Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field production technology, specifically relating to a combined drainage system and method for extending the life cycle of water-producing gas wells. Background Technology
[0002] Throughout the life cycle of a water-producing gas well, as production continues, the well's production capacity decreases. When it falls below the critical fluid carrying capacity, fluid can easily accumulate in the wellbore, leading to a significant reduction in gas well production or even shutdown. In such cases, fluid drainage measures are needed to remove the accumulated fluid and thus extend the gas well's life cycle.
[0003] The Changqing tight gas reservoir is a typical water-producing gas reservoir, currently containing over 15,000 liquid-laden gas wells, accounting for more than 50% of the total number of wells. The main drainage and gas production technologies are plunger lift, velocity tubing, and bubble drainage. Among these, bubble drainage and velocity tubing have reduced liquid-carrying effectiveness as well production decreases, and are primarily used for wells with daily gas production exceeding 5000 m³ / h. 3 For gas wells, plunger lift is the most widely applicable, capable of meeting daily production needs of 2000m³. 3 The above describes the production process of gas wells with fluid drainage. However, because the plunger gas lift relies on the gas well's own energy for intermittent fluid drainage, when the gas well's production capacity further decreases, there are instances where the plunger lifts the fluid column in the wellbore to the middle of the tubing, but falls back to the bottom of the well due to insufficient energy. This repeated occurrence leads to severe fluid accumulation and water flooding in the gas well, resulting in production shutdown.
[0004] For wells with severe fluid accumulation and plugging, pumping is a forced fluid removal and production recovery process. A pumping tool is connected to a steel wire and lowered below the fluid level in the tubing. The fluid in the wellbore is then lifted using the power of a surface winch, which helps the plugged gas lift well resume production. However, because the gas well itself has low energy, the plug will soon be unable to drain the fluid, and the gas well will quickly flood and shut down again, failing to achieve the goal of extending the gas well's life cycle.
[0005] Chinese patent document CN117846550A discloses an integrated tubing string for gas lift, mechanical pumping combined lifting, and non-killing well operations. This tubing string structure includes a rod-type pump lifting system, a gas lift system, and a non-killing well operation device. Oil flow is achieved by installing an oil outlet joint and a fixed valve seat under the sucker rod. Different operating states are achieved by setting a central rod and a guide shield. This tubing string effectively combines gas-proof lift, gas-operated lift, and non-killing well operations, solving the problems of poor adaptability to existing gas-proof production and low well-killing success rates in high-yield gas wells. However, this document does not solve the problems of difficulty in lifting and draining the plunger in the later stages of production in existing water-producing gas wells and rapid water flooding after resumption of production. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Example 1:
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a combined drainage system for extending the lifespan of a water-producing gas well is disclosed. A Christmas tree is installed at the wellhead. The combined drainage system includes a tower 1, an operating platform 2, a control system 3, a wire rope winch hoisting device 4, a blowout preventer 5, a downhole pumping tool 6, and a downhole plunger tool 7.

[0036] Specifically, for gas wells with low energy levels in the later stages of production, the tower 1 is fixed next to the wellhead to facilitate the installation of the operating platform 2, control system 3, wire rope winch hoisting device 4, and blowout preventer 5, making reasonable use of space.

