Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal bed methane well machine sand prevention and gas prevention equipment, in particular to a sand setting type sand and gas prevention and production pumping pipe column and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal powder is produced by coal seam instability and damage under the action of drilling, fracturing engineering and production disturbance, and can be divided into drilling residual coal powder, wellbore instability produced coal powder, coal matrix fracture produced coal powder according to the source of coal powder. The existence of coal powder reduces the liquid production of the gas well. The coal powder falling on the fixed valve seat of the production pipe pump will cause the fixed valve to be not tightly closed, resulting in pump leakage. Part of the coal powder buries the fixed valve channel, causing the liquid inlet channel to be blocked. The coal powder adhering to the pump plunger will cause the pump to be stuck.

[0003] Hydraulic fracturing reconstruction technology is an effective method for increasing production of coal bed methane. By driving water flow with quartz sand, ceramic and other proppants, the water flow is squeezed into the original and newly created cracks in the reservoir, widening and extending these cracks, and further producing more secondary cracks in the reservoir, which can produce channels with high conductivity, effectively connecting the wellbore and the reservoir, and improving the single well control area and production of the coal bed methane well. After fracturing is completed, during the drainage and gas production process of the gas well, with the discharge of water in the cracks, especially the rapid reduction of bottom hole flowing pressure, the water containing particle size quartz sand, ceramic and other proppants enters the well barrel and the pump. After the sand enters the pump barrel, the sand falls on the fixed valve seat of the production pipe pump, which will cause the fixed valve to be not tightly closed and leak. The mixture of sand and coal powder in part of the wells will block the fixed valve channel, causing the liquid inlet channel to be blocked.

[0004] The conventional machine pumping pipe column structure has a rod pump bottom connected with a gas anchor, a tail pipe and a plug from top to bottom. The gas and water mixture produced by the formation mixed with sand and coal powder enters the gas anchor, and due to the density difference, the gas is separated back to the oil jacket annulus, and the coal powder and sand are separated out and deposited in the tail pipe under the influence of gravity. When the coal powder and sand in the tail pipe are deposited in the tail pipe, the coal powder and sand are easy to enter the pump barrel, causing the pump to be stuck and the pump inlet to be blocked, resulting in the rod pump not working normally.

[0005] Publication No. CN115788319A discloses a method for downhole sand control and coal dust control in co-seam coalbed methane wells. The method involves installing two sets of drainage devices in the co-seam coalbed methane well. First, a co-seam development coalbed methane well with a two-section wellbore structure is constructed on the surface. The lower structural coal seam and the upper primary structural coal seam are then sequentially fracturing and modified. A packer suspends the lower drainage tubing string at the top of the structural coal seam. This allows the flowback fluid, formation water, and coalbed methane produced by the structural coal seam to enter the lower drainage tubing string through a wire-wound screen. Simultaneously, it prevents the large amounts of proppant and coal dust produced by the structural coal seam from entering the drainage tubing string, causing the proppant and coal dust to sink to the artificial well bottom under gravity. Utilizing the lower drainage tubing string for sand and coal dust control reduces the risk of pump jamming and ensures the continuity of the drainage process in co-seam coalbed methane wells. It is especially suitable for coalbed methane drainage in the middle and lower coal seams where the main coal seam is broken and a large amount of sand and powder is discharged during the combined drainage process.

[0006] The existing technology does not have a gas anchor. When gas enters the pump chamber from the liquid, it can cause gas lock and other problems to the operation of the pump.

[0007] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN206770187U, discloses a double-acting water pump for coalbed methane drainage, including a fixed valve, a traveling valve, a sealing short section, an "I"-shaped plunger, a hollow connecting rod, a connecting rod side valve, a stepped inner pump barrel, an inner pump barrel side valve, an outer pump barrel, a sand control valve, and an oil pipe. The fixed valve is connected to the outer pump barrel, the traveling valve is connected to the lower plunger, the inner and outer pump barrels are rigidly connected to form an annular space, the sealing short section is connected to the inner pump barrel, the connecting rod one-way side valve is installed in the connecting rod groove, the inner pump barrel one-way side valve is installed on the inner pump barrel, and the oil pipe is connected to the outer pump barrel, dividing the water pump into three chambers: A, B, and C. The rigid connection between the inner and outer pump barrels forms an annular space. The advantages include: a compact structure, safety and reliability, increased drainage capacity, improved pump efficiency, reduced energy consumption and cost, and effective prevention of coal dust deposition and pump burial.

