Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heavy oil extraction technology, and in particular to a high-pressure gas-vapor fluid multi-stage generation system. Background Technology

[0002] The Earth possesses extremely abundant heavy oil resources, with geological reserves far exceeding those of conventional crude oil, making heavy oil a crucial source of petroleum. my country ranks among the world's largest holders of heavy oil reserves, thus its extraction is of great significance. Heavy oil extraction in my country has been developing for over thirty years, achieving a series of major technological breakthroughs and playing a vital role in stabilizing and increasing my country's oil production. However, shortcomings still exist. For example, there are problems such as long blowout cycles, low efficiency, low recovery rates, high energy utilization (e.g., using natural gas combustion to generate steam and heat gathering and transportation return water), high water consumption, large amounts of oily wastewater, and high water treatment costs.

[0003] Increased temperature can significantly reduce crude oil viscosity; therefore, heavy oil is generally recovered thermally, with heating and gathering employed when necessary. Thermal recovery of heavy oil is a crucial component of stable oilfield production. Traditional heavy oil extraction technologies include steam injection, steam flooding, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), and fire flooding. In recent years, high-pressure gas-vapor fluids have attracted widespread attention as alternative oil displacement media because they can increase heavy oil production through thermal viscosity reduction, gas dissolution, and formation pressure replenishment, thereby improving heavy oil extraction efficiency. Therefore, high-pressure gas-vapor fluid flooding is an important development direction for heavy oil thermal recovery.

[0004] The generation of high-pressure gas-vapor fluid is a high-temperature and high-pressure process. Taking the combustion of natural gas or oilfield gas and air under high pressure to generate high-pressure gas-vapor fluid as an example, the theoretical combustion temperature can reach up to about 2000℃, while the injection pressure is generally required to be around 21MPa. Therefore, high-pressure combustion devices used to generate high-pressure gas-vapor fluid face the challenge of simultaneously withstanding high temperature and high pressure. For conventional gas-vapor generation technology using a single-stage combustion device, this problem must be solved in two ways. One is to reduce the combustion temperature by increasing the excess air coefficient, but the side effect is that the high-pressure air compression work required to provide a unit of injection heat will increase significantly. The other is to use super refractory materials and increase the thickness of the insulation layer, but the side effect is that the diameter of the high-pressure combustion device and the thickness of the pressure-resistant outer shell required to provide a unit of injection heat will increase significantly, and it may be necessary to use embedded water-cooling pipes for cooling, resulting in high manufacturing costs and lower reliability and safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the challenges of simultaneously withstanding high temperature and pressure in high-pressure combustion devices and avoid the problems inherent in conventional technologies, this invention provides a multi-stage high-pressure gas-vapor fluid generation system. This system involves feeding fuel into multiple high-pressure combustion devices connected in series for combustion in stages. Each stage generates a significant excess air coefficient, and the combustion flue gas in each stage is cooled before being introduced into the next stage, ultimately reducing the combustion temperature. Furthermore, the excess air coefficient does not increase for the entire multi-stage system, thus the high-pressure air compression work required to provide a unit of injection heat remains unchanged. Therefore, the multi-stage generation technology reduces the generation temperature without producing side effects, perfectly solving the aforementioned problems.

[0006] This invention provides a high-pressure gas-vapor fluid multi-stage generation system, which uses a high-pressure combustion device to burn fuel gas and oxidizing gas to generate high-pressure gas-vapor fluid. The system is constructed by multiple generation units, and a cooling device is installed in each generation unit to cool the flue gas, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the gas-vapor generation process. In this way, the thickness of the refractory and insulation materials of the high-pressure combustion device, as well as the diameter and thickness of the pressure-resistant shell, are significantly reduced. At the same time, the use of embedded water-cooling pipes is avoided, making the structure of the high-pressure combustion device simple, compact, and reliable.

[0007] In addition, to address the aforementioned issues of high energy utilization at low efficiency and related problems with oily wastewater from oilfields, the system provided by this invention also includes using a partition wall heat exchange device to couple an external power generation cycle to achieve combined heat and power (CHP) of combustion heat energy, thereby realizing cascade utilization; using a fluid contact device to directly spray oily wastewater from oilfields into wells, thereby realizing the reuse of oily wastewater; and using a fluid contact device to heat the gathering and transportation return water, etc.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0019] Cooling fluid and flue gas exchange heat within the packing.

[0020] The fluid contact device collects liquid at its bottom, which flows out through the cooling fluid outlet at the bottom of the device and is then sent to the nozzle via a circulation pump and pipeline. (Under normal circumstances, the liquid sprayed from the nozzle will completely vaporize and be discharged with the flue gas. The circulation pump is provided here to ensure that any small amount of liquid that may remain at the bottom of the device participates in the circulation.)

[0021] The cooling fluid outlet at the bottom of the fluid contact device is connected to a pipeline and serves as the outlet for crude oil gathering and transportation water.

[0022] When the liquid at the cooling fluid outlet is used as a collection and transportation water for crude oil collection and transportation, the flue gas outlet C of the Nth generation unit is connected to the venting pipeline.

[0023] The cooling fluid outlet of the partition heat exchanger is connected back to the cooling fluid inlet A via a pipeline. An expander, a condenser, and a booster pump are sequentially installed on the pipeline connecting the cooling fluid outlet to the cooling fluid inlet A.

[0024] The cooling fluid introduced into the cooling fluid inlet B of the fluid contact device includes oily wastewater generated by water drive, steam drive, steam huff and puff, or SAGD oil recovery processes in oil fields, or crude oil gathering and transportation return water.

[0025] The Nth generation unit is connected to the oil well via a pipeline, and the gaseous fluid discharged from the flue gas outlet B or flue gas outlet C of the Nth generation unit is injected into the oil well.

[0026] The system consists of two condensers connected in series, operating alternately and taking turns performing external descaling on the condenser tubes. The condensers can also be designed in parallel.

[0027] The above technical solution has at least the following advantages compared with the existing technology:

[0028] The above-mentioned scheme can improve the safety, reliability and economy of the high-pressure gas-vapor fluid generation process, realize the cascade utilization of fuel energy and the direct reuse of oily wastewater, thereby reducing the environmental and economic costs of heavy oil extraction, which is of great significance in heavy oil extraction.
