Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas field exploitation and relates to a wellbore intelligent rubber-coated plunger and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The plunger gas lift process is a drainage and gas production technology method that uses the energy of the gas well itself to discharge the liquid from the wellbore. This technology uses the plunger as a mechanical interface between gas and liquid, and uses the gas produced by the gas well to push the plunger to move up and down periodically in the oil pipe, thereby periodically lifting the liquid produced by the formation to the ground and producing gas. As the gas-liquid interface, the plunger can effectively prevent the gas from rising and the liquid from falling back, reduce the "slippage" effect of the liquid running from the bottom of the well to the wellhead, and greatly improve the efficiency of gas lifting liquid. This process is mainly suitable for gas wells with a certain production capacity and a small daily water production. The operation process of the plunger is an operation cycle from closing the well to opening the well. When the well is closed, the plunger falls freely in the oil pipe, passes through the liquid column and falls back to the base under the well.

[0003] Traditional plunger drainage gas production is mainly composed of mechanical structures, and the well is opened and closed by the wellhead control device to control the up and down operation of the plunger in the wellbore. When the well is opened for production, the gas well produces more liquid in stages, especially horizontal wells, at this time, a higher liquid column will be generated in the wellbore. At this time, the well is closed and the plunger reaches the bottom of the well. When the well is opened again, the upper liquid column is too high, which may cause the mechanical plunger to be unable to move upward, affecting the drainage effect of the plunger gas lift process. Data investigation shows that there are currently several examples of intelligent plungers. An intelligent plunger for drainage and gas production (CN213953570U) provides a drainage and gas production intelligent plunger that can move downward with little resistance and is easy to fix as a whole for sealing through a mechanism design, but it cannot perform intelligent liquid drainage; an intelligent variable-diameter plunger for drainage and gas production (CN113236190B) adjusts the falling position of the plunger underground through a variable-diameter design and a unique braking design, avoids the installation of an underground locking device, and performs plunger lifting for liquid drainage, but cannot achieve intelligent liquid lifting; an intelligent plunger for drainage and gas production (CN215927343U) achieves braking of the plunger through structural design, so that the plunger stops at a specified liquid level depth to achieve the purpose of quantitative drainage, but it has a low degree of intelligence and cannot perform real-time monitoring. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that the plunger cannot operate due to too high a liquid column and the plunger has poor operating efficiency due to too low a liquid column, and to provide a wellbore intelligent rubber cartridge plunger and a method for using it.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] Preferably, the data acquisition device and the driving reduction motor are both connected to the controller via a communication data line.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring and a plane bearing are provided between the outer wall surface of the dynamic screw and the inner wall surface of the plunger.

[0016] Preferably, the plunger is made of non-metallic material.

[0017] The present invention provides a method for using an underground intelligent rubber cartridge plunger, comprising the following steps:

[0018] The power supply device supplies power to the data acquisition device, the driving device and the controller. The data acquisition device collects data of acceleration, temperature and pressure in the gas well and transmits the data to the controller;

[0019] The controller controls the movement of the driving device, and the driving device pulls the rubber cylinder to move the connecting piece, thereby causing the sealing rubber cylinder to deform, and driving the plunger to move under the action of air pressure to achieve drainage and gas production of the gas well.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention proposes a wellbore intelligent rubber cylinder plunger, which adopts a mechatronics design.

The controller controls the driving device to drive the rubber cylinder action connector to move, thereby driving the sealing rubber cylinder to deform, and driving the plunger to move under the action of air pressure to achieve drainage and gas production of the gas well. Therefore, the present invention determines the position and operating state of the plunger in the wellbore by pressure, temperature and acceleration. When the liquid column is high, the controller controls the driving device to move, further opens the channel between the sealing rubber cylinder and the oil pipe, and the gas well continuously produces gas to drive the plunger to move upward, thereby achieving drainage and gas production of the gas well. When the liquid column is low, the sealing rubber cylinder maintains its initial state, that is, it does not deform, and the gap between the oil pipe and the plunger can achieve gas collection, that is, the intelligent plunger proposed by the present invention can solve the problem that the plunger cannot operate due to excessively high liquid columns and the operation efficiency is poor due to excessively low liquid columns in the prior art.

