DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: This downhole jet-enhanced multi-stage gas-liquid high-efficiency separation device for a gas well includes a gas-liquid separation structure with an oil pipe coupling 101 and a gas-liquid diversion structure with a screw pump 207, so that the gas-containing mixed liquid can achieve gas-liquid two-phase medium separation while occupying a small space. After separation, the gas phase is discharged to the external space of the equipment, thereby increasing the service life of other operating equipment. At the same time, it completes the pre-separation of the produced liquid, indirectly improves the gas well recovery rate, and reduces the energy consumption of the subsequent separation system.

[0027] The gas-liquid separation structure includes an inner and outer tube connection 103, a lower outer tube 102, an inner tube 104, a primary spiral flow channel 105, a primary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1051, a drainage inverted cone 106, a spiral link 107, a secondary spiral flow channel 108, a drainage cone tube 109, a drainage cone tube opening 1091 and a secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081; the spiral flow channel and the drainage cone tube 109 are both hollow structures; liquid inlets are provided on the inner tube 104 and the lower outer tube 102. The outer tube liquid inlet 1021 is provided at the upper end of the lower outer tube 102 to enable the liquid phase to fully gather from top to bottom in the inner and outer tube cavities, thereby facilitating the next step of separation. The upper end of the tubing coupling 101 is connected to the lower end of the inner-outer tube connection 103 by means of threads; the inner tube 104 and the lower outer tube 102 are connected to the upper end of the inner-outer tube connection 103 by means of a threaded structure; the lower end of the hollow primary spiral flow channel 105 is connected to the upper opening of the inner-outer tube connection 103 by means of threads; the upper end of the hollow primary spiral flow channel 105 is connected to the lower end of the drainage inverted cone 106 by means of threads; the lower end of the spiral link 107 is connected to the upper end of the inner tube 104 by means of a threaded structure; the upper end of the spiral link 107 is provided with a threaded structure and connected to the secondary spiral flow channel 108; the upper end of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 is connected to the lower end of the drainage cone tube 109 by means of threads.

[0028] During operation, a mixture containing gas and liquid phases enters the inner and outer tube cavities from the outer tube liquid inlet 1021 around the upper end of the lower outer tube 102, and then the gas-liquid mixture enters the gas-liquid separation part through the inner tube liquid inlet 1041 around the lower end of the inner tube 104. After the mixture is centrifugally accelerated by the hollow primary spiral flow channel 105, the gas phase is distributed on the outer wall of the drainage inverted cone 106, and the liquid phase carries part of the unseparated gas phase in the outer layer close to the inner wall of the primary spiral flow channel separation cavity 1051. Then, the liquid phase further gathers along the inner wall of the spiral link 107 and flows to the secondary spiral flow channel 108. The gas phase flows along the central opening of the spiral link 107 to the secondary spiral flow channel 108, and continues to flow from the The center of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 flows toward the drainage cone opening 1091, which reduces the gas flow diameter. The flow rate increases and a small amount of gas on the periphery of the drainage cone can be further gathered to realize the jet discharge of the gas to the next stage. The gas-liquid two phases separated by the spiral link 107 are further accelerated and separated by the secondary spiral flow channel 108, so that the gas phase is located inside the secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081, and further flows to the outer wall of the drainage cone 109, and further converges with the gas phase discharged from the drainage cone opening 1091, while the liquid phase flows to the next stage along the inner wall of the secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081 on the outside of the secondary spiral flow channel 108, further completing the gas-liquid separation. More specifically, the gas-liquid separation structure is divided into a primary gas-liquid separation module and a secondary gas-liquid separation module according to its function. The specific components involved in the function of each gas-liquid separation module and the connection relationship between the components are as follows: The primary gas-liquid separation module includes an inner and outer tube connection 103, a lower outer tube 102, an inner tube 