkler (8). The inner diameter of the sliding passage (703) is the same as the outer diameter of the lower end of the inner sliding sleeve (3), and the two match with each other to achieve the purpose of sealing. The plug block mounting thread (704) is used to mount the plug block (9). When the inner sliding sleeve (3) is unlocked, the drilling fluid can be circulated in the flow channel (705). The axial flow hole (706) can make the diffusion radius of the drilling fluid flowing through the flow channel (705) larger, which achieves a good breaking drilling effect.


As shown in FIGS. 11-12, the telescopic jet sprinkler (8) is provided with a jet nozzle (801), a nozzle limit surface (802), a nozzle spring limit surface (803), a nozzle pressurization flow channel (804), a nozzle spring (805), a spring limit block (806), and a jet sprinkler thread (807). The jet nozzle (801) is internally provided with the nozzle pressurization flow channel (804) to increase the pressure of the drilling fluid. The function of the nozzle limit surface (802) is to hold the jet nozzle (801) when the jet nozzle (801) rebounds. The nozzle spring (805) is mounted to an outer ring side of the jet nozzle (801), and simultaneously holds the nozzle spring limit surface (803) and the spring limit block (806). The spring limit block (806) is connected to the jet nozzle (801) by thread. When the jet breaking tool is on, the drilling fluid is ejected from the telescopic jet sprinkler (8). Under the pressure of the drilling fluid, the jet nozzle (801) overcomes an elastic force of the nozzle spring (805) to extend outward, making the breaking radius of the jet breaking tool larger and the exploitation efficiency higher. When the jet breaking tool is off, no drilling fluid passes through the jet nozzle (801), and the jet nozzle (801) is returned to its position by a rebound force of the nozzle spring (805).


As shown in FIG. 13, the plug block (9) is provided with a seal ring mounting groove (901) on a ring side and is provided with a plug block thread (902) at a lower end. The plug block thread (902) is used to connect to the plug block mounting thread (704). The seal ring mounting groove (901) is used to mount the extrusion seal ring (10). When the inner sliding sleeve (3) is locked, the extrusion seal face (307) and the extrusion seal ring (10) deform to achieve a sealing effect.


In the initial drilling process, the automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate is initially in an unlocked state, in which case the inner sliding sleeve (3) is located at an upper end, the self-locking guide block (302) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3) is located in the self-locking guide groove (106) at the lower end of the upper joint (1), the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) on the lockup sliding sleeve (4) is also located in the self-locking guide groove (106), and the tip position of the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) is at half of the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3). In the unlocked state, the drilling fluid flows from the flow channel (705) to the axial flow hole (706) for axially breaking the natural gas hydrate layer. When the flow rate of the drilling fluid increases to a certain extent, the axial thrust received by the inner sliding sleeve (3) increases to a certain value, so that the inner sliding sleeve (3) overcomes the thrust of the spring (6) to move down, and the self-locking guide block (302) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3) moves along the self-locking guide groove (106) at the lower end of the upper joint (1) and eventually moves out of the self-locking guide groove (106). When the flow rate of the drilling fluid increases and then returns to a smaller value, the original tip position of the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) is at half of the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3). Without the constraint of the self-locking guide groove (106), the tip position of the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) slides down the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3) to the bottom end of the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303), and when the flow rate of the drilling fluid further decreases, the axial thrust received by the inner sliding sleeve (3) decreases and the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) slides along the locking bevel (107) and eventually stops at the bottom end of the locking bevel (107). In this case, due to the constraint of the locking bevel (107), even if the flow rate of the drilling fluid is reduced, the inner sliding sleeve (3) is still located at the lower end, the automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate is on, and the drilling fluid flows through the discharge groove (305) to the telescopic jet sprinkler (8) and ejects, for circumferentially breaking the natural gas hydrate layer. When the flow rate of the drilling fluid increases to a certain extent again, the axial thrust received by the inner sliding sleeve (3) increases to a certain value, so that the inner sliding sleeve (3) overcomes the thrust of the spring (6) to move down, and the self-locking guide block (302) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3) moves axially along the locking bevel (107) at the lower end of the upper joint (1) and eventually moves out of the locking bevel (107). When the flow rate of the drilling fluid increases and then returns to a smaller value, the original tip position of the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) is at half of the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3). Without the constraint of the locking bevel (107), the tip position of the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) slides down the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303) on the surface of the inner sliding sleeve (3) to the bottom end of the inner sliding sleeve self-locking bevel (303), and when the flow rate of the drilling fluid further decreases, the axial thrust received by the inner sliding sleeve (3) decreases and the lockup sliding sleeve bevel (401) slides along the unlocking guide bevel (105) and eventually falls into the self-locking guide groove (106) and slides along the self-locking guide groove (106) to stop at its lowest end. In this case, the inner sliding sleeve (3) is located at the upper end, the automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate returns to the unlocked state, the drilling fluid flows from the flow channel (705) to the axial flow hole (706) for axially breaking the natural gas hydrate layer. Thus, the automatic jet breaking tool for solid fluidization exploitation of natural gas hydrate is turned on and turned off by controlling the flow rate of the drilling fluid, so as to change the form of breaking the natural gas hydrate layer.
