Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of oil extraction pumping units, and specifically relates to a hydraulic long-stroke sealed pumping unit. Background Technology

[0002] As oil and gas field development deepens, formation pressure continues to decline, leading to the emergence of various oil and gas lifting technologies, including electric submersible pump lift, gas lift, bubble drainage, and rod lift. Among these, rod lift is the most widely used, with existing supporting equipment including various types of pumping units. However, these all face the problem of frequent wellhead packing seal failures, resulting in oil and gas leaks, environmental pollution, and safety hazards. Furthermore, these pumping units cannot meet the needs of coalbed methane, gas-bearing wells, and fluid drainage for gas production.

[0003] Using a winch drum to wind a steel wire rope instead of a polished rod or rigid sucker rod for oil extraction is a type of rod-type oil extraction machinery that has gradually emerged in recent years. There are two types: one is the "horizontal" type, such as the patent "A Low-profile, Ultra-long Stroke Intelligent Control Winch-type Lifting Oil Extraction System and Working Method" (application number: 201410184063.7) and the patent "Ultra-long Stroke Oil Extraction Device" (application number: 201420750926.8). This type consists of two main parts: a winch drum assembly, a wellhead support frame, and a guide pulley. The other type is the "vertical tower" type, such as the patent "A Winch-type Oil Extraction Device" (application number: 201410360663.4) and the patent "An Intelligent Ultra-long Stroke Pumping Unit" (application number: 201911112157.2). These "vertical tower" pumping units either have the winch drum assembly directly fixed to the wellhead frame, or the winch drum assembly moves axially on the wellhead frame. Regardless of whether it's a "horizontal" or vertical tower pumping unit, although the wellhead packing seal system has been eliminated, the problems of leakage and environmental pollution caused during oil and gas extraction remain unresolved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a hydraulic long-stroke sealed pumping unit. This unit connects the sealed housing and the wellhead via a high-pressure hose, forming a closed space that eliminates the need for packing seals. The hydraulic drive unit is installed inside the sealed housing, allowing the extracted oil and gas to directly enter the surface delivery pipeline or sealed container, thus completely solving the oil and gas leakage problem. Because a hydraulic drive unit is used, there are no electrical components or cables inside the sealed container, eliminating safety hazards and ensuring safety during use.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: a hydraulic long-stroke sealed pumping unit, comprising a pumping unit base, an intelligent control cabinet mounted on the pumping unit base, a hydraulic station, and a sealing shell mounting platform. The intelligent control cabinet is connected to the hydraulic station via a data cable. A sealing shell mounting seat is provided on the top of the sealing shell mounting platform. A high-pressure hose is connected to the center of the bottom of the sealing shell mounting seat. A blowout preventer and a wellhead tee are connected sequentially below the high-pressure hose. A sealing shell is mounted on the top of the sealing shell mounting seat. A hydraulic winch is provided inside the sealing shell. A drive rope is provided on the drum of the hydraulic winch. A hydraulic oil pipe installation interface is provided on the side of the sealing shell. A hydraulic oil pipe is connected to the hydraulic oil pipe through the hydraulic oil pipe. The hydraulic station is connected to the hydraulic winch inside the sealing shell through the hydraulic oil pipe. In use, the intelligent control cabinet sends a control signal to the hydraulic station, and the hydraulic station hydraulically controls the hydraulic winch to pull the drive rope.

[0006] The top of the sealing housing is provided with a safety valve interface and a pressure gauge interface, which are welded to the sealing housing.

[0007] The sealing housing mounting base is located diagonally above the sealing housing mounting platform. The bottom center of the sealing housing mounting base is on the same axis as the center of the oil wellhead. A bracket is provided between the bottom of the sealing housing mounting base and the sealing housing mounting platform.

[0008] A centralizer is provided between the high-pressure hose and the blowout preventer. The centralizer includes a centralizer housing, and a centralizer flange is provided on the upper part of the centralizer housing. Two roller support rods are fixedly connected to each other on the inner side wall of the centralizer housing. Each roller support rod is movably connected to a roller through a roller shaft. The upper end of the centralizer is bolted to the high-pressure hose through the centralizer flange, and the lower end of the centralizer is threaded to the blowout preventer through the centralizer housing.

[0009] The roller surface is provided with a roller groove, which is a semi-circular arc groove, and the radius of the semi-circular arc groove is the same as the radius of the drive rope.

[0010] The drive rope is a steel wire rope with a polyethylene coating on its surface, and the length of the drive rope is 50 to 100 meters.

[0011] A sealing gasket is provided between the sealing housing mounting base and the sealing housing, and the sealing housing mounting base and the sealing housing are fixedly connected by fastening bolts.

[0012] The sealing housing mounting base has a high-pressure hose flange at its bottom center, and the high-pressure hose is bolted to the sealing housing mounting base via the high-pressure hose flange.

[0013] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0014] 1. This invention uses steel wire rope to replace the sealing polished rod used in existing oil pumping units, which improves the service life compared to the sealing polished rod of existing oil pumping units;

[0015] 2. The sealing container of the pumping unit of the present invention is connected to the wellhead to form a closed space, which does not require packing seal. The drive device is installed in the sealing container, and the pumped oil and gas directly enter the surface delivery pipeline or the sealing container, which completely solves the problem of oil and gas leakage and is beneficial to the environmental protection of the oil production platform.

[0016] 3. The hydraulic drive device for the oil pumping unit of the present invention has no electrical components or cables inside the sealed container, and therefore poses no safety hazard.

[0017] 4. The pumping unit centralizer of the present invention is equipped with two rollers with grooves, and the drive rope is located between the two rollers. The drive rope is limited and centralized when moving up and down, preventing the drive rope from swinging and causing uneven wear with the oil pipe, thus solving the problem of uneven wear between the drive rope and the oil pipe.

[0018] 5. The oil pumping unit of this invention uses a high-pressure hose to connect the sealed container and the wellhead, which eliminates the need for strict alignment between the wellhead and the hydraulic drive device, thus facilitating rapid commissioning, installation, and use of the equipment.

[0019] The following will provide further explanation in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 4

[0035] Preferably, based on embodiment 1, 2, 3, or 4, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, a centralizer 10 is provided between the high-pressure hose 9 and the blowout preventer 11.

The upper end of the centralizer 10 is bolted to the high-pressure hose 9 through the centralizer flange 101, and the lower end of the centralizer 10 is threaded to the blowout preventer 11 through the centralizer housing 104.

[0036] In actual use, the pumping unit centralizer of this invention is equipped with two grooved rollers 102, and the drive rope 17 is located between the two rollers 102.