[0008] The existing technology does not have a gas anchor. When gas enters the pump chamber from the liquid, it can cause gas lock and other problems to the operation of the pump.

[0009] The utility model discloses (announcement) No. CN211342891U discloses a steering formula gas anchor, including upper joint, positioning seal plate, separation cylinder, partition board, baffle, lower joint, the upper portion inner thread of separation cylinder is below setting and hangs the shoulder, the upper portion of partition board is fixed on the left side of positioning seal plate, the lower end of partition board is connected in the baffle, the lower portion of partition board sets up sieve hole, and the baffle is at the left side of partition board, and positioning seal plate is at the right side of partition board, and positioning seal plate sits on the upper portion inner thread below of separation cylinder and hangs the shoulder, and partition board inserts separation cylinder, and the lower portion of partition board reaches the lower portion of separation cylinder, and partition board will separation cylinder and divide into separation chamber and liquid chamber, and the upper portion one side of separation cylinder sets up liquid inlet groove, and the liquid inlet groove with separation chamber's upper portion is open and shut, and positioning seal plate blocks the upper end of separation chamber, and the baffle blocks the lower end of liquid chamber, and make the fluid that enters the separation chamber through the liquid inlet groove only flow downward and enter the liquid chamber from sieve hole, and the lower portion of separation cylinder is connected with lower joint.

[0053] The gas anchor includes a gas anchor outer pipe 14 and a gas anchor baffle 15; the upper end of the gas anchor outer pipe 14 is connected with the sand setting pipe 3; the gas anchor baffle 15 is composed of two bent thin plates embedded in the gas anchor outer pipe 14; the gas anchor baffle 15 is divided into an upper baffle and a lower baffle; the upper baffle and the lower baffle are installed in opposite directions, so that the inside of the gas anchor outer pipe 14 forms a "Z" shaped liquid flow channel; the gas anchor outer pipe 14 is provided with at least two gas holes IV at the top of the ascending section of the "Z" shaped liquid flow channel; based on the gas-liquid separation principle, during the upward flow of the liquid, the gas escapes from the liquid and concentrates near the gas holes IV, and then returns to the oil jacket annulus outside the gas anchor outer pipe 14 from the gas holes IV, thereby reducing the gas lock caused by the gas entering the production pump barrel.

[0054] The oil pipe short joint 13 is arranged between the sand setting pipe 3 and the gas anchor outer pipe 14; the lower end of the gas anchor outer pipe 14 is connected with the oil pipe joint; the lower part of the oil pipe joint 16 is connected with the tail pipe or the screen pipe.

[0055] The upper end of the long pump barrel 2 is connected with the upper joint 1; the upper part of the upper joint 1 is connected with the oil pipe.

[0056] The center pipe 5 and the sand setting pipe 3 form an annular sand setting cavity III; due to the longer length of the center pipe 5, a supporting ring 4 is arranged below the inlet valve 7 in the annular sand setting cavity III, which supports the center pipe 5; the supporting ring 4 is provided with through holes or through grooves, which do not block the annular sand setting cavity III.

[0057] The use method is as follows:

[0058] S1, downhole operation preparation, first connect the upper end of the production pump barrel with the oil pipe, the lower end with the tail pipe and the screen pipe, and then lower the oil pipe string into the design position of the production well, then connect the upper end of the plunger pull rod 8 with the sucker rod, and then lower the sucker rod string into the bottom of the oil pipe, so as to realize the bumping of the production pump barrel, and the plunger enters the long pump barrel 2.

[0059] S2, swabbing operation, the plunger reciprocates in the long pump barrel 2 of the production pump barrel under the driving of the sucker rod string.

