Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield exploitation and water injection, and in particular relates to an inverted submersible electric pump pipe column structure. Background Art

[0002] When an oil field is put into development, as the mining time increases, the energy of the oil layer itself is constantly consumed, causing the oil layer pressure to gradually decrease, the oil well output to decrease, resulting in a decrease in oil recovery rate, and even stopping spraying and production, resulting in a large amount of crude oil remaining underground that cannot be mined. In order to make up for the formation deficit caused by crude oil extraction, maintain or increase the oil layer pressure, achieve continuous and stable production of the oil field, and obtain a higher recovery rate, the oil layer must be injected with water. The traditional oil field water injection system uses a large-displacement water pump to pump formation water from other areas out of the ground, and then injects it into the target formation after being pressurized by a high-pressure water injection pump; especially for the same oil well, the upper end is a water layer and the lower end is an oil layer. Since it is impossible to achieve upper mining and lower injection, the formation water of the water layer can only be extracted through the packer string structure first, and then injected back into the oil layer. This process has a long cycle, low efficiency, and is not economical.

[0003] The structure of the present invention can realize the direct reinjection of the formation water of the water-producing layer into the formation. Compared with the traditional water injection system, the water injection system does not need to build water source well stations, water injection stations and other stations in the traditional water injection system, which can save a lot of equipment and personnel investment, and at the same time can improve the efficiency and quality of water injection, and has good scalability. Summary of the invention

[0004] The principle of the present invention is to extract formation water from the water-producing layer and then inject it back into the injection layer through an inverted submersible electric pump, thereby solving the problems of storage, treatment and reinjection of formation water after extraction; solving the problem of extraction and injection in oil wells, eliminating the need to build special water injection sites, improving the water injection efficiency of water injection wells, shortening the operation cycle and improving economic benefits.

[0005] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] The formation water in the water-producing layer is pressurized by an inverted submersible electric pump assembly, flows out through the injection oil pipe to inject water into the injection layer, thereby achieving the purpose of replenishing energy to the formation.

[0008] A water outlet is arranged at the end of the oil injection pipe.

[0009] The oil pipe is connected to the inverted submersible electric pump assembly using a threaded port.

[0010] It also includes a cable, which is connected to the inverted submersible electric pump assembly to supply power to the inverted submersible electric pump assembly.

[0011] The inverted submersible electric pump assembly is connected to the oil injection pipe through threads.

[0012] The formation water from the water-producing layer is pressurized by the inverted submersible electric pump assembly, and then flows out through the outlet of the injection pipe to inject water into the injection layer.

[0013] The cable is fixed to the oil pipe by a fixing strap.

[0014] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The structure of the present invention can realize the direct reinjection of formation water from the water-producing layer into the formation. Compared with the traditional water injection system, the water injection system does not need to build water source well stations, water injection stations and other stations in the traditional water injection system, which can save a lot of equipment and personnel investment, and at the same time can improve the efficiency and quality of water injection, and has good scalability.

[0021] The formation water in the water-producing layer is pressurized by an inverted submersible electric pump assembly, flows out through the injection oil pipe to inject water into the injection layer, thereby achieving the purpose of replenishing energy to the formation.

[0022] Specifically, the formation water from the water-producing layer 3 is pressurized by the inverted submersible pump assembly 4, and then flows out through the outlet 7 of the injection pipe 5 to inject water into the injection layer 6; the upper formation water is pumped into the injection layer 6 through the suction port device (such as the suction port device) on the inverted submersible pump assembly 4.
