Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas well operations, and in particular to a fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge. Background Art

[0002] Fuling shale gas field, as the main battlefield of Jianghan Oilfield to maintain oil and gas production, has entered the mid-term development. Pressure drop has a great impact on production. Using gas lift drainage is an important means to increase production. Therefore, pipe inspection is a key link in gas lift drainage. There are about 500 gas wells in Fuling shale gas field, with an average well depth of about 2400-2800 meters. Each well uses about 340-400 pipes. According to the calculation of 200 wells inspected per year, the number of ground pipes inspected is about 80,000 or more. If the inspection is carried out according to the current means, this process alone will waste 2,400 hours of labor per year. Not only is the labor intensity high and the efficiency low, but there is also the possibility of missed inspections. Therefore, Wu Jinong Innovation Studio independently developed a fully automatic tubing inner diameter inspection gauge for the inspection of the inner diameter of new tubing. It is not only safe and reliable to use, but also reduces the labor intensity of workers. After the promotion of the fully automatic tubing inner diameter inspection gauge, only two operators are needed to inspect the tubing of a well, and the tubing inspection of a well can be completed in 40 minutes, which can achieve the same day of moving and lowering the pipe. Therefore, the development and promotion of fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauges has great economic and social benefits.

[0003] In oil and gas well operations, in order to prevent the deformation of the oil pipe and the debris contained in the inner wall of the oil pipe from affecting its internal permeability, the inner diameter of each oil pipe must be tested. The traditional method is to use a diameter gauge that is about 2mm smaller than the inner diameter of the oil pipe to pass through the inner hole of the oil pipe. If it can pass smoothly, it is qualified. Since the traditional diameter gauge itself has no driving function, there are three main ways to test the oil pipe: the first is to put the diameter gauge into the inner hole of the oil pipe, use the steam generated by the boiler car as power, and spray the diameter gauge from the insertion end to the other end. The biggest advantage of this method is that it can use the heat of steam to melt the dead oil and wax in the pipe and bring it out with the water vapor, which is beneficial to cleaning the pipe wall. It is most suitable for the original well pipe column and old oil pipes. However, its disadvantages are also obvious. Since its power is the steam generated by the boiler car, when the steam cools into liquid, the liquid will mix with the dissolved oil and flow to the ground to cause environmental pollution. The high temperature and high pressure of steam also pose a great safety hazard, especially the instantaneous impact force of the high pressure ejecting the diameter gauge, which can eject the diameter gauge more than 10 meters away. If no special protection is taken, it will also cause harm to the operator; in addition, the equipment and connecting pipelines need to be placed in a place, and there are certain requirements for the construction site area. The second method is to put the diameter gauge into the inner hole of the oil pipe, and two people lift a long pole to push the diameter gauge from the insertion end to the other end. This method is simple and easy to operate, and the cost is also low; but the biggest disadvantage is that it is labor-intensive, requires a large number of people, and also requires enough space to ensure that there is enough space when the long pole is withdrawn. The third method is to tie a wire rope to one end of the diameter gauge, first pass the wire rope through the inner hole of the oil pipe, and rely on the traction of the wire rope to pull the diameter gauge from the insertion end to the other end. Although these three methods can detect the inner diameter of the oil pipe, they are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also result in missed detections. Summary of the invention

The second driving wheel 34 is disposed in the second openings 38 and is used to movably move on the inner wall of the oil pipe 3 and move in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the housing 2 .

[0068] The driving part uses two DC all-metal gear dual-axis TT reduction motors (i.e., the first reduction motor 27 and the second reduction motor 33) as power. The first reduction motor 27 can rotate slightly on the first connecting shaft 26; the first damping spring is pressed in, and the first reduction motor 27 drives the two first driving wheels 28 to always be close to the inner wall of the oil pipe 3 under the action of the spring force; the first damping spring is fixed in the preset groove of the upper first fixing frame 25 through the first clamping block 29.

