Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil drilling, in particular to a high-density drilling fluid desanding and demud removing cleaner and a vertical drum processor. Background Art

[0002] In oil drilling operations, the equipment used for solid-phase separation of drilling fluid generally adopts drilling fluid desander and desilter, which are collectively referred to as drilling fluid cleaners, and both use a group of hydrocyclones for solid-liquid separation.

[0003] In the cyclone separation stage of high-density drilling fluid, there are still some problems that need to be solved on site. The main manifestations are: under high-density conditions, especially when the density exceeds 2.0g / cm 3 At the same time, the existing desanders and desilters become less effective, and in severe cases, there is even no solid phase discharged from the bottom flow port. As a result, the solid particles in the drilling fluid continue to increase, increasing the workload of the downstream centrifuge and the probability of the centrifuge getting stuck or blocked, which leads to serious wear of equipment such as mud pumps, drill bits, drilling tools, and downhole instruments, reduced drilling speed, and even stuck drilling and drilling stoppage, while affecting the quality of electrical measurement and cementing, and reducing the permeability of oil and gas layers and oil and gas production capacity. At the same time, due to the high density of the drilling fluid, the use effect of the centrifuge becomes worse, and some drilling teams even do not use the centrifuge directly. At this time, the entire drilling fluid purification system only relies on the vibrating screen to process the drilling fluid, which not only reduces the quality of drilling fluid purification and increases the complexity of the downhole, but also wastes a lot of energy and accelerates the wear of equipment.

[0004] The horizontal centrifugal desanding and desilting integrated machine in the prior art is only suitable for solid phase separation of drilling fluid under low density conditions. When the density of the drilling fluid is greater than 1.8g / cm 3 At the same time, the horizontal centrifugal sand and mud removal machine is easily blocked and cannot meet the on-site needs.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention provides a high-density drilling fluid desanding and desilting cleaner, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a high-density drilling fluid desanding and desilting cleaner of the present application, wherein the high-density drilling fluid desanding and desilting cleaner comprises: a vertical drum processor 1, a cleaning vibrating screen 8 and a desilting cyclone 11;

[0044] The processor overflow port 3 of the vertical drum processor 1 is connected to the cyclone liquid inlet of the desilting cyclone 11, and the processor underflow port of the vertical drum processor 1 is connected to the vibrating screen liquid inlet of the cleaning vibrating screen 8;

[0045] The cyclone underflow port of the desilting cyclone 11 is connected to the vibrating screen liquid inlet of the cleaning vibrating screen 8 .

[0046] It should be noted that the high-density drilling fluid enters the vertical drum processor 1, which can separate large-particle cuttings larger than 40 μm and some barite, and can reduce the density and viscosity of the high-density drilling fluid, increase the density difference between the cuttings and the drilling fluid, and the large-particle cuttings larger than 40 μm and some barite enter the cleaning vibrating screen 8 through the low flow port, and the remaining drilling fluid enters the desilting cyclone 11 through the processor overflow port 3 for treatment, and the cuttings and barite larger than 20 μm in the drilling fluid are removed, and the desilting cyclone 11 is discharged to the cleaning vibrating screen 8 through the cyclone bottom flow port of the desilting cyclone 11, and the cleaning vibrating screen 8 removes the cuttings larger than 20 μm and recovers the barite, thereby achieving the removal of solid phases larger than 20 μm in the high-density drilling fluid.

[0048] Further, it also includes: a driving motor 2 for driving the vertical drum processor 1;

[0049] The processor overflow port 3 is arranged on the side wall of the vertical drum processor 1;

[0050] A processor liquid inlet pipe 18 is provided at the bottom of the vertical drum processor 1 .

[0051] It should be noted that the driving motor 2 can drive the vertical drum processor 1 to process the high-density drilling fluid, so that large-particle cuttings larger than 40 μm and part of barite are separated from the high-density drilling fluid.

[0052] The processor liquid inlet pipe 18 is mainly used to introduce high-density drilling fluid into the vertical drum processor 1.

[0053] Further, it also includes: a base 6, a support spring 16 and a lifting device 17;

[0054] The cleaning vibration screen 8 is fixed to the base 6 via the support spring 16;

[0055] The lifting device 17 is fixed on the base 6 and is used to adjust the inclination angle of the cleaning vibration screen 8 .

[0056] It should be noted that, by providing the lifting device 17 , the inclination angle of the cleaning vibration screen 8 can be changed by adjusting the lifting device 17 , and the inclination angle refers to the angle between the cleaning vibration screen 8 and the base.

[0057] Preferably, the inclination angle ranges from -2° to +6°.

[0058] It should be noted that the tilt angle can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to -2° to +6°.

