Description
- This application is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT/CN2015/086777 Filed on 15 Aug. 2015 which designated the U.S. and claims priority to Chinese Application Nos. CN201510475412.5 filed on 5 Aug. 2015, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to a device for removing and preventing paraffin by using electric heating generated from skin effect-based natural gas electricity and an application thereof, and pertains to the technical field of oil-gas field exploitation equipment.
- During oil extraction, due to decrease in formation temperature and pressure and escape of light hydrocarbons in crude oil, paraffin in the crude oil will be separated out and adsorb on the wall of an oil pipe. Paraffin deposition in a wellbore will narrow down an oil flow channel of an oil well, thus preventing crude oil from flowing. Under serious conditions, it even leads to paraffin blocking in the oil well, thus affecting an extraction rate of crude oil and even leading to a production halt of the oil well. To eliminate the effect of paraffin deposition in an oil well, the oil well needs to be closed regularly to remove the paraffin deposited on the pipe wall of the oil well, which affects normal production of the oil well and increases an extraction cost of crude oil.
- Currently, there are a variety of processes for removing and preventing paraffin of oil wells, such as a mechanical method, a thermal method, a chemical method or a microbial method; due to a simple operation and a rapid effect, a thermal mechanical paraffin removing process is widely applied in paraffin removing and preventing operations of wellbores in various oil wells. A common thermal mechanical paraffin removing process comprises a thermal washing paraffin removing process injecting thermal fluid into a wellbore, an electric heating paraffin removing and preventing process based on a skin effect or the like. Generally, the electric heating process adopts a sucker rod, an oil pipe and so on as a heating element in a circuit. Depending on a principle of the skin effect, crude oil in the oil pipe is heated continuously during production, which enables paraffin to be removed and prevented without the need to close the oil well and stop production and implements good effects. Generally, the electric heating process adopts a ground power grid as its power source. Its main problem lies in huge power consumption, which may significantly increase power grid load. For a gas-lift well and a flowing well with no power source near the wellhead and an oil wells with limited power grid load, an application of this kind of process will be restricted. Meanwhile, for a conventional sucker rod or a hollow sucker rod heating, a continuous lowering cannot be realized in a lowering process due to a presence of coupling, which increases operation risks during installation.
- Aiming at the drawbacks in the prior art, the present invention provides a device for removing and preventing paraffin by using electric heating generated from skin effect-based natural gas electricity.
- The present invention also provides a working method of the device for removing and preventing paraffin by using electric heating generated from skin effect-based natural gas electricity.
- The present invention adopts an oil well associated natural gas for electricity generation to provide power source. A current frequency can be adjusted and heating power can be controlled through a power frequency electric heating control cabinet and continuous heating through a steel armored cable heating, a loop between a cable core wire and a steel armor is formed. The loop is charged with alternating current, thermal energy is generated on an outer wall of the steel armor through the skin effect to remove paraffin of crude oil or prevent paraffin of crude oil from depositing in the oil pipe. This process has advantages of a small investment and a fast installation speed, which can realize continuous lowering of a steel armored cable and paraffin removing and preventing by electric heating during oil extraction, thus ensuring a normal production of an oil well and safety during an installation operation.
