Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of downhole throttling devices, and particularly to a non-metallic composite coiled tubing downhole throttling device, a control circuit and an operation method. Background Art

[0002] The non-metallic composite coiled tubing has excellent corrosion resistance, sufficient pressure-bearing strength, anti-tensile and bending resistance, and can be continuously formed, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of construction workers and improve the efficiency of tripping operations. Therefore, it has become a good substitute for traditional steel oil pipes. Based on its good designability and continuous forming process characteristics, the non-metallic composite coiled tubing provides favorable conditions for the composite laying of cables such as power cables, signal cables and auxiliary heating cables. The downhole electronically controlled throttle valve is arranged on the non-metallic composite coiled tubing, and its main functions are mainly reflected in regulating the downhole oil and gas flow rate and controlling the liquid and gas production volume. Generally speaking, the throttle valve is a downhole tool for regulating the wellhead pressure and flow rate. During the production process of an oil well, the wellhead pressure is an important parameter, which directly affects the production capacity of the oil well and the output of oil and gas. The installation position of the downhole electronically controlled throttle valve is at the bottom of the well. Different from the throttle device that forcibly reduces the passage diameter at the wellhead, which is likely to cause a sudden drop in pressure and thus ice blockage, the downhole electronically controlled throttle valve can slowly control the wellhead pressure by adjusting the fluid flow rate entering the pipeline and is not likely to cause ice blockage. When the wellhead pressure is too high, the downhole throttle device needs to reduce the gap between the valve core and the valve seat to lower the wellhead pressure; conversely, when the wellhead pressure is too low, the downhole electronically controlled throttle device will appropriately increase the gap between the valve core and the valve seat to increase the wellhead pressure.

[0003] At present, there is no relevant device on the market that can freely adjust the flow passage area on the wellhead ground to control the flow rate. The mainstream products on the market are traditional downhole throttle devices. The existing downhole throttle devices can only be adjusted by putting in or taking out the throttle nozzle each time, and cannot be adjusted steplessly on the ground. Secondly, special fishing equipment is required for fishing during the removal process of the traditional downhole throttle device, and the single operation cost is huge. Moreover, it is also impossible to smoothly control the wellhead pressure and production volume. Therefore, the traditional downhole throttle device is likely to cause huge losses to oilfield exploitation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a non-metallic composite coiled tubing downhole throttling device that can be adjusted steplessly on the ground. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the prior art and the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present application. The terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] The downhole throttling device provided by the embodiments of the present application is applicable to deep well oil and gas production. Natural gas production generally adopts the self-flowing method. In the early stage of natural gas well production, the well pressure is high and it is easy to produce gas in the early stage. However, during the entire life cycle of the natural gas well, as the production time of the well continues, in the middle and late stages of production, the productivity of the well will gradually decrease and the flow rate will also decrease significantly, which is not conducive to normal gas production. Especially when the gas production flow rate is lower than the critical liquid-carrying flow rate, liquid will accumulate at the bottom of the well. Once liquid accumulation occurs at the bottom of the well, the gas production of the well will be greatly reduced, and in severe cases, it will even lead to gas well flooding and production suspension. In the prior art, in order to still increase the gas production rate in the middle and late stages, a downhole throttler is used to control the channel area, thereby increasing the gas production rate. The conventional operation is to first lower a throttler with a fixed channel area into the well, but it can only maintain gas production for a period of time. In the late stage of production, the previously lowered throttler can no longer meet the gas production requirements in the later stage. Therefore, the original throttler needs to be salvaged with special equipment first, and then a throttler with a smaller channel area is lowered again, so that the well can continue to be exploited. However, in the field of oil and gas production, the cost of lowering a throttler once is huge, and professional operation is required, which is not conducive to the efficient operation of deep well gas production. Therefore, after long-term research and thinking, the present application has opened up a new path, no longer relying on the traditional inherent idea of multiple lowering of throttlers, and realizing the setting of a non-metallic composite continuous pipe string downhole throttling device in the gas production well in advance. Only need to adjust the throttling area of the corresponding downhole throttling device according to the gas production rate requirements in the middle and late stages of the gas production well, so as to meet the exploitation requirements of the entire life cycle of the gas production well, and truly realize the stepless adjustment of the non-metallic composite continuous pipe string downhole throttling device.

[0038] Exemplarily, the control of the downhole throttling device is mainly operated at the wellhead control cabinet 101, and the staff can operate the movement of the throttling nozzle 21 through buttons at the wellhead, so as to realize the adjustment of the area of the flow channel 12.

[0039] Exemplarily, the downhole throttling device includes a throttle valve; the material of the valve body 1 includes stainless steel. In order to better carry out heat exchange, a heat exchange groove with a length of one meter is formed on the valve body 1 in this application, and the heat exchange efficiency of the downhole throttling device is improved by increasing the contact surface between the surface of the valve body 1 and the downhole environment.

When the throttling nozzle 21 moves up and down, the position of the throttling nozzle 21 can be judged by the reaction force generated by the compression of the spring, that is, by observing the compression degree of the spring, the displacement or position of the throttling nozzle 21 can be indirectly judged; the first elastic member 22 can also apply an opening and closing torque to the opening or closing of the downhole throttling device, so as to effectively prevent the situation that the motor cannot be started. The transmission member 23 converts the output torque of the power component 3 into thrust, so as to drive the reciprocating movement of the throttling nozzle 21.

[0042] Exemplarily, as Figure 10 shown, the non-metallic composite coiled tubing 102 is connected to the downhole throttling device through a joint 103.