[0059] Further, it also includes: a drilling fluid buffer tank 4;

[0060] The buffer tank inlet of the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 is connected to the processor overflow port 3 of the vertical drum processor 1 , and the buffer tank outlet of the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 is connected to the cyclone inlet of the desilting cyclone 11 .

[0061] It should be noted that by setting up the drilling fluid buffer tank 4, when the drilling fluid overflowing from the processor overflow port 3 of the vertical drum processor 1 is insufficient, the amount of drilling fluid entering the desilting cyclone 11 can be guaranteed, thereby realizing that the vertical drum processor 1, the desilting cyclone 11 and the cleaning vibrating screen 8 are all in a continuous working state.

[0062] Further, it also includes: a centrifugal pump 7;

[0063] The centrifugal pump inlet of the centrifugal pump 7 is connected to the buffer tank outlet of the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 , and the centrifugal pump outlet of the centrifugal pump 7 is connected to the cyclone inlet of the desilting cyclone 11 .

[0064] It should be noted that the centrifugal pump 7 is mainly used to transport the drilling fluid in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 to the desilting cyclone 11 , so as to continuously transport the drilling fluid to the desilting cyclone 11 .

[0068] It should be noted that the electrical control cabinet 10 controls the motor speed of the centrifugal pump 7 through the detection signal of the liquid level sensor 5. When the liquid level sensor 5 sends a signal that the amount of drilling fluid in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 is too low, the electrical control cabinet 10 controls the motor speed of the centrifugal pump 7 to decrease, so that the flow rate of drilling fluid extracted by the centrifugal pump 7 in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 is reduced, so as to ensure that the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 can continuously transport drilling fluid to the desilting cyclone 11; when the liquid level sensor 5 sends a signal that the amount of drilling fluid in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 is too high, the electrical control cabinet 10 controls the motor speed of the centrifugal pump 7 to increase, so that the flow rate of drilling fluid extracted by the centrifugal pump 7 in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 is increased, so as to prevent the drilling fluid in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 from overflowing.

[0069] Further, it also includes: a butterfly valve 19;

[0070] The butterfly valve 19 is installed near the bottom of the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 and is used to drain the drilling fluid in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 .

[0071] It should be noted that after the entire equipment stops working, the drilling fluid in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4 can be discharged by opening the butterfly valve 19, which can prevent the rock cuttings and barite in the drilling fluid from being deposited in the drilling fluid buffer tank 4.

[0072] Specifically, there are multiple desilting cyclones 11 connected in parallel.

[0073] It should be noted that by arranging a plurality of desludging cyclones 11 side by side, the processing amount of drilling fluid can be increased per unit time.

[0074] Further, it also includes: a liquid inlet pipe ball valve 12 and a cyclone liquid inlet pipe 9;

[0076] The other end of the cyclone liquid inlet pipe 9 is connected to the processor overflow port 3 of the vertical drum processor 1 .

[0077] It should be noted that the liquid inlet pipe ball valve 12 can control the delivery amount of the drilling fluid when the vertical drum processor 1 delivers the drilling fluid to the desilting cyclone 11 through the cyclone liquid inlet pipe 9 .

[0078] Further, it also includes: an overflow pipe ball valve 15 and a cyclone overflow pipe 14;

[0079] One end of the overflow pipe ball valve 15 is connected to the cyclone overflow port 3 of the desilting cyclone 11 , and the other end is connected to the cyclone overflow pipe 14 .

[0080] It should be noted that the overflow pipe ball valve 15 can control the amount of drilling fluid overflowing from the desilting cyclone 11 to the cyclone overflow pipe 14 .

[0081] In order to facilitate the understanding of the above scheme, Figure 1-Figure 5 , the scheme is further introduced below.

[0086] Preferably, the number of the desilting cyclones 11 fixed on the cyclone bracket 13 can be adjusted according to actual use requirements.

[0087] The present invention also provides a vertical drum processor, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The vertical drum processor 1 comprises: a power assembly, a vertical drum 23, a vertical screw pusher 24 and a processor liquid inlet pipe 18;

[0088] The vertical screw pusher 24 is arranged in the vertical drum 23, and an annular cavity is formed between the vertical screw pusher 24 and the vertical drum 23; the spiral blade 42 of the vertical screw pusher 24 is located in the annular cavity and directed downward; the output end of the power assembly can drive the vertical screw pusher 24 and the vertical drum 23 to rotate;

The vertical screw pusher 24 rotates driven by the power component, and the spiral blades 42 of the vertical screw pusher 24 stir the high-density drilling fluid containing a solid phase at a high speed to reduce the viscosity and shear force of the high-density drilling fluid. Under the action of its own gravity and the push of the spiral blades 42, the large particles of solid phase in the high-density drilling fluid are quickly discharged through the slag discharge port 36 set at the lower part of the side wall of the vertical drum 23, and the drilling fluid separated from the large particles of solid phase is discharged from the discharge port 28 opened on the upper part of the side wall and / or the top surface of the vertical drum 23, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the large particles of solid phase in the high-density drilling fluid.

