Drainage gas production intelligence plunger
Technical Field
The invention relates to a drainage plunger, in particular to an intelligent plunger for drainage and gas production.
Background
The problem of liquid accumulation at the bottom of a gas well is a common problem in natural gas exploitation, and particularly in the middle and later periods of gas well production, the liquid accumulation problem is particularly prominent. Measures are needed to be taken to discharge accumulated liquid at the bottom of the well, and the gas production efficiency of the gas well is ensured. The plunger gas lift water drainage gas production process is one of mechanical methods, when the plunger falls into the accumulated liquid at the bottom of the well, a solid interface is formed between the lifting gas and the accumulated liquid, the gas in the sleeve expands towards the oil pipe, and the plunger and the liquid on the upper part of the plunger can be pushed to reach the well mouth along with the gradual increase of the gas, so that the purpose of discharging the accumulated liquid at the bottom of the well is achieved. The existence of the plunger can effectively prevent gas from fleeing upwards and liquid from falling back, thereby reducing the slipping loss and improving the lifting efficiency; the traditional plunger type water drainage gas recovery adopts a pure mechanical transmission structure, and a buffer structure such as a buffer spring and a clamping device is arranged in a shaft so as to realize the purpose of controlling the falling stroke of the plunger. However, this method has the following disadvantages:
(1) the buffer structure is required to be installed in the underground pipeline in advance, the complexity of the engineering is realized, and meanwhile, the height of the plunger for lifting liquid cannot be controlled due to the fixed position of the buffer structure. When the plunger falls to the position of the clamping device and the liquid lifted is too much, the lifting is difficult; if the lifting liquid is too little, the lifting efficiency is low, and the well stopping time is prolonged.
(2) Because the buffer device can not be installed in an inclined well and a horizontal well, the conventional plunger can only be applied to a vertical well.
