Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to an automatic long fiber filling device for oil and gas fracturing and a filling method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of oil fracturing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fiber has two functions when being filled during oil and gas fracturing: (1) the sand-carrying and sand-preventing capacity of the fiber in the fracturing fluid can effectively prevent the proppant from flowing back and returning out of the reservoir fracture network; and (2) the temporary plugging fiber added in the fracturing process can achieve the effect of plugging old fractures and opening new fractures, and both functions can effectively improve the oil and gas production of a single well. The following three problems need to be solved in the application process of the technology.

[0003] Different lengths of fibers have different sand-carrying, sand-preventing and temporary plugging effects, and the fiber length is difficult to adjust in real time during the construction process; the fiber has a light bulk specific gravity and is not easy to disperse, and in the fracturing fluid with viscosity, the fiber is prone to agglomeration and uneven mixing, and in severe cases, sand plugging may affect the fracturing construction; the fiber addition amount is mainly related to the sand ratio in the fracturing process, and the fiber addition amount must be accurately and real-timely adjusted according to the sand ratio. Different types of fibers have different performance effects, but the finished fibers are difficult to uniformly mixed together.

[0004] The current fracturing fiber adding method is to cut the finished short fibers of a certain length through the principle of pneumatic conveying, hydraulic jet suction and pre-mixing of the fracturing fluid, and then convey the fibers to the sand mixing truck.

[0005] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN103640897A discloses a fiber material conveying device. The fiber material conveying device disclosed in the application uses a spiral to quantitatively convey the fiber, air to blow and convey the fiber, and a cyclone separator to separate the gas and the material. The device uses the spiral to quantitatively convey the fiber, which is a volume measurement method, and the fiber is easily compressed, so the measurement accuracy is low; the air blowing, conveying and separating method must use a special equipment crane to assist the hoisting of the cyclone separator, and the fiber is easily suspended in the fracturing fluid with viscosity and is difficult to quickly and uniformly mix with the fracturing fluid; the blown dry fiber is easily blown around.

[0006] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN106121615A discloses a fiber filling device for oil field fracturing and a filling method thereof. The fiber filling device disclosed in the application uses the negative pressure generated by hydraulic jet suction to quantitatively convey the fiber through a spiral, mixes the fiber in the pipeline and then conveys the fiber to the fracturing. The hydraulic jet suction principle has different efficiencies for the bulky fiber and is prone to block the fiber inlet.

[0007] The utility model discloses a CN214532921U discloses a kind of for shale gas horizontal well fracturing sand prevention fibrous automatic injection system.The system is metered to fiber by self-weight reduction type quantitative control, disperses, pneumatic conveying, fiber and fracturing fluid pre-mixing, mixing, conveying to sand mixing truck mixing tank.The self-weight reduction type fiber metering of the system exists batch gap work;Cannot real-time and fracturing sand concentration carry out fiber addition amount matching, need to set the addition amount of fiber in different stages.

[0008] In summary, the current oil and gas fracturing fiber injection device still has some problems, and cannot fully meet the increasingly accurate fracturing operation needs. SUMMARY