104, a first-level spiral flow channel separation chamber 1051, a first-level spiral flow channel 105, and a drainage inverted cone 106; wherein the first-level spiral flow channel 105 adopts a hollow structure, and liquid inlets 1021 are distributed around the upper end of the lower outer tube 102, and liquid inlets 1041 are distributed around the lower end of the inner tube 104 to achieve staggered distribution. The threaded structure at the upper end of the inner and outer tube connection 103 is connected to the lower outer tube 102 and the inner tube 104. A threaded hole is opened in the center of the upper end of the inner and outer tube connection 103 and is threadedly connected to the lower end of the primary spiral flow channel 105. The threaded structure at the lower end of the drainage inverted cone 106 is connected to the threaded hole at the upper end of the primary spiral flow channel 105. The mixed liquid entering from the outer tube liquid inlet 1021 flows into the cyclone primary spiral flow channel separation cavity 1051 from the inner and outer tube cavities and the inner tube liquid inlet 1041. After the mixed liquid is accelerated and separated through the primary spiral flow channel 105, the centrifugal force exerted on the gas phase is less than that on the liquid phase. The gas phase carries a small amount of liquid phase and resides in the drainage inverted cone 106 to flow to the next level. Most of the liquid phase gathers on the inner wall of the inner tube 104 and flows to the next level, completing the primary separation.

[0029] The secondary gas-liquid separation module includes a spiral link 107, a secondary spiral flow channel 108, a drainage cone tube 109, a drainage cone tube opening 1091, and a secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081. The lower end of the spiral link 107 is connected to the upper end of the inner tube 104 by threads, and a threaded hole is opened in the center of the upper end of the spiral link 107 and is connected to the lower end of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 by threads; the wall thickness of the spiral link 107 is the same as that of the inner tube 104; the center of the upper end of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 is connected to the lower end of the drainage cone tube 109 by threads, and the drainage cone tube 109 is a hollow structure; the liquid phase further gathers along the inner wall of the spiral link 107 and flows to the secondary spiral flow channel 108, and the gas phase flows along the central opening of the spiral link 107 to the secondary spiral flow channel 108, and continues to flow from the center of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 to the drainage cone tube opening 1091, and the drainage cone tube 109 is a hollow structure. The opening 1091 of the flow cone tube has a small diameter, which makes the gas flow diameter smaller. While the flow rate increases, a small part of the gas phase outside the drainage cone tube can be further gathered to realize the jet discharge of the gas phase to the next stage. The gas-liquid two phases separated by the spiral link 107 are further accelerated by the secondary spiral flow channel 108 to separate the gas phase inside the secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081, and further flow to the outer wall of the drainage cone tube 109, and further converge with the gas phase discharged from the opening 1091 of the drainage cone tube, while the liquid phase flows to the next stage along the inner wall of the secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081 outside the secondary spiral flow channel 108, and further completes the gas-liquid separation. The gas-liquid flow splitting module of the present invention comprises a fixed ring 201, a bypass flow channel 203, a bridge channel 202, a channel connection 204, a deep well screw pump 207, an upper outer tube 205, a pump outer tube 208, and a tube pump connection 206; the inner wall of the fixed ring 201 is consistent with the inner wall thickness of the inner tube 104, and the outer wall thereof is consistent with the outer wall thickness of the outer tube 102; the upper end of the fixed ring 201 is provided with an outlet pipe of a certain thickness; the bypass flow channel 203 is a conical tube wall, and there are evenly distributed openings in the annular position below it; the middle part of the bridge channel 202 is connected to the fixed ring 20 1 The thickness of the outer wall is consistent; the upper and lower ends of the bridge channel 202 are threaded, and there is a lead-out pipe at its upper end; the lower end of the fixing ring 201 is connected to the inner side of the upper end of the outer tube 102 by thread; the upper end of the bypass flow channel 203 is connected to the lower end of the channel connection 204 by thread; the lower end of the channel connection 204 is connected to the central opening of the