Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and natural gas production equipment, and in particular relates to an oil and gas well liquid accumulation-free production and drainage system. Background Art
[0002] Oil and gas wells are usually provided with casings in the wells, and a production string consisting of several oil and gas pipes (also called oil pipes in this industry) connected end to end is provided in the casings. When in use, the gas-liquid mixture at the bottom of the oil and gas well is usually sprayed upward to the ground through the production string under the action of pressure difference to realize oil and gas production. However, in the process of oil and gas production, as the production time increases, the formation pressure gradually decreases and the water content of crude oil gradually increases, which leads to a decrease in the pressure difference between the liquid column and the formation, making the slippage of the liquid column more and more serious, and finally causing the oil and gas well to stop spraying, which seriously affects the output of the oil and gas well.
[0003] To solve this problem, the commonly used methods are to reduce the density of the gas-liquid mixture by gas lift and bubble drainage, use electric submersible pumps, plunger drainage to lift the liquid column, and use the method of lowering small pipe strings to increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture. However, these methods have great limitations for the exploitation of natural gas. For example, the gas lift technology is used to inject gas into the casing into the oil and gas pipe to reduce the liquid density. When exploiting natural gas, the inside of the oil and gas pipe is mainly gas, and the pressure difference is very small. The opening and closing of the gas lift valve is controlled by the pressure difference, which seriously affects the opening and closing of the gas lift valve. Therefore, the gas lift technology is only applicable to It is suitable for crude oil extraction (the density of crude oil is large, and the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the oil and gas pipe is large), but not suitable for natural gas extraction. Secondly, the gas supply hole of the gas lift valve is usually a straight hole. The gas introduced into the oil and gas pipe can only reduce the density of the gas-liquid mixture in the oil and gas pipe, but cannot increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture. Therefore, its effect in preventing slippage is also general. In addition, there are also one-way valves set in the oil and gas pipe to prevent the liquid column from slipping, but the one-way valve of this method occupies the central channel of the production pipe string, making it impossible to install other downhole tools and detect various downhole parameters, such as temperature and pressure.
[0004] Therefore, how to increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the oil and gas wells and improve the gas-liquid carrying capacity of the oil and gas wells without occupying the central channel of the production string is crucial to improving the recovery rate of oil and gas wells, especially the natural gas recovery rate of gas wells.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. The present invention sets a jet hole swirl block in the gas supply channel connecting the inside and outside of the production string. When the gas passes through the jet hole swirl block, a Laval effect can be formed to accelerate the gas flow entering the gas supply channel, so that it is sprayed into the inside of the production string at high speed, thereby forming a negative pressure area near the jet hole A of the production string, thereby increasing the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the production string. Compared with the prior art, it not only uses gas to dilute and atomize the gas-liquid mixture in the production string, thereby reducing its density, but also increases the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the production string, further avoiding its slippage problem.
[0030] 2. The present invention eccentrically arranges the gas supply channel connecting the interior of the production tubing and the annular space, so that the gas can move upward in a spiral when it is sprayed into the production tubing. Compared with the vertical upward movement in the prior art, the Bernoulli principle of the supplied gas can be used to form a lifting force on the original gas-liquid mixture in the production tubing, further preventing it from slipping.
[0031] 3. When natural gas rises in the production string, the gas-liquid mixture is rubbed by the inner wall of the production string, and the speed will gradually decrease. The friction resistance of the production string is transmitted from the periphery of the pipe to the center of the pipe by the viscosity of the gas-liquid mixture. Therefore, the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture decreases quickly near the inner wall of the production string, while the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the center of the production string decreases slowly. This causes liquid to fall along the inner wall of the pipe body, thereby causing the gas well to be flooded. In order to solve this problem, the present invention adds an anti-skid device at each certain distance. The liquid accumulator is provided with a liquid receiving groove and a guide plate on the inner wall of the pipe body, and a gas branch channel passing through the liquid receiving groove is provided on the inner wall of the pipe body. The liquid falling along the pipe wall is guided into the liquid receiving groove by the guide plate to prevent it from sliding to the bottom of the well. In the process of oil and gas rising along the central gas channel, part of the gas is diverted by the gas branch channel so that the liquid in the liquid receiving groove is taken out in the process of passing through the liquid receiving groove and continues to rise along the production pipe string, thereby avoiding the problem of overflow of the accumulated liquid due to increasing liquid accumulation in the liquid receiving groove and continued sliding after the overflow. In addition, when natural gas is ejected from the gas branch pipeline, the upward airflow can be used to form an upward support force on the liquid on the pipe wall, which can further block the downward movement of the liquid on the pipe wall. In summary, the present invention greatly improves the liquid carrying capacity of natural gas by using the annular liquid receiving groove, the guide plate and the branch gas channel in combination, and avoids the problem of gas well flooding caused by the downward movement of liquid. Compared with the gas lift technology of oil and gas wells, it can be applied not only to oil wells, but also to gas wells, and does not require additional energy. The liquid carrying capacity of natural gas can be improved by using the energy of the production layer itself. It has wider applicability and lower cost.
