Referring to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, spray fluid and can flow through and mark graduated slope 28 when the nozzle 8 from steam pump 2 flows out.Sclerosis explosion plate 30 is placed in nozzle 8 tops, for injection/production liner (not shown) protected from wear that prevents steam pump 2 places.
The large I of nozzle geometry and steam pump is designed for several different steam and sprays pressure or speed.For example, can lower than, be equal to or higher than uperize under the situation that reservoir splits pressure.Also can be under subsonic speed/subcritical or the velocity of sound/critical fluidised form uperize.
Preferably, steam pump 2 is recyclable systems, its can be positioned at the larger injection/production liner be connected with stratum and can adhere at random installation, through or otherwise be connected to the larger injection/production liner be connected with stratum.Steam pump 2 can also be closed or open system.More preferably, the steam pump group can be joined together to form the steam pump tubing string by the atresia casing length, thereby makes injection and the production operation variation of carrying out along whole well, and can preferably to the length-specific of well, be isolated.In this way, can in water flood operations, use native system, produce the steam isolated area simultaneously in the dehydration application.
In the situation of individual well design, the accessory of steam pump 2 can be positioned over injections/production liner inside and at production phase production original position fluid after injection phase always.In this case, the production fluid in opposite direction can flow back in steam pump 2 by nozzle 8.In process of production, explosion plate 30 for reducing its resistance when the production fluid enters steam pump 2.
Sand control screen used in the present invention or lining pipe are to be the sand control screen of any type known in the art, and it includes but not limited to free coiling, slotted liner and Mace Rui Te (meshrite tM) screen casing or other sand control screens.
Injection/production liner preferably contacts whole reservoir, but not be only part reservoir wherein, therefore there do not is the length of run of pipeline in horizontal hole, thereby the less pressure produced along horizontal hole while being conducive to reduce fluid production, radial inflow effect better, with whole reservoir, contact better, prevent that grittiness is higher, reach distribution of steam better.
Preferably, the present invention also provides a kind of method of settling and preferably concentrate steam pump 2 by connecting one or more packer in injection/production liner, the size of described one or more packer is greater than the external diameter of steam pump 2, and enough little with closely matching (snuggly) in the internal diameter of the injection/production liner be connected with subsurface formations.
As required, packer can be designed to have the space for milling and recovery, and has certain pressure control and distribution of steam control.Preferably, packer can be arranged at terminal position and injection/production liner inside along radial bore length 1/3rd and 2/3rds positions, place or other positions of selecting selectively along well, thereby controls and the control of convection cell distribution by the pressure that sealing subsurface formations and annular space between injection/production liner, steam pump maintain the opposing jet body.Alternatively, if do not use packer, the present inventor thinks that the high viscosity by original position oil also can provide essential fluid pressure to control and the control of convection cell distribution.
In operation, instrument 20 preferably being set and usually using in this type of application commonly used 27/8 " work string operates in well.Arrange instrument 20 move to a position directly over steam pump 2 can stop mobile, corresponding to the through hole 22 that instrument 20 is set during near pin 18.
Under few situation, when the slide rail 24 that instrument 20 is set by chance when pin 18 on slides within sleeve 6 aligns, instrument 20 is set may be near slides within sleeve 6, but walk around steam pump 2, in this case, tubing string can be risen to the position of steam pump 2 tops, and the distance (offset) that it turned round together with pin 18 so that itself and slide rail 24 stagger, and then it is highly descended.
For steam pump 2 being arranged to required nozzle placement, need apply power or weight to instrument 20 is set.Once weight exceeds the resistance of lock ring 12, slides within sleeve 6 will glide, until lock ring 12 arrives next lock ring groove 16, or until slides within sleeve 6 near below back-up ring 10.
Alternatively, also can upwards draw high the instrument of setting 20 steam pump 2 is set to required nozzle placement.In this case, instrument 20 being set at first must return by slides within sleeve 6.The rotation work tubing string, until slide rail 24 is in line with pin 18, then moves down the instrument of setting 20 by slides within sleeve 6.
Again rotate and instrument 20 is set so that it staggers side by side with slide rail 24, the lifting work string is until feel that resistance, this expression arrange instrument 20 near pin 18.Then promote work string and take in new lock ring groove 16 until overcome the resistance and the lock ring 12 that carry out self-locking ring 12, or until slides within sleeve 6 near top back-up ring 10.
In optional embodiment, the present invention also can operate under the situation of injection/production liner not having, as the SAGD operational scenario.In this case, without using packer also not need to use two-flow to control hanging pipe, only use the single current amount to control hanging pipe and get final product.In SAGD application, " preheating " stage or " circulation " stage are arranged usually, the described stage need to be heated pitch between gusher and producing well or heavy oil reservoir so that improve mobility, expansion steam chamber cavity, production and fluid control.
Emitted dose and the pressure of the injection-production phase fully of a pair of SAGD well that the steam emitted dose that this warm-up phase needs usually and pressure are significantly less than abundant running.Under these situations, the first steam pump system can preferably be designed at warm-up phase and provide evenly and the distribution of steam of optimizing, then can optionally make the first steam pump system set back, the second steam pump system of inserting to be to be provided for the high steam of complete injection phase, or can optionally make the first steam pump system keep original position and by adjusting slides within sleeve 6 to realize spraying fully by nozzle 8 under the prerequisite not removing initial steam pump system.
Preferably, steam pump 2 flow set provide sealing through machining, and all flow set is as the highest order setting, abbreviation position " A ", flow cut off and are provided as middle equipotential setting, be called for short position " B ", and partial discharge is provided as the lowest order setting, abbreviation position " C ".Pre-determine the sealing area in high-order and low level setting (position " A " and " C ") according to fluid properties (comprising pressure, quality, temperature and loss).The removable whole steam pump tubing string that comprises packer also re-starts setting when needed.
