With reference to Figure 16, this view of milling cutter parts 28 illustrates the sectional drawing of cutter head short circuit 192, connector 200 and elementary milling cutter 210, but is rotated counterclockwise slightly from the position of Figure 14.Can't see finger piece 208 among Figure 16.Shown in center element 222 be installed in (Figure 14) in the milling cutter member center bore 220.One central passage 224 that is used to receive the liquid that flows downward is illustrated by the broken lines.
Center element 222 comprises a locking spindle 226 that head portion 228 is arranged.Head 228 has a circumference instrument recess 230 (being illustrated by the broken lines) that cooperates with setting means or recovery instrument.Locking spindle 226 also has an internal thread lower end 232 (being illustrated by the broken lines).Locking spindle and setting means and recovery instrument all can be buied by the Baker Oil Tool company of Houston, Texas.When shown in head 228 is in to upper/lower positions the time (solid line), the chuck 234 of three circle spacings (only having two can see in Figure 16) is positioned at their extended position, thereby extends in the plug indentation 202.The lateral view of chuck 234 (using solid line) clearly shows and extends to plug indentation 202.Latched position when this has represented normal running.
Should be clear from Figure 14-16, to do as a wholely with respect to locking spindle 226 and when rotation when cutter head short circuit 192, elementary milling cutter 210, connector 200, finger piece 208 cooperates with each chuck 234, thereby center element 222 is rotated.When in milling cutter member center bore 220 center element 222 being set in latched position, chuck 234 may extend by chance and contact the upper end of finger piece 208, thereby they are outwardly-bent, makes finger piece 208 stretching a little.But because finger piece 208 is made by flexible and elastomeric material, they will block go back to the position of their expectations with its rotation with respect to chuck 234.
Center element 222 also comprises a center milling cutter 236, and this center milling cutter 236 has external screw thread upper end 238 (being illustrated by the broken lines) that threadably and movably are connected on the locking spindle lower end 232.Certainly, this connection must make center milling cutter 236 and locking spindle 226 do as a whole rotation.Center milling cutter 236 also has a wearing and tearing lower end 240 adjacent with elementary milling cutter lower end 216 when the latched position shown in locking spindle 226 is in.There is a wearing and tearing lower floor 242 similar to the wearing and tearing lower floor 218 of elementary milling cutter lower end 216 milling cutter lower end, center 240.One milling cutter nozzle 244 (preferably tungsten carbide) threadably and movably is connected in the milling cutter lower end, center 240 and is positioned at wherein, thus with center element passage 224 UNICOMs.As shown in the figure, milling cutter nozzle 244 has one, and this inlet has an inlet diameter from the tapered passage of outlet that enters the mouth, and this outlet has an outlet diameter less than inlet diameter.The arrival end of milling cutter nozzle 244 cooperates with a seal with O ring.Center milling cutter 236 also has a pair of packing ring 246 that is arranged in circumferential groove, is used to seal the inner surface that is pressed against elementary milling cutter 210.One shoulder 248 cooperates (Figure 14) with shoulder 214.
For the latched position from Figure 16 is removed center element 222, cooperate with instrument recess 230 with a recovery instrument, upwards shift head 228 onto upper position shown in dotted line.When making it get back to punctured position when shrinking chuck 234, one 250 (dotting equally) is connected to head 228 and reaches outside the locking spindle 226.A chuck 234 that is represented by dotted lines is positioned at its punctured position.Can center element 226 upwards be released (Figure 14) outside the milling cutter member center bore 220 with pucker tool now.
Center element 222 can be inserted when chuck 234 is in punctured position again, then by cooperating with instrument recess 230 with a setting means and head 228 being pushed back downwards, makes chuck 234 extend to its extension and latched position and lock and puts in place.
With reference to Figure 14 and Fig. 6, the milling cutter parts can be connected to the water jet pump parts.But cutter head short circuit upper end 194 thread connection make milling cutter member center bore 220 aim at the outlet 140 of pump member center bore 136 to the internal thread lower end of main element 142.
Because the milling cutter parts have the center element that can remove, and each parts (comprising the milling cutter parts) have the straight substantially centre bore that can aim at when being linked together as shown in Figure 1, after removing center element, available wire rope descends instrument and passes centre bore below the milling cutter parts.
In the time must pulling out hydraulic packer outside the well in the ream operation process, control has special advantage for well for this.Because having unexpected situation such as mechanical problem or some parts of reamer stops up, this is necessary sometimes.Because as previously mentioned, meeting formation one contains the pneumatic jack of methane below the compacting parts, pulls out simply to cause methane suddenly He to be discharged into the atmosphere from " work " well with being potentially dangerous.The common practice is at first to carry out " kill-job " by using heavy-fluid or " mud " before pulling out, and this can also reduce productivity ratio in the future by filler particles on the bedding of coal seam.
But the present invention allows after taking out center element an inflatable plug descended and passes below the milling cutter parts in the centre bore arrival well bore casing.After inflatable plug expands and obtains to seal in well bore casing, reamer can be pulled out from well bore casing.Can use on the ground suitable seal mechanism such as lubricating coupler and inflatable plug is shunk, and it is pulled out from well, and under the situation of not losing desired sealing, can bore cast iron bridge-type plug and replace with one.After reinstalling center element in the milling cutter parts, reamer rolls back in the well bore casing down then, and the starting liquid flow forms sealing to packer in well bore casing.When liquid rotated from the outflow of milling cutter nozzle, the milling cutter parts bored the bridge-type plug.Enough little plug fragment is upwards extracted out between its main body and well bore casing by the water jet pump parts.Gap between main body external surface and the well bore casing is generally less than 1/4 inch.Therefore, the outer grooves in the main body (160 among Figure 13 the most clearly represents) allows big plug part to enter in the water jet pump parts and is pumped on the ground.After boring saturating bridge-type plug, reamer is lowered by the degree of depth of expectation in the boring, recovers ream operation.Notice that operations according to the instant invention does not need kill-job, thereby has avoided the adverse effect for output subsequently.
At last, with respect to the various nozzles in previously described cutting, water jet pump and the milling cutter parts, these nozzles all are removable, thereby are removable.This just allows fabulous hydraulic control, is used to optimize hydraulic efficiency, and can adopt hydraulic underreamer under the hole condition of wide range, and these conditions for example but be not limited to the degree of depth of well, methane pressure and coal seam thickness in the coal seam.
Clearly, by means of top guiding, many corrections of the present invention and change are feasible.For example, although in the preferred embodiment of above-mentioned water jet pump parts, used six rotating drums, jet nozzle and Venturi tubes, also can use still less or more quantity (for example, 3 to 11).Therefore be appreciated that in the scope of appended claims that the present invention can implement with the form beyond the mode of special description.