[0032] In summary, the present invention, on the one hand, utilizes the anti-slip injection hole structure for improvement, so that it can increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the production tubing, and on the other hand, adds an anti-slip liquid reservoir on the production tubing, which can make full use of the production layer pressure without occupying the central channel of the production tubing, thereby improving the gas-liquid carrying capacity of the oil and gas wells, achieving the effect of no liquid accumulation, and improving the recovery rate of oil and gas. The present invention can be applied not only to oil wells, but also to gas wells, solving the problem of liquid slippage in the production process of oil and gas wells, as well as the problems of gas well flooding and low natural gas recovery rate caused by the decrease in the liquid carrying capacity of the gas wells.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0048] In the present invention, the term "liquid accumulation free" is explained as follows: slippage refers to the phenomenon that in a gas-liquid two-phase pipe flow, gas exceeds the flow of liquid due to the density difference between gas and liquid; due to the existence of the slippage phenomenon, the gas phase in the wellbore of the oil and gas well is insufficient to carry the liquid phase, resulting in the liquid phase falling back to the bottom of the well, accumulating step by step to form liquid accumulation; liquid accumulation free means hindering the formation of liquid accumulation, preventing the production of oil and gas wells from being affected by the liquid accumulation in the production tubing, which is called liquid accumulation free.

[0078] Example 3
[0079] The liquid accumulation-free oil and gas well system described in Example 1 or Example 2 can be applied to oil wells or gas wells where gas and liquid coexist.
[0080] As an embodiment of the application of the present invention, the gas well includes a natural gas well, a shale gas well, a gas lift well, etc.;

[0083] The use method and principle of the present invention:
[0084] During the production of oil and gas wells, the gas-liquid mixture in the main gas channel 2 on the production pipe string 33 is ejected upward along the production pipe string 33 under the action of the pressure difference. As the oil and gas production time increases, the pressure difference decreases. Under the action of the friction force of the inner wall of the production pipe string 33, the speed of the gas-liquid mixture in the inner wall area of the production pipe string 33 decreases faster than that in the central area. This causes the liquid on the inner wall of the production pipe string 33 to slide down along the pipe wall. During the sliding process, when the liquid slides down to the anti-slip accumulator 35, it will drip into the annular receiving liquid along the annular guide plate 4 The gas-liquid mixture running upward along the main gas pipeline will partially enter the gas branch channel when passing through the gas inlet 8. During the gas running along the gas branch channel, the liquid received in the annular liquid receiving groove 3 is blown out and carried to enter the main gas channel 2 again, thereby avoiding the liquid from sliding down at the pipe wall and improving the liquid carrying capacity of the liquid. In addition, when the gas in the gas branch channel is blown out, a supporting force is formed on the liquid at the pipe wall, and the channel for the liquid on the inner wall of the production pipe string 33 to slide down is blocked, thereby avoiding the liquid from continuing to fall.
[0085] In addition, when exploiting oil and gas wells with low pressure and output, high-pressure gas can also be introduced into the annular space 34. When the high-pressure gas enters the interior of the production tubing 33 through the anti-slip gas injector 36, the setting of the jet hole A23 on the anti-slip gas injection hole structure can accelerate the gas and increase the flow speed of the gas-liquid mixture in the production tubing 33, thereby avoiding its slippage. In addition, when the gas supply channel 21 adopts an eccentric setting, the gas entering the production tubing 33 from the annular space 34 will spiral upward, forming a supporting force on the gas-liquid mixture in the production tubing 33, further avoiding its slippage.