By produce equally distributed steam along horizontal hole, whole reservoir can preferentially contact with steam, thereby the ratio of larger oil production, reduction steam-oil is provided, and can transfer the energy in stratum more efficiently.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be designed in the injection higher or lower than splitting pressure and depress and carry out Fluid injection, or the present invention is also applicable to subcritical or critical fluidised form.
In optional embodiment, can steam pump 2 be installed in the injection/production liner of well and go.In this case, preferably use paired flow-control hanging pipe to and PBR (PBR).Paired flow-control hanging pipe and PBR are installed together, and place up and down in the position of intermediate casing.PBR is connected to intermediate casing and it is adhered on a certain position.
Then native system is arranged on to the terminal position of horizontal hole so that oil spill rate minimizes and control the pressure loss of being crossed the uperize that high steam that the flow-control hanging pipe produces bypass causes by position endways.Because the first flow control hanging pipe and the PBR that are positioned at apart from the well highest distance position are connected to injection/production liner, provide thus the seal that prevents leakage of oil to maintain the pressure of terminal position.The second flow-control hanging pipe and PBR are connected to steam pump, and are positioned at first flow control hanging pipe and PBR top, and do not need to be connected to first flow, control hanging pipe and PBR, and identical pressure and leakage of oil seal also can be provided.
In another preferred embodiment, also can under the situation of not using the packer for concentrating steam pump or steam pump tubing string, operate the present invention.As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, the present embodiment use one or multipair PBR (PBR) joint 26 and flow-control (FC) seal 28, but not packer is isolated steam pump.
For example, at one or multipair PBR joint 26 of down-hole operation, between these PBR joints 26, operation has one or more slotted liner 30.The use number of slotted liner 30 used depends on following factor: formation characteristics, borehole length and cost consideration.In some cases, slotted liner 30 can move between each PBR joint 26 in tubing string, so that the area of each isolated area equates.Under other situations, may only need 2 to 3 slotted liners 30.Although use this term of slotted liner herein, those skilled in the art will be understood that can use any sand control screen for achieving the above object under the condition that does not break away from the scope of the invention.
Can without hole sleeve, steam bushing pipe and one or more steam pump 2 be linked together by one or more, all steam bushing pipes all are positioned between FC seal 28.By setting be fixed in the slotted liner tubing string distance between PBR joint 26 so that its with steam bushing pipe tubing string between FC seal 28 apart from being complementary.By the seal that can remember, FC seal 28 and PBR joint 26 are agreed with mutually, the mismatch error scope allowed between them is 0.001 " to 0.002 ", in this scope, can not cause obvious steam loss.More preferably, from wellbore surface to its bottom, PBR joint 26 and FC seal 28 that internal diameter is constantly diminished are arranged in the slotted liner tubing string, thereby while making underground work, whole PBR joints 26 all can leave gap with FC seal 28.When reaching borehole bottom, each FC seal 28 all can contact by its corresponding PBR joint 26, and sealing belongs to sealing fully.In this way, steam pressure can be realized homogenising, and maintains in the borehole length scope, and the possibility of generating steam bypass is minimum.
Under the situation of not using packer, in the time of can avoiding sealing, packer produces too many pressure or causes wearing and tearing then the inefficacy packer to be carried out to milling and recovery it because of steam.In addition, in the formation isolation district, use the PBR joint can not cause undesirable restriction to borehole diameter, as for identical purpose, using packer the same with the combination of pipeline.The limited type that can produce frictional dissipation, obstruction distribution of steam, increase pipeline demand and limit the down-hole used tool of borehole diameter.The function mode of preferred PBR/FC sealing system should configure similar with packer, like that, if the zone that well has a place to isolate, can directly turn off two steam pumps between the FC seal so simply so that sealing area can not produce fluid and other zones of itself and well are intercepted mutually.
Example
Following instance is only for further illustrating embodiments of the invention, and unrestricted limited range of the present invention.
Example 1:
A well has an intermediate casing in the degree of depth of 600m, be referred to as build section, and the total depth of well is 1500m.The horizontal section length of oil-producing formation or production area is 900m.Three different steam pump groups together with three packers together for steam treatment.The first packer is arranged on the position of dark 1200m, in 1200m to 1500m depth bounds, isolates 3/4 of nozzle quantity in the first steam pump.The second packer is arranged on the position of dark 900m, in the 1200m depth bounds at the 900m degree of depth to the first packer place the isolation the second steam pump nozzle quantity 1/2.The 3rd packer is arranged on the position of the 600m degree of depth, is positioned at intermediate casing bottom, in the 900m depth bounds at the 600m degree of depth and the second packer place, isolates 1/4 of nozzle quantity in the 3rd steam pump.
The sleeve pipe of predetermined quantity and steam pump together move the length that reaches required between packer.By the setting device of different spray nozzles on steam pump between the use packer, the operator can be sent to steam or other injection fluid well-distributings in stratum.
In the production cycle of needs, can maybe can be by the production sealing region division of steam pump for carrying out more greatly completion by same nozzle.If one of them isolated area is producing undesirable product, as water or sand, can be by the flow set of the steam pump of being correlated with at reduced levels or can turn off relevant steam pump fully.
In conjunction with specific embodiment the present invention described in the content of describing in the above; But, obviously can carry out various modifications and changes to the present invention under the prerequisite of spirit and scope more widely not breaking away from the present invention.