[0118] To understand the above solution, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the scheme is further introduced below.

[0119] A vertical drum processor is mainly used to separate large-particle cuttings larger than 40μm, reduce the density and viscosity of overflow drilling fluid, increase the density difference between cuttings and drilling fluid, and ensure that the desilter can remove solid phases larger than 15μm in the overflow drilling fluid. In order to increase the processing capacity, the drum processor adopts a vertical structure.

[0120] The vertical drum processor 1 includes: a spiral blade 42, an outer shell 22, a vertical drum 23, a vertical spiral pusher 24, an inner partition 25, a discharge port 26, a first bearing 27, a drain port 28, a spline shaft 29, a second bearing 30, a differential 31, a torque limiter 32, an elastic pin coupling 33, a belt drive device 34, an outer partition 35, a slag discharge port 36, a third bearing 37, a support leg 38, a fourth bearing 39, a processor liquid inlet pipe 18, a shock absorber seat 41 and a spiral blade 42.

[0121] The processor fixing frame is fixed on the supporting legs, and supports the vertical roller processor and the side hanging motor.

[0122] The vertical drum processor outer shell has a liquid drain pipe welded to the upper part of the side surface and an outer partition welded to the middle of the interior.

[0123] Preferably, the outer shell of the vertical drum processor is an octagonal cylinder.

[0124] The vertical drum processor is connected to the output shaft of the differential through a spline shaft, and has evenly distributed drainage ports on the large end surface and the side surface.

[0125] Preferably, the vertical drum is a cone.

[0126] The vertical spiral pusher is connected to the output shaft of the differential through a spline shaft, an inner partition is welded inside, and evenly distributed discharge ports are opened on the outer side of the wall.

[0127] Preferably, it is a hollow cone.

[0128] The inner partition is welded to the inner circumference of the vertical spiral pusher.

[0129] Preferably, the inner partition is a circular plate with a circular hole in the middle.

[0130] The discharge ports are circular holes evenly distributed on the outer wall of the spiral pusher.

[0131] The liquid discharge port is located on the large end surface of the top of the vertical drum, and is a communicating hole between the large end surface and the side surface of the vertical drum.

[0132] One end of the spline shaft is connected to the vertical screw pusher, and the other end is connected to the belt pulley.

[0133] One end of the torque limiter is connected to the elastic pin coupling, and the other end is connected to the differential.

[0134] One end of the elastic pin coupling is connected to the torque limiter through a pin, and the other end is fixed.

[0135] One end of the belt transmission device is connected to the motor, and the other end is connected to the differential.

[0136] The motor is fixed on the processor fixing frame.

[0137] The outer partition plate is a circular ring plate welded to the circumference between the vertical drum and the outer shell.

[0138] The slag discharge port and the circular holes are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the lower end of the vertical drum.

[0144] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that in the vertical drum processor provided by the present invention, the motor and the differential of the vertical drum processor are on the same side, the differential has no auxiliary motor, the vertical drum is a conical structure, the outer shell is vertically mounted on the processor fixing frame, the drainage port is designed as a connecting hole between the large end face and the side of the vertical drum, and the spiral blade is a double spiral. When the vertical drum processor is working, the material enters the vertical spiral pusher through the liquid inlet pipe, and then enters between the vertical drum and the vertical spiral pusher through the discharge port. The high-speed stirring of the material by the double spiral blades reduces the viscosity and shear force of the high-density drilling fluid, and separates the large-particle rock cuttings above 40μm in the high-density drilling fluid. Under the action of the gravity of the rock cuttings themselves and the push of the double spiral blade vertical pusher, the large-particle rock cuttings are quickly discharged downward from the slag discharge port, greatly improving the processing capacity of the vertical drum processor, and the processed drilling fluid enters the outer shell upward, and then is discharged through the drainage pipe on the outer shell. It can be seen from the above that the present invention is suitable for high-density drilling fluid processing, has a large processing capacity, and has a compact structure and beautiful appearance.

[0145] The present application mainly reduces the viscosity and shear force of high-density drilling fluid by stirring the material at high speed with double helical blades, thereby separating large-particle rock cuttings in the high-density drilling fluid, and discharging the large-particle rock cuttings through the slag discharge port under the action of the rock cuttings' own gravity and the push of the double helical blades.
