Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an engineering technology for petroleum exploration and development, and in particular to a method for matrix-style centralized wellhead oil production and an oil wellhead slot. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional oil production primarily utilizes single-well sites and single-row cluster well sites. Because drilling and well workover operations require significant land area and have strict wellhead safety distance requirements, it's impossible to achieve a close-proximity, multi-row matrix arrangement of oil wellheads. With the development of horizontal well drilling technology, oil wellheads can be concentrated within the same well site. This concentrated, multi-row arrangement of wellheads offers significant advantages in urban areas and island regions due to its ability to greatly save land area, improve drilling efficiency, and promote land conservation, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness throughout the entire development cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a matrix-style centralized wellhead oil production method and wellhead slot. Through this technical solution, wellhead facilities such as wellhead trees are hidden underground, which greatly saves land use for oil well sites, improves drilling efficiency, makes up for the shortcomings of traditional well sites, enhances the aesthetics of the urban environment, and achieves harmonious development of oil and gas resource development with urban planning and the natural environment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: A matrix-style centralized wellhead oil production method can be completed by the following steps: A. Determine the number of production wellheads, row spacing, and column spacing based on reservoir characteristics and development requirements; B. Determine the net width of the wellhead slot based on the net spacing of the drilling rig base; C. Determine the net depth of the wellhead slot based on the height of the wellhead Christmas tree; D. Several wellhead slots are arranged side by side to achieve a close-spaced matrix arrangement of oil wellheads. Box-shaped slot walls are set on both sides of two adjacent wellhead slots. Waterproof isolation walls are set at both ends of several wellhead slots. The bottom of the wellhead slots, the box-shaped slot walls and the waterproof isolation walls are made of impermeable reinforced concrete cast in one piece. E. According to the spacing of the oil production line, several vertical pre-embedded steel casings are pre-embedded in the anti-seepage reinforced concrete structure at the bottom of the wellhead trench at the oil production location. A drainage ditch is set on one side of the bottom of the wellhead trench, and a water collection pool is set at one end of the wellhead trench connected to the drainage ditch. F.
