Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield facility maintenance and repair, and in particular relates to a method for unblocking an oilfield gathering and transportation pipeline. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oilfield production, the gathering and transportation pipeline is sometimes blocked due to the presence of impurities such as wax and silt in the gathering and transportation medium in the gathering and transportation pipeline, as well as the influence of human operation and climate and other factors, so that the gathering and transportation pipeline cannot be transported. At this time, the gathering and transportation pipeline needs to be unblocked, that is, unblocked. The current unblocking method is: dig an operating pit on the ground where the gathering and transportation pipeline is blocked to expose the gathering and transportation pipeline, use gas cutting or reciprocating saw to open a hole on the upper side of the blocked pipeline, and then use a pump truck to add water and pressurize from one end of the blocked pipeline to flush the blocked pipeline, and use high-pressure water to squeeze the dead oil in the blocked pipeline from the opening and discharge it into the operating pit until the gathering and transportation pipeline is unblocked, then weld and seal the opening, and finally backfill the operating pit. However, this method has the following disadvantages in its application: First, after the hole is opened, the high-pressure flushing of the pump truck will directly spray the dead oil in the gathering and transportation pipeline from the opening to the working pit, which will obviously cause pollution to the on-site environment; second, after the gathering and transportation pipeline is unblocked, when the opening is welded and blocked, the remaining pressure in the gathering and transportation pipeline has nowhere to be released during the flushing of the pump truck, and can only flow out from the opening. At the same time, the dead oil in the gathering and transportation pipeline that is located in front of the blockage but has not been unblocked this time will also return to the opening, resulting in long welding time or repeated welding, which brings great difficulties to the final repair welding work. Third, the existing hole-opening machine is bulky and requires large equipment such as cranes to be transported to the site, causing damages in the crop field, so it is extremely inconvenient to operate.
[0003] Chinese patent application No. 201310334409.2 discloses a method for unblocking oilfield pipelines. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the location of pipeline blockage is roughly determined by folding method, then the location of pipeline blockage is accurately determined by sedimentation method and season method, and finally, heating method, perforation flushing method and chemical unblocking method are respectively adopted for unblocking oilfield pipelines according to different types of blockages. The advantage of this method is that it solves the problem that the prior art unblocking of oilfield pipelines is highly targeted and the specific blockage location cannot be determined, which makes implementation difficult. It has strong systematicity and is applicable to unblocking of most oilfield pipelines. Different blockages correspond to different unblocking methods, and the blocked oilfield pipelines can be unblocked quickly, ensuring the normal operation of production and improving production efficiency.
[0004] Chinese patent application No. 201721881137.8 discloses a protective cover for purging and unblocking an oil collection pipeline. The protective cover includes: a guide cylinder, an anti-diffusion cover, a fixed plate, a plurality of first connecting members, and a plurality of second connecting members; the lower end of the first connecting member is connected to the outer wall of the guide cylinder, and the upper end is detachably connected to the top wall of the anti-diffusion cover, the upper part of the guide cylinder is located inside the anti-diffusion cover, and there is a pressure relief gap between the guide cylinder and the side wall of the anti-diffusion cover; the second connecting member is detachably connected to the wall of the guide cylinder, and the lower end is detachably connected to the plate surface of the fixed plate, and a space for clamping the target oil collection pipeline is formed between the bottom of the guide cylinder and the fixed plate. The use of the protective cover can make the blockage flow downward, with a good pressure relief effect, avoiding environmental pollution and the safety hazards caused by it, and the protective cover can be firmly fixed on the target oil collection pipeline to avoid it from being separated from the target oil collection pipeline when the high-pressure blockage is sprayed out.

At the same time, the flange at the lower end of the star-shaped reduction mechanism 65 is connected to the upper flange 6454 of the guide device 645 by bolts, and a sealing gasket is provided between the flange at the lower end of the star-shaped reduction mechanism 65 and the upper flange 6454 of the guide device 645.