[0086] In summary, on the one hand, the present invention improves the anti-slip injection hole structure so that it can increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the production tubing 33. On the other hand, an anti-slip liquid reservoir 35 is added to the production tubing 33, which can reduce the slippage of the liquid without occupying the central channel of the production tubing 33, thereby improving the gas-liquid carrying capacity of the oil and gas wells, making full use of the production layer pressure, and improving the oil and gas recovery rate. The present invention can be applied not only to oil wells, but also to gas wells, solving the problem of liquid slippage in the production process of oil and gas wells, as well as the problems of gas well flooding and low natural gas recovery rate caused by the decrease in the liquid carrying capacity of the gas wells.
[0087] Effect example: Application example of SuXX-XXH natural gas self-flowing well
[0088] Since the contents of each operation section before and after the construction are different and the time used is quite different, it is impossible to compare and analyze the changes of the drainage one by one. Therefore, in the inducing stage of the natural gas self-flowing well, the present invention compares the changes of the gas lift drainage and the hourly drainage volume of the gas lift inducing the gas lift and the gas lift inducing the gas lift inducing the gas lift ( Fig.10 ), and after the well is handed over, the gas production data when the present invention is used for stable production is recorded ( Fig.11 ), the result is as follows:
[0089] 1. The first gas lift induced blowout (the traditional gas lift induced blowout before the production string of the present invention is run): the well was opened for 3 hours before gas lift, 4 hours after gas lift, and the well was opened for 46 hours after stopping the well lift, a total of 53 hours, the highest casing pressure was 20.8MPa, the lowest was 2.1MPa, and the cumulative liquid output was 61.5m 3 , the maximum liquid output per hour is 8.4m 3 The average liquid output per hour is about 1.16m 3 ;
[0090] 2. Second gas lift induced blowout (using the production string of the present invention): After the production string 33 of the present invention replaced the production string 33 of the conventional gas lift technology, i.e. the technology of the present invention, the gas lift was performed for 26 hours, the well was shut down after the lifting was stopped for 29 hours, a total of 55 hours, and the cumulative liquid output was 129.8m 3 , the maximum liquid output per hour is 8.1m 3The average liquid output per hour is about 2.36m 3 .
[0091] From the above results we can see that:
[0092] 1. After the gas lift well is transformed according to the present invention, when the time used for gas lift exceeds that before the transformation, the average liquid output per hour of the gas lift is still more than twice the average liquid output per hour before the transformation.
[0093] 2. In the traditional gas lift technology, the maximum pressure of the gas lift operation is 20.8MPa, but after applying the present invention, the maximum gas lift pressure is only 13.58MPa. Therefore, it can be explained that compared with the traditional gas lift technology, the gas lift pressure required by the present invention is lower.
[0094] Lower pressure required for post-start wells;
[0095] 3. From Fig.10 It can be seen that during the first gas lift to induce blowout, the pressure in the casing 32 suddenly dropped after the gas lift was opened, and the pressure in the casing 32 was 5.9 MPa when the pump was stopped, resulting in insufficient pressure in the casing 32 during blowout. However, when the present invention is used, when the pressure reaches a maximum of 13.58 MPa, a slow drop occurs, and after the gas lift is stopped, the casing pressure is 13.05 MPa and the pressure still keeps dropping slowly. Therefore, it can be proved that the present invention can make full use of the pressure stored in the casing 32 during gas lift to ensure stable production.
[0096] 4. Fig.11 This is the production situation 12 days after the well was handed over. It is divided into 4 stages from left to right: The first stage is the blue area, which is the first well opening after the well was handed over for 20 hours. Judging from the production temperature, the water content is relatively high. The second stage is the black area, and the production situation in this area is shut-in. The third stage is the red area. During this stage, the production fluctuation is relatively large, and large amounts of gas and liquid are discharged intermittently. It is judged that the well-killing fluid entering the bottom layer is being produced. (After the gas lift is completed after the construction, the remaining fracturing fluid and well-killing fluid in the well total 201m 3 ); The fourth stage is the green area. After a large amount of liquid is produced in the well, the production tends to be stable and stable gas-liquid mixed production begins.
[0097] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not exhaustive of the feasible implementations of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any obvious changes made thereto without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention should be considered to be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