[0060] When going up, the plunger goes up under the driving of the sucker rod string, the upper liquid valve 9 and the lower liquid valve 12 are closed under the pressure of the tubing string, the liquid in the upper part of the plunger is brought out to the ground, the volume of the pump cavity in the lower part of the plunger increases, the pressure decreases, the liquid valve 7 is opened under the pressure of the oil jacket annulus, the liquid in the coal seam, the sand grains, the coal powder and part of the gas carried by the liquid flow into the pump cavity II along the gas anchor channel, when passing through the rising section of the gas anchor Z-shaped channel entrance, the top of the rising section forms a low pressure area due to the density difference of the oil and gas, most of the gas escapes from the liquid, reenters the oil jacket annulus along the gas hole IV, thereby realizing gas-liquid separation, the remaining part continues to flow into the pump cavity along the gas anchor Z-shaped channel,

[0061] When going down, the plunger goes down under the gravity of the sucker rod string, the volume of the pump cavity II decreases, the pressure increases, the upper liquid valve 9 and the lower liquid valve 12 are opened under the action of the liquid in the pump cavity II, the tubing cavity I in the upper part of the plunger is communicated with the pump cavity II in the lower part, at the same time, the liquid valve 7 is closed under the oil pressure in the pump cavity II, the liquid in the pump cavity II is extruded into the tubing cavity I, at this time, the sand grains, the coal powder and a small amount of gas carried by the liquid also enter the tubing cavity I.

[0062] When stopping pumping, the liquid in the pump cavity II is in a static state, the sand grains and the coal seam will sink downward due to the gravity, part of the sediment directly falls into the annular sand settling cavity III between the sand settling pipe 3 and the central pipe 5, and the other part will first fall on the conical surface in the upper part of the liquid valve and slide into the annular sand settling cavity III as the accumulation increases, since the annular sand settling cavity III is relatively long, enough sand grains or coal powder and other impurities from the tubing can be deposited, thereby reducing the phenomenon of sand burying and sand jamming of the liquid valve; at the same time, the coal seam gas in the liquid in the lower tail pipe of the gas anchor will continue to escape upward due to the density difference of the oil and gas, and escape from the gas hole at the top of the rising section of the entrance of the Z-shaped channel in the gas anchor, reenter the oil jacket annulus; the sand grains and the coal powder carried by the small amount of liquid remaining in the upper tubing nipple 13 of the gas anchor and the lower central pipe 5 of the liquid valve 7 will sink and fall into the bottom of the gas anchor baffle 15 due to the gravity, since the bottom of the baffle is designed to have a large enough sediment space, the sediment does not affect the liquid inlet flow passage in the gas anchor.

[0063] Compared with the conventional drainage and production pipe string structure, the present application has the following advantages:

[0064] (1) The drainage and production pump cylinder lower sand settling pipe 3 and the central pipe 5 of the sand settling type sand prevention and gas prevention drainage and production machine pumping string have a design length of several meters, have a large annular sand settling cavity III, can deposit enough sand grains or coal powder and other impurities from the tubing, no matter when the pump is working normally or when stopping pumping, the liquid valve 7 will not be affected by the sediment such as sand grains, and the design length can be arbitrarily adjusted and the size of the sand settling space can be changed according to the sand content of the well condition, compared with the conventional drainage and production pump, the present application has stronger well condition adaptability, and is especially suitable for the drainage and production wells with more sand grains and coal powder.

[0065] (2) The liquid inlet valve 7 of the sand-preventing and gas-preventing drainage pumping machine pipe column is designed with a "Z"-shaped gas separation liquid flow channel, in normal operation, the gas anchor is used as a gas-liquid separation device to perform efficient gas-liquid separation on the gas-containing liquid entering the pump cavity, and the influence of the gas entering the pump cavity on the operation of the drainage pump is reduced, and due to the special baffle design inside the gas anchor, the gas anchor can not only effectively separate gas and liquid, but also not easily cause the accumulation of sand and coal powder in the liquid, causing the flow channel in the gas anchor to be blocked, causing the liquid flow resistance to increase, the drainage pump to be insufficient in liquid supply, and compared with the conventional spiral gas anchor structure, the gas anchor structure can better adapt to the drainage well with more sand and coal powder.

