Heat-insulating oil sleeve and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a heat-insulating oil sleeve. The heat-insulating oil sleeve is characterized by comprising an outer pipe, an intermediate pipe and an inner pipe which are sleeved in a clearance fit way; internal threads are machined at one end of the intermediate pipe; external threads are machined at the other end of the intermediate pipe; one end, provided with the internal threads, of the intermediate pipe is welded with the outer pipe at a pipe end, and is welded with the inner pipe at the length position of the preserved internal threads; one end, provided with the external threads, of the intermediate pipe is welded with the outer pipe at the length position of the preserved external threads, and is welded with the inner pipe at the pipe end; an annular cavity formed by the outer pipe and the intermediate pipe is filled with a heat-insulating material and is vacuumized to form a first heat-insulating layer; an annular cavity formed between the intermediate pipe and the inner pipe is vacuumized and is injected with inert gas to form a second heat-insulating layer. A manufacturing method for the heat-insulating oil sleeve comprises the following steps in sequence: performing pretreatment on the three pipes, sleeving and welding the inner pipe and the intermediate pipe, treating the annular cavity between the inner pipe and the intermediate pipe, sleeving and welding the outer pipe and the intermediate pipe, treating the annular cavity between the outer pipe and the intermediate pipe, testing an apparent heat conductivity coefficient and machining threads at the two ends of the intermediate pipe. The heat-insulating oil sleeve has a structure with three layers of steel tubes and double layers of heat-insulating layers, high heat insulation performance, long heat insulation life and high performance.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heat-insulating oil casing and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a steam injection and oil extraction tool for heavy oil thermal recovery operations in the petroleum industry and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of petroleum exploitation Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the petroleum extraction industry and the continuous increase in oil consumption, the exploitation of heavy oil has become the main source of output for domestic and foreign oil companies. The exploitation of heavy oil usually adopts two processes: steam huff and puff and steam flooding. These two processes All need to use insulated tubing and casing as steam injection and oil production tools. The current insulated oil pipes are produced according to or with reference to a "Vacuum Insulated Oil Pipe and Its Manufacturing Process" disclosed in a Chinese patent (Application No. 97115719...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The current heat-insulated oil pipes are all produced according to or with reference to a "vacuum heat-insulated oil pipe and its manufacturing process" disclosed in the Chinese patent (application number 97115719.7). Tube, heat insulation layer, centralizing block, hydrogen absorbing agent, etc., wherein the structure of the heat insulating layer is: the inner tube is multi-layer aluminum foil, glass mesh is wound at intervals, the annular space is evacuated, and hydrogen absorbing agent is added. This kind of manufacturing process produces The heat-insulated oil casing has a good thermal conductivity, which plays a positive role in protecting the oil well casing, reducing the heat loss of the wellbore, and improving the injection-production effect. The existence of the phenomenon, the heat insulation performance of the heat insulation tubing has been significantly attenuated after about 2 years of steam injection and oil production in the downhole or 15 steam injection cycles, which seriously affects the service life of the heat insulation tubing. At the same time, the heat loss at the coupling joint is serious, causing the Casing damage occurs in the cementing casing, thus causing a huge waste of economic benefits