[0053] The working principle of the portable hole-opening machine 6 is described as follows:
[0054] When it is necessary to drill a hole at a blocked part of the gathering and transportation pipeline, the construction personnel first connect the bottom flange 612 on the portable hole drill 6 with the flange plate on the hole drilling flange 2 with bolts, and install a sealing gasket 3 between the two. At this time, the lower part of the positioning center drill 631 and the hole drilling drill 633 will be located inside the hole drilling flange 2 and the hole drilling short pipe 1. Start the motor 66, and drive the positioning center drill 631 and the hole drill 633 to rotate together through the star-shaped reduction mechanism 65 and the force transmission rod 641. At the same time, the force transmission rod 641 is covered with a double-acting sleeve 647 and a displacement sleeve 646. When the force transmission rod 641 rotates, the double-acting sleeve 647 is driven to rotate. Since the inside of the double-acting sleeve 647 and the outside of the displacement sleeve 646 are both hexagonal prism structures, the displacement sleeve 646 is also driven to rotate. Since the inside of the displacement sleeve 646 and the outside of the guide tube 6453 are threaded, the displacement sleeve 646 will move downward to achieve the purpose of pushing the force transmission rod 641 forward and backward automatically, and the cutting speed is made consistent with the drill feed speed through the speed regulating device. A central circular hole is formed on the upper part of the gathering and transportation pipeline by using the positioning center drill 631. During this process, the two ends of the blocking rod 632 will be rotated upward by 90 degrees to a vertical state under the support of the edge of the central circular hole of the gathering and transportation pipeline. After the central circular hole is formed, the lower part of the positioning center drill 631 and the blocking rod 632 will enter the interior of the gathering and transportation pipeline, and then the hole-opening drill 633 will cut the gathering and transportation pipeline outside the central circular hole until a large circular hole is formed; when the blocking rod 632 enters the interior of the gathering and transportation pipeline, its two ends will lose the support of the gathering and transportation pipeline, so it will rely on gravity to flip downward by 90 degrees and become horizontal; after the large circular hole is formed, remove the bolts between the bottom flange 612 and the flange plate on the hole-opening flange 2, lift the portable hole-opening machine 6, at this time, the blocking rod 632 can bring the cut annular pipe piece out together to prevent it from falling into the gathering and transportation pipeline. After the central circular hole is formed, the collecting medium flowing out of the collecting pipeline will enter the pressure control chamber 616 of the sealed shell 611, and then flow into the small-diameter connector 6212 on the pressure control shell 621 through the pressure control interface 618. Once the pressure of the collecting medium exceeds the elastic force of the spring 623, it will push the piston 622 outward to make the piston head leave the step 6214 and compress the spring 623 at the same time. At this time, the collecting medium will be discharged outward through the oil drain hole 6211; after the pressure of the collecting medium is reduced, the piston head will rely on the elastic force of the spring 623 to reset and block the oil drain hole 6211 again.
[0055] 4) Turn on the portable hole-opening machine 6, and use a drill bit that passes through the hole-opening flange 2 and the center hole of the hole-opening short pipe 1 to form an opening on the circumferential surface above the blocked part of the gathering and transportation pipeline;
[0056] 5) Remove the portable hole tapping machine 6 and remove the pipe piece cut from the hole. Then connect the flange on the vent flange 4 with the flange on the hole flange 2 by bolts, and install a sealing gasket 3 between the two to ensure good sealing. A quick connector is provided on the outside of the flange short pipe on the vent flange 4.
[0057] 6) Connect one end of the drain hose to the quick connector of the drain flange 4, and the other end to the tank truck;
[0058] 7) Use a pump truck to add water and pressurize from one end of the blocked pipeline to flush the blocked pipeline, and use high-pressure water to discharge the dead oil in the blocked pipeline into the tank truck through the perforated short pipe 1, perforated flange 2, vent flange 4 and drain hose in sequence until all the dead oil in the gathering and transportation pipeline is discharged and water is seen;
[0059] 8) Remove all parts except the perforated short pipe 1, connect the internal thread on the welding pipe cap 5 with the external thread on the perforated short pipe 1, and after ensuring the seal, weld the welding pipe cap 5 and the perforated short pipe 1 together to complete the unblocking of the blocked pipeline, and finally backfill the working pit.
