Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The natural gas well rodless pump and foam drainage gas production composite process, combined with fig. 1 and 2, comprises the following steps:
and I, connecting an oil pipe 3 provided with an automatic reversing valve 2 with the rodless pump 1, and installing the oil pipe in the underground for working.
When the liquid-gas ratio is high, the rodless pump 1 is started to enable the wellbore accumulated liquid to be discharged to the ground through the automatic reversing valve 2 and the oil pipe 3, and the rodless pump 1 can be used for discharging a great amount of accumulated liquid at the bottom of the well, reducing the bottom-hole flowing pressure and activating the stratum gas-liquid flow. After the accumulated liquid in the well bore is discharged, the stratum and the well bore recover gas-liquid flow, the liquid yield of the gas well is reduced, and the stratum energy is recovered.
After the rodless pump 1 is drained for a period of time, the rodless pump is closed, so that the oil pipe and the annulus are automatically communicated, and if the gas well can be revived for a period of time, the gas well is produced by self-injection through the oil pipe 3. And the production of the oil pipe or the casing pipe can be determined according to the productivity condition, and the maximum liquid carrying self-injection production of the gas well is maintained to the greatest extent.
When the liquid-gas ratio is small or the rodless pump generates an airlock, the rodless pump 1 is closed, the automatic reversing valve 2 senses pressure change and is automatically opened, so that the oil pipe 3 is communicated with a pipeline connected with the automatic reversing valve 2, and the oil pipe 3 is isolated from the rodless pump 1 under the limitation of the automatic reversing valve 2;
and III, automatically flowing the liquid in the shaft into the automatic reversing valve 2, simultaneously injecting fluid capable of reducing the liquid in the shaft into the pipeline, mixing the liquid in the shaft with the fluid, reducing the surface tension and density of the liquid in the shaft, reducing the gas flow slip loss in the shaft, improving the gas flow liquid lifting capacity, and bringing the liquid in the bottom of the shaft to the ground.
The rodless pump 1 is a rodless pumping device which uses a cable or high-pressure liquid to transfer energy, and an electric submersible pump or an electric submersible screw pump is preferred in the scheme. Besides being injected into the automatic reversing valve 2 through a pipeline, the fluid can be led to the rodless pump 1 through a pipeline and also can be led to the automatic reversing valve 2 through a pipeline, namely, the fluid can be directly injected into the rodless pump 1, the automatic reversing valve 2 and the space between the oil pipe 3 and the shaft. Preferably, the fluid is injected into the automatic directional valve 2. The automatic reversing valve 2 can be composed of a plurality of groups of conventional on-off valves, but needs to be combined with an additional controller and a detector for controlling the opening and closing of the valve to switch the flow direction of the bottom hole effusion and the detection of the well bore effusion pressure. The scheme adopts a newly designed automatic reversing valve 2. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the preferred automatic reversing valve 2 in this embodiment includes a valve body 20, a side pipe 21, a side inlet 22, a filler pipe orifice 23, a main valve 24 and an auxiliary valve 26, two ends of the hollow valve body 20 are respectively connected to an outlet end of the rodless pump 1 and an inlet end of the oil pipe 3, and the side pipe 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the valve body 20 and two ends are respectively communicated with two ends of the valve body 20. The maximum width of the side pipe 21 and the valve body 20 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the oil pipe 3, so that smooth falling into a shaft can be ensured without blocking. The side inlet 22 is arranged on one side of the middle part of the valve body 20, the injection pipe orifice 23 is arranged on the other side of the middle part of the valve body 20, and the side inlet 22 and the injection pipe orifice 23 are flange pipe orifices and are positioned on the same water surface. A main valve 24 is slidably coupled to the middle of the valve body 20, and a sub-valve 26 is slidably coupled to the middle of the valve body 20 above the main valve 24.
Referring to fig. 3 and 5, the main valve 24 is cylindrical rod-shaped and has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20, a disc-shaped bottom valve plate 241 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main valve 24, and the outer diameter of the bottom valve plate 241 is the same as the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20. The middle valve plate 242 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the main valve 24, the lower limit plate 25 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the valve body 20, the lower limit plate 25 is of an annular plate structure, the outer diameter of the middle valve plate 242 is the same as the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20, and the aperture of the middle part of the lower limit plate 25 is the same as the outer diameter of the main valve 24 so that the top of the main valve 24 passes through the lower limit plate 25. A main spring 243 is fixedly connected between the middle valve plate 242 and the lower limit plate 25, and the main spring 243 pushes the middle valve plate 242 to enable the bottom valve plate 241 to be positioned between the opening of the side pipe 21 and the outlet of the rodless pump 1, and at the moment, the outlet of the rodless pump 1 is sealed with the side pipe 21.
