Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield cementing equipment and relates to a dust removal and pressure stabilizing device for cementing. Background Technology
[0002] Cementing is an essential part of drilling operations, encompassing casing installation and cementing. Excellent cementing quality is crucial for ensuring drilling safety and efficiency, and dust control is an important aspect of guaranteeing cementing quality.
[0003] The existing cementing dust removal equipment has the following problems: (1) During cementing operations, cement ash is transported to the mixer by a ash conveying truck through the ash conveying pipeline. Since the gas-solid ratio in the ash conveying pipeline is a variable, simply using conventional conveying equipment not only occupies working space, but also makes it difficult to adapt to the requirements of gas-solid changes, resulting in inconsistent cement ash delivery to the mixer, the cementing operation density cannot be guaranteed, and the overflowing cement ash cannot be recycled, which wastes resources, pollutes the environment, and reduces economic benefits; (2) The mixing tank is usually a single tank layout, and the mud does not stay in the tank for a sufficient time, and the water in the mixing tank... Due to insufficient mixing time, the cement slurry delivered into the wellbore is not uniform, which affects the quality of cementing construction. In addition, when the mixing tank is a single tank, the position of the agitator in the mixing tank is one of the important factors affecting the mixing effect. In severe cases, some cement slurry in the mixing tank is not mixed and is pumped into the wellbore by the plunger pump. (3) The metering water tank has a relatively simple function and can only store the clean water required for cementing operations. The additives required for cementing operations need to be prepared in advance, which is inconvenient to transport. In addition, the preparation of cementing additives requires a lot of equipment, and the space of the cementing truck (skid) is limited. Multiple trucks and multiple transportations are required, resulting in high transportation costs.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a dust removal and pressure stabilization device for cementing. Summary of the Invention

[0055] The control system of the cementing dust removal and pressure stabilization device of the present invention can be a conventional control system, which is used to control the mixing tank 3, the mixer 3-1, the metering tank 1, the constant pressure recovery tank 4, the plunger pump 2, and the valves and pumps in this application.
[0056] The components and their interactions in the cementing dust removal and pressure stabilization device of the present invention are explained below:
[0057] A: Metering tank 1 is set as the first tank 1-1 and the second tank 1-2, which facilitates the mixing of various additives, and the normal use of metering tank 1 is not affected when the first tank 1-1 or the second tank 1-2 fails.
[0058] B: The mixing tank 3 is configured as a third tank 3-2 and a fourth tank 3-3. On the one hand, if either the third tank 3-2 or the fourth tank 3-3 malfunctions, the normal use of the mixing tank 3 will not be affected. On the other hand, due to insufficient mixing time, the cement slurry in the mixing tank 3 is not uniformly delivered to the wellbore 7, affecting the quality of cementing operations. Furthermore, when the mixing tank 3 is a single tank, the position of the agitator within the tank is a crucial factor affecting the mixing effect. In severe cases, some cement slurry in the mixing tank 3 may not be mixed and may be pumped into the wellbore 7 by the plunger pump 2. This invention divides the mixing tank 3 into a third tank 3-2 and a fourth tank 3-3, and connects the third tank 3-2 and the fourth tank 3-3 with a second conduit 3-4, extending the time the cement slurry spends in the mixing tank 3 and improving its mixing effect.
[0059] C: The plunger pump is used to pump the uniformly mixed cement slurry in the mixing tank 3 into the well shaft 7;
[0060] D: Densitometer 8 is used to detect the density of cement slurry in mixing tank 3;
[0061] E: The special-shaped pipe 4-6 is used to connect the recovery tank 4-1 and the constant pressure tank 4-2;
[0062] F: The first spring 4-8 is used to push the ball 4-9 to move in the connecting pipe 4-7. When the pressure in the constant pressure tank 4-2 is higher than 1MPa, the first spring 4-8 in the special tube 4-6 breaks the original balance and is in a stretched state. The pressure in the constant pressure tank 4-2 applies pressure to the first spring 4-8 through the special tube 4-6, causing the first spring 4-8 to move towards the constant pressure tank 4-2, driving the ball 4-9 away from the intersection of the special tube 4-6 and the connecting pipe 4-7, thus realizing the connection between the recovery tank 4-1 and the constant pressure tank 4-2.
[0063] G: The ball stopper 4-9 is used to control the connection between the recovery tank 4-1 and the constant pressure tank 4-2. Under normal pressure conditions, the ball stopper 4-9 is at the intersection of the shaped pipe 4-6 and the connecting pipe 4-7, so that the recovery tank 4-1 and the constant pressure tank 4-2 are not connected. When the pressure inside the constant pressure tank 4-2 is higher than 1MPa, the ball stopper 4-9 moves away from the intersection of the shaped pipe 4-6 and the connecting pipe 4-7, so that the recovery tank 4-1 and the constant pressure tank 4-2 are connected.