[0066] (3) The "Z"-shaped liquid flow channel of the sand-preventing and gas-preventing drainage pumping machine pipe column structure changes the traditional tail pipe sand and upper liquid inlet, so that the sand and coal powder directly sink to the bottom of the well, avoiding the traditional machine pumping structure tail pipe sand accumulation, and the sand entering the liquid inlet valve leakage.

[0067] (4) The liquid inlet valve 7 and the lower liquid inlet valve 12 of the sand-preventing and gas-preventing drainage pumping machine pipe column are designed with return springs, when the drainage pump is applied in the inclined well, the return spring can help the valve ball in the valve cover to close in time, reduce the ball valve leakage, improve the drainage efficiency, and therefore, the return spring also has strong adaptability to the inclined well.

[0068] (5) The pipe column structure does not need to be washed, has sufficient sand sinking capacity, avoids the sand jamming and sand burying between the pump cylinder and the plunger, and prolongs the service life.

[0069] (6) The pipe column structure is simple, reliable, convenient to operate, and reduces the development cost of the coalbed methane field.

[0070] In summary, the application effectively solves the problems of sand jamming, sand burying, gas locking and ball valve leakage of the conventional drainage pump in the coalbed methane machine pumping well, has long service life, high pump efficiency and wide adaptability.

Preparation for well entry operation First, connect the drainage pump barrel and the gas anchor. Connect the oil pipe to the upper end of the drainage pump barrel and the tail pipe and screen pipe to the lower end of the gas anchor. Lower them into the drainage well at the designed position along with the oil pipe string. Then connect the upper end of the plunger to the sucker rod, and lower it into the bottom of the tubing along with the sucker rod, so that it can collide with the drainage pump barrel and the plunger enters the drainage pump barrel; S2. Pumping operation: The plunger, driven by the sucker rod string, moves up and down reciprocally in the long pump barrel of the pumping pump. S3. When pumping stops, the liquid in the pump chamber is in a static state. Sand and coal will settle downwards due to gravity. Some of the sediment will fall directly into the annular sedimentation chamber between the sedimentation pipe and the central pipe. Some of the sediment will first fall onto the cone surface above the inlet valve and slide into the annular sedimentation chamber as the sediment accumulates. Meanwhile, the coalbed methane in the liquid in the lower tailpipe of the gas anchor continues to rise and escapes through the top air hole of the rising section of the "Z"-shaped channel inside the gas anchor, returning to the annulus. The sand and coal dust carried in the small amount of liquid remaining in the upper oil pipe section and the lower central pipe of the inlet valve of the gas anchor will settle and fall to the bottom of the gas anchor baffle due to gravity.

8. The method of using the extraction string of a sedimentation-type sand control and gas extraction machine according to claim 7, characterized in that, When the pumping pump reciprocates up and down in the long pump cylinder: During the upward stroke, the upper outlet valve and the lower inlet valve close under the pressure of the tubing column, and the liquid in the upper part of the plunger is lifted to the ground. The volume of the pump chamber in the lower part of the plunger increases and the pressure drops. The inlet valve opens under the pressure of the annulus. The liquid in the coal seam, along with the sand, coal dust and some gas it carries, flows into the pump chamber along the gas anchor channel. When passing through the inlet section of the gas anchor "Z"-shaped liquid flow channel, most of the gas escapes from the liquid and returns to the annulus along the gas hole. The rest continues to flow into the pump chamber along the gas anchor "Z"-shaped channel. During the downward stroke, the pump chamber volume decreases and the pressure increases. The upper outlet valve and the lower inlet valve open under the action of the liquid in the pump chamber, and the oil pipe chamber above the plunger connects with the lower pump chamber. At the same time, the inlet valve closes under the action of the oil pressure in the pump chamber, and the liquid in the pump chamber is squeezed out into the oil pipe chamber. At this time, the sand particles, coal dust and a small amount of gas carried by the liquid also enter the oil pipe chamber together.
