Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of natural gas exploration and development, and in particular to an electric submersible pump suspension process pipe column. Background Art

[0002] In oil production, for oil and water wells where the downhole energy is insufficient to achieve self-flowing production, downhole electric submersible pumps are usually used to implement mechanical oil production. In order to achieve stratified production and testing, such wells usually adopt a Y-string structure, with sub-production pipes and tools suspended under the Y-type joint. The Y-type joint bears the hanging weight of the lower sub-production pipe string in this type of pipe string and provides a separate downhole channel for wireline cable testing operations.

[0003] Due to the limitation of the inner diameter of the production casing and the outer diameter of the Y-type tool, the internal space of the casing limits the selection of the outer diameter of the unit. At the same time, with the increase of side drilling wells, the space inside many 7-inch casings cannot accommodate the side-by-side arrangement of the bypass pipe of the unit and the Y-string, and the Y-tube separate production and testing cannot be realized. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an electric submersible pump suspension process pipe string, wherein the electric submersible pump unit is detachably connected to the upper oil pipe and the lower oil pipe respectively, without the need for a Y-type joint, thereby greatly reducing the maximum projection area of ​​the pipe string and being able to be lowered into a 7-inch casing.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric submersible pump suspension process pipe column, wherein the electric submersible pump unit is detachably connected to the upper oil pipe and the lower oil pipe through flanges or threads, and can be directly connected to carry the lower pipe column without the need to use a canning tool to bear the weight of the bottom pipe column, thereby further reducing the maximum outer diameter of the pipe column.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric submersible pump suspension process pipe string,

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions, including:

[0008] A tubing hanger, which is arranged on the upper part of the casing;

[0009] An upper oil pipe, which is arranged below the oil pipe hanger, and the upper end of the upper oil pipe is connected to the oil pipe hanger;

[0010] An electric submersible pump unit, the upper end of which is detachably connected to the lower end of the upper oil pipe; a radially arranged suction port is provided on the electric submersible pump unit;

[0011] A lower oil pipe, the upper end of which is detachably connected to the lower end of the electric submersible pump unit;

[0012] A perforated pipe, which is arranged in the middle of the lower oil pipe and has a plurality of radially arranged openings;

[0013] A positioning seal, which is arranged at the lower part of the lower oil pipe and is used to achieve sealing with the packer in the casing;

[0014] A production sliding sleeve is arranged at the lower end of the lower oil pipe.

[0015] Preferably, a downhole safety valve is provided on the upper portion of the upper oil pipe.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes:

[0017] A cable packer is arranged on the upper oil pipe and is located below the downhole safety valve.

[0018] Preferably, a safety joint is provided on the lower oil pipe above the perforated pipe.

[0019] Preferably, the electric submersible pump unit is detachably connected to the upper oil pipe and the lower oil pipe respectively through flanges or threads.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the electric submersible pump unit is detachably connected to the upper oil pipe and the lower oil pipe respectively, and does not need to use a Y-type joint, which greatly reduces the maximum projection area of ​​the pipe string and can be lowered into a 7-inch casing. The electric submersible pump unit is detachably connected to the upper oil pipe and the lower oil pipe respectively through flanges or threads, and can be directly connected to carry the lower pipe string, without the need to use a canned tool to bear the weight of the bottom pipe string, further reducing the maximum outer diameter of the pipe string, and solving the problem that some large-diameter and large-displacement units cannot be lowered after using a canned tool.
