Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas transportation, and particularly relates to a device for preventing wax walling and sand deposition and a heavy oil gathering and transportation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Heavy oil reservoirs are widely distributed in China, and the reserves of heavy oil are much more than those of light oil resources. Therefore, the exploration and development of heavy oil is an inevitable trend for oilfield enterprises.

[0003] The development and transportation of heavy oil are difficult due to its large burial depth, high viscosity and strong corrosion. The wax content of crude oil in most heavy oil reservoirs is about 5%, and the heavy oil reservoirs are mainly distributed in sandstone reservoirs, which leads to serious sand content in the produced heavy oil.

[0004] During the transportation of heavy oil in a gathering and transportation pipeline, wax walling occurs on the pipe wall, especially on the top of the pipeline, and sand deposition occurs on the bottom of the pipeline. When the wax walling and sand deposition accumulate to a certain extent, the pipe diameter is sharply reduced, the friction along the pipeline is increased, the pipeline capacity is reduced, and the pressure requirement of the pipeline is increased. This not only consumes a large amount of energy, but also increases the probability of pipeline accidents.

[0005] In view of the serious energy consumption and safety problems caused by wax walling and sand deposition in the gathering and transportation system, the traditional methods usually adopt physical cleaning and chemical cleaning methods. The physical cleaning generally adopts pig, high-pressure water jet and mechanical scraping to remove impurities on the surface of the pipeline. The chemical cleaning adopts one or more chemical agents or their aqueous solutions to remove impurities on the surface of the pipeline. However, these methods need to be stopped for cleaning, consume a large amount of energy and have high cost, which does not meet the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, and has a great impact on oilfield production. The methods of increasing the pipeline temperature, mixing with light oil and adding demulsifiers have little effect on solving the problems of wax walling and sand deposition.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe, economical and efficient heavy oil transportation device to inhibit the accumulation of wax on the top of the pipeline and prevent the accumulation of sand on the bottom of the pipeline during the transportation of heavy oil, so as to ensure the long-period stable operation of the gathering and transportation pipeline and improve the efficiency of heavy oil transportation in the gathering and transportation system.

[0051] Optionally, the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade are spaced apart along the axial direction of the pipeline body 14. Further, the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade are alternately arranged. Thus, not only a good flushing effect can be achieved, but also compared with the continuous arrangement of the spiral structure, the present scheme can reduce the energy loss of the heavy oil transportation.

[0052] Optionally, the blade angle of the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade is between 25° and 75°, and can be 25°, 45° or 75°. The blade angle of the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade increases with the increase of the viscosity of the heavy oil.

[0053] Optionally, the spacing between the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade is between 0.2mm and 0.8mm, and can be 0.2mm, 0.5mm or 0.8mm. The spacing between the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade decreases with the increase of the viscosity of the heavy oil.

[0054] The corresponding relationship between the blade angle and the spacing of the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade and the properties of the heavy oil is shown in Table 3:

Optionally, the control valve 9 adopts a pressure relief valve, which can automatically relieve pressure when the internal pressure is greater than the relief pressure.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the sand in the cyclone cavity 3 can fall into the main conveying cavity 4 through the communication hole, and under the action of gravity, the sand continues to deposit downward, and the sand carried by the thick oil in the main conveying cavity 4 flows forward with the thick oil in the main conveying cavity 4, gradually deposits on the second partition 11, and falls into the deposition cavity 5 through the sand leakage piece 12, which can effectively avoid the blockage of the main conveying cavity 4 caused by the deposition of sand in the main conveying cavity 4.

[0059] Optionally, a plurality of sand leakage pieces 12 are arranged along the axial direction of the pipeline body 14, so as to ensure that the second partition 11 has good sand leakage capacity at each position along the axial direction of the pipeline body 14.

[0060] Optionally, the sand leakage piece 12 comprises a cylindrical hole section and a conical hole section, wherein one end of the cylindrical hole section is connected to the main conveying cavity 4, the other end is connected to the large-diameter end of the conical hole section, and the small-diameter end of the conical hole section is connected to the deposition cavity 5. The cylindrical hole section of the sand leakage piece 12 has a large opening, which is convenient for the deposition of sand, and the conical hole has a funnel structure with a taper angle of 30° to 60°, which is convenient for the rapid settlement of sand to the deposition cavity 5 below.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of sedimentation blocks 10 are arranged on the side of the second partition 11 connected to the main conveying cavity 4, the sedimentation blocks 10 are arranged along the axial line of the pipeline body 14, and the sand leakage pieces 12 are arranged alternately with the sedimentation blocks 10. In the embodiment, during the forward flow of the sand with the thick oil, most of the sand flows in the lower part of the main conveying cavity 4 due to the action of gravity, collides with the sedimentation blocks 10 above the second partition 11 to slow down, and can be quickly deposited between the sedimentation blocks 10.

[0062] Optionally, the sedimentation block 10 has a prismatic structure with a gradually increasing cross-sectional size from the end far away from the second partition 11 to the end close to the second partition 11, so as to reduce the resistance of the sedimentation block 10 to the thick oil, thereby reducing the energy loss during the conveying of the thick oil, the inclined surface structure can increase the width of the sand falling channel formed between the sedimentation blocks 10, and can guide the sand, so as to easily collect the sand and easily make the sand slide to the sand leakage piece 12.

In this embodiment, the closing plate 15 can be an arc plate structure, when the closing plate 15 is attracted to the pipeline body 14, one side of the arc surface of the closing plate 15 is attached to the pipeline body 14, when the closing mechanism is in the first state, the closing plate 15 covers the sand discharge hole 13, and the sand discharge hole 13 is blocked, by sliding the closing plate 15, the closing mechanism is switched to the second state, at this time the sand discharge hole 13 is no longer blocked by the closing plate 15, and the sand in the sedimentation chamber 5 can be discharged through the sand discharge hole 13. It is worth noting that during the process of discharging the sand in the sedimentation chamber 5, only a small amount of thick oil is discharged with the sand because the sand is accumulated in the sedimentation chamber 5, and this process can be completed without stopping the delivery.

[0064] Optionally, the closing mechanism further comprises a handle 17, the handle 17 is fixedly connected with the closing plate 15. In this embodiment, the shape of the handle 17 is not limited, for example, it can be a block structure of any shape such as a rectangle, a square or a trapezoid, or it can be an “n” shaped frame structure. The handle 17 and the closing plate 15 are fixedly connected by welding or are integrally formed with the closing plate 15, so that they have good connection strength. By providing the handle 17, the sliding of the closing plate 15 is more convenient.

[0065] Optionally, the handle 17 is located at one end of the circumferential direction of the closing plate 15, and the handle 17 can rotate the closing plate 15 by a certain angle along the circumferential direction of the pipeline body to switch the state of the closing mechanism.

[0067] The above scheme only exemplarily introduces an optional form of the closing mechanism, and in some other forms, the closing plate 15 in the closing mechanism can be connected with the pipeline body 14 by clamping or hinging.

[0068] For example, the hinged form, one side of the closure plate 15 is hinged with the pipeline body 14, the other side is detachable fixed through structure such as latch, the switching between the first state and the second state of the closing mechanism can be realized by rotating the closure plate 15.
