Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a back pressure compensation system for a pressure control drilling well.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a back pressure compensation system for a pressure-controlled drilling according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the system includes: the air bag set 100 is connected to a branch of a direct-current pipeline at the outlet of the back pressure pump;
the air bag group comprises three air bags A, B and C, and the air bags are connected in parallel at the branch of the outlet direct current pipeline;
the air bag comprises manual stop valves 1, 2 and 3, pressure detection and inflation ports 4, 5 and 6, pressure capsules 7, 8 and 9 and steel cylinders 10, 11 and 12; the pressure capsule is arranged in the steel cylinder, the pressure detection and inflation port is arranged at one end of the steel cylinder, and the manual stop valve is arranged between the other end of the steel cylinder and a branch of an outlet direct current pipeline; wherein the pressure capsule of the air bag is filled with nitrogen with different pressures.
During the drilling operation stop cycle, the back pressure compensation system with the air bag set is matched with the automatic throttle manifold to establish the ground circulation, and the back pressure compensation system can adapt to wider throttle pressure so as to provide more stable pressure and flow compensation. The method is applied to the field of pressure-controlled drilling of petroleum and natural gas. At present, an air bag is arranged at the outlet of a return pressure compensation pump of a pressure control drilling well, the pre-charging pressure is generally 1MPa, the air bag is suitable for the throttling pressure of 3-4 MPa, the pressure and the flow are fluctuated when the pressure is slightly higher, the pipeline is seriously vibrated, great difficulty is caused for stable pressure control during the return pressure compensation period, and the equipment is strongly damaged by fatigue. The back pressure compensation value of the pressure control drilling technology is changed frequently, the pressure values of different wells are different, the pressure values of the same well under different working conditions are different, and the pressure control value is basically between 3 and 12 MPa. The pre-charging pressure of one air bag is certain, and the nitrogen charging mode is complicated, so that the wide throttle pressure range is difficult to adapt. In order to solve the problem, the invention designs an air bag group at the outlet of the back pressure pump, the pre-charging pressure of each air bag is different, and the inlet of each steel cylinder is controlled by a stop valve, so that one or more air bags can be freely selected to be combined for use according to the difference of the used throttling pressure, the buffering effect of the air bags is quickly adjusted to the optimal state, and the fluctuation of the pressure and the flow and the vibration of a pipeline during the back pressure compensation are reduced.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the system further comprises a pneumatic flat valve 200 disposed between the back pressure pump and the air bag set.
In this embodiment, the system further includes a pressure relief valve 300, which is disposed between the back pressure pump and the air bag set and connected in parallel with the pneumatic flat valve.
As one embodiment of the invention, the system further comprises an electric motor connected to the back pressure pump for powering the back pressure pump.
As an embodiment of the invention, the system further comprises a priming pump 400 arranged at the inlet of said back pressure pump.
In this embodiment, the system further includes a low pressure gauge 500 disposed between the priming pump and the back pressure pump.
In this embodiment, the system further comprises a flow meter 600 disposed between the low pressure gauge and the back pressure pump.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the system further includes a high pressure gauge 700 disposed between the back pressure pump and the air bag set.
The system further includes a one-way valve 800 and a manual plate valve 900 as an embodiment of the present invention.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the pressure of nitrogen gas filled in the pressure capsule of the air bag is 1MPa, 2MPa and 3MPa, respectively.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, three air bags with different pressures are arranged at the outlet of the back pressure pump, and during the period of stopping circulation, when the back pressure compensation system is matched with the throttle manifold to control the back pressure of the wellhead, one or more free combinations can be selected according to the throttle pressure, so that the buffering effect of the air bags is rapidly adjusted to the optimal state, and the fluctuation of the pressure and the flow and the vibration of a pipeline during the back pressure compensation are reduced. The air bag group is arranged at the branch of a direct-current pipeline at the outlet of the return pressure pump, so that the flow resistance of the drilling fluid in the main line is reduced as much as possible. Three air bags of the air bag group are placed in parallel, each air bag is provided with an independent control switch, and one air bag can be selected to work and can also be combined and used at will. The three air bag capsules have different inflation pressures, and different air bags can be selected to be combined under the condition of different throttling pressures. The air bag group is installed at the front end of the manual flat valve, and the manual flat valve is closed in the pressure test process of the back pressure pump outlet pipeline and the automatic throttle manifold at the rear end, so that the air bag can be prevented from bearing overhigh pressure. Each air bag is not provided with a pressure gauge, the inflation inlet is a one-way valve, and the one-way valve is opened when the pressure gauge is installed or the air bag is inflated. The cost is reduced and the detection workload is reduced.
In one embodiment of the invention, the air bag group in the system is mainly divided into four parts, namely three air bags with the same size and different pressures, three manual stop valves, three pressure detection and inflation ports with one-way valves and three steel cylinders with the same size.
The manual stop valves 1, 2 and 3 can respectively control the communicated state of the A, B, C air bag and the outlet of the return pressure pump, and the corresponding air bag is in an isolated state after the stop valves are closed and does not participate in work. The pressure detection and inflation ports 4, 5 and 6 can detect the pressure of the corresponding air bag and inflate the corresponding air bag. The air bags 7, 8 and 9 are filled with nitrogen with different pressures, can adapt to different throttling pressures, and are main elements of the buffering capacity of the air bag. The cylinders 11, 12, 13 primarily function to confine the expansion of the bladder, to protect the bladder, and to act as a reservoir for the storage and release of drilling fluid.
Specifically, the pressure capsule needs pre-charging pressure, which is as follows:
the basic formula:
PA0.VA0=PA1.VA1
PA0: a initial pressure of the air bag (inflation);
PA1: throttle pressure when only the air bag is working;
VA0: a, initial air bag volume (inflation) of an air bag;
VA1: and A is the corresponding air bag volume when the air bag works.
A, B, C the three air bags are designed to be as large in volume;
VA0=VB0=VC0
the inflation pressure is respectively as follows:
PAO=1MPa
PB0=2MPa
PC0=3MPa
the optimal inflation pressure of the air bags is 1/4-1/3, and 1 or more air bags are opened according to the requirement of the throttle pressure.
Namely:
(1) selecting an air bag with inflation pressure of 1MPa to work independently within the throttle pressure of 3-4 MPa;
(2) selecting an air bag inflated with 2MPa to work independently at the throttle pressure of 6-8 MPa;
(3) selecting an air bag inflated with 3MPa to work independently under the throttling pressure of 9-12 MPa;
(4) air bags with inflation pressures of 1MPa and 2MPa can be selected to work in parallel under the throttle pressure of 4-6 MPa;
(5) air bags with inflation pressures of 2MPa and 3MPa can be selected to work in parallel under the throttle pressure of 8-9 MPa.
Specifically, as shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
The air bag pressure control device is characterized in that three air bags with different pressures are installed in parallel, each air bag is provided with an independent control switch, and the air bags can be selected at will and matched at will; meanwhile, the control precision of the wellhead pressure in the pressure control tripping and single joint connecting processes is increased, so that the drilling construction of a narrow density window is safer, and the fatigue damage of equipment caused by vibration is reduced; and the frequent work of charging and discharging the air bag by field personnel in order to adapt the buffering capacity of the air bag to the throttling pressure is avoided. The workload of field personnel, the cost of using nitrogen and the waste of energy are reduced.
The invention is improved on the problem that the air bag is narrow in pressure range suitable for the back pressure pump, has good effect, simple structure and convenient operation, can be matched at will, can quickly adjust the buffering capacity, and meets the requirements of field operation.