bridge channel 202 by thread; the lower end of the upper outer tube 205 is connected to the upper end of the bridge channel 202 by thread; the lower end of the tube pump connection 206 is connected to the upper opening of the bridge channel 202 by thread, and the upper end of the tube pump connection 206 is connected to the upper opening of the bridge channel 202 by thread. It is connected to the lower end of the screw pump 207 by a thread; the lower end of the pump outer tube 208 is connected to the inner side of the outlet wall of the upper end of the bridge channel 202 by a thread; when working, the gas phase separated once and twice flows along the center of the drainage cone 109 to the central opening of the bypass channel 203, and the liquid phase mixed with a small amount of gas phase separated in the previous stage flows to the next stage along the outer annular cavity of the bypass channel 203 under the action of the pressure difference provided by the screw pump, and the opening 2031 below the bypass channel further gathers the gas phase mixed in the liquid phase and the gas phase flowing down from the central opening of the drainage cone, and then Then they enter together from the lower entrance of the bridge channel 202, which is conducive to gas-liquid separation; the gas phase then flows in from the center of the lower end of the bridge channel 202, flows to the two side channels of the lower end of the bridge channel 202 through the openings on both sides of the center, and the liquid phase flows into the inner center through the annular opening at the lower end of the bridge channel 202 and flows out; the screw pump 207 provides power for the entire device, and draws the liquid phase flowing out from the center of the bridge channel 202 to the pump outer tube 208 and transports it to the surface. The separated gas phase flows out to the next structure through the gap cavity between the upper outer tube 205 and the pump outer tube 208.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention is placed vertically in the downhole pipeline to ensure that the oil pipe coupling 101 is located at the bottom, and the various parts are connected upward in sequence according to the corresponding connection methods. During operation, the gas-containing liquid phase enters the inner and outer tube cavities from the outer tube liquid inlet 1021, and the mixed liquid flows from top to bottom in the inner and outer tube cavities, and enters the primary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1051 from the inner tube liquid inlet 1041. After that, it is centrifugally accelerated by the hollow primary spiral flow channel 105, and the drainage inverted cone 106 drains the liquid phase to distribute it on the inner wall of the primary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1051. The gas phase carries a small amount of liquid phase and flows upward at the center of the drainage inverted cone 106. Then, the liquid phase further gathers along the inner wall of the spiral link 107 and flows to the secondary spiral flow channel 108. The gas phase flows along the central opening of the spiral link 107 to the secondary The spiral flow channel 108 continues to flow from the center of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 to the drainage cone opening 1091. The opening 1091 of the drainage cone has a small diameter, which makes the gas flow diameter smaller. While the flow rate is increased, a small part of the gas phase outside the drainage cone can be further gathered to achieve the jet discharge of the gas phase to the next level. The gas-liquid two phases separated by the spiral link 107 are further accelerated by the secondary spiral flow channel 108 to separate the gas phase inside the separation cavity 1081 of the secondary spiral flow channel, and further flow to the outer wall of the drainage cone 109, and further converge with the gas phase discharged from the drainage cone opening 1091, while the liquid phase is discharged from the secondary spiral flow channel 108. The outer side of the primary spiral flow channel 108 flows along the inner wall of the secondary spiral flow channel separation chamber 1081 to the next stage, further completing gas-liquid separation; the gas phase separated once and twice flows along the center of the drainage cone 109 to the central opening of the bypass flow channel 203, and the liquid phase separated in the previous stage and mixed with a small amount of gas phase flows to the next stage along the outer annular cavity of the bypass flow channel 203 under the action of the pressure difference provided by the screw pump, while the opening 2031 below the bypass flow channel further aggregates the gas phase mixed in the liquid phase and the gas phase flowing down from the central opening of the drainage cone, and then enters together from the lower end entrance of the bridge channel 202, which is conducive to gas-liquid