Abstract

La présente invention aborde le problème de fourniture d'un dispositif de fermeture de puits pouvant réduire les coûts et raccourcir un processus de forage d'un puits, et un procédé de fermeture temporaire du puits à l'aide du dispositif de fermeture de puits. Ce dispositif de fermeture de puits comprend : un bouchon de fond de trou ; un outil de réglage (2) pour faire fonctionner et installer le bouchon de fond de trou ; et un obstacle pour fermer le passage d'écoulement du bouchon de fond de trou, l'obstacle étant inclus dans l'outil de réglage (2), et ainsi le passage d'écoulement du bouchon de fond de trou peut être fermé de manière fiable en peu de temps après l'installation du bouchon de fond de trou à l'intérieur d'un puits et retrait de l'outil de réglage (2). De plus, grâce à ce dispositif de fermeture de puits, le puits peut être temporairement fermé de manière fiable en peu de temps.