[0045] Exemplarily, a moving cavity is formed on one side of the valve body 1 close to the throttling nozzle 21. The stop block 24 cooperates with the moving cavity to ensure that the throttling nozzle 21 only makes reciprocating motion without rotational motion; a wool felt ring is arranged in the moving cavity in the present application, which can reduce the jamming of the throttling nozzle 21 during movement, so as to ensure that there is no slag inclusion in the movement process of the throttling nozzle 21.

[0046] Exemplarily, the throttling assembly 2 further includes a second elastic member 29. The second elastic member 29 is sleeved outside the throttling nozzle 21. One end of the second elastic member 29 abuts against the stop block 24, and the other end of the second elastic member 29 abuts against the valve body 1.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1-4 shown, the throttling assembly 2 further includes a mounting block 25; the transmission member 23 includes a lead screw 231 and a bushing 232; the bushing 232 is sleeved outside the lead screw 231 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 231; the mounting block 25 is sleeved outside the lead screw 231; one side of the mounting block 25 abuts against the first elastic member 22, and the other side of the mounting block 25 abuts against the bushing 232.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1-4 shown, the throttling assembly 2 further includes a first bearing 26 and a second bearing 27; both the first bearing 26 and the second bearing 27 are sleeved outside the lead screw 231, and the first bearing 26 and the second bearing 27 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bushing 232.

[0049] Exemplarily, the first bearing 26 and the second bearing 27 are respectively arranged at both ends of the bushing 232. Through the first bearing 26 and the second bearing 27, the reaction force generated by the first elastic member 22 can be transmitted to the output end of the power assembly 3, and moreover, the first bearing 26 and the second bearing 27 can reduce the friction between the lead screw 231 and the valve body 1 during rotation, so as to ensure the normal operation of the downhole throttling device.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the power assembly 3 includes a power component 31, a housing 32, and a coupling 33; the housing 32 is connected to the valve body 1; both the power component 31 and the coupling 33 are disposed inside the housing 32; the fixed end of the power component 31 is connected to the housing 32, the movable end of the power component 31 is connected to one end of the coupling 33, and the other end of the coupling 33 is connected to the lead screw 231.

The housing 32 can not only act as a retaining wall for the resin, but also increase the adhesion of the resin, and can also increase the rigidity of the housing 32, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the housing 32; the outlet end cover is provided with an outlet hole and a resin pouring port. During the actual filling process, most of the resin is first poured in, then the outlet end cover is covered, and finally the motor wire is led out and the final resin pouring is carried out.

[0055] Exemplarily, the capsule protector 4 is the core component of the downhole throttling device. Among them, the material of the capsule is rubber material. After filling the cavity with insulating oil, it can effectively balance the internal and external pressures, thereby reducing the overall sealing difficulty of the downhole throttling device, and can also immerse the components in lubricating oil, thereby increasing the service life of the downhole throttling device and reducing the friction between components.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1-4 shown, the downhole throttling device for non-metallic composite continuous tubing string further includes a centralizer 5, and the centralizer 5 is connected to one end of the capsule protector 4 away from the power assembly 3.

The voltage or current signals at the output end of the power component 31 are transmitted to the control end on the ground through the power cable and signal cable arranged in the non-metallic composite coiled tubing 102, thereby realizing the judgment of the opening position of the downhole throttling device, and the rotation of the power component 31 can be controlled through the control cabinet 101, thereby realizing the adjustment of the throttle nozzle 21, that is, realizing the stepless adjustment of the downhole throttling device on the ground, thereby controlling the wellhead pressure and production, improving the efficiency of oilfield exploitation, and reducing costs.

[0061] An embodiment of the present invention provides an operation method for a non-metallic composite coiled tubing downhole throttling device, as Figure 9 shown, using the control circuit of the non-metallic composite coiled tubing downhole throttling device, including the following steps:

[0062] S1: Place the downhole throttling device downhole, control the first relay 9 to close through the numerical control switching power supply 6, and turn on the non-metallic composite coiled tubing downhole throttling device;

[0063] S2: The output end of the power component 31 rotates and drives the transmission component 23 to rotate through the coupling 33. The transmission component 23 drives the throttle nozzle 21 to move back and forth in the length direction of the flow channel 12, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the downhole throttling device.

[0064] S3: The first elastic member 22 is stressed during the movement of the throttle nozzle 21, and transmits the force to the transmission member 23 through the mounting block 25. The transmission member 23 then transmits the force to the output end of the power component 31 through the coupling 33.

[0065] S4: A sensor is provided at the output end of the power component 31. The sensor can convert this signal into a current signal through the second chip 8 and display it on the control panel at the wellhead.

[0066] S5: The staff judges the position of the throttle nozzle 21 through the current signal on the control panel and can adjust the position of the throttle nozzle 21, thereby accurately adjusting the flow rate of the downhole throttling device.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, in step S1, the first elastic member 22 adds an opening and closing torque to the opening or closing of the power component 31.

[0068] Exemplarily, on the ground, the staff gives a start or stop signal to the power component 31 through the control panel. After receiving the signal, the power component 31 located inside the downhole throttling device rotates forward or backward, and then transfers the torque to the transmission component 23 through the coupling 33, thereby being able to adjust the displacement of the throttle nozzle 21. In the present application, by observing the degree of increase in the current on the wellhead control panel, the opening or closing position of the throttle nozzle 21 can be judged in a timely manner. Specifically, the greater the reaction force generated by the first elastic member 22, the current on the control panel will increase linearly. The main functions of the first elastic member 22 include converting the change in the displacement of the throttle nozzle 21 into a visible linear current change. At the same time, the control cabinet 101 can also detect the current of the power component 31, thereby preventing the power component 31 from burning out due to excessive current. The present application can also detect the flow rate at the wellhead and adjust the opening and closing conditions of the downhole throttling device according to the feedback result.