[0069] It should be noted that the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge uses a 18650 rechargeable lithium battery 18 as a power source, two TT reduction motors (i.e., the first reduction motor 27 and the second reduction motor 33) as power, and then uses a touch-type micro switch 7 for control, so as to fully automatically detect the inner hole of the new oil pipe 3.

[0070] Specifically, the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge uses two 3.7V rechargeable 18650 lithium batteries 18 connected in series to form a 7.4V as a power source, with a capacity of 3400mah, which can ensure a battery life of more than 3 hours.

[0071] When the fully-automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge is put into the oil pipe 3, the touch-type microswitch 7 is pressed by the inner wall of the oil pipe 3. At this time, the power is turned on, and the reduction motor drives the four driving wheels (i.e., two first driving wheels 28 and two second driving wheels 34) to start moving forward; during its walking process, the fully-automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge always remains in a centered state under the action of the four straightening wheels 5 evenly distributed at the front end; at the same time, a first shock-absorbing spring is installed on the upper part of the first reduction motor 27, and the first driving wheel 28 is always in close contact with the inner wall of the oil pipe 3 under the action of the first shock-absorbing spring; a second shock-absorbing spring 37 is installed on the upper part of the second reduction motor 33, and the second driving wheel 34 is always in close contact with the inner wall of the oil pipe 3 under the action of the second shock-absorbing spring 37 and the clamping wheel 36; when the fully-automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge reaches the end point, the touch-type microswitch 7 is disengaged and the power is cut off, and the inspection gauge is taken out, thereby completing the detection of the inner diameter of a new oil pipe 3.

[0072] In order to achieve full automation, the touch-type microswitch 7 adopts a pulley pressure rod contact switch. When the fully-automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge is placed in the inner hole of the oil pipe 3, the pulley of the pulley pressure rod contact switch is pressed and energized, and the first reduction motor 27 and the second reduction motor 33 start to move; when the fully-automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge reaches the end point, the pulley of the pulley pressure rod contact switch disengages and the power is cut off, so that the first drive wheel 28 and the second drive wheel 34 are powered off to achieve braking.

[0073] In addition, since the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge is made using 3D modeling technology and 3D printing technology, and is made of polylactic acid (H-[OCHCH3CO]n-OH) (also known as polylactide) material with excellent heat resistance, fast molding speed, strong thermal stability, and biodegradability, it breaks through the traditional processing methods and has a clever design, compact structure, and reliable operation.

[0074] In summary, the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge of the present application is used to inspect the inner diameter of the oil pipe 3 before oil and gas well operations. It can not only inspect the internal passability of the oil pipe 3, but also reduce the labor intensity of workers. When the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge is put into the oil pipe 3, the touch-type microswitch 7 is pressed by the inner wall of the oil pipe 3. At this time, the power is turned on, and the first reduction motor 27 drives the two first drive wheels 28 to start moving forward, and the second reduction motor 33 drives the two second drive wheels 34 to start moving forward; during the walking process, the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge always remains in a centered state under the support of the four straightening wheels 5 evenly distributed at the front end; at the same time, since the second shock-absorbing spring 37 is installed on the upper part of the second reduction motor 33, the second drive wheel 34 can always be close to the inner wall of the oil pipe 3 under the joint action of the second shock-absorbing spring 37 and the clamping wheel 36; when the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge reaches the end point, the touch-type microswitch 7 breaks away from the contact with the oil pipe 3 and the power is cut off, and the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge is taken out, thereby completing the detection of the inner diameter of an oil pipe 3. It can be seen that the fully automatic oil pipe inner diameter inspection gauge can realize fully automatic inspection of the inner diameter of the oil pipe 3 before going down the well; at the same time, the inspection of each well can effectively reduce the well occupation time by 8 hours; in addition, the actual number of oil pipes 3 in each well can be counted and displayed in real time through the inspection of the device; furthermore, the device can measure the length of each oil pipe 3, and the measured data can be accumulated and saved. In short, the device has a simple structure, is easy to use, and saves trouble and labor.