When the pressure of the accumulated liquid in the shaft or the pressure of the outlet of the rodless pump 1 is larger than the elastic force of the main spring 243, the accumulated liquid in the shaft pushes up the bottom valve plate 241, the outlet of the rodless pump 1 is communicated with the side pipe 21, and the accumulated liquid in the shaft can flow into the oil pipe 3 along the side pipe 21 and then flow to the ground along the oil pipe 3 to finish liquid discharge. When the pressure of the well bore liquid is smaller than the elastic force of the main spring 243, the main spring 243 pushes the middle valve plate 242 to push the bottom valve plate 241 back to the original position, so that the outlet of the rodless pump 1 is sealed with the side pipe 21, and the subsequent well bore liquid cannot flow into the rodless pump 1 from the side pipe 21. In addition, the middle valve plate 242 with the outer diameter the same as the inner diameter of the valve body 20 is designed, and the lower limit plate 25 is matched to ensure that the accumulated liquid in the shaft is not easy to contact with the main spring 243, so that the influence on the service life of the automatic reversing valve 2 caused by the corrosion of the main spring 243 is avoided.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, a disk-shaped top valve plate 244 is fixedly connected to the top of the main valve 24, the outer diameter of the top valve plate 244 is the same as the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20, the top valve plate 244 is located between the water inlet 22 and the rodless pump 1 when the main spring 243 is extended, and the top valve plate 244 is located between the water inlet 22 and the auxiliary valve 26 when the main spring 243 is contracted. Through the arrangement, when the rodless pump 1 works, more gravel mixed with shaft liquid with high pressure can be prevented from entering the auxiliary valve 26 through the side inlet 22, the auxiliary valve 26 is prevented from being impacted by the gravel and the shaft liquid, the service life of the auxiliary valve 26 is prolonged, meanwhile, when the main spring 243 is reset, the auxiliary valve plays a role of a one-way valve, the shaft liquid and fluid flowing in through the injection pipe orifice 23 are prevented from pushing the main valve 24 to pull the main spring 243, the shaft liquid is prevented from penetrating into the environment where the main spring 243 is located, and the protection of the main spring 243 is improved. Meanwhile, the elastic force of the main spring 243 is utilized to automatically control the opening and closing according to the pressure of accumulated liquid in a shaft, so that the automatic reversing valve 2 omits the traditional arrangement of a control motor, a pressure sensor and a cable, the control cost is reduced, and the auxiliary valve 26 and the main spring 243 can be protected by designing the top valve plate 244.
Referring to fig. 4 and 6, the auxiliary valve 26 is in a cylindrical rod shape, the outer diameter of the auxiliary valve is smaller than the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20, a disc-shaped lower valve plate 261 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the auxiliary valve 26, the outer diameter of the lower valve plate 261 is equal to the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20, and a plurality of valve holes 262 are formed in the middle of the lower valve plate 261 at intervals; an upper limit plate 27 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the valve body 20 above the water inlet 22, a secondary spring 263 is fixedly connected between the lower valve plate 261 and the upper limit plate 27, an upper valve plate 264 is fixedly connected to the top end of the secondary valve 26 through the upper limit plate 27, and the outer diameter of the upper valve plate 264 is smaller than the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve body 20 and larger than the diameter of a middle hole of the upper limit plate 27; the sub spring 263 expands to bring the upper valve plate 264 into abutment with the upper limit plate 27. The upper part of the lower valve plate 261 is fixedly connected with a cylindrical oil outlet pipe 265 between the valve hole 262 and the auxiliary spring 263, the outer diameter of the oil outlet pipe 265 is the same as the diameter of the middle hole of the upper limiting plate 27, the outer wall surface of the oil outlet pipe 265 is always attached to the middle hole wall of the upper limiting plate 27, and a flow passage 271 is arranged between the top of the oil outlet pipe 265 and the bottom end surface of the upper valve plate 264.
After the rodless pump 1 is turned off, the main spring 243 resets the space between the closed side pipe 21 and the rodless pump 1 and opens the space between the side inlet 22, the filler pipe orifice 23 and the auxiliary valve 26, the bottom hole effusion automatically enters the valve body 20 through the side inlet 22, the filler pipe orifice 23 is connected with a pipe extending to the surface wellhead, and then the filler pipe orifice 23 is injected with a fluid, preferably a foaming agent, through the pipe to be mixed with the bottom hole effusion. By stirring the natural gas flow, the foaming agent is fully contacted with the bottom-hole effusion to generate a large amount of relatively stable low-density aqueous foam mixture, and the mixture generates various physical-chemical effects such as foam, dispersion, drag reduction, washing and the like in the gas-liquid two-phase mixed vertical flow process, so that the slip loss in a shaft is reduced, and the gas-liquid lifting capacity is improved. The foam mixture then pushes open upper valve plate 264 through valve orifice 262 to allow the mixture to flow into oil line 3 via outlet line 265 and flow passage 271, where part flows between bottom valve plate 241 and middle valve plate 242 through side tube 21, but under the restriction of top valve plate 244, protects main spring 243 from tension.
By arranging the lower valve plate 261 with the valve hole 262 and the oil outlet pipe 265, the corrosion of the foam mixture to the auxiliary spring 263 can be avoided, the auxiliary spring 263 is ensured to have a longer service life, meanwhile, under the limit of the upper valve plate 264, the auxiliary valve 26 also has the function of a one-way valve, and the situation that the accumulated liquid of a shaft flowing out of the side pipe 21 flows out of the valve body 20 from the side water inlet 22 through the auxiliary valve 26 is avoided, so that the rodless pump 1 can normally drain is ensured. In addition, since the valve hole 262 is downward and the pressure of the mixture is small, even though the gravel enters through the side inlet 22, the filling nozzle 23 always flows the liquid, and the gravel on the valve hole 262 can be washed away to avoid blockage regardless of whether the secondary spring 263 is reset.
In summary, the novel automatic reversing valve 2 is designed, so that extra electric control cost is saved, and the automatic opening and closing of different valve positions are realized only by means of the elasticity of the spring and the pressure difference of the accumulated liquid at the bottom of the well, so that the automatic reversing valve is very practical. Meanwhile, the automatic switching of two technological measures of drainage gas production and foam drainage gas production of the rodless pump 1 can be realized, and the foaming agent is directly injected into the automatic reversing valve 2 through a pipeline. By implementing this scheme in some flooded wells, successful activation and continuous production is achieved with daily gas production of gas wells up to tens of thousands of meters per day, accumulating amounts of production gas up to millions or even thousands of meters. The scheme is implemented in a gas well with large water yield, daily yield can be improved to the average value of ten thousand square per day, and the improvement effect is very excellent.
