Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water injection technology, and more specifically, to a split-type concentric water distributor for use in scaled wells. Background Technology
[0002] A water distributor is a specialized downhole tool used in stratified water injection to quantitatively inject water into each oil layer. It mainly consists of a water distribution body, water nozzles, nozzle bodies, pressure caps, and sealing rings. In stratified water injection wells, the technology of using water nozzles of different diameters in a stratified water distribution string to achieve quantitative water injection in different layers is called stratified water distribution. To resolve inter-layer conflicts, it rationally distributes injected water to each layer, maintaining formation pressure. Water injection is controlled in layers with good permeability and strong water absorption capacity, while water injection is strengthened in oil layers with poor permeability and weak water absorption capacity. This ensures that formations with different permeability can all play a role in water injection, achieving long-term high and stable oil production and improving ultimate recovery rate.

[0020] 3. Beneficial effects
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:
[0022] (1) When water injection into the well is required, this solution first detects the oil well and analyzes the amount of water needed at the well location. The controller is then set, and the upper and lower interfaces are connected to the external equipment. The device is placed into the scaled well and moved to the designated position within the well. The servo motor is then powered on, and the external equipment injects water into the outer casing. Water flows from the two holes on the first disc through the second and first guide pipes into the hollow column. Powering on the servo motor causes its output to rotate, which in turn drives the shaft to rotate. The rotation of the shaft drives the rotation of the second and first wheels. The rotation of the first and second rotating wheels drives the rotation of two lead screws, which in turn causes the hollow column to move downwards. During this movement, the descent of the first disc is synchronized and stable, preventing the hollow column from tilting. The downward movement of the hollow column also causes the movable water nozzle to move downwards. When the movable water nozzle reaches contact with the lower inner wall of the chute, the motor stops working, allowing the movable water nozzle to connect with the water outlet. The water injected into the hollow column is then pumped out quantitatively by a water pump under the control of the electronic controller, injecting the water into the well. This achieves quantitative water injection into the oil layer, ultimately simplifying the water injection operation for scaled wells, improving water injection efficiency, and reducing costs.
[0023] (2) The first disc is conducive to fixing the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is conducive to controlling the movement of the moving water nozzle, the hollow column is conducive to fixing the water injection mechanism, the water injection mechanism is conducive to controlling the amount of water injected, the pressure reducing mechanism is conducive to reducing the pressure of the lifting mechanism, making the lifting mechanism more stable during operation, the second limit block and the first limit block are conducive to limiting the space for movement of the second guide pipe and the first guide pipe, so that the first guide pipe and the second guide pipe will not move excessively, thereby separating the first guide pipe and the second guide pipe, and the sealing ring is conducive to sealing the water outlet hole, so that when the device is lowered into the well, the liquid in the well will not flow into the outer shell.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to the figure. The lower end of the first disc 6 is fixedly connected to the motor housing 7, and the servo motor 8 is fixedly installed inside the motor housing 7.

[0052] Working principle: First, the oil well is inspected to determine the required water injection volume at the desired location. The electronic controller 16 is then set. Next, the upper interface 4 and lower interface 3 are connected to external equipment. The device is placed into the scaled well and moved to the designated position. The servo motor 8 is then energized, and the external equipment injects water into the outer casing 1. Water flows from the two circular holes on the first disc 6 through the second guide pipe 19 and the first guide pipe 18 into the hollow column 23. Inside, the servo motor 8 is energized, causing its output to rotate. This rotation drives the shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the second wheel 27 and the first wheel 24. The rotation of the first wheel 24 and the second wheel 27 drives the two lead screws 21 to rotate, which in turn causes the hollow column 23 to move downwards. The two lead screws and the shaft ensure the synchronous and stable descent of the first disc during the movement, preventing the hollow column from tilting. The downward movement of the hollow column 23 also causes the movable water nozzle 29 to move downwards. When the movable water nozzle 29 moves down to contact the lower inner wall of the chute 10, the motor stops working, allowing the movable water nozzle 29 to connect with the water outlet 2. The water injected into the hollow column 23 is then pumped out quantitatively by the water pump 15 under the control of the electronic controller 16, injecting the water into the well and achieving quantitative water injection into the oil layer.
