Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the invention provides an end-to-end connection method for oil casings with inner corrosion resistant layers, which can solve the problems of insufficient reactive torque loose buckling, shoulder surface not in place in the process of threaded connection of opposite-top type pipelines with inner corrosion resistant layers or insufficient buckling torque at the site end in the prior art, realize accurate and effective connection of pipeline strings with inner corrosion resistant layers, realize the integrity of corrosion resistance of bimetallic pipe strings, and ensure the corrosion resistance of the whole pipe strings.
The invention provides an end-to-end connection method of an oil casing pipe with an inner corrosion resistant layer, which realizes connection between pipelines with the opposite-top type corrosion resistant layer to be in-band, and comprises the following steps of:
During factory processing and assembly:
s1, machining external threads on the end parts of two sections of pipelines to be connected and an assembly nipple for positioning, and symmetrically machining internal threads on the inner walls of the two ends of a connecting coupling;
s2, connecting the first end of the connecting coupling with the assembly nipple in a threaded manner, wherein the threaded screwing-in position reaches the positioning position of the assembly nipple;
S3, smearing anti-loosening fastening oil sleeve thread grease and anti-buckling oil sleeve thread grease on external threads of the first section of pipeline in a sectional manner, connecting the anti-loosening fastening oil sleeve thread grease with the second end threads of the connecting coupling, and screwing the anti-loosening fastening oil sleeve thread grease into the end face of the coupling to be in contact with the assembly nipple;
on-site assembly and time-setting:
s4, dismantling the assembly pup joint;
S5, smearing anti-sticking oil sleeve thread compound on the external thread of the second section of pipeline, and screwing the anti-sticking oil sleeve thread compound into contact with the first end of the connecting coupling.
In step S3, the purpose of smearing the anti-loosening fastening oil sleeve thread compound is to connect with the threads of the fixed factory end, so that the threads connected with the ends are prevented from rotating anticlockwise and loosening due to reactive torque generated by end surface contact when the threads are buckled on site (namely, the first end and the second section of pipeline of the connecting coupling are buckled).
In the aspect and any possible implementation manner as described above, there is further provided an implementation manner, wherein a positioning shoulder is provided on an outer surface of the assembly nipple, and an outer diameter at the positioning shoulder is larger than an outer diameter at an external thread of the assembly nipple;
In step S2, the assembly nipple is threaded until the first end face of the connection collar contacts the locating shoulder.
In the aspect and any possible implementation manner as described above, there is further provided an implementation manner, wherein the external thread on the two-section pipeline is arranged in a frustum shape;
Correspondingly, the external threads of the assembly nipple are identical to the frustum-shaped external threads of the two sections of pipelines, and are matched with the internal threads of the connecting coupling.
In aspects and any one of the possible implementations described above, there is further provided an implementation in which the distance between the threaded end face of the make-up sub and the locating shoulder is equal to 1/2 of the length of the connecting collar. The length is set to ensure that the threads of the pipe body at the first end and the second end are all up to half of the coupling, thereby solving the problems of insufficient butt joint and insufficient torque for on-site end make-up.
In the aspect and any possible implementation manner described above, there is further provided an implementation manner, where the two sections of the pipeline to be connected each include an outer metal pipe and an inner metal pipe;
the inner metal pipe of the end to be connected protrudes 3mm-6mm compared with the outer metal pipe, and the protruding part of the inner metal pipe is welded with a corrosion-resistant metal layer;

In the aspect and any possible implementation manner, there is further provided an implementation manner, wherein the difference of the section thickness of the pipeline generated by the frustum is equal to or greater than 2mm, and the axial length is equal to or less than 4mm.
In the aspect and any possible implementation manner, further provided is an implementation manner, wherein the contact between the first end face of the connecting coupling and the positioning shoulder is that a gap between the first end face of the connecting coupling and the positioning shoulder of the assembly nipple is less than or equal to 0.01mm.
In the aspect and any possible implementation manner described above, there is further provided an implementation manner, wherein the qualification criterion of the external threads of the first section of pipeline and the second section of pipeline when screwing in the connecting collar is that the make-up torque value reaches a preset value and a nose shoulder touch signal appears on a torque curve. A nose end is respectively machined on the outer thread end surfaces of the two pipe bodies, and when the outer thread end surfaces of the two pipe bodies are contacted, namely after the nose ends touch, the buckling torque curve is rapidly increased in a vertical line mode, and the nose end contact signal is used as a nose shoulder touch signal.
In accordance with aspects and any one of the possible implementations described above, there is further provided an implementation in which, after assembly is completed, the outer surface of the corrosion resistant metal layer is not in contact with the inner surface of the connection collar, forming a hollow cylindrical section within the collar. The outer metal pipe of the pipeline with the inner corrosion resistant layer is not exposed in the hollow cylindrical section in the coupling, and only the corrosion resistant metal layer is exposed, so that the non-corrosion resistant outer metal pipe is not contacted with substances such as oil gas and the like conveyed in the pipe.
Compared with the prior art, one of the technical proposal has the advantages that the problem that the counter torque is loose and the shoulder surface is not propped in place when the pipe string threaded connection in the site is assembled is solved by accurately controlling the screwing position of the factory end threaded connection;
The other technical proposal has the advantages that the taper-shaped structure is adopted to lead the nose contact surface of the threaded connection to form stable contact pressure, thereby realizing effective connection and solving the corrosion prevention problem of the threaded connection part;
The other technical scheme has the advantages that the corrosion-resistant metal layer is welded by removing part of the outer tube of the pipeline with the inner corrosion-resistant layer, so that the contact surface on the opposite side is made of corrosion-resistant alloy, the corrosion resistance of the whole pipeline is guaranteed, the contact surface on the opposite side refers to the contact surface between the end faces of two sections of external threaded joints, and if the end face corrosion-resistant metal welding treatment is not carried out, the outer layer corrosion-resistant pipe body can be contacted with a medium conveyed in the pipeline to generate corrosion because the inner corrosion-resistant alloy layer is thinner and chamfering is required to be processed.