separation; Then the gas phase flows in from the center of the bridge channel 202, flows to the openings 2023 on both sides of the center wall of the bridge channel 202 to be discharged, and the liquid phase flows into the lower annular opening 2021 of the bridge channel through the outer ring of the bypass channel 203, converges to the center and is discharged from the upper opening 2024; the screw pump 207 pumps the liquid phase converged in the bridge channel 202 into the cavity of the pump outer tube 208 by the pressure difference, and the gas phase flows into the upper outer tube 205 and the cavity of the pump outer tube 208, and finally the gas and liquid phases are respectively connected to the next part of the device; the appearance and cross-sectional view of the gas-liquid separation structure are shown in Figure 2As shown, during operation, a mixed liquid containing gas and liquid phases enters the inner and outer tube cavities from the outer tube liquid inlet 1021 around the upper end of the lower outer tube 102, and then the gas-liquid mixed liquid enters the gas-liquid separation part from top to bottom through the liquid inlet 1041 around the lower end of the inner tube 104. After the mixed liquid is centrifugally accelerated by the hollow primary spiral flow channel 105, the gas phase is distributed on the outer layer of the drainage inverted cone 106, and the liquid phase carries a small amount of gas phase on the inner wall of the primary spiral flow channel separation cavity 1051. Then, the liquid phase further gathers along the inner wall of the spiral link 107 and flows to the secondary spiral flow channel 108. The gas phase flows along the central opening of the spiral link 107 to the secondary spiral flow channel 108, and continues to flow from the center of the secondary spiral flow channel 108 to the drainage The cone tube opening 1091 and the drainage cone tube opening 1091 have a smaller diameter, which makes the gas flow diameter smaller. While the flow rate increases, a small amount of gas phase can be further gathered on the periphery of the drainage cone tube, so that the gas phase can be discharged to the next stage by jet. The gas-liquid two phases separated by the spiral link 107 are further accelerated and separated by the secondary spiral flow channel 108, so that the gas phase is located on the inner side of the secondary spiral flow channel separation cavity 1081, and further flows to the outer wall of the drainage cone tube 109, and further converges with the gas phase discharged from the drainage cone tube opening 1091, while the liquid phase flows to the next stage along the inner wall of the secondary spiral flow channel separation cavity 1081 on the outside of the secondary spiral flow channel 108, so as to further complete the gas-liquid separation.

The liquid phase mixed with a small amount of gas phase separated in the previous stage flows along the outer annular cavity of the bypass channel 203 to the next stage under the action of the pressure difference provided by the screw pump, and the opening 2031 below the bypass channel makes the gas phase mixed in the liquid phase and the gas phase flowing down from the central opening of the drainage cone further gather, and then enter together from the lower end entrance of the bridge channel 202, which is beneficial to gas-liquid separation; then the gas phase flows from the center of the bridge channel 202 The liquid flows into the bridge channel 202 through the openings 2022 on both sides of the center of the bridge channel and flows to the annular openings 2023 on both sides of the upper end of the bridge channel. The liquid phase flows into the annular opening 2021 at the lower part of the bridge channel through the outer ring of the bypass channel 203, and converges to the center position and is discharged from the central opening 2024 at the upper end of the bridge channel. The screw pump 207 pumps the liquid phase converged in the bridge channel 202 into the cavity of the pump outer tube 208 by the pressure difference, and the gas phase flows into the upper outer tube 205 and the cavity of the pump outer tube 208. Finally, the gas and liquid phases are connected to the next part of the device respectively. The exploded diagram of the gas-liquid diversion structure is shown in Figure 5 The appearance, top view and cross-sectional view of the bridge channel are shown in Figure 6As shown in (a), (b), (c), and (d), the gas phase flows in from the center of the bridge channel 202, flows to the openings 2022 on both sides of the center of the bridge channel, and is discharged from the annular opening 2023 at the upper end of the bridge channel. The liquid phase flows through the outer ring of the bypass channel 203 and flows into the annular opening 2021 at the lower end of the bridge channel 202, converges to the center, and is discharged from the center opening 2024 at the upper end of the bridge channel.