[0081] The power supply device 10 is a high-temperature battery.

[0082] Embodiment 11

[0083] A method for using an underground intelligent rubber cartridge plunger, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0084] Step 1, the power supply device 10 supplies power to the data acquisition device, the driving device and the controller 2, the data acquisition device collects data of acceleration, temperature and pressure in the gas well, and transmits the data to the controller 2;

[0085] Step 2, the controller 2 controls the driving device to move, and the driving device pulls the rubber cylinder action connector 16 to move, thereby driving the sealing rubber cylinder 17 to deform, and driving the plunger 4 to move under the action of air pressure to achieve drainage and gas production of the gas well.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a control principle diagram of the operation of an intelligent rubber cartridge plunger. The intelligent rubber cartridge plunger is located at the wellhead: the catcher is closed, the channel is closed, and the pressure P1 and temperature T are collected; P1 is less than P0, and T1 is less than T0; the plunger moves downward: the pressure P, temperature T, and acceleration a are collected; P1 is equal to P0, and T1 is equal to T0; the plunger stops and moves upward: the channel is closed.

[0087] The present invention proposes a downhole intelligent plunger, which can isolate the wellbore through mechatronic design, form an isolation between the downhole gas and the liquid column on the plunger, so that the gas can more effectively push the liquid to drain. In the process of opening the well, the channel of the wellbore isolation is opened, so that the plunger 4 can go down in the well opening state. At the same time, through the pressure sensor 13, temperature sensor 12, and acceleration sensor 11 inside the intelligent rubber cylinder plunger 4, the height of the liquid on the top of the plunger after entering the liquid surface can be judged by comparing with the wellhead pressure and the wellhead temperature, so as to achieve quantitative liquid discharge. When the height of the liquid column at the bottom of the well is too low, the gas well fluid can be produced through the gap between the plunger and the oil pipe, and the plunger 4 can be kept in the downhole buffer locator position, without isolating the wellbore channel, and the gas well continues to produce. When the height of the liquid column reaches a certain level, the action screw 18 is pushed by the reduction motor 8 to directly compress the sealing rubber cylinder 17, so that the sealing rubber cylinder 17 is in the purpose of isolating the wellbore, that is, closing the channel and draining production. Therefore, the intelligent rubber-coated plunger of the present invention can determine the depth of the liquid surface by judging the changes in pressure, temperature, and acceleration, so as to achieve the purpose of quantitative liquid drainage. When the liquid production of the gas well is low, the bypass can be kept in an open state. When the pressure determines that the liquid column on the plunger reaches a certain height, the sealing rubber tube expands to close the sealed wellbore channel, and the airflow pushes the plunger liquid to rise, which plays a role in waiting for liquid drainage. When a large amount of liquid accumulated at the bottom of the well enters the wellbore during the ascent, it can go down again. Compared with traditional plungers, the plunger proposed by the present invention does not need to reach the downhole buffer. After entering a certain depth of the liquid surface, it directly closes the channel and discharges liquid for production. Compared with traditional plungers, the present invention is more suitable for horizontal wells, large liquid volume, small gas volume and the like.

[0088] It has the following advantages:

[0089] 1) The present invention uses mechatronic intelligent control of the plunger to isolate or open the wellbore, and can monitor the operating status of the entire plunger.

[0090] 2) The present invention collects data through pressure, temperature and acceleration sensors, and determines the height of the liquid column on the plunger through the downhole single-chip computer embedded program, which can avoid the problem that the plunger cannot operate due to too high liquid column and the operation efficiency is poor due to too low liquid column.

[0091] 3) The present invention can communicate with the remote back-end through the wellhead communication module, and the technicians can directly monitor the downhole operation status of the plunger, which is more conducive to ensuring the effect of the plunger gas lift drainage and gas production process.

[0092] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
