Various members are mounted on the top. The member attached on the outer peripheral surface orthogonal to the axial direction of the mandrel is not particularly limited as long as it is a member conventionally used in a downhole plug. In particular, the
本実施形態に用いられるマンドレルの外周面上に取り付けられる部材を形成する材料は、特に限定されず、従来、ダウンホールプラグに備えられる該部材を形成する材料として使用されている材料を使用することができる。例えば、金属材料(アルミニウム、スチール、およびステンレス鋼等)、繊維、木、複合材および樹脂などを挙げることができ、具体的には、炭素繊維等の強化材を含有する複合材、特に、エポキシ樹脂およびフェノール樹脂等の重合体を含有する複合材などを挙げることができる。使用後の閉塞の解除および流路の確保を容易にすることにより坑井掘削の経費軽減および工程短縮ができるという観点から、先にマンドレルについて説明したと同様に、上記部材の少なくとも1つが分解性材料から形成されるものであることが好ましい。 [Material for forming a member to be mounted on the outer peripheral surface orthogonal to the axial direction of the mandrel]
The material for forming the member attached to the outer peripheral surface of the mandrel used in the present embodiment is not particularly limited, and a material conventionally used as a material for forming the member included in the downhole plug is used. Can do. For example, metal materials (aluminum, steel, stainless steel, etc.), fibers, wood, composite materials and resins can be mentioned. Specifically, composite materials containing reinforcing materials such as carbon fibers, particularly epoxy Examples thereof include a composite material containing a resin and a polymer such as a phenol resin. From the viewpoint that the cost of well drilling can be reduced and the process can be shortened by facilitating the release of the blockage after use and the securing of the flow path, at least one of the above members is degradable in the same manner as described for the mandrel. It is preferably formed from a material.

That is, the setting rod is inserted into the hollow portion of the setting tool. The setting sleeve has a cylindrical shape surrounding one end of the long axis of the setting rod.
本実施形態の坑井閉塞装置において、セッティングロッドはマンドレルと接続させるが、セッティングロッドは通常、セッティングスリーブに囲まれている端部とは逆側の端部においてマンドレルと直接的または間接的に接続させる。また、セッティングロッドは、マンドレルの後方の開口部から、マンドレルの中空部に挿入されている。マンドレルにおけるセッティングロッドとの接続位置は、マンドレルの長軸方向の後端側でも中央でも前端側でもよいが、マンドレルが樹脂製などで圧縮強度が不足である場合は、マンドレルの前端側に接続することが好ましい。その場合、セッティングロッドはマンドレルの後端側から中空部を通って前端側に接続させる。以下にセッティングロッドとマンドレルの前端を接続させる例を、図2および図3を用いて説明する。 1) Setting rod In the well closing device of this embodiment, the setting rod is connected to the mandrel, but the setting rod is usually directly or directly connected to the mandrel at the end opposite to the end surrounded by the setting sleeve.

本実施形態に用いられるダウンホールプラグの流路を閉塞するための障害物を形成する分解性材料としては、先にマンドレルについて説明したと同様に、生分解性、加水分解性を有する分解性材料、更に他の何らかの方法によって化学的に分解することができる分解性材料、脆化して簡単に崩壊させることのできる分解性材料を使用することができる。なかでも、分解性樹脂または分解性金属は、分解速度の調節が容易であることから、上記障害物に用いる分解性材料として好ましい。特に、高強度であることから、分解性樹脂としてはポリグリコール酸が好ましく、分解性金属としてはMg合金が好ましい。 (Degradable material)
As the degradable material for forming an obstacle for closing the flow path of the downhole plug used in the present embodiment, the degradable material having biodegradability and hydrolyzability is the same as described for the mandrel. Furthermore, a degradable material that can be chemically decomposed by some other method, or a degradable material that can be embrittled and easily disintegrated can be used. Among these, a degradable resin or a degradable metal is preferable as a degradable material used for the obstacle because the decomposition rate can be easily adjusted. In particular, because of its high strength, polyglycolic acid is preferable as the decomposable resin, and Mg alloy is preferable as the decomposable metal.
本実施形態の坑井閉塞装置は、坑井の深度、および縦穴であるか横穴であるかを問わず使用することができる。 2. Well Closure Method The well closure device of this embodiment can be used regardless of the depth of the well and whether it is a vertical hole or a horizontal hole.
