Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of natural gas exploitation, and in particular to a downhole gas compression assembly, a compression device and a multi-stage gas extraction equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] After a certain period of service, the pressure in the gas well decreases, and the gas cannot be lifted to the surface, resulting in a decrease in extraction efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the extraction efficiency, it is necessary to increase the gas pressure in the pipeline. Through technical iteration, the latest artificial lifting technology is to configure a downhole gas compressor. The gas compressor is placed near the position of 2KM underground, so that the natural gas has greater pressure and more kinetic energy in the downhole to reach the ground and complete the gas extraction process.

[0003] The current downhole gas compressor is usually composed of a power driving part, a rotating shaft and an axial compression component. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the power driving part, and the rotor blades in the axial compression component are driven to rotate by the rotating shaft. By cooperating with the stator blades in the flow compression component, the gas compression process is realized. However, since the power driving part is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft, the torque is transmitted to the axial compression component on the other side of the rotating shaft through the rotating shaft. This will result in a long torque transmission distance, causing a large deflection of the rotating shaft, resulting in problems in the cooperation between the rotating shaft and the bearing, increasing friction and wear, and thus affecting the normal operation and service life of the compressor. For example, the patent with publication number CN115355181A uses the above structure for gas compression and extraction process. It is composed of a lower driving motor, a middle magnetic coupling shaft coupling and an upper axial compressor. The driving motor, the magnetic coupling shaft coupling and the axial compressor are not uniformly stressed. The power source is on one side of the slender shaft, and the power is provided from the side of the lower driving motor. The torque is transmitted to the upper compressor end through the magnetic coupling shaft coupling. The overall size is long, the effective compression length is short, and the torque transmission distance is long, which will cause the shaft body to deform and affect the operation of the compressor.

In addition, since the rotating shaft 2 is a hollow structure, compared with the inner rotor with rotating shaft motor, the gas flows through the inside of the hollow structure, which can take away heat, reduce the operating temperature of the device, and improve the service life of the device. Moreover, compared with the traditional structure with side wall gas inlet, the hollow structure design makes the device smaller.

[0037] The driving structure adopts direct current driving, which can reduce the risk of downhole discharge breakdown.

[0038] Further, the plurality of blades 24 are arranged longitudinally and uniformly along the inner wall of the second cavity 22, and the number of the blades 24 is at least 5, which ensures a certain compression efficiency.

[0041] The rotating shaft 2 is connected with the gas inlet ring 5 through the first magnetic suspension axial bearing 51. Figure 1As shown, in order to protect the rotating shaft 2 and make it rotate more smoothly when the rotating shaft 2 rotates to compress the gas, a first step 25 and a second step 26 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2, the first step 25 is located at the junction of the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22, the second step 26 is located at the junction of the second cavity 22 and the third cavity 23, a first protection bearing 27 is arranged at the first step 25, a second protection bearing 28 is arranged at the second step 26, the lower end surface of the first protection bearing 27 abuts against the first step 25, the upper end surface of the first protection bearing 27 is connected with the boss 11 arranged on the inner wall of the tube shell 1 through a wave-shaped elastic gasket 29, the upper end surface of the second protection bearing 28 abuts against the second step 26, and the lower end surface of the second protection bearing 28 is connected with a bearing seat fixed on the top of the second pressing plate 52.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] This embodiment is based on embodiment 1 and discloses a downhole gas compression device, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown, the downhole gas compression device comprises two groups of the above-mentioned downhole gas compression assemblies and a coupling connector 7, the two groups of downhole gas compression assemblies are arranged vertically and side by side, the rotating shafts 2 in the two groups of downhole gas compression assemblies are connected through the coupling connector 7, the downhole gas compression assembly located at the lower side is a primary compression assembly 81, the downhole gas compression assembly located at the upper side is a secondary compression assembly 82, there is one gas inlet ring 5 and one gas outlet ring 6 respectively, the gas inlet ring 5 is connected at the lower end of the rotating shaft 2 in the primary compression assembly 81, the gas outlet ring 6 is connected at the upper end of the rotating shaft 2 in the secondary compression assembly 82, and the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 2 in the secondary compression assembly 82 is greater than that of the rotating shaft 2 in the primary compression assembly 81.

[0045] In this embodiment, the downhole gas compression device is composed of a primary compression assembly 81, a coupling connector 7 and a secondary compression assembly 82. When working, the driving structure of the primary compression assembly 81 is supplied with current, and under the action of magnetic force, the rotating shaft 2 is driven to rotate. Under the action of multiple groups of multiple blades 24, the gas is sucked into the second cavity 22 through the gas inlet ring 5 and is continuously compressed. The first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22 form a Laval nozzle structure, and the speed of the gas is sharply amplified when passing through this structure. The gas is discharged through the first cavity 21. At this time, the pressure and flow rate of the gas have been greatly improved compared with the gas inlet ring 5. Then the gas enters the secondary compression assembly 82 through the coupling connector 7. The working principle of the secondary compression assembly 82 is similar to that of the primary compression assembly 81. The gas will be compressed twice to obtain a higher compression ratio. Unlike the compression process of the primary compression assembly 81, the gas entering the secondary compression assembly 82 is the gas compressed by the primary compression assembly 81. Because the gas has higher energy, the driving structure in the secondary compression assembly 82 requires higher rotating speed. Since the rotating speeds of the rotating shafts 2 of the primary compression assembly 81 and the secondary compression assembly 82 are different, they cannot be connected by a common coupling. Therefore, the coupling connector 7 is needed for connection. Compared with the prior art, if the compression device wants to increase the gas production, it can only single-regulate the motor speed. Through the above setting, the rotating speeds of the rotating shafts in the primary compression assembly and the secondary compression assembly can be effectively configured, a wider speed regulation range can be obtained, and the yield regulation range is wider.