[0048] Specifically, the braking system 402 facilitates the control of the start and stop of the motor 401.
[0049] Example 3:
[0050] Based on Embodiment 2, the blowout preventer 5 includes a blowout preventer box 501, a blowout preventer 502, a hydraulic control device 503, a blowout preventer pipe 504, and a valve 505. The blowout preventer box 501, the blowout preventer 502, the blowout preventer pipe 504, and the wellhead are connected sequentially from top to bottom. The hydraulic control device 503 is connected to the tower 1. The blowout preventer box 501 and the blowout preventer 502 are both connected to the hydraulic control device 503. The blowout preventer pipe 504 and the wellhead are connected through the valve 505.
[0051] Specifically, the steel wire 407 passes sequentially through the pulley 405, blowout preventer box 501, blowout preventer 502, and blowout preventer pipe 504 before connecting to the downhole pumping tool 6. The hydraulic control device 503 facilitates the monitoring and control of the hydraulic pressure of the blowout preventer box 501 and blowout preventer 502. The blowout preventer 5 ensures the wellhead is sealed during the retrieval and drainage process, guaranteeing the safety of the operation.
[0052] Preferably, the valve 505 is an electrically controlled valve, which offers a high degree of automation.
[0053] Preferably, a pressure sensor is installed on the wellhead for easy monitoring of hydraulic pressure.
[0054] Example 4:
[0055] Based on Embodiment 3, the downhole pumping tool 6 includes an anti-overhead tool 601 and a pumping plunger 602. The anti-overhead tool 601 is connected to the pumping plunger 602 at the bottom, and the steel wire 407 is connected to the upper end of the anti-overhead tool 601.
[0056] Specifically, the anti-overhead tool 601 and the suction plunger 602 facilitate the retrieval and lifting of liquid remaining on the upper part of the single-flow buffer limiter 701 to the ground, and the structure is simple.
[0057] Example 5:
[0058] Based on Example 4, the downhole plunger tool 7 includes a single-flow buffer limiter 701, a plunger 702, and a bottom hole limiter 703, which are installed sequentially from top to bottom.
[0059] Specifically, the downhole plunger tool 7 is a bottom first-stage plunger for fluid lifting, which can fully utilize reservoir energy to first lift the bottom fluid to the upper part of the single-flow buffer limiter 701. The single-flow buffer limiter 701 has the function of unidirectional flow of gas and liquid from bottom to top, preventing liquid backflow and ensuring that the liquid can stay in the upper part of the single-flow buffer limiter 701.
[0060] Preferably, the single-flow buffer limiter 701 is provided with a ball seat and a valve ball, with the valve ball resting on the ball seat.
[0061] Specifically, the single-flow buffer limiter 701 is equipped with a ball seat and a valve ball. After the lower plunger 702 moves up to the single-flow buffer limiter 701, after a period of production, the liquid entering the upper part of the single-flow buffer limiter 701 begins to fall back. The valve ball falls onto the ball seat, limiting the liquid from falling below the single-flow buffer limiter 701, thus preventing the liquid from falling back.
[0062] Preferably, the control system 3 is electrically connected to the motor 401, depth sensor 404, tension sensor 406, hydraulic control device 503, valve 505, and pressure sensor 506 respectively.
[0063] Example 6:
[0064] Based on Example 5, a combined drainage method for extending the life cycle of a water-producing gas well includes the following steps:
[0065] 1) After the well is opened, the plunger 702 lifts the liquid at the bottom of the well to above the single-flow buffer limiter 701, and the liquid above the single-flow buffer limiter 701 causes the valve ball to fall back to the ball seat.
[0066] 2) After the well is shut in, the plunger 702 falls above the bottom limiter 703, and the wire rope winch hoisting device 4 lowers the downhole pumping tool 6 above the single-flow buffer limiter 701 via the wire rope 407.
[0067] 3) After the well is opened by controlling the opening of valve 505, the wire rope winch hoisting device 4 uses wire rope 407 to lift the downhole pumping tool 6 into the blowout preventer 504 and discharge the accumulated liquid above the single-flow buffer limiter 701.
[0068] 4) Keep valve 505 fully open so that plunger 702 lifts the fluid at the bottom of the well to above the single-flow buffer limiter 701; repeat steps 3) to 4) to complete the drainage.
[0069] This invention combines plunger gas lift and pumping processes for gas wells with low energy levels in the later stages of production, using a staged lifting method to raise wellbore fluid. This method reduces the travel distance of the plunger and pumping tools, thereby reducing wear and extending tool replacement time by more than double. Furthermore, conventional pumping processes involve long-distance retrieval and drainage from the well bottom to the wellhead, resulting in significant leakage. This invention, through a first-stage plunger at the bottom, fully utilizes reservoir energy to lift the bottom fluid to the upper part of a single-flow buffer limiter. The single-flow buffer limiter has a unidirectional flow function from bottom to top, preventing backflow and ensuring the fluid remains at the upper part of the single-flow buffer limiter, where it is then lifted to the surface by the second-stage pumping tool, i.e., the downhole pumping tool 6. The application of the first-stage plunger technology can significantly reduce the second-stage pumping and retrieval stroke, reduce liquid loss, and improve drainage efficiency. This combined drainage system and method can achieve better drainage and gas production effects, solving the problems of the plunger being difficult to lift and drain in the later stage of existing water-producing gas wells and rapid water flooding after resumption of production, extending the life cycle of gas wells and improving the final recovery rate of gas wells.

[0073] 2) Deploy the bottom stop device 703 at the bottom of the tubing using the wire winch 403, and then deploy the plunger 702.
[0074] 3) Deploy a single-flow buffer limiter 701 at the middle position of the oil pipe;
[0075] 4) The wire rope winch 403 connects to the downhole pumping tool 6 and remains inside the blowout preventer 504, controlling the blowout preventer box 501 to maintain a seal;
[0076] 5) After the well is opened, the plunger 702 at the bottom lifts the liquid at the bottom of the well to above the single-flow buffer limiter 701, and the valve ball falls back to the ball seat under the action of the liquid column;
[0077] 6) After the well is shut in, the plunger 702 falls above the bottom limiter 703, and the wire rope winch 403 is controlled to lower the downhole pumping tool 6 to above the single-flow buffer limiter 701, and the wire rope winch 403 stops running.
[0078] 7) After opening the well, control the valve 505 (electric valve) to lift the downhole pumping tool 6 into the blowout preventer 504 to discharge the liquid above the single-flow buffer limiter 701. Control the blowout preventer box 501 to completely seal the wire through the control system 3.