[0064] H: The second spring 4-4-2 is used to control the movement of the dust baffle 4-4-3. When there are a lot of cement dust particles accumulated on the dust baffle 4-4-3, the second spring 4-4-2 breaks the original balance and extends. The dust baffle 4-4-3 temporarily detaches from the bottom of the recycling tank 4-1, and the cement dust particles remaining in the lower part of the recycling tank 4-1 quickly fall into the buffer tube 4-4-5. The second spring 4-4-2 returns to the original balance and sticks to the bottom of the recycling tank 4-1.
[0065] I: Dust cover 4-4-3 is used to collect cement dust particles in recycling tank 4-1;
[0066] J: The inverted V-shaped structure 4-4-1 facilitates the accumulation of cement ash particles inside the collection tank 4-1;
[0067] K: Air hammer 4-4-7 is used to vibrate buffer tube 4-4-5, causing cement dust particles inside buffer tube 4-4-5 to accumulate at baffle 4-4-6.
[0068] L: Filter device 4-3 is used to prevent cement ash particles in recycling tank 4-1 from being released into the atmosphere;
[0069] The working principle of the cementing dust removal and pressure stabilizing device of the present invention is as follows: Before the cementing operation begins, the corresponding pipelines are connected to ensure that each component moves flexibly. The entire working manifold is cleaned with clean water from metering tank 1. The specific cleaning operation is as follows:
[0070] The control system opens the eighteenth butterfly valve 33, the twenty-third butterfly valve 29, the first butterfly valve 11, the second butterfly valve 12, the fourth butterfly valve 16, the fifth butterfly valve 17, the sixth butterfly valve 18, the eleventh butterfly valve 24, the twelfth butterfly valve 26, the nineteenth butterfly valve 34, the ninth butterfly valve 22, the thirteenth butterfly valve 27, and the fourteenth butterfly valve 28. Clean water enters the first tank 1-1 and the second tank 1-2 of the metering tank 1 through the feed pipe 5. The second centrifugal pump 25 then pumps the clean water into the third tank 3-2 and the fourth tank 3-3, respectively. The agitators in the third tank 3-2 and the fourth tank 3-3 are activated to clean the tanks. During washing, clean water flows through the third tank 3-2-ninth butterfly valve 22-first centrifugal pump 21-thirteenth butterfly valve 27 to the densitometer 8 to clean it. The water then flows through the third tank 3-2-ninth butterfly valve 22-first centrifugal pump 21-fourteenth butterfly valve 28 to the mixer inlet 3-1-3 to clean the mixer. After cleaning, the eleventh butterfly valve 24, thirteenth butterfly valve 27, and fourteenth butterfly valve 28 are closed. The washing waste liquid flows through the third tank 3-2-eighth butterfly valve 20 or through the third tank 3-2-tenth butterfly valve 23 to the plunger pump 2, which then pumps it into the metering tank 1 for recycling.
[0071] After cleaning, cementing operations begin. Water or cementing additives are injected into metering tank 1 through feed pipe 5. Metering tank 1 is then started. The start-up of metering tank 1's first tank 1-1 and second tank 1-2 depends on whether additives need to be mixed during the on-site operation. When mixing cementing additives using metering tank 1 is necessary, the agitator in the first tank 1-1 or second tank 1-2 is activated. Samples are taken through sampling port 6 to test the additives and determine if they meet the requirements for cementing operations. Once the additives are mixed evenly, the first water supply pump 14 or the second water supply pump 15 pressurizes and accelerates the water or additives in the first tank 1-1 or second tank 1-2 to the inlet 3-1-3 of mixer 3-1. If the cementing operation does not require the use of metering tank 1 to store water or mix additives, the seventeenth butterfly valve 32 can be opened to directly pump water or additives into the inlet 3-1-3 of mixer 3-1 using pressurization equipment. If there is no pressurization equipment at the cementing operation site, the pressure and speed are increased by the first water supply pump 14 or the second water supply pump 15 by opening the seventh butterfly valve 19, and then delivered to the inlet 3-1-3 of the mixer 3-1. The cement ash truck transports cement ash particles through the feed inlet 4-5 to the constant pressure tank 4-2 below the constant pressure recovery tank 4. Simultaneously, pressurized air is introduced into the constant pressure tank 4-2, and the pressurized air transports the cement ash particles in the constant pressure tank 4-2 to the ash inlet 3-1-1 of the mixer 3-1 through the opening of the