Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a large displacement separation device used in the field of underground multiphase medium separation, and in particular to a device capable of realizing efficient separation of oil, gas and water three-phase media in a narrow underground space of an offshore oil field. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the global economy and the growth of population, the demand for energy continues to increase. In recent years, my country's oil extraction technology has also been developing continuously. In addition, onshore oil extraction has gradually entered the late stage of high water content or even ultra-high water content. Energy acquisition has gradually shifted to offshore oil fields, and oil field extraction technology has been continuously improved. Technologies including drilling equipment, submarine pipelines, and oil field development projects have been greatly improved and developed. Therefore, offshore oil fields have huge resource potential and are of great value to future energy supply. For the treatment of produced fluids, technicians have proposed some solutions. Patent document 1, CN202121728442.X, uses gravity separation to complete the three-phase separation of oil, gas and water. However, under this scheme, after separation, the oil phase still carries some gas, and the water phase carries some oil phase. The separation efficiency is not good, and its volume is large, making it difficult to apply underground. In addition, this scheme uses a level meter to detect the working time of the pneumatic rod, which has errors, and its separation is not carried out at any time. Patent document 2, CN202223218047.4, the oil-gas-water three-phase separation device uses metal foam microporous filler to separate and remove water, and then uses the oil-gas density difference to separate oil and gas. However, under this scheme, due to the obstruction of the foam, some gas will be separated together with the water, and the tangential velocity of the oil-gas mixed medium after the water is removed is greatly reduced. If the separation is continued by centrifugal separation, the separation efficiency will be greatly reduced. The separation effect is not good under this scheme, and there is gas in both the oil phase and the water phase. In addition, when the scheme encounters a large displacement condition, it is difficult to make corresponding changes. Summary of the invention

[0012] 1. The present invention first performs gravity separation on the oil, gas and water three-phase mixed medium, and then the oil and water two-phase medium after degassing enters the device for cyclone separation, so that the oil phase is produced by a centrifugal pump through multiple overflow channels, and the water phase is reinjected through multiple underflow channels, completing the oil, gas and water three-phase separation while reducing the lifting cost of water treatment.
[0013] 2. The present invention adopts an eccentric shaft-passing method to realize a single motor driving dual pumps while making the eccentric side of the device closer to the inner wall of the casing. The distance between the two is narrower than the other side, thereby having a faster flow rate, being more conducive to the separation of the gas phase and the liquid phase, and further improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency of the device.
[0014] 3. The design of the eccentric through-shaft hole of the present invention allows more space on each combined plate for installing the cyclone, so that multiple existing cyclones with small processing capacity can be replaced with cyclones with larger processing capacity. At the same time, multi-stage series connection structures can be further added according to the processing capacity to achieve separation of large-displacement multi-phase media.
[0015] 4. The present invention is provided with one-way check valves in all overflow and underflow channels, and utilizes gravity and the coordination of various components in the valve to achieve one-way discharge of liquid, thereby preventing liquid backflow from causing a decrease in separation efficiency.
[0016] 5. The present invention is provided with bridge channels at both ends, which are connected to the centrifugal pump when the device is eccentric, without changing the installation method of other equipment, thereby increasing the applicability of the separation equipment.
[0017] 6. The present invention can be connected to a small space in a wellbore to realize the separation of oil, gas and water three-phase media, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the gas phase, collecting the oil phase and reinjecting the water phase. The over-axis eccentric design adopts more space to install the cyclone. According to the size of the processing volume, multiple small-capacity cyclones can be selected to replace a single large-capacity cyclone, and even a multi-stage series structure can be added to achieve an efficient parallel arrangement of cyclones and realize large-displacement multi-phase medium processing, which not only increases the size of the device processing volume, but also enhances the practicability of the equipment. It is an integrated downhole multi-phase high-efficiency separation device that combines gravity separation and cyclone separation technology, which can achieve efficient separation of oil, water and gas three-phase media in a limited space and improve the economy of oilfield exploitation.
[0018] 7. The present invention occupies a small space and can be directly applied to the narrow space underground. There is no need to lift the produced fluid to the ground for separation, which reduces energy waste and saves economic costs. The efficient parallel use of cyclone separators enables the equipment to better cope with the working conditions of large processing volumes in offshore oil fields.
[0019] 8. The present invention enables efficient separation of the three-phase mixed medium of oil, gas and water while occupying a small space. After separation, the gas phase is isolated outside the device and discharged in the tube for treatment. The oil phase is produced by a centrifugal pump and enters the oil pipeline for further treatment. The water phase is pumped out by a centrifugal pump and reinjected, thereby increasing the service life of the operating equipment and completing the pre-separation of the produced fluid, thereby indirectly improving the oil field recovery rate and reducing the energy consumption of the subsequent separation system.