twenty-second butterfly valve 37. When the branch entering the constant pressure recovery tank 4 is blocked, the twenty-first butterfly valve 36 can be opened, allowing the cement ash transported by the ash truck to bypass the constant pressure recovery tank 4 and directly reach the ash inlet 3-1-1 of the mixer 3-1. During cementing operations, the branch that bypasses the constant pressure recovery tank 4 is often used as a backup. To replenish the pressure in the constant pressure tank 4-2 caused by leakage, the pressurized air supply is kept open. When the pressure inside the constant pressure tank 4-2 exceeds 1 MPa, the blocking ball 4-9 moves towards the constant pressure tank 4-2, and the first spring 4-8 breaks its original equilibrium and is stretched. At this time, the constant pressure tank 4-2 is connected to the recovery tank 4-1, and the pressure inside the constant pressure tank 4-2 is released into the recovery tank 4-1. Simultaneously, the cement ash particles carried by the pressurized air inside the constant pressure tank 4-2 reach the recovery tank 4-1 via the special-shaped pipe 4-6. At this time, the first spring 4-8 returns to its original equilibrium state, and the blocking ball 4-9 moves to the intersection of the special-shaped pipe 4-6 and the connecting pipe 4-7, and the constant pressure tank 4-2 and the recovery tank 4-1 are no longer connected through the special-shaped pipe 4-6. Most of the cement ash particles carried by the pressurized air inside the recovery tank 4-2, as well as the cement ash particles recovered from the ash outlet 3-1-2 of the mixer 3-1, fall into the ash baffle 4-4-3 at the bottom of the recovery tank 4-1. A small portion of cement ash particles are discharged into the atmosphere through the filter device 4-3 and overflow valve 4-14 (set pressure 1MPa) at the top of the recovery tank 4-1. When a significant amount of cement ash particles accumulate at the ash baffle 4-4-3, the second spring 4-4-2 breaks the original balance, and the ash baffle 4-4-3 temporarily detaches from the bottom of the recovery tank 4-1. The cement ash particles remaining at the bottom of the recovery tank 4-1 quickly fall into the buffer tube 4-4-5.The second spring 4-4-2 returns to its original equilibrium state, and the dust-blocking cover 4-4-3 re-enters contact with the bottom of the recovery tank 4-1. Cement ash particles in the buffer tube 4-4-5 accumulate at the baffle 4-4-6 under the vibration of the air hammer 4-4-7. At this time, the baffle 3-2-5 is closed, preventing cement ash particles in the buffer tube 4-4-5 from falling into the constant pressure tank 4-2. When too much cement ash accumulates in the buffer tube 4-4-5, the baffle 4-4-6 opens, allowing the cement ash particles in the buffer tube 4-4-5 to fall into the constant pressure tank 4-2. Subsequently, the baffle 3-2-5 closes again, preventing cement ash particles in the constant pressure tank 4-2 from entering the recovery tank 4-1 through the buffer tube 4-4-5.
[0072] In mixer 3-1, water and cement ash particles are initially mixed. The resulting cement slurry, insufficient for cementing operations, falls into the fourth tank 3-3 of mixing tank 3. There, it is further mixed by an agitator. The slurry from the fourth tank 3-3 enters the third tank 3-2 via the second conduit 3-4. The slurry from the third tank 3-2 is divided into two streams. One stream returns to the third tank 3-2 via densitometer 8. Densitometer 8 continuously feeds back the actual density of the cement slurry to the control system, which displays the data. The other stream passes through the secondary mixing inlet 3-1-4 of mixer 3-1, forming a high-speed jet stream and creating a vacuum that draws cement ash into mixer 3-1, facilitating the initial mixing of water and cement ash into mixing tank 3. After thorough mixing and reaching the required density, the cement slurry is pumped through the eleventh butterfly valve 24 to the suction port of the plunger pump 2 via the second centrifugal pump 25. The plunger pump 2 then pumps the slurry into the wellbore 7 to complete the cementing operation. Due to the poor fluidity of the cement slurry, to prevent cavitation in the plunger pump 2, the eighth butterfly valve 20 is opened, allowing the cement slurry in the third tank 3-2 of the mixing tank 3 to reach the suction port of the plunger pump 2 via this branch. Any remaining cement slurry in the fourth tank 3-3 of the mixing tank 3 can be removed by the second centrifugal pump 25 by opening the twelfth butterfly valve 26. After the cementing operation is completed, the entire manifold is cleaned using clean water from the metering tank 1.