The flow rate here is faster and the pressure is lower. The gas-containing oil-water mixture is gravity separated and degassed before the mask 101. The gas phase continues to flow upward in the casing, while the oil-water mixture enters the inner side of the mask 101 under the action of gravity. Figure 2 The oil-water mixture enters the device from the liquid inlet 1021, flows through the cavity between the primary feed pipe 111, the secondary feed pipe 110 and the transmission shaft 117, and then enters the oil-water separation area from the primary feed hole 1111 and the secondary feed hole 1101, and enters the oil-water cyclone separator 112 from the liquid inlet 1121 to complete the oil-water separation. The oil phase flows out from the overflow pipe 1125, and enters the straight overflow channel 1022 and the eccentric overflow channel 1023 in the upper connector 102 through two overflow channels consisting of the overflow channel 1 1031, the overflow channel 2 1041 and the overflow channel 3 1051, and then overflows from the top.

The water phase separated by the first-stage cyclone enters the bottom end plug 107 through three bottom flow channels consisting of bottom flow channel 1 1052, bottom flow channel 2 1061 and bottom flow channel 3 1071, while the water phase separated by the second-stage cyclone directly enters the bottom end plug 107 through bottom flow channel 4 1072. After that, the water phase flows through the bottom flow drainage hole 1074 and the shaft drainage hole 1091 and is pumped out and re-injected by the centrifugal pump.

Figure 4 As shown, a top through-shaft hole 1082 is provided inside thereof for the transmission shaft 117 to pass through, and two top overflow channels 1081 are provided inside thereof for the oil phase to pass through. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the appearance of the bottom bridge channel, which has an axial drainage hole 1091 inside, through which the transmission shaft 117 connecting the top centrifugal pump and the bottom motor passes. In addition, the separated water phase also flows through the hole, and then is pumped out and reinjected by the centrifugal pump at the bottom through the flow channel in the motor. Figure 6 The upper connector has an appearance and a cross-sectional view. The degassed oil-water mixture enters the device from the liquid inlet 1021 and is separated. A straight overflow channel 1022 and an eccentric overflow channel 1023 are provided inside the device. Both channels are for the separated oil phase to pass through without interfering with each other and avoiding the transmission shaft channel. In addition, a groove 1024 is provided at the bottom end for clamping the first-stage feed pipe 111.

Fig. 9The bottom plug is shown in the appearance and cross-sectional view. The outer end of the plug has three bottom flow channels 1071 for the water phase to flow through. The top groove has three bottom flow channels 1072 for discharging the separated water phase. There is also an eccentric through-shaft hole 1073 in the middle for the transmission shaft 117 to pass through. The bottom has a bottom flow drainage hole 1074. The separated water phase eventually flows out from here and is pumped out and re-injected after passing through the bottom bridge channel 109 and the motor. In addition, the transmission shaft 117 also passes through here. The appearance and cross-sectional view of the oil-water cyclone separator are shown in the figure. Fig.10 As shown, the oil-water mixture enters the cyclone from the liquid inlet 1121, and undergoes a strong swirling motion after passing through the spiral flow channel 1124. The light oil phase gathers toward the axis and flows out from the overflow pipe 1125, while the heavy water phase flows toward the side wall and flows out from the bottom flow port 1122, completing the separation of the oil and water phases. In addition, a card bead 1123 is left on the outer wall of the cyclone to fix the cyclone in the chute 1 1153 and the chute 2 1163.
